    Try It On, Be Cool: Fitting Room Rules That Matter

    We need to talk about fitting rooms. Not the lighting (okay, maybe a little), but what actually happens inside—the habits, the hang-ups, the helpful tips, and the unspoken rules that no one teaches you. In this episode, we’re pulling together insights from both sides of the dressing room door. You’ll hear what sales associates wish shoppers would stop doing, what most of us are guilty of (yep, even stylists), and the five key things I teach clients to make the fitting room a more empowering experience. Because trying clothes on shouldn’t feel like a test—it should feel like a tool for discovery. Let’s make it work for you.

    Respect The Journey: Notes On Traveling Through Asia

    In the newest episode of Wear Who You Are, Natalie opens up about her month-long adventure through Asia, sharing some valuable lessons she picked up along the way. With stops in Thailand, Cambodia, and Japan, she reflects on the theme of respect. It can be strange, reconciling life in America with the incredible cleanliness and respect for public spaces she witnessed in places like Tokyo and Bangkok. Nat shares how the principle of loving-kindness influences interactions with both the environment and each other. There’s a refreshing take on shopping, too (of course!)—she noticed how shopping in these countries feels more social and community-focused, rather than just transactional. Where do you go to gather in a public space? The mall, of course! It’s like a return to the 80s and 90s. In terms of what Nat packed for her trip, she shares her strategy. No secrets here. Her choices emphasized comfort and versatility in the scorching Bangkok heat and cool Tokyo nights. She leaned on breathable fabrics and versatile pieces that could serve different purposes, perfect for navigating the varied climates and activities of her trip. There are also some revelations about how some of her outfits might just have to be “good enough,” rather than fixating on clothes too much to the point that it distracts from the real reason you’re there. To enjoy traveling and be part of another culture! All of this emphasis on community and respect ties into the BU Style Circle community, a membership-based platform where people can connect, share resources, and discover fashion inspiration together. We hope you check it out!

    Nat Chat—Party on the Bottom! All your Denim Questions Answered!

    Welcome to our "Party on the Bottom!" In this town-hall format Nat Chat, Natalie tackles the world of denim. (And, yes, she addresses the Gen Z backlash against skinny jeans.) With a focus solely on jeans (no skirts or shorts here!), Natalie aims to demystify denim by discussing everything from raw denim and sizing intricacies to maintenance and cleaning tips, ensuring that by the end of the episode, you'll feel informed and confident on your next shopping expedition. One of the critical areas explored in the episode is the concept of raw denim. Natalie explains that raw denim refers to fabric that hasn't been washed or distressed, giving it a distinctive dark, uniform look. She emphasizes the importance of understanding terms like "once-washed" and "unsanforized," which can be particularly intimidating for first-time buyers. Moreover, she reminds listeners that the sizing can vary greatly across brands and types of denim. The key takeaway? When in doubt, reach out for guidance from sales associates or customer support teams to ensure you’re making an informed decision. And listen to Wear Who You Are (obviously!). Remember that jeans can be versatile pieces for personal expression! Whether you're holding on to your beloved skinny jeans or experimenting with wider fits, the ultimate goal is to wear what makes you feel great. So tune in and join the conversation—by the end, you just might discover your inner denimhead!

    "Organization Is Freedom" with Camilla Frederico of The Personal Helpers

    In a world that often feels chaotic, finding order can be a transformative experience. This episode of the Wear Who You Are podcast is here to help you get your new year off to a good start, with an Industry Adjacent episode with Camilla Frederico of The Personal Helpers. Our guest is a passionate advocate for decluttering and creating spaces that foster well-being and clarity, and she's also just incredibly warm and funny.  Camilla, a seasoned organizer, emphasizes that organization is not just about tidiness; it’s an essential tool for improving focus, reducing stress, and enhancing productivity. Whether it’s your closet, workspace, or kitchen, a thoughtfully organized area can lead to a more harmonious living experience. A crucial part of Milla's approach is the mindset shift she advocates. She believes that organization should not feel like a chore but rather an act of self-care and empowerment. Creating a space that reflects who you are can lead to greater happiness and satisfaction in your daily life. This episode also explores the psychology behind clutter. Perhaps a client is holding onto an item because of some emotional attachment or a fear of loss. Camilla suggests that if it's really time to let go, perhaps you can ease that pain by gifting that item to someone you really love?  This episode is full of wonderful pieces of advice as you start the sometimes difficult work of simplifying your life. By questioning our belongings, we can make informed decisions about what to keep, toss, or donate. And then that change and simplicity will feel like a sustainable shift, and not a disruption. To make it even easier for listeners to embark on their organizational journey, BU Style has put together a downloadable PDF. This handy cheat sheet guides you through the process of assessing your belongings, helping you decide what to keep, throw away, or donate—making it simple to tackle that overflowing closet or cluttered drawer. Take a look in the show notes below to download yours.

    From Couch to Conference: Redefining Remote Style

    In this solo Nat Chat episode of Wear Who You Are, host Natalie Tincher welcomes listeners to 2025. With many Americans still working remotely, Natalie is all about helping us keep it comfy yet professional. The episode also includes an opening section all about the distinction between "hard" and "soft" pants—what are they and when do you wear them. This episode centers on the concept of how what you wear can actually influence your mood and productivity. So, say goodbye to those pajamas! Changing into something a bit nicer can help you transition into work mode. Natalie shares practical tips on setting your outfit according to your to-do list. If you’ve got a creative day ahead, dress for it! And if you’re tackling spreadsheets, perhaps go for something straightforward (yet stylish). Throughout the episode, Natalie peppers in her personal styling wisdom, detailing her go-to outfits for desk days—think cozy yet chic ensembles that keep you ready for anything from a Zoom call to a quick trip outside. Part of the problem (as we all know) is that our days now encompass so much—how do you dress for them all? The episode wraps up with reminders of the joy fashion can bring, even in remote settings. Clothing helps us feel connected and conveys a little piece of our personality, which is a beautiful tool that often goes underutilized. So let's get started!
