344 | The Question That Saves My Clients the Most Money
Her Style Podcast | Shopping, Color Palettes, Fashion, Wardrobe, Outfits, ClothingShow Notes
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?
And let's say you have a great answer. You can picture exactly how you'd wear it, what you'd wear it with, and where it fits into your real life.
But before you buy it, there's one more question I want you to ask. And this might be the question that has saved my clients more money than almost anything else I teach:
Do I already own something that can do this job?
Because there's a difference between not owning this particular thing and actually having a gap in your wardrobe. And today, I want to help you figure out which one you're dealing with before you spend the money.
Also, at the end of today's episode, I'm going to make a very exciting announcement about something I have in the works for you this fall! You are not going to want to miss this update. So make sure you stick around, friend! We've got some big things coming!!

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.
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.
Okay, I've gotta ask… You most likely read the title, "The Outfit I Wish Every Woman Had" before clicking play on this episode. What did you picture? A great pair of jeans and a fabulous top? A little black dress? The perfect, comfy but cute lounge set? Some magical combination of wardrobe basics that truly works for everyone?
