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

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!

Hey friend! We’ve got a good one for Q&A Thursday today. Our friend, Alyson, sent in a voice memo recently asking me to walk her through choosing the most flattering necklines. And, as always, I’m going to personalize my answer to the best of my ability so you can confidently pick your perfect tops, too!
 
There are at least 25 different neckline styles to choose from! So I rounded up 4 rules or guidelines to support you with finding your best styles, shapes, and lengths and I think at least one of these suggestions might conflict with everything you’ve been told before. Intrigued? I certainly hope so! Stick around and we will get your necklines all sorted out.
