Style Lessons I Learned From Baking Sourdough Bread
In this episode, I take you along on my sourdough bread baking journey and reveal the surprising style lessons I discovered along the way. What began as a TikTok-influenced adventure quickly turned into a personal exploration of perfectionism, fear of failure, and finding my own path. I walk you through my complete bread-making journey, from the overwhelm of too much information to the joy of finding my own approach.Through my story of exploding dough and burnt bottoms, I extract five powerful lessons that can apply perfectly to your style journey.Here's some of what you'll learn from this episode:Why fear of failure keeps us stuck in our comfort zones - with both bread and fashion - and how to recognize when your inner critic is holding you backThe crucial difference between collecting knowledge and actually practicing - and why watching all the YouTube videos in the world can't replace hands-on experienceThe turning point that came when I invested in proper education instead of drowning in conflicting internet adviceWhy finding a style approach that matches your personality matters more than trying to follow everyone else's rigid rulesMy expensive mistake in thinking success starts with shopping - and why using what you have first always leads to better resultsI hope this episode helps you recognize that mastering your personal style, like baking good bread, isn't about perfection or following every rule to the letter. It's about having the courage to start somewhere, learning the basics, and then experimenting to find what works for you. Remember that confidence comes from mastery, mastery comes from practice, and practice starts with courage. Some people think what you wear doesn't matter, and that it's frivolous to care about style. And for them, that's fine. But if it matters to you, it matters. Your everyday deserves to be dressed for, no matter what anyone else thinks.Full show notes and resources: https://youreverydaystyle.com/lessons-from-sourdough

Do as I Say, Not as I Do: The Style Advice I Give, but Don't Follow
Today, I'm pulling back the curtain to share something I've been thinking about a lot lately - which pieces of my own style advice I actually follow, and which ones I don't. As someone who gives a lot of guidance about building a better wardrobe, I think it's important to be transparent about how I apply these principles in my own life. More importantly, I want to share why sometimes breaking the "rules" makes sense, even when the advice itself is solid.Here's what I shared in this episode:Why I don't strictly follow a capsule wardrobe approach, even though I create and sell capsule guides - and how this actually makes me better at developing versatile collections that work for different women's needs and styles.The truth about my "no multiples" rule and when I break it.How I navigate shopping in February and August (months I typically tell others to avoid), and the specific criteria I use to decide if an off-season purchase is worth it.The complex relationship I have with "dressing for your body shape" guidelines, and why following them too strictly can actually hinder your style journey. I hope this episode helps you understand that style advice isn't one-size-fits-all, and that even experts need to adapt guidelines to fit their real lives. The key is to understand the principles behind the advice, and then thoughtfully adapt them to your unique situation, lifestyle, and preferences.What matters most isn't following every guideline perfectly, but creating a wardrobe that helps you live your big, rich, full life with confidence and joy.Full show notes and resources: https://youreverydaystyle.com/style-advice-i-dont-follow
