HER Style Podcast | Buy Less, Shop Smarter, Build a Wardrobe You Love Heather Riggs - Style Coach, Image Consultant & Color Specialist for Women

I can’t wait for you to hear today’s episode! I received a question from our friend, Alyson, recently about whether going gray will impact the clothing colors that suit her. I hear variations of this question all the time, so I knew we had to address this on the podcast sooner rather than later!
 
Whether you’re contemplating going blonde, brunette, or red, letting your natural color or grays grow out, or even experimenting with playful pops of pink, purple, or other rainbow-inspired hair color hues, you’re going to want to listen to this episode. Because significant changes to your hair color will most likely impact your best colors!
 
So if you’ve invested in a Personal Color Palette or if you don’t want to have to constantly swap clothing in and out of your wardrobe to work for you, then stick around for my best advice about what to consider before making any big changes to your hair color!

Are you feeling confused by your personal color palette? This is a problem I hear about far too often. There are quite a few reasons this can happen, which I’ve already spoken about at length in episode #3 of HER Style Podcast, Why Your Color Season Doesn’t Matter and What You Want To Know Instead. But it’s not an issue I see going away anytime soon.
 
Personal color palettes are trending big time and franchises like House of Colour are dominating the industry. I love that women are wanting to learn about their best colors, but what do we do when the services meant to empower us end up leaving us more confused than we were before? I hear from women all the time who have had 2 and 3 color analyses done and been assigned a different seasonal type each time. Others feel pushed into wearing bold colors that don’t resonate with their neutral preferences.
 
So what should you do? In today’s episode, I’m sharing exactly how to navigate your personal color palette, or more specifically, differences between your color palettes, so you can wear your best colors with clarity and confidence. If you’ve invested in a seasonal color analysis and ended up more confused than before, this episode is for you, my friend. Let’s do this!

Big news! HER Style Podcast has officially crossed 100,000 downloads! It kind of snuck up on me. But I wanted to take a minute to thank you for listening to the show, sharing it with your friends, and leaving a written review if it’s impacted you in some way. YOU are the reason that I continue to show up every Monday and Thursday with new episodes and the hope that they will support and empower you on your style journey.
 
To celebrate today, we have a very special Q&A Thursday episode all about —wait for it— dry cleaning! I know, I know. It may not be the sexiest or most exciting topic for this milestone week. But this is real life. And the fact is, like our friend Cynthia who submitted today’s question, you might also be facing the tough choice of whether you can wear classic, tailored styles and maintain an elegant aesthetic without a local dry cleaner. And even if you do have a dry cleaner on every corner in your neighborhood, you might be worried about additional laundering costs, not to mention chemical exposures and environmental factors.
 
So what should you do? Is there a way to wear dry clean only styles WITHOUT dry cleaning them? I had to do some research on this one, but I came up with a handful of reasons to confidently say YES! Stick around for today’s episode and I’ll share all the tricks to stock up on delicate fabrics without having to pay a hefty dry cleaning bill.

Every once in a while, I feel the nudge to zoom out a little bit and share something I’m learning or about an experience I’m going through in my personal life. 9 times out of 10, it relates back to your style or how you’re showing up. And today’s episode is no exception, so please don’t tune out.
 
I realized this past week that I’ve been putting some unrealistic expectations on myself — in all areas of my life (wardrobe included). In case you’re doing the same thing, I thought I should pull back the curtain and open up about what I'm doing to better manage the expectations I have for my wardrobe and myself. This one is going to be raw, vulnerable, and, hopefully, empowering as always. Let’s grab our tissues and dive in!
