Book club is a sanctuary for homeschool moms. It is a place for literature lovers to come together and share their thoughts. If you aren't in a book club or want to get one started, this is for you. I've been part of a book club for a few years now, and the best part is the intellectual stimulation I get from hearing other viewpoints on a book.

Kurt Rosenwinkel, a Philadelphia-born jazz guitarist, is renowned for blending genres and using guitar effects innovatively in jazz. His latest release, The Next Step Band (Live at Smalls, 1996), revisits the music from his acclaimed 2001 album The Next Step and features longtime collaborators Mark Turner, Ben Street, and Jeff Ballard. In addition to his album, Rosenwinkel has published Kurt Rosenwinkel's Ultimate Book of Compositions, which includes scores, tabs, and commentary on his extensive work. He founded his label, Heartcore, in 2016 to release Caipi and take control of his career, likening the label's creation to playing a "record company" video game. His current projects include arranging for the Jazz at Lincoln Center Big Band, collaborating with Wynton Marsalis, and recording a Brahms interpretation following the success of The Chopin Project.

Today I talked with Jannie who is enjoying her retirement and trying to focus on intentionally adding new pieces to her wardrobe. We discussed reaching a point of closet contentment and when to buy new pieces or lean into a trend. I loved seeing the themes of experimenting with style that Jannie had as a teenager that she has continued on to this day in her wardrobe. Lauren & I had a blast during our coffee chat when we talked about trend cycles and whether or not past trends are obsolete or here to stay. LinksGet Your Outfit Formulas Membership!Don't forget to use promo code “TALS50” for 50% off your first month!The Ultimate Book of Outfit FormulasCloset Cleanout GuideEmail us your denim questions or other ideas you have for the podcastFor show notes and additional resources, and to get an exclusive discount on my outfit planning program, Outfit Formulas, visit alisonlumbatis.com/podcast

This time on Wong Notes, guitar legend Kurt Rosenwinkel joins Cory Wong to go deep on all things jazz. The genre has always been a haven for free-thinkers and adventurers, so it's a little surprising when Rosenwinkel reveals that he's incorporated a Fractal FM9 into his live rig—though it's still working in tandem with a good ol' Fender tube amp.Rosenwinkel divulges the details on his “softer, darker” attack, which combined with his approach to tone—including a fair bit of top-end roll-off—constitutes a big piece of his signature sound. Rosenwinkel's forthcoming live record, The Next Step Band (Live at Smalls 1996), captures this sound in the place that formed it: New York City. Rosenwinkel takes Wong back to the halcyon days of the city's kinetic 1990s “hardcore” bebop and free-jazz scene, where Mitch Borden's legendary Smalls Jazz Club was an artistic hotbed (and crash pad) for players of all stripes.Nowadays, more and more artists are forming their connections online rather in a jazz club. But can TikTok and Instagram replace an all-night jazz joint for up-and-coming players?Tune in, and be sure to check out Kurt's career-spanning new Ultimate Book of Compositions.Listen to the full episode here: https://bit.ly/WongNotesGet 30% off your first year of DistroKid by going here: http://distrokid.com/vip/corywongVisit Kurt Rosenwinkel: https://kurtrosenwinkel.com/Hit us up: wongnotes@premierguitar.comVisit Cory: https://www.corywongmusic.comVisit Premier Guitar: http://premierguitar.comIG: https://www.instagram.com/wongnotespodProduced by Jason Shadrick and Cory WongAdditional Editing by Shawn PersingerPresented by DistroKid

Today I had an amazing conversation with Robin who is experiencing transitions in all parts of her life from work, to becoming an empty nester to adapting to body changes with age. We had a great discussion about dressing for who you are now and what steps to take to get there.We also discuss the impact of decision fatigue and that an overpacked closet can cause more problems than it solves. We talk about building a closet of solid basics so that you have a foundation to pair with fun signature pieces.I recommended that Robin lean into embracing a signature style and owning her uniqueness & authenticity.LinksGet Your Outfit Formulas Membership!Don't forget to use promo code “TALS50” for 50% off your first month!The Ultimate Book of Outfit FormulasCloset Cleanout GuideAlison's favorite packing cubesLauren's favorite packing cubesOur favorite photos from Robin's style storyFor show notes and additional resources, and to get an exclusive discount on my outfit planning program, Outfit Formulas, visit alisonlumbatis.com/podcast

In today's episode, I chat with Lauren about my favorite thing as a stylist: the psychology behind the clothes. I asked my Instagram community about the style messages they heard throughout their lives and I work to debunk these style myths. I was not surprised that the most common style messages people have heard are about money & feeling guilty spending money on clothes. I share that I don't believe in the concept of an item being “age-appropriate.” I was excited to learn all about the history of the myth of not wearing white after Labor Day. I also talk about a positive style message - the importance of investing in closet staples as the foundation of your wardrobe. I always recommend investing in the best quality piece you can afford and don't forget expensive doesn't equal quality!LinksGet Your Outfit Formulas Membership!Don't forget to use promo code “TALS50” for 50% off your first month!The Ultimate Book of Outfit FormulasCloset Cleanout GuideMyquillyn Smith's podcast House RulesOutfit Formula's free Facebook Group, Closet CrewVogue's research into the history of not wearing white after Labor DayFor show notes and additional resources, and to get an exclusive discount on my outfit planning program, Outfit Formulas, visit alisonlumbatis.com/podcast

I recommended not only focusing on what isn't working but also looking at selfies to see what you do love that you can try to recreate again.I loved today's coffee chat where Lauren & I discussed one of my favorite things to take care of at home: “tolerations.” The things that bother you every day and only take 5-10 minutes to fix.  LinksGet Your Outfit Formulas Membership!Don't forget to use promo code “TALS50” for 50% off your first month!The Ultimate Book of Outfit FormulasCloset Cleanout GuideFor show notes and additional resources, and to get an exclusive discount on my outfit planning program, Outfit Formulas, visit alisonlumbatis.com/podcast

Today, I'm excited for you to hear my conversation with Laina, a mother and librarian who struggles with pairing clothes and not getting enough wear out of certain items in her closet.  This conversation was such a fun exploration, not just of the closet Laina has today, but of the journey she took to build this closet. I was particularly moved by Laina's reflections on her style influences. Her stories about her fashionable grandmother and her dad's unabashedly bold style really highlight how our family can shape our fashion sensibilities. Laina's journey from adhering to childhood fashion rules to granting herself the freedom to experiment is both relatable and inspiring.  Together, we unpack several layers of the style puzzle: mastering color seasons, the quest for the perfect pants, and how to make unique pieces work harder for you. Laina's emphasis on the importance of regular closet cleanouts and the excitement that comes with seasonal closet swaps was a reminder of the joys of rediscovering what we already own.  If you want to follow Laina's lead and refresh your wardrobe this Spring, check out my free Closet Cleanout Guide!  Key Resources and Links Get Your Outfit Formulas Membership!Don't forget to use promo code “TALS50” for 50% off your first month!The Ultimate Book of Outfit FormulasAlison's Black Opium, Libre, & Mon ParisLauren's FragonardThey're bringing back Calgon Body Mist?!  For show notes and additional resources, and to get an exclusive discount on my outfit planning program, Outfit Formulas, visit alisonlumbatis.com/podcast.

Our last two episodes covered key pillars of my style philosophy. We talked about how you are worthy of looking and feeling your best and style is a skill that ANYONE can learn, including you! In our third episode, we're going to discuss the final pillar of my style philosophy…  Closet Contentment IS Possible!!  For so many women, our closets become a source of stress, not a source of joy. It can be easy to fall into the trap of “more,” but I believe that it's possible to build a wardrobe that elicits a different reaction… Contentment. I believe that you deserve a closet that makes you feel content, not craving more.  In this episode, we cover: How social media has changed the way we consume advertising and has a significant impact on our psyche.The need for connection and belonging drives our desire for material possessions.How to simplify daily decisions, such as getting dressed, can free up mental energy for more important things.Setting a positive example of self-care is important for ourselves and future generations.Cleaning out our closets and curating our social media feeds can lead to greater contentment.Resisting the temptation to buy more can lead to a more fulfilling and intentional life. For show notes and additional resources, and to get an exclusive discount on my outfit planning program, Outfit Formulas, visit alisonlumbatis.com/podcastKey Resources and Links Get Your Outfit Formulas Membership! Don't forget to use promo code “TALS50” for 50% off your first month!The Ultimate Book of Outfit Formulas
