    The Path That Led Us to Styling

    In this episode of the Style Chat Podcast, stylists Sarah Liller and Tami DeLami take you behind the scenes of their careers and share how they each found their way into the world of fashion and styling. If you’ve ever wondered how someone actually becomes a stylist—or if it’s something you’re “born with” versus something you can learn—this conversation offers an honest and personal look. From childhood memories of dressing Barbies and obsessing over outfits to early experiences with shopping, sewing, thrifting, and design, Sarah and Tami reflect on the moments that shaped their love of fashion long before it became a career. They also share the winding, non-linear paths that led them to styling professionally—from fashion design and wardrobe work to building their own businesses and working with private clients. Along the way, they talk about the difference between knowing how to dress yourself versus knowing how to style someone else, why creativity can’t fully be taught, and the “spidey sense” stylists develop over time when it comes to seeing outfits, proportions, and potential in a single piece of clothing. They also touch on the role of experience, intuition, and lifelong exposure to art, color, and design in shaping their expertise. This episode is equal parts story, insight, and validation for anyone who has ever felt drawn to style in a deeper way. Whether you’re curious about becoming a stylist or simply want to understand what goes into great personal style, this conversation gives you a new appreciation for the skill, creativity, and instinct behind it.https://www.instagram.com/sarahlillerstyling/https://www.instagram.com/tami_sofia/

    How to Stay on Top of Fashion Trends (Without Chasing Them)

    Trends are always changing. So how do you actually stay ahead of them… without looking like you’re trying too hard? In this episode of the Style Chat Podcast, stylists Sarah Liller and Tami DeLami pull back the curtain on how they track fashion trends in real time — and how you can too. From runway recaps and street style in Paris and New York to what’s quietly showing up in your favorite stores, they share the exact clues they look for before a trend fully explodes. They talk about the 20-year fashion cycle (yes, the mid-2000s really are back), how to tell the difference between a flash-in-the-pan moment and something that’s going to stick around, and why seeing a trend trickle from designer to mass market is a major signal. You’ll hear their thoughts on barrel jeans, bootcuts, trending colors, unexpected fabrics, and the subtle styling shifts that often matter more than the item itself. But here’s the twist: staying “on trend” isn’t the goal. Sarah and Tami also dive into the part most people get wrong — blindly chasing trends that don’t actually suit them. They share how to filter trends through your own body, lifestyle, and personal aesthetic so you look current without losing yourself. If you’ve ever wondered how stylists seem to know what’s coming next — and how to participate in trends without feeling costume-y — this episode gives you the inside track.https://www.instagram.com/sarahlillerstyling/https://www.instagram.com/tami_sofia/

    Must Have Spring Staples

    In this episode of the Style Check Podcast, stylists Sarah Liller and Tami DeLami break down the essential wardrobe staples for spring, with a focus on timeless pieces rather than trends. Centered around the idea of “shoulder seasons,” they share the items that effortlessly bridge fall and spring and make getting dressed easier as the weather shifts. Sarah and Tami walk through lightweight sweaters, denim jackets, trenches, leather jackets, and knit layering pieces, explaining why these classics return year after year and how subtle changes in color, fabric, and silhouette keep them feeling current. They also discuss the power of silk scarves, slingbacks, and transitional footwear, along with more elevated styling touches like sheer socks and thoughtful layering. The conversation continues into spring-ready staples like slip dresses, black skirts, trousers, blouses, lighter-weight denim, chambray, and crisp white tops. Throughout the episode, Sarah and Tami share practical styling ideas, outfit formulas, and personal insights on how to wear these pieces in a way that feels modern, intentional, and true to your personal style. This episode is all about building a wardrobe that works harder for you—fewer pieces, more outfits, and less reliance on fleeting trends. Whether you’re refreshing your closet or learning how to re-style what you already own, this conversation offers approachable, real-life guidance for creating a spring wardrobe that will last for years to come. If you love practical style advice rooted in longevity and ease, this episode is for you.Sarah's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sarahlillerstyling/Tami's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tami_sofia/

From garage sales and live-selling apps to Poshmark, eBay, and resale shops like Buffalo Exchange and Crossroads, this episode gives you a clear framework for choosing the right resale path—without overwhelm or unrealistic expectations.
