331 | The Summer Clothes My Clients Regret Buying Every Single Year
Her Style Podcast | Shopping, Color Palettes, Fashion, Wardrobe, Outfits, ClothingShow Notes
One of the things I find fascinating about summer shopping is how quickly we get feedback. Unlike a winter coat or a pair of boots, most summer purchases get put to the test almost immediately. Within a few weeks, you know exactly what's working, what's sitting unworn in your closet, and what seemed like a great idea until real life got involved.
And after years of helping women build wardrobes they actually wear, I've noticed the same patterns showing up over and over again.
So today, we're talking about the summer clothes my clients regret buying every single year, why these pieces are so tempting in the first place, and what you can do if some of them are already hanging in your closet right now.

Well, I have a personal announcement to share with you today, and I have to admit, it's one I've been going back and forth about.
How do you know when something is actually missing from your wardrobe?
Knowing your best colors can make shopping so much easier. You can walk into a store, scan a rack, and have a pretty good idea of which colors are going to light you up... and which ones probably aren't worth your time.
Welcome back to Her Style Podcast! Last week, I gave you one of my favorite questions to ask when you're considering something new, which is: Do I have a job for this in my wardrobe?
A few weeks ago, I shared my Fall 2026 Trend episode and walked you through some of the questions I use to decide whether a trend is actually worth trying. But now that fall shopping is underway, I want to take that conversation one step further. I'm starting to see which trends women are actually bringing home and wearing — and there are a handful that seem to be fitting into a lot of everyday wardrobes especially well. So today, I want to highlight five of those trends, discuss why I think they're proving to be so wearable, and give you one very simple way to figure out which of this season's trends might actually make your wardrobe more useful. Because sometimes the best trend for you isn't the one that catches your eye first. It's the one that solves a problem you already had.
