Hey Baby, What's Your Type?
The Everyday Style School
02/15/24 • 20 min
Today, we're looking at some of the countless style typing systems on the internet, each one promising an easy way for us to get dressed and love the results. But do they actually help, or do they leave us feeling more confused than we were before?
I've got some issues with these highly specific, incredibly detailed typing systems, but if they've worked for you, I'm thrilled!
In this episode, I talk about my personal experiences with one of the more high-profile systems, The Kibbe Body Type System. This is an array of thirteen style types based largely on a person's balance of yin and yang. After spending hours exploring this system, I was hopelessly lost and confused!
We also touch on some of the other systems that often use random questions that don't seem to connect, leaving you more puzzled than anything else. Like, what do my curly hair and cuticle shape have to do with the colors I should buy?
In order to actually make style easier, I've developed my own method for identifying your body shape. I call it the L.O.O.K method. It's revolutionary.
In This Episode:
- The challenges and limitations of some of the more common style types
- What these systems lack--and what it means for you
- Why I talk about the 4 Body Shapes
- My revolutionary "L.O.O.K. Method", a simple and effective approach to understanding your body shape
- Why learning how to dress yourself and understanding your own body is more valuable than relying on a specific typing system.

Hunting vs Gathering: The Best Way to Build a Wardrobe
The Everyday Style School
05/24/24 • 21 min
If you've listened to more than one episode of this podcast, you'll know that I talk a lot about being intentional about the clothes you buy and wear. In particular, I discuss getting dressed with intention and being purposeful about honing and developing your style.
However, there's another aspect of style where intentionality is essential—and it's one that often gets overlooked—and that’s wardrobe building. Have you ever considered the process you use to get clothes into your closet?
In my experience, most people naturally adopt one of two wardrobe-building strategies: hunting (shopping with a plan) or gathering (browsing for pieces that catch their eye).
With that in mind, in this episode, I present the pros and cons of each approach, detailing scenarios where hunting and gathering are recommended.
Is one approach truly better than the other? Listen to the episode to find out!
In This Episode:
- Why your closet should be more like a dinner party than a plane ride
- What hunting and gathering mean when it comes to your wardrobe
- Times you should be hunting and times when gathering is a better strategy
- My personal approach to hunting and gathering and how you can start today

My Style Struggles
The Everyday Style School
09/26/24 • 19 min
One of my pet peeves is experts who appear to know it all and never struggle. And in our Instagram-filtered world, this is only getting worse. But guess what? Everyone has their off days!
As a wardrobe stylist with over 20 years of experience, I believe in the power of sharing our challenges to inspire and empower others, to let you know that, if you're struggling with your wardrobe, you're not alone. Because of that, today I'm sharing my personal style struggles and the steps I'm taking to overcome them.
I share my own experiences with body changes and how I went back to basics to reassess what works for my current shape. I also talk about how I tackled my shoe situation to elevate my outfits. Awareness is the first step to making meaningful changes!
I hope these takeaways resonate with you and encourage you to embrace your own style journey.
In This Episode:
- Experts, including wardrobe stylists, also face struggles and challenges - you're not alone!
- The importance of giving yourself grace when dealing with body changes, and to actively seek solutions rather than remaining stuck in frustration.
- Upgrading foundational garments, like underwear, can significantly improve how clothes fit and feel - it's worth the effort to find the right styles.
- Reassess your wardrobe and be mindful of how your body shape and style preferences may have changed over time.
- How to build a more satisfying and functional wardrobe by identifying the reasons behind your style struggles.
Your wardrobe should be a source of joy and confidence. Remember, everything in style is "figureoutable", but it starts with identifying the root of your struggles and being willing to put in the work to find solutions.

Style Lessons I Learned From My Mom
The Everyday Style School
05/07/20 • 40 min
It's a very special Mother's Day edition of the Everyday Style School Podcast!
In this episode, I share lessons I've learned from my mom, and some of our listeners share style lessons they learned from their moms, too.
In Lessons from Linda, I share the story of a style lesson that stuck (for way too long)
In Vocabulary we discuss the difference between ankle, crop, and capri pants, and then answer the question, "But where are they supposed to hit?"
And in Philosophy, I share the best parenting advice I've ever received!
Your homework for this episode is to think about the style lessons you learned from your mother, and decide which to celebrate, and which to let go of. Also, think about the lessons you want your daughters to learn. Plus, there's some fun extra credit!
