Get ready for a major VIP Guest this week!! Jenny McClendon of @JennyFitStart  joins us this week to discuss the Do's and Don'ts of exercise clothing, dressing, shoes, and accessories. As always, we recommend that you follow along on Holly's curated Pinterest Board! #DOIT And who better than Jenny to help us tackle this important fashion subject? Jenny McClendon, MS, PT of Jenny Fit Start hosts a fitness YouTube channel for seniors and beginners. #fitover50 Her channel is full of motivating exercises and instructional videos where her clients and viewers sweat, have fun, and try new things. Jenny's Fit Start program was named by @Oprah as "One of The 25 Best YouTube Workout Channels to Help Meet Your Fitness Goals at Home" and featured in @GlamourMag as one of the "Top 21 Best YouTube Channel Workouts" Holly sits down with her BFF since middle school to dish out the best advice for what to wear while working out - AND, what not to wear! Elements of Exercise Clothing Number 1: Sports Bras Jenny firmly believes in maximum support for women of a certain age. Look for T-backs, higher in the front necklines, and clasps in the back. Being cute with your sports bra is not a thing; of course, if they're slapping you in the face. #fashioncrime Number 2: Consider Your Activity Are you working out outside? Are you playing tennis? Are you stretching in a yoga class? Are you working out in a gym? Jenny recommends you think about the coverage you need, the support you need, the level of comfort for your activity – AND the level of confidence you want to feel in your outfit. “You are not going to find me in the gym in ratty T-shirts and shorts. This may sound silly, but I like to look put-together at the gym and in public.” -Jenny HOT TIPS: One of Jenny's favorite brands is ZYIA light and tight compression leggings. Her favorite tops are loose-fitting and breathable. Nothing made of cotton. Find something with a little bit of spandex and polyester blend so that it doesn't get stinky, won't stick to you, and doesn't hold sweat. Number 3: SpongeBob SquarePants vs. Jessica Rabbit The shape of your body dictates your workout wear! Someone who is narrow in the hips and legs vs. someone who is curvier in the middle will absolutely need to find support and coverage in different ways. HOT TIP: Holly points out one of her biggest mistakes: Buying workout wear at a yoga place - thinking “Oh my God, this is so cute! I can do yoga in this!” And then trying to go to the gym in the same outfit, and her boobs fall out. #NOTCHIC She did not realize that one does not get the support needed from yoga brands that they need for weightlifting or cardio, etc. Don't jump without support, Sister! #blackeyealert Number 4: Athleisure Wear vs. Workout Wear These are not the same. Athleisure wear is for when you are running around or relaxing. Your workout clothes are for working out and sweating in. Athleisure can go over/in addition to your workout clothing, or be worn alone. Number 5: Workout Shoes This is one of the most popular questions Jenny gets. She insists you need to go to an athletic shoe store, like Fleet Feet or others. They have highly sophisticated ways to fit your foot– first and foremost. Do you have a high arch? Do you walk on the sides of your feet? Do you have Achilles Tendinitis? Major feet issues? If you're high maintainence in the shoe department, GET FITTED FOR YOUR SPORTS SHOES! And skip the big box stores lwhere you pull the shoes off the shelves yourselves. HOT TIP: You should have different shoes for different activities. Running is not the same as weightlifting on your body. If you spend money on fitness classes, it's super important to invest in the proper shoe and body support for each workout. This will only increase your confidence when working out. Holly loves Nike Metcon shoes for weightlifting. Also key: change them out often. The support and sole grip that you need for each workout is depleted each time you wear your shoes. #truth After your workout shoes have served their purpose, please feel free to demote those shoes to your "house" section of your wardrobe. Keep them in yardwork shoe collection, or use them to walk the dog. For more on how to demote clothing in your wardrobe to an "around the house" section, hit up episode 148, Top Pajama & Loungewear pics. Solid. Number 6: Insoles If your feet have problems, even after a good fitting by a person who knows better, learn about insoles for your feet and how to best obtain them. Do you need a podiatrist? Maybe. Can you purchase extra-support insoles at the pharmacy? Yes. The point is to make sure your feet are fully supported, so they can properly support your workout. Poor or ill fitting shoes can lead to additonal knee, back and hip issues. Number 7: Socks This is a personal choice. Do you like thicker socks? Do you get hot and prefer to wear thin socks? There is no correct answer on this. However, you will usually benefit from quality-made socks in any case. Your pinterest board awaits~ HOT TIP: Jenny loves BOMBAS socks of any variety. Buy quality socks that fit well – and buy your favorites in multiples! Number 8: Hot vs. Cold Most of the workout wear rules apply, but think about layering, again, based on your activity. Avoiding cotton or anything heavy that will hold sweat and moisture – because you will still sweat in colder weather! Remember: Holly's tip, as always your workout and exercise clothing are part of your wardrobe. Just becuase it's cold, doesn't mean you skimp and wear pajama pants to the gym. #HOWBOUTNO Number 9: Are Bike Shorts OK? I mean sure if you have fabulous legs..(Jenny). Some say you can't wear bike shorts after a certain age. If you have a larger bottom half, you can wear a longer shirt or jacket over them and wear them around the house or wear them out with air jordans like Holly. #sorrynotsorry. Listen to the end to find out what's next for the Jenny Fit Start empire, because the sky is the limit! We love her attitude that Fitness is for Everyone!

This week, your favorite personal stylist Holly Katz is defining the areas of Pajamas, Loungewear, and other “house clothing” you need to know to avoid committing one of the worst Fashion Crimes: Pajamas worn in public, ratty sleepwear, and inappropriate loungewear. What you wear during your down time matters for a myriad of reasons, but mainly, because you deserve to look and feel your best, especially when you are relaxing! NOTE: We have a TON of Fashion Bestie shout-outs this week, so do not cut this episode short! We have gotten SO MUCH fan mail and so many fashion questions – and this makes us SO HAPPY! Also, as always, be sure to follow along on Holly's curated Pinterest Boards to see all of her suggestions in this episode. First of all: Pajama sets are not loungewear. You cannot go outside or run errands in anything that starts with the word “pajama.” Pajamas, pajama pants and pajama sets are for sleeping. The literal definition of pajamas is “something you wear to bed,” and something you sleep in. Period. End of Story. Loungewear is a step-up from sleepwear. You “lounge around” in it and could possibly run an errand or walk the dog in it - if you are covered in the appropriate areas and don't look like you just rolled out of bed. Pajama Fashion Crimes: Be aware of these critical issues that can lead you down the road to committing pajama crimes - sometimes without even noticing: Buying cheap pajamas at box stores that don't hold their shape or are made of cheap fabric. Wearing your significant other's oversized T-shirts, or old sports, concert, etc. T-shirts that you feel badly about giving away. Mixing your pajama pants and shorts with your assortment of crappy sweatpants in the same drawer. If you mindlessly wear PJs or Loungewear, you will walk by a mirror one day and not recognize the person staring back at you. You need to get your pajama game in order! Hot Tip: We spend time and money on our wardrobe, and even on our workout clothes, so don't skimp on your pajamas and loungewear! This is part of your wardrobe. You need to get your act together and get 2-3 pajamas and loungewear outfits that you can wear on your down time, without being too skimpy. (We are not talking about lingerie in this episode. That is another subject entirely.) Why? Because if you have friends, family, kids, or teens around the house, then their friends are around the house. You need to have some self-awareness about who sees you in your PJs and loungewear. If the Amazon guy rings your doorbell, and needs you to sign for something, you can't open the door half-dressed. Types of Pajamas: You should have some really nice pajamas that are currently in style and fit you correctly. Not 10-year-old pajamas or Christmas-themed pajama pants in May. Okay? #notchic. And just a word to the wise: If y'all do the holiday, dress-up, greeting card with matching outfits thing, or matching pajamas, whatever your tradition is, it's none of our business. We are just telling you that outside the month of December, is a non-negosh. Don't. Do. It. Holly's Favorite Pajama Brands: Eberjay PJ Salvage Casa Bella Natori La Perla Olivia van Halle Barefoot Dreams Yawn Luxurious Organic Nightwear Holly's Favorite Loungewear Brands: Kiya Tomlin | Go to EP 125 Dayo Women | Go to EP 134 Paridaez |Go to EP 26 Carbon 38 Luxury Activewear Alo Yoga Cotton Citizen Pangaia Side Bar: “House Clothes” There are times when you need to do some serious housekeeping, clean out your garage, paint your fence, do a little yardwork, etc. You need clothes that you can get dirty in. So, please dedicate a few items for this area of your life and wear them only for this purpose. Include in this area some shoes, jackets, etc., that can get gross, but which you are not going to wear for anything else. Keep this section of your closet separate. Side Bar: “Sweats” We are not banning sweat outfits. We are banning old, out of style, ratty, beat down sweatpants. Hot Tip: Get yourself a personal gift list. Start a Google Doc. Plan ahead for Mother's Day, your Birthday, Hannukah and Christmas! You know what you want. Your family does not, UNLESS you tell them. Pick out your favorite PJs and loungewear, put them on a list, and COMMUNICATE to your fam and friends what you'd like. If you're the gift giver, always include a gift receipt. In summary, take care of you so you can take care of others. Buy yourself some comfy, silky, pretty PJs! You'll feel better, you'll look better, and you will sleep better – so you can can feel great about what you're wearing, event when you go to bedd. We are the best fashion friend you never knew you needed, so please, please send us your fashion questions via email or on our social DMs. Holly WILL answer and most likely, will give you a shout out on our next episode.

Get ready for a very special new episode, dropping FRIDAY, January 13th, with an exclusive interview with Supermodel and Life Coach Emme! So, FRIDAY the 13th is actually your lucky day! Because your favorite personal stylist  Holly Katz, is expanding her focus on CELEBRATING WOMEN-OWNED BRANDS and WOMEN ENTREPRENEURS on the podcast - all year - this year! #Yaaaaaasssss! And who better to PUMP US UP with confidence and wisdom than our new BFFF (Best Fashion Friend Forever), than supermodel and fashion mold-breaker, EMME?! After three decades empowering women and influencing (shapeshifting / disrupting) the worlds of fashion and beauty, Emme has all this experience and more to share! We are all about Fashion Over 40 - and we mean, WAAAAAYYY over 40. So, it is perfect timing that EMME sits down with Holly to talk about loving who you are - no matter what stage of life you are in. LISTEN HERE! About EMME: Emme has been a trusted voice in the fashion, wellness, beauty, and news industries for more than 20 years, and she is widely regarded as a trailblazing social reformer for women's empowerment and positive body image. She is the founder of the True Beauty Foundation, whose mission is to enhance young people's mental wellness. Emme's passion is to "feel extraordinarily free in our bodies and live our most inspired lives possible" as a TV personality, brand spokesperson, TV and podcast host, consultant, author, Revlon spokeswoman, keynote speaker, and creative director of her clothing lines (EMME®, mebyEMME®, and TrueBeautybyEMME®). Emme was chosen twice for People Magazine's "50 Most Beautiful People," and Ladies' Home Journal named her one of the "Most Important Women in America" and one of the "Most Fascinating Women of the Year." In 2018, Oprah Magazine dubbed her the "Godmother of the Full-Figured Industry." Emme is also a TEDx speaker. She has also been recognized as one of the "Women of the Year" by Glamour Magazine and one of the "25 Most Influential Women" by Biography magazine. So, now you know that EMME is a BFD. (If you need to Google that, then go ahead.) But this girl knows fashion. And she knows women's fashion over 40...and how to love living in your own skin after 40. Join us for a delightful, enlightening and refreshing conversation about loving the woman that you are. Not what you see on Instagram. Not the one you see in photoshopped images in magazines. Not what the trends tell you to be. In Emme's words: “I love finding joy within the honoring of my body and all that it can do. I love being in fashion, being able to be involved in fashion and wearing trend-appropriate fashion. I was also an athlete growing up, so I love being out and about and being fit.” Emme has written a book and done TV shows, and it's all around honoring the body, all the different shapes and sizes and colors and all that we are - and not listening to voices that dictate that “you should be this way, or you should be that way.” “I don't want to feel like I am “less-than” every single step of my life. I want to feel infused with joy. That is it. It's an inward journey to tap in, tune in and turn on to that.” “So, when you hear messaging on the outside, when you hear conversations around the dinner table, when you hear cocktail party discussions, or you see billboards and your image - or your friends' images - are not reflected in the ideas of beauty, just know that deep down inside, that if you're rocking your life and you're in it to win it, that's the best place to be, instead of trying to change yourself.” EMME MKAYYY, #PREACCHHH For instance, one day, you might not have a big butt and then suddenly the trend is that you need to have a bigger butt. So, you run out and try and get one. Or, the next day you need to have a certain hairstyle, so blah, blah, blah. Don't spend time being something you're not. From her early days in journalism to becoming the first plus-size supermodel to becoming a life coach, EMME's journey is one all women can relate to. She has broken every rule and every mold that women have been forced to believe for decades – and then – she walked New York Fashion Week runway in her 50s for Chromat - in lingerie - no less! (Or, very much less!) This is GIVING. US. LIFE. Her inspiring, nurturing and thoughtful approach to being body-positive, to tapping into to her female super-powers and spreading human happiness, is just a beyond refreshing conversation to hear. You'll want to save this one. Listen, review, SHARE and enjoy this soul-comforting episode wherever you get your podcasts.

Her storytelling, industry experience, and purpose weave a captivating tale in this episode about chasing dreams and the realities of fashion entrepreneurship. “I am a Brazillian-Canadian fashion designer with a passion for prints, beauty and old-times-everything. As a child I would move around the world with my parents, collecting new stories, cultures and languages from the old world. As an adult, I continued to live abroad, and worked in France, Brazil and finally, moving to Canada at 27. My favourite thing is to express beauty creating shapes and graphics that make you dream of a simpler world, full of magic and poetry. My ultimate life goal is to help people feel like their true-whimsical-self, bringing joy into their lives and creating beauty.” “After 11 years working in the Fashion Industry, in several fields, I decided to launch my own identity through this brand, creating prairie-like fashion with a pinch of "whimsy". The sustainability factor was crucial for me, as I used to be a terrible fast-fashion shopper. I wanted to contribute to the slow-fashion movement, with my fantasy language.

So we talk about all of it. We dissect the incredible photo for M Magazine by Zoe Ghertrner with Ashley piercing our souls, staring straight into camera with a deep blue scarf draped around her neck, and Mary-Kate looking effortlessly cool in a flowing white t-shirt and pulling her hair back, deep in thought. And then we talk about the videos from The Row's runway show on Sept 28th, and the beauty of our two favorite women looking genuinely ecstatic.

If you're not in fashion, Fashion Month can seem a bit overwhelming. I often get asked - can I buy that look right now? When will that style be available? Or why didn't that runway piece make it to stores? Well, there's a big business behind runway shows - it fuels the fashion industry forward, sets trends for the seasons ahead, and allows fashion buyers to decide what makes it from the runway to our closets. So today we're answering all of your questions with one of the best buyers in the industry, Tiffany Hsu, who's the Vice President of Womenswear and Kidswear Buying at Mytheresa. (If you follow me on IG, you know Mytheresa is my ultimate retailer of choice - there's just no better buy if you're looking for the best pieces in fashion!). As a buyer, she's tasked with traveling the world and looking at every designer's collection, understanding the Mytheresa customer intimately, and knowing exactly what styles and how much of them to buy so that retailers and designers make a profit when it hits the stores six months later. She's basically a fashion psychic. However, buying is a big numbers game, so for all my listeners looking for a numbers based job in fashion, listen up! In this episode, Tiffany and I talk about what goes on behind the scenes during fashion week, how she's learned what her clients want, and the trends she's loving right now.

What to Wear on Mother's Day & Outfit Ideas | EP 90 Happy Mother's Day, and Stepmother's Day and Moms of All Types Day!! Because being a mom is the hardest job in the world. Put that on repeat. As you may know, Holly is FAMOUS for helping people plan out “what to wear” for the important events and holidays in their lives. And other than your birthday, Mother's Day is the second most important day in your life. “I'm telling you to be overdressed and impractical. To spend what you want to spend, go where you want to go, drink overpriced wine, and live like it's your last day.” – Holly Katz, your favorite personal stylist. In this week's episode, Holly is sharing how to dress and how to enjoy Mother's Day like the Queens that you are! You should indulge. Eat something that's really bad for you - and then drink a lot. Do something different. Dress in a way that makes you feel on top of the world. Lock the door and don't feel bad about it. Be an attention whore. That's one of Holly's many genetic gifts. A need some selfish coaching? LOOK NO FURTHER. (We are just full of the best self-help advice you would ever need this week.) Why is Mother's Day important? Or in Holly's case, Stepmonster Day! Because Moms (this means you) are the glue that holds a family together. They are the most important person in the house. And believe us when we say this - because if you don't - then you should go to a hotel for a week alone, and just see how your family gets along without you. Without your guidance, your instructions and your presence. It would NOT be okay. #GoodLuckWithThat Anyway, back to the program… What You Need for a Mother's Day Outfit: Holly's insider tips and recommendations.
