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

Welcome back to Part II of our summer shorts series! I received 2 listener questions recently around styling shorts for summer. So I decided we’d answer them as Part I and Part II. Last week, in episode 135, we talked about dressing up your shorts for a polished look and today, we’re addressing a question from our friend, Caroline, about how to choose the right inseam length to flatter your body’s proportions and create the Golden Mean effect with your shorts. Don’t worry, I’ll explain what that is in today’s show as well!
 
As always, we have a lot to cover, friend. So let’s go ahead and dive in!

It’s Earth Day, friend! As someone who’s all about buying less, but better, I’m an advocate for ethical fashion and sustainable shopping. But I definitely don’t consider myself to be an expert. And I’ll be honest, sometimes the thought of searching for more sustainable clothing and accessories feels like more trouble than it’s worth. As women, we face so many pressures already. Do we really need to add eco-conscious shopping to the list?
 
Well, my incredible guest, Anita Thomas, says yes and no. I’m so excited to introduce you to Anita because she is all about making sustainable shopping more DOABLE. But first, let me tell you a little bit about her background and how I knew she was the perfect guest to bring in for this topic. Anita is an inventor, sustainability advocate, and founder of the luxury fashion brand Lavāda. During the pandemic, she invented a 4-in-1, interchangeable vegan leather handbag that’s changing the way we think about handbags—and giving conscious shoppers who don’t want to compromise on sustainability for luxury—an elegant, yet eco-friendly option.
 
She’s been using her background as a C-suite executive who drove multi-billion dollar portfolios to build a purpose-driven brand that’s helping to improve sustainability practices in fashion. Because as someone who comes from a long line of stewards of the land, she believes good stewardship is something everyone aspires to achieve. So through Lavāda she’s partnering with others to responsibly increase our impact with the resources we’ve been given.
 
Today, Anita is going to share 5 super simple tips to ease your way into sustainable shopping. I know you’re going to love her down-to-earth demeanor and approachable ideas. And if you want to start shopping more responsibly without feeling burdened or breaking the bank, I know you’re going to love today’s conversation! Let’s dive in!

Welcome back to HER Style Podcast! It’s Thursday, which means it’s time for another Q&A episode. I can’t believe how well this one lined up. A week ago, I was out of listener questions in the queue.

Well, don’t you know, I received a question from our friend, Heather, asking how to choose which wardrobe items to focus on first when you’re ready to revamp your wardrobe. I mean… How perfect is that?
 
I shared my shopping list with you in the last episode and today, I’m going to tell you HOW I prioritized that list and chose which pieces to focus on first.

Things are about to get crazy, friend. In just 2 weeks, we’re moving out of what’s been our home for the past 15 years. It’s bittersweet and —if you’ve ever moved, then you know— it’s also a little stressful. But we also just kicked off the latest round of my group coaching program, HER Style Collective, last week! And as I was welcoming the members into the program on our kick-off call, I realized something…. I want to refresh my own spring/summer wardrobe, too!
 
So I’ve decided to complete the process right alongside them. I mean, why not add one more project onto my plate? Truth be told, this is one I’m really going to enjoy and I think it will give me a welcome reprieve from all the packing and unpacking that’s going to be going down over the next couple of months.
 
I’m already dreaming about what I want to bring into my closet (after we’re settled in, of course). And in today’s episode, I’ll be breaking down exactly what’s on my spring shopping list — and why! I’ll also share how I came up with my list and give you a few pointers to do the same. If you know you want to pick up some new pieces for the season and you want to do it in a more intentional and strategic way, then I know you’re going to love this episode!
