    How to Transition Your Wardrobe from Winter to Spring

    Spring is officially here, which means it’s time for a wardrobe reset. I’m breaking down the 10 pieces you actually need for spring whether you’re shopping your closet or investing in a few key pieces. I’ve always found spring to be the hardest season to get dressed for. It’s that in-between moment where your winter pieces feel too heavy, but it’s not quite summer either, so figuring out what actually works can be hard. From the perfect work pant to the return of the barn jacket, pencil skirts, and cropped denim, these are the staples, trends, and styling shifts that will make getting dressed this season so much easier. We’re also talking about how to transition your wardrobe from winter to spring, why fabric matters more than you think, and how to bring more personality into your everyday outfits. This episode is your guide to refreshing your closet without overconsuming, focusing on pieces you’ll actually wear and style on repeat. Shop all items mentioned in the episode: https://shopmy.us/shop/collections/4234938 In this conversation, we get into: The 10 spring wardrobe essentials you actually needHow to transition your wardrobe from winter to springWhy switching fabrics is the key to seasonal dressingThe best “work pant” styles for spring (and why they’re so versatile)The return of the barn jacket and how to style itWhy pencil skirts are trending again and how to wear themThe layered tee trend and easy ways to elevate basicsHow to incorporate texture (fringe, feathers, movement) into your wardrobeWhy baby blue is the standout color for springHow to use accessories like belts and shoes to elevate any outfitThe return of lace and how to style it beyond “going out”Why cropped jeans are back and how they change your proportionsThe shift toward sleek, minimal shoes (and the best loafers for spring)How to refresh your closet without buying everything new Timestamps: 02:00  Life update + getting back into routine after being sick 05:00  Why spring is the perfect time for a wardrobe reset 07:00  The importance of fabric when transitioning seasons 09:00  The perfect work pant: what to look for + best styles 12:00  The barn jacket: why it’s a spring staple 15:00  Pencil skirts are back: how to style them for real life 18:00  The layered tee trend and elevated basics 20:00  Texture in fashion: fringe, feathers, and movement 23:00  How to wear statement pieces in an everyday way 25:00  The color of the season: why baby blue works as a neutral 27:00  Bright accessories and the power of a statement belt 29:00  Lace for spring: how to style it beyond the obvious 31:00  Cropped jeans and why showing your shoes matters 34:00  Affordable vs. investment denim options 36:00  The return of the sleek loafer (and why chunky is out) 38:00  How to shop your closet and avoid overconsumption 40:00  Final thoughts: building a wardrobe you actually wear Let’s Get Dressed YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@livvperez Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/letsgetdressedpod/ Newsletter: https://substack.com/@livvperez Liv Perez  Instagram: www.instagram.com/livvperez TikTok: www.tiktok.com/livv.perez ShopMy: https://shopmy.us/livvperez Hosted on Acast.

    The Truth About Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy’s Style (It’s Not the Clothes)

    Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy is everywhere again but the conversation around her style often misses what actually made it so compelling in the first place. I sit down with writer and repeat guest Larissa Mills to talk about the frenzy surrounding CBK right now, from the new Love Story series on FX and Hulu to the endless stream of content promising you can dress like her if you just buy the right boots, coat, or sunglasses. Together, we unpack what people are getting wrong about Carolyn’s style, and why it was never really just about the clothes. In this conversation, we get into: The Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy style revival happening right nowWhat people are getting wrong when they try to copy CBK’s lookWhat it was actually like to live in New York during the Carolyn eraWhether Carolyn was seen as a style icon in real time — or became one laterWhy her style felt powerful because of her aura, confidence, and restraintHow social media and overconsumption have changed the way we approach personal styleThe difference between being inspired by someone’s wardrobe and replicating itWhy repetition, discernment, and editing are the real keys to great personal styleHow to take inspiration from Carolyn’s wardrobe without losing your own point of viewThe brands, silhouettes, and styling tools we’d use to channel the spirit of CBK in a more personal way Timestamps  05:00  CBK resurgence, Love Story and the social media frenzy 07:00  Why “dressing like Carolyn” misses the point of her style 09:00  Larissa Mills on personal style and impenetrable taste 10:00  What women were actually wearing in NYC during the CBK era 12:00  90s minimalism, Calvin Klein, and the “uniform” of the time 14:00  Was Carolyn a style icon in real time—or did that come later? 17:00  The role of aura, presence, and her relationship with JFK Jr. 20:00  Why CBK’s style felt powerful beyond just the clothes 23:00  The difference between copying vs. embodying personal style 26:00  Overconsumption, the internet, and losing individuality in fashion 29:00  How to build personal style through repetition and restraint 32:00  Tailoring, fit, and the reality of making clothes work for you 34:00  Heels vs. flats and the practicality of everyday dressing 36:00  Breaking fashion “rules” and wearing what you actually love 38:00  Editing your wardrobe and developing discernment 40:00  Signature pieces, silhouettes, and building a personal uniform 42:00  Why you’ll never be CBK and why that’s the point 43:00  Introducing “Let’s Get You Dressed” (listener styling segment) Follow Larissa on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/larissamills/ Let’s Get Dressed YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@livvperez Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/letsgetdressedpod/ Newsletter: https://substack.com/@livvperez Liv Perez  Instagram: www.instagram.com/livvperez TikTok: www.tiktok.com/livv.perez ShopMy: https://shopmy.us/livvperez Hosted on Acast.

    Navigating A New Era of Virality, Rage Bait, and Gen Z Content with Cosmopolitan's Editor-in-Chief

    Before she was even 30 years old, Willa Bennett took over not one, but two of the most iconic magazines in media: Cosmopolitan and Seventeen. In this episode, I sit down with Willa to talk about what it actually takes to run a legacy magazine in 2026 — in a culture driven by viral discourse, instant backlash, and internet-speed opinions.

    How an Upper East Side Boutique Is Redefining the Retail Playbook

    At 22-years-old, Madison Dowd bought Ludivine, a long-standing Upper East Side boutique, through BizBuySell.com. Instead of starting a brand from scratch, she stepped into an existing business with loyal customers, real inventory, a balance sheet, and an unwavering belief in the future of retail. This conversation gets into what it actually looks like to run a multi-brand fashion boutique today — from buying decisions and trade shows to navigating instinct versus data. We also talk about learning a customer and buying patterns, what makes the Upper East Side the most valuable retail landscape, and the brands flying off her shelves.  Timestamps: 01:30 — Buying Ludivine at 22: Why she chose to purchase instead of start from scratch 05:45 — Finding the business on BizBuySell and stepping into an existing P&L 10:00 — Learning before changing: understanding a legacy customer base 14:40 — The Upper East Side shopper: loyalty, psychology, and neighborhood dynamics 19:15 — Buying strategy: trade shows, inventory bets, and seasonal planning 23:50 — Instinct vs. data: when to trust your gut  28:00 — Social media’s role in a brick-and-mortar business 30:45 — What actually makes a multi-brand boutique sustainable today Shop Ludivine https://boutiqueludivine.com/ Follow Madison on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/madisondowd/ Follow Madison on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@shopgirlmadison Let’s Get Dressed YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@livvperez Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/letsgetdressedpod/ Newsletter: https://substack.com/@livvperez Liv Perez  Instagram: www.instagram.com/livvperez TikTok: www.tiktok.com/livv.perez ShopMy: https://shopmy.us/livvperez Hosted on Acast.

    Joseph Altuzarra on 20 Years in Fashion, “NYFW Is Dead,” and His Year of Yes

    This week on Let’s Get Dressed, I’m sitting down with Joseph Altuzarra just days after his latest New York Fashion Week show. We talk about what 20 years in fashion really looks like when you’re running an independent brand, why people keep saying “NYFW is dead,” and what it actually costs to put on a show today. Joseph shares how he thinks about staying relevant without chasing hype, the reality of pay-to-play celebrity culture, and why he’s calling this his “year of yes.” We also get personal — from fame and comparison to what it feels like to be 42 and still building. Plus: Heated Rivalry, Wuthering Heights, whether fashion is psychic, and his best advice for anyone who wants to work in the industry.

    NYFW Debrief: Romanticism Revival, Wuthering Heights, and More

    Hi from NYC! This week, we’re debriefing NYFW — everything that happened on and off the runways that stopped us in our tracks. From Ralph Lauren’s romantic revival to the iconic wardrobe on the Wuthering Heights press tour, we unpack why fashion feels like it’s entering a new era of dressing for joy. We also dive into the power shift at Vogue, British Vogue's moving March cover, and what it signals about the future of media.

    How the NFL Became Fashion’s New Runway

    If there’s any sports bet we’re taking right now, it’s that the football field is becoming fashion’s favorite runway. On this episode of Let’s Get Dressed, I’m joined by Daniel-Yaw Miller, sports and fashion journalist, and author of the SportsVerse Substack, for a post-Super Bowl debrief on how fashion showed up all weekend long. From Bad Bunny’s halftime performance in custom Zara and Adidas, to designer activations, athlete styling, and brands finding ways in without buying a single commercial, we talk through why sports have suddenly become such a valuable cultural space for fashion. We also get into why sports feel like a kind of reset for brands — a place to reach massive audiences, soften narratives, and feel culturally relevant without over-explaining themselves. What worked, what didn’t, and why so many fashion brands seem more interested in game day than runway season.    Follow Daniel-Yaw on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/danielyaw_/ Subscribe to SportsVerse https://sportsverse.substack.com Let’s Get Dressed YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@livvperez Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/letsgetdressedpod/ Newsletter: https://substack.com/@livvperez Liv Perez  Instagram: www.instagram.com/livvperez TikTok: www.tiktok.com/livv.perez ShopMy: https://shopmy.us/livvperez Hosted on Acast.
