Hey friend, I'm Heather Riggs, a wife, mom, and 17-year Certified Image Consultant and Color Specialist. After having my son in 2018, my whole life changed. My clothing didn't feel right for me anymore. I didn't have the time or energy to figure it out, so I tried a lot of the quick-fix mistakes you might be making. I copied what the other "cool mom" influencers were wearing on Instagram. I defaulted to preset outfits and cookie-cutter capsule wardrobes that were tailored for someone else and not for me. I ended up feeling even more frustrated and confused about what to wear. I realized that if I was going to feel confident and excited to get dressed again, I needed to buy less and shop smarter. So I sat down and mapped out the exact steps I'd taken with my most successful personal styling clients over the years and decided to get to work. Following this simple system, I built my dream wardrobe easily, efficiently, and inexpensively and now I want to help you do the same!

    Feeling Uninspired? Let's Reignite Your Love of Getting Dressed

    I hope you're feeling more and more excited to get dressed with each HER Style Podcast episode you tune into. But even so or if you're in an early phase of your style journey, rest assured that we all have those days and moments when we look into our closets and feel completely and utterly uninspired.   Maybe just a few weeks ago you did a little shopping, added some new pieces, or even refreshed your whole wardrobe — but now you're right back where you started, reaching for the same easy combos, or just throwing on whatever's clean. If that sounds familiar, I want you to know you're not alone.   Even as a stylist, I have those mornings too. Some days I feel on fire about putting together my outfit, and other days (especially the ones that are meeting-free!), I'm tempted to stay in my pajamas. But I've also picked up a few tricks to make those mornings easier so getting dressed doesn't have to feel like a chore. You can reignite that spark and fall back in love with the process of putting your outfits together, even when your inspiration feels like it's gone missing.   That's what we're diving into today. We're going to talk about the hidden reason your wardrobe can feel uninspiring, the mindset shift that changes everything, the most common mistake I see that makes outfits feel "blah," and some quick tricks to spark fresh ideas — even when you're not feeling it. I'll also share how to stop relying on motivation and start building real momentum, what to do when you're tempted to reach for the easiest thing in your closet, why inspiration always comes in waves, and how to create your very own "inspiration toolkit" so you never feel stuck for too long.   So if you've been in a style slump lately, take a deep breath, because you're about to get your confidence and creativity back, my friend.

    Shopping for Your Real Life (Not the Fantasy One in Your Head)

    When you look at your closet, do your clothes reflect the life you're living right now… or the one you picture in your head?   For many women, this is where things start to break down.We buy the sequin dress for 'someday,' the heels that sit on the shelf gathering dust, the fancy blouse that feels great on the hanger but awkward on a Tuesday Zoom call. And then, we wonder why we're constantly frustrated, standing in front of a full closet, saying we have nothing to wear.   Fantasy shopping is one of the biggest confidence drains in a wardrobe. It leaves us surrounded by things that don't fit our actual lives, so when it's time to get dressed, we feel disconnected from ourselves. But when you learn to shop for the life you actually lead—the meetings, the errands, the coffee dates, the family get-togethers—you build a wardrobe that supports you, builds confidence, and helps you show up as the woman you already are.   That's what I want to talk about with you today: how to shift from shopping for the fantasy to shopping for reality, and why this single change can transform the way you feel in your clothes.   FREE 5-MIN PERSONAL STYLE QUIZ: https://herstylellc.com/quiz HER STYLE ON INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/heatherriggsstyle/ JOIN HER STYLE COLLECTIVE: https://herstylellc.com/collective   Related Episodes: 264 – The 3-Part Formula for a Cohesive Wardrobe That Fits Your Life 130 – The 3 Things You Need to Build Your Dream Wardrobe 43 – Knowing the Difference Between Your Wardrobe Wants VS.

    Capsule Wardrobes Don't Have to Be Boring — Here's How to Build One You'll Love

    When most people hear "capsule wardrobe," they picture a tiny closet full of plain basics—beige sweaters, black trousers, a sensible blazer. Practical? Sure. But inspiring? Not so much. And that's exactly why capsules have a reputation for being… Well, frankly? A snooze-fest.   But in my experience, a capsule wardrobe can be one of the most exciting and freeing ways to get dressed—when it's built around your unique style, your real life, and the right mix of staples and star pieces. It's not about stripping your closet down to a rigid checklist. It's about curating pieces you actually love, so you can dress with confidence and ease every single day.   When your wardrobe feels exciting, everything else gets easier—your mornings, your mood, and the way you show up at work, on the weekends, or at special events. It's not just about clothes. It's about confidence.   In this episode, we're going to reimagine what a capsule wardrobe can look like and how to build one that feels both stylish and personal. If you've ever wanted to simplify your closet but worried that going the capsule wardrobe route would feel restrictive or dull, you're going to love what's ahead.   FREE 5-MIN PERSONAL STYLE QUIZ: https://herstylellc.com/quiz HER STYLE ON INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/heatherriggsstyle/ JOIN HER STYLE COLLECTIVE: https://herstylellc.com/collective   Related Episodes: 188 – Bored with Your Wardrobe?

  5. Why the Right Color Analysis Can Transform Your Wardrobe

    Why the Right Color Analysis Can Transform Your Wardrobe

    Be honest, friend: how many times have you stood in front of your closet second-guessing which colors actually look good on you? If you've been told you're a "Spring" or a "Winter" and still don't feel confident, it's not you. It's the system. And there's a better way.   The truth is, color analysis has the power to completely transform your wardrobe. It can be the thing that unlocks your confidence, helps you shop smarter, and finally makes your closet feel cohesive. But only if it's done right. Because the old seasonal systems? While I love, appreciate, and was trained in them… they weren't built for the modern woman. They weren't built for today's diversity of skin tones, lifestyles, or the way we show up everywhere from Instagram stories to Zoom calls to boardrooms.   So in this episode, I'm going to walk you through how custom color analysis works differently — and why it's the most powerful investment you can make in your wardrobe right now. We'll talk about the gaps seasonal systems miss, the freedom a personalized palette actually gives you, and how to know if your current color guidance might be holding you back. And then, I'll share how you can be one of just 10 women to snag a fully customized color analysis with me this November.   Let's dive in.   FREE 5-MIN PERSONAL STYLE QUIZ: https://herstylellc.com/quiz HER STYLE ON INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/heatherriggsstyle/ JOIN HER STYLE COLLECTIVE: https://herstylellc.com/collective GET A FULLY CUSTOM PERSONAL COLOR PALETTE: https://herstylellc.com/color ***Only 10 spots available!***   Related Episodes: 146 – Confused By Your Personal Color Palette?

    Your Closet Is Full of Missed Opportunities — Here's How to Fix That

    If your closet was a financial portfolio, how would it be performing? Chances are, most of your "investments" aren't pulling their weight. Studies show the average woman wears only about 20% of her wardrobe — meaning 80% of your wardrobe investments are sitting idle. But what if you could flip that around? What if you could get a much higher return on what you already own, without buying more?   That's exactly what we're going to cover today. I want to help you see your closet as an asset, not a liability. Because the fact of the matter is, you've probably already invested hundreds — maybe thousands — of dollars into the clothes you own. And the biggest missed opportunity isn't that you don't have enough, it's that you're not maximizing what's already there.   So in this episode, I'm going to walk you through unlocking the hidden potential in your wardrobe so you can save money, simplify your mornings, and style the pieces you've already purchased with confidence.   FREE 5-MIN PERSONAL STYLE QUIZ: https://herstylellc.com/quiz HER STYLE ON INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/heatherriggsstyle/ JOIN HER STYLE COLLECTIVE: https://herstylellc.com/collective   Related Episodes: 280 – Too Many Clothes and Nothing to Wear? 5 Steps to Break the Cycle 245 – The RealReal Founder, Julie Wainwright, on Redefining Trends and Going for Your Dreams 223 – Shop Your Closet: How to Fall Back in Love with What You Already Own

    Accessorizing Made Easy: How to Elevate Any Outfit in 30 Seconds or Less

    Alright, imagine that you and I are both wearing a plain white t-shirt and jeans. Same exact outfit. Now, I stack bangles, add a fringed bag, and throw on oversized hoops while you slip into delicate pearl studs, tie a silk scarf around your neck, and reach for a polished structured satchel. We started with the same base, but now our looks have a totally different feel, right?   That's the power of accessories. They're not just "extra." They're how we communicate our personality without saying a word. They help us to define and create our presence. They're the secret behind those women who always look well-styled, even in the simplest outfits. And the best part? They take literally 30 seconds to add to your outfit.   In this episode, I'm going to share: The one accessory swap that instantly elevates your look. Which Fall/Winter 2025 accessories are trending—and how to wear them without looking like you tried too hard. How to use balance and placement to highlight your best features. Often overlooked accessories that can make your wardrobe feel instantly updated. And how to build two ready-to-go accessory kits so you'll never feel stuck or unfinished again.   Ready? Let's dive in and discuss how to use accessories to elevate any outfit quickly, easily, and in a way that feels totally you.   FREE 5-MIN PERSONAL STYLE QUIZ: https://herstylellc.com/quiz HER STYLE ON INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/heatherriggsstyle/ JOIN HER STYLE COLLECTIVE: https://herstylellc.com/collective   Related Episodes: 217 – The Best Jewelry Pairings for Your Personal Style and Various Necklines 32 – 5 Tips for Flawless Accessorizing 2 – 7 Personal Style Types and How to Find Your Signature Look

    Are Your Layers Making You Look Bulky? 5 Outfit Proportion Rules That Fix Everything

    We've hit that time of year again: the season of chunky knits, cozy coats, big scarves, and all the layers you can pile on. The temperature is finally starting to dip over here and while I love staying warm and bundled up as much as the next person, let's be honest: cold-weather outfits can sometimes make us feel more like a marshmallow than a style maven.    While you can't always avoid bulk in the fall and winter, you can control your proportions. And that, my friend, is what makes the difference between looking swallowed up by your clothes and looking polished, intentional, and stylish even when you're layered up.    So today, I'm going to break down five outfit proportion rules that will fix everything for you. These guidelines will help you balance out your layers so you never look frumpy and feel confident that your fall and winter outfits look amazing, whether you're heading into a meeting, snapping family photos, or bundling up for a chilly school drop-off.   By the end of this episode, you'll know exactly how to layer smarter, flatter your figure, and show up with presence—no matter how many pieces you've got on.   FREE 5-MIN PERSONAL STYLE QUIZ: https://herstylellc.com/quiz HER STYLE ON INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/heatherriggsstyle/ JOIN HER STYLE COLLECTIVE: https://herstylellc.com/collective   Related Episodes: 185 – Pear Shaped Body?
