Getting dressed every morning shouldn't feel like a problem to solve. But for a lot of women, it does. The same ten pieces on rotation, the Pinterest boards full of outfits that never translate, the pile on the floor before a night out. Today's guest is personal stylist Jamie Lewis, and this episode is everything you didn't know you needed to hear about style. What makes this conversation different is that Jamie isn't talking about trends or hauls or must-haves. She's talking about why style feels so hard for so many accomplished women, and what's actually behind it. We get into why loving fashion and understanding style are two completely different things, why most women's wardrobes are full of the same item in ten colours, and why the oversized everything approach most of us default to when we want to hide something is usually doing the exact opposite of what we hope. Jamie also gets into the connection between style and confidence in a way that is genuinely hard to shake, including how she's watched clients land job interviews, attract better relationships, and walk into rooms differently, not because they spent more money, but because they stopped dressing to disappear. Practically, we cover how to actually start building your style identity using Pinterest the right way, what style archetypes are and how to figure out yours, the one rule Jamie gives every client no matter their size or shape, how to shop for your body in a way that actually works, and why proper undergarments are the most underrated style tool you own. We close out with a rapid-fire hot or not segment covering everything from bodysuits to capped sleeves to the pre-scrunched blazer, and Jamie does not hold back. Her style archetype quiz is linked below, and if this conversation hits for you, her DMs are open. Timestamps:08:58 Style Archetypes Explained09:44 Common Style Mistakes20:30 Shopping List and Capsule Myth22:59 In Store Versus Online25:24 Body Shape Without Rules28:41 Undergarments and Camouflage32:08 Outfit Formulas That Work39:31 Budget Friendly Style Strategy43:12 Hot Or Not57:51 Universal Style Rules Resources Mentioned:Ext-linkStyle Archetype Quiz Connect with Jamie:jbl.styles (Instagram)Website To join the Ambitious Network for free, click HERE. To connect with Kate on Instagram, click ⁠HERE⁠. To apply for ITI, click ⁠HERE⁠. To submit a question to be answered on the podcast, click HERE.

AI is becoming really, really good at sounding like everyone. And it shows. But here's the thing that a machine can't do. It can't be a woman who knows exactly who she is. Lately, I'm hearing the same thing from women everywhere: "I feel invisible. I feel replaceable." And these are not invisible women. These are women who've built things. Run things. Walked into a room and used to own it. In this episode, I'm naming what's happening – and making the case that personal style is our survival strategy. Full stop. What this moment demands is originality. Yours. This is a call for you to stop performing a life and start living one that is unmistakably, unapologetically yours. Here's what we cover: Why so many accomplished women feel invisible and replaceable right now What's actually happening as the world gets handed over to AI Why personal style is one of the most enlightening journeys a woman can take The one thing AI can never fake The firehose of formulas, and why copying her will never get you her result The exact moment my business started taking off The June Invitation and what's waiting for you inside the membership Did you enjoy this episode?

I had a closet full of clothes but still felt like I had nothing to wear. So instead of continuing to shop randomly, I tried something different.I started snapping photos of pieces while I was shopping and uploading them into ChatGPT in real time. From there, it helped me figure out my body type, what silhouettes actually flatter me, what colours work best for my skin tone, and how to build a cohesive capsule wardrobe instead of buying random items.It helped me: create full outfits from pieces I already own  identify gaps in my wardrobe  avoid impulse purchases  define my personal style  and actually make getting dressed FUN again This episode isn't just about clothes — it's about simplifying your life, reducing decision fatigue, and feeling like yourself again after a season of change.If you've ever stood in your closet feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from your style… this one is for you.

In this episode of The Style Stories Podcast, I'm joined by the wonderful Lady Terese Robinson — novelist, former PR and events professional, and wife of the late, great Sir Ken Robinson, whose TED Talk Do Schools Kill Creativity? became one of the most watched of all time. Lady T has lived a richly varied life, from the UK to Los Angeles, and her style story is every bit as interesting as her career journey. We talk about how style evolves over time, why experimentation is an important part of finding your own look, and how she always returns to her core style personality: undone, sexy, classic and chic. We also get into one of my favourite subjects — the idea that style is ageless. We challenge the outdated, fear-based rules the media still pushes about what women “should” or “shouldn't” wear at certain ages, and make the case for dressing in a way that feels true to you, not dictated by somebody else's opinion. One of the most powerful parts of style is how it makes you feel. When you wear something that feels like you, you move differently, show up differently and feel more confident. In this conversation, Lady T and I talk about how to notice what works, why it works, and how paying attention to that can help you build a wardrobe that feels more and more natural over time. This episode is a celebration of individuality, confidence and the freedom to dress without apology. Episode description Lady Terese Robinson joins me to talk about style, identity and confidence at any age. We discuss why experimentation matters, why style is ageless, and why the best outfits are the ones that make you feel most like yourself.

After 244 episodes of fashion debates, wardrobe dilemmas, trend predictions, and the occasional style confession, the Wisdom From the Wardrobe team takes a step back to look at the journey of the show itself. What began as a simple monthly conversation about clothes grew into a weekly exploration of fashion trends, personal style, wardrobe psychology, and the ever-changing relationship people have with getting dressed. Naturally, this episode begins in classic Wisdom From the Wardrobe fashion, with a slightly unexpected detour. Bec arrives armed with a Thera-Cane and the bold declaration that she may have been "born to be 80," which quickly leads to a lively discussion about the so-called Potato Shoe Theory. From Birkenstock Bostons to UGG slippers to foam-molded footwear that looks suspiciously like it may have been inspired by root vegetables, the team explores the rise of comfort-first fashion and the curious charm of "ugly-cute" shoes in the 2020s. From there the conversation turns toward the show itself and the many directions it has taken over the years. Along the way the team revisits memorable moments, spirited debates around the table, surprising fashion comebacks, and the universal wardrobe mystery of why we all seem to own at least one item we've never worn but absolutely refuse to part with. More than anything, this retrospective celebrates the conversations that made the show what it is: discussions about confidence, identity, creativity, and the small daily ritual of choosing how we present ourselves to the world through clothing. After hundreds of conversations about style, trends, and the psychology of getting dressed, the team reflects on what they've learned and what they hope listeners have taken away from the show. Trends may come and go, but great style — like a good conversation — never really goes out of fashion.   If this is your first time listening, here are a few episodes from the archive to get you started: • Our conversations about personal style and confidence • Episodes exploring fashion trends and wardrobe psychology • Listener favorite discussions on closet clean-outs and wardrobe strategy Browse the full archive and discover more conversations about fashion, style, and the everyday ritual of getting dressed.

I have never been a shopper. Starting in my teenage years, I decided I would be emo and wear black all the time. It was just easier, and it matched my teenage angst and all the Alanis Morrissette I was listening to. Can you relate?I would love to tell you that I have changed in my adult years, but I haven't really. Black is still my staple, and I don't put a lot of time into my wardrobe. My guest, Dianne Boyer, has shared with me the importance of putting together a wardrobe that serves us not only personally, but professionally. This is a missing tool that helps us with our confidence and with advocating for ourselves. You know what I'm talking about. When we feel good, we do good. When we wear our favorite outfit, we walk a little taller. And maybe, just maybe, we advocate for ourselves a little more. During our discussion, Dianne and I chatted about:Her origin story in fashion and stylingWhat pushed her out of her work and into running her own business, Dianne in StyleWhat is a color analysis, and why is it important?What is a personal style evaluation, and can it be done from anywhere?What is the goal of Dianne's work with women?If you are anything like me and are quick to go to wearing black as a default or the same outfits repeatedly that you do not particularly love, this show is for you.Here is more about Dianne:Dianne Boyer is a personal stylist helping women rediscover their confidence and joy through style. After decades in corporate and fashion marketing, Dianne transitioned into styling to empower women navigating life's next chapter. She offers practical, personalized styling for women who want to feel vibrant and relevant at any age.Reinvention is not just about what she does for others, it's her own story as well. Her professional path includes leadership roles in Fortune 100 marketing and over a decade in the fashion accessories space. Since the beginning, her career has centered around brand identity, visual impact, and helping others make a strong first impression. She's leveraged her years of marketing experience and love of fashion and applied the same principles for making brands shine to doing the same for women.Dianne has shared her styling insights on television segments in Detroit and Chicago and has been featured in Real Simple, People, and Today.com.

Personal style might look like a surface-level thing, but it’s actually one of the most psychologically loaded choices we make every day. What we wear shapes how we’re perceived, how we feel, and sometimes even what parts of ourselves we give permission to show. In this episode, we’re unpacking the psychology of personal style - why we’re drawn to what we’re drawn to, what shapes our wardrobe, and how to find a style that actually feels like you. We explore: • How upbringing and early experiences shape what feels safe, flattering, or off-limits• The role of the Big Five personality traits• Style as identity signalling• How clothes shift out mood• The role of trends and fast fashion in conformity• How to rediscover your personal style If you’ve ever felt like your wardrobe doesn’t quite match who you are, this episode is for you.

Personal style becomes the entry point for a deeper conversation on embodiment, intuition, and empowerment as Nichole Bigley and Mahjuba Levine explore how clothing shapes energy, identity, and becoming. Through her work, Mahjuba reveals how clothing can hold energetic memory and emotional attachment — often reflecting past versions of self — and how consciously working with your wardrobe becomes a practice of release, alignment, and embodiment. A pivotal moment in her spiritual journey arrived at Mount Shasta, where a profound violet-flame experience and sacred geometry downloads expanded Mahjuba's intuitive awareness. That moment helped reshape her life's work. What began as a wardrobe consulting career evolved into helping clients release past identities, heal and transform, and fully step into who they are becoming. Listen to this episode as Nichole and Mahjuba discuss: The heart as a center for sensing energy, guidance, and embodied knowing. Why closets are sacred spaces holding memory, identity, and past versions of self. How clothing stores emotional and energetic imprint — and what happens when we release attachment. The energetic impact of fabric, color, and conscious consumption on alignment and vitality. How personal style influences confidence, presence, and manifestation in everyday life. The divine feminine rising — and how personal style can support empowerment and self-trust. This conversation invites you to view personal style not as superficial — but as an embodied, intuitive, and spiritual tool for empowerment, alignment, and manifestation.
