The Everyday Style School

This week we borrow a question from Danae in our VIP group who asked if she should be shopping in the petite section. It can be tricky when you're right on the line, so I share a couple of tips for figuring it out. Also, I share how women who traditionally aren't petite can use petite sizing to fix fit issues.

Are you one of the 40% of U.S. adults who made a New Year’s Resolution this year? If you are, how’s that going for ya?

Studies show that most people abandon their good New Year’s intentions by January 18. Hopefully, you’re still going strong.

But if you’re not, this episode may be able to help get you back on track. I’m breaking down the five most common resolutions and sharing how your wardrobe can help you achieve them.

So often, we tell ourselves, “I’ll have a better wardrobe ‘when'”. When I lose weight. When I go back to work. When I have a better social life. Sound familiar?

I want to encourage you to flip your thinking and instead say, “I’ll have a better wardrobe ‘so'”. So I can lose weight. So I can get the job I want. So I can get out there more. Sounds better, doesn’t it?

Whether your goals are New Year’s based or not, this episode will help you use your wardrobe as a super powerful tool to help you crush them.

• Why your wardrobe is a better catalyst for change than a reward
• How frumpy gym clothes can sabotage your fitness goals
• The recent trend that boosts your mental well-being
• How up-leveling your style can help improve your finances
• The truth about waiting until you reach your goal weight to dress better

If you're anything like me, you're probably starting to get into the holiday spirit and feeling excited about seeing friends and family, and hosting parties. But let's be real, entertaining can be stressful. The pressure to make everything perfect and live up to social media standards can really take the fun out of it.

Luckily, my guest today has some great ideas (and the perfect skill set) to help us all make one part of the holidays a little more enjoyable.

One of the key takeaways is to remember our "why" - why are we hosting this party? By focusing on the reason we're doing this, we can let go of the pressure to make everything perfect.

Friends, let's all make the holidays, especially entertaining, a little easier this year.
