    5 Questions to Ask Before Shopping the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

    Do you want to hear a little secret? It's not so much of a "secret" as it is a very surprising fact about me. Despite my undying affinity for Nordstrom, I have never actually shopped during their annual Anniversary sale. Crazy, right? Please don't take my Nordy club card away from me!   But my clients were equally shocked to learn a few weeks ago that I'm not over setting alarms, building wish lists, and refreshing my browser the second the sale opens. I'm just over here buying what I need when I need it throughout the year.   Now, this week, I might browse. But if I do, I'm using the exact strategy I'm sharing with you today, because I have absolutely no interest in a giant cardboard box showing up on my doorstep delivering a whole lot of wardrobe regret. And I don't think you want that either.   So because the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale has been buzzing around in our Her Style Collective chats over the past several weeks, you might also be wondering what you should buy, how to identify gaps in your wardrobe, and whether it's worth shopping this year…    I think the question you really want to know isn't "What's on sale?" It's "How can I be a smarter sale shopper?"   Whether you're getting ready to hunt the Nordstrom Sale, the clearance rack at Target, or your favorite thrift store, today's episode is for you. I'm going to map out some important questions to consider before you scoop up that irresistible sale item only to regret it every time you see it hanging in your closet with the tags still on.   FREE 5-MIN PERSONAL STYLE QUIZ: https://herstylellc.com/quiz HER STYLE ON INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/heatherriggsstyle/ JOIN THE WAITLIST FOR HER STYLE COLLECTIVE: https://herstylellc.com/collective   Related Episodes: 319 – How to Tell If Something Will Actually Work In Your Wardrobe (Before You Buy It) 294 – Black Friday Trap or Smart Buy?

    The Vacation Packing Mistake Almost Everyone Makes

    Recently, one of our Her Style Collective members was planning for a special birthday getaway. She had already mapped out a stunning travel capsule and our plan was to review it together during a 1:1 session, just to make sure she hadn't forgotten anything, that all of the pieces she chose worked well together, and to pinpoint any unnecessary duplicates, like too many tanks or an excessive number of shoes.    But the first question I asked her on the call changed everything.    It wasn't "what's on your itinerary for the weekend?" or "how does the weather look?" Although those details are important to think about, too. This question was something that almost everyone forgets to consider when they're packing.   So before you start laying out your clothes and overstuffing your suitcase in preparation for your next trip, I want to help you avoid the #1 packing mistake almost everyone makes. Keep listening and we'll make sure your next getaway is truly your best one yet!   FREE 5-MIN PERSONAL STYLE QUIZ: https://herstylellc.com/quiz HER STYLE ON INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/heatherriggsstyle/ JOIN THE WAITLIST FOR HER STYLE COLLECTIVE: https://herstylellc.com/collective JOIN MY FREE VIP EMAIL COMMUNITY: https://herstylellc.com/vip   Related Episodes: 214 – I Packed for My Vacation In 30-Minutes (With Zero Planning) and Here's How It Went 161 – Best Packing Practices for Worry-Free Travel 37 – How to Plan and Pack Your Next Travel Wardrobe

    Help! Everything In Stores Looks Like It's For Someone Else

    Have you ever walked through a store and thought, "Wait. Who is this actually for?" It can feel like everything is made for someone else. Someone taller. Younger. Trendier. Maybe someone with a completely different body type or lifestyle than yours.   After a while, it's easy to start believing that fashion just isn't for you anymore, or that you'll have to settle for clothes you don't really love.   But before you give up on shopping altogether, I want to offer a different perspective. Because in today's episode, we're talking about why this happens, why shopping can start to feel so discouraging, and what to do when it feels like nothing in stores reflects your style. The goal is to help you build a wardrobe you actually love without lowering your standards or settling.   So don't give up, friend! We're about to make shopping way easier and more empowering than ever.   FREE 5-MIN PERSONAL STYLE QUIZ: https://herstylellc.com/quiz HER STYLE ON INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/heatherriggsstyle/ JOIN THE WAITLIST FOR HER STYLE COLLECTIVE: https://herstylellc.com/collective   Related Episodes: 297 – The Women's Clothing Stores I'm Loving Right Now (and How to Find Your New Favorite Brands) 118 – Struggling with Negative Self-Talk?

    The Summer Clothes My Clients Regret Buying Every Single Year

    One of the things I find fascinating about summer shopping is how quickly we get feedback. Unlike a winter coat or a pair of boots, most summer purchases get put to the test almost immediately. Within a few weeks, you know exactly what's working, what's sitting unworn in your closet, and what seemed like a great idea until real life got involved.   And after years of helping women build wardrobes they actually wear, I've noticed the same patterns showing up over and over again.    So today, we're talking about the summer clothes my clients regret buying every single year, why these pieces are so tempting in the first place, and what you can do if some of them are already hanging in your closet right now.   FREE 5-MIN PERSONAL STYLE QUIZ: https://herstylellc.com/quiz HER STYLE ON INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/heatherriggsstyle/ JOIN THE WAITLIST FOR HER STYLE COLLECTIVE: https://herstylellc.com/collective   Related Episodes: 286 – Shopping for Your Real Life (Not the Fantasy One in Your Head) 239 – The Summer Style Essentials You'll Actually Wear on Repeat 55 – Sick of Making Returns?

    9 Signs It's Time to Replace Something In Your Closet

    Hey, friend! Before we dive into today's episode, I want you to picture something.   Imagine that you're standing in your closet, holding a piece you've owned for years. Maybe it's a cardigan. Or a pair of jeans. It could be that black top you've worn a hundred times. And you're having the same conversation with yourself you've had at least ten times before.   "This is fine. It still works." But then another thought creeps in. "Could I do better?" And suddenly you're stuck.   Because on one hand, we're constantly hearing messages about buying less, being more intentional, making the most of what we already own, and avoiding unnecessary purchases. On the other hand, I never want you to settle. The point is to build a wardrobe you love, right?   So where's the line? How do you know when it's time to keep remixing what you already have versus when it's time to upgrade or update something? That's exactly what we're talking about today.   By the end of this episode, you'll have nine clear signs that it's time to stop trying to make something work and start looking for a replacement piece that serves you better.   FREE 5-MIN PERSONAL STYLE QUIZ: https://herstylellc.com/quiz HER STYLE ON INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/heatherriggsstyle/ JOIN THE WAITLIST FOR HER STYLE COLLECTIVE: https://herstylellc.com/collective DOWNLOAD THE FREE CLOSET AUDIT FLOWCHART: https://herstylellc.com/closet-audit   Related Episodes: 322 – Your Style Is Changing — Here's How to Update Your Wardrobe Without Starting Over 308 – The Most Overlooked Skill in Style?

    Why "It Fits" Doesn't Always Mean It's Flattering

    Have you ever tried something on and bought it just because it fit? Maybe part of you knew the color wasn't quite right or it wasn't the exact thing you were hoping to find. But you couldn't bring yourself to keep up the search? Or you genuinely didn't have time to keep looking?   Often, those are the pieces that end up sitting in your closet for months because even though it technically fit your figure, it didn't fit your life, your style, or the way you wanted to feel.    If you've ever struggled with that, then today's episode is for you.    We're going to talk about why fit is only one piece of the style puzzle, the seven things that matter just as much as fit when you're evaluating clothes, why so many women settle for "good enough" pieces, and how to know whether something is truly worth bringing home.   Because if your goal is to build a wardrobe you genuinely love, then you cannot let fit alone be the final say. You can do so much better than that, my friend. And in this episode, we're raising the bar and equipping you to stop settling and start making smarter buying decisions. So go refill your mug and settle in. I can't wait for you to hear this one.   FREE 5-MIN PERSONAL STYLE QUIZ: https://herstylellc.com/quiz HER STYLE ON INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/heatherriggsstyle/ JOIN THE WAITLIST FOR HER STYLE COLLECTIVE: https://herstylellc.com/collective   Related Episodes: 286 – Shopping for Your Real Life (Not the Fantasy One in Your Head) 129 – Which Style Foundation Is the MOST Important?

    How to Wear Bold Colors Without Feeling Overdone

    Just like in the grand scheme of life, our style journeys tend to take us on a winding road where our focus can shift greatly from one season to the next. One minute, all that matters is cramming for your finals and securing that summer internship. Then you blink and you're planning for your wedding day or to deliver your first baby. Maybe you're getting established in your career or transitioning into retirement. Our lives aren't static and neither are our wardrobes. That's one of the coolest things I get to witness among my clients. Not only do I get a sneak peek into their day to day lives, but I get to see how their style priorities evolve over time. When our work starts, we dive into the basics — fit, color, making sure their style is dialed-in and true to who they are.  A little while later… after they've gotten their feet wet… I get to see what really moves the needle for them. Some clients aspire to seek out the perfect prints, others want to liven up their accessories, and then there are those who realize they've still been brushing off the basics (undergarments, pajamas, athletic wear — that old chestnut) and we get to tackle the nuances of what they truly need for their style to thrive in the current season. I don't know what that is for you or the exact stage of wardrobe development that you're in. But for me? Right now, I am craving color. With all the rich and radiant hues to choose from this spring, you might be itching for more variety in your closet, too. But if you're also like me in that you look best in softer or more muted tones, you might feel limited in how much color you can wear. Here at Her Style, we're all about breaking the rules — with strategy and intention. So in today's episode, I'm going to help you layer on the color in a way that complements you and boosts your confidence. Because there's nothing worse than getting dressed and then feeling self-conscious or overdone all day. Let's make sure you're wearing the colors you love in a way that makes you look and feel your very best.   FREE 5-MIN PERSONAL STYLE QUIZ: https://herstylellc.com/quiz HER STYLE ON INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/heatherriggsstyle/ JOIN THE WAITLIST FOR HER STYLE COLLECTIVE: https://herstylellc.com/collective   Related Episodes: 150 – 8 Ways to Be More Bold and Creative With Your Outfit Styling 82 – How To Confidently Wear ANY Color You Want 72 – Create Better Outfits Using These 3 Design Principles

    On a Mission to Stop Buying More Things and Wear What You Have? You're Going to Love Hearing Joy's Story

    Happy Tuesday, my friend, or whatever day it happens to be when you've landed on this episode. I'm so delighted to introduce you to another graduate of Her Style Collective today.    Joy is a wife, mom, a longtime educator, and a recent entrepreneur, and I invited her on to share all about her experience going through the framework I broke down for you in our last episode. She joined the program on a mission to stop buying more things and start using what she had… and boy, did she succeed!   There is so much gold in this episode, from how she was able to overcome the guilt of letting go of things she'd invested in over the years to helpful habits you can start applying immediately to curb your impulse shopping and be a better steward of your finances. Joy also talks candidly about her early wins in the Collective, what she's accomplished as a graduate, and why she actually didn't think she was the right fit for it at first.   I know you're going to adore her and I think you'll see a little bit of yourself in this conversation, too. And my original plan was to close doors to our May cohort yesterday. But if this stirs you to invest in yourself and take action on your style and wardrobe goals, then I'd invite you to join us today, May 12, 2026, and enjoy 30 days of extended access to the Collective before doors officially close for the summer. This is your last chance to jump in with us!   You can head over to https://herstylellc.com/collective for all the details and to grab your spot. This is your last chance to enroll for quite a while, so I hope to see you inside! And for now, enjoy my conversation with Her Style Collective graduate, Joy.   FREE 5-MIN PERSONAL STYLE QUIZ: https://herstylellc.com/quiz HER STYLE ON INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/heatherriggsstyle/ ***JOIN THE MAY COHORT OF HER STYLE COLLECTIVE ⮕ https://herstylellc.com/collective
