Over the course of my career, I've had the opportunity to work with women who've lost anywhere from 10 pounds to over 100 pounds, and there's always an interesting dynamic at play. They initially think, "Once I lose the weight, getting dressed will be easy." But even after they hit the goal number on the scale, they find themselves in front of a closet full of clothes or a dressing room overflowing with options and still don't know what to wear.

The truth is that loving your body doesn't automatically create a wardrobe you love. Great style comes from understanding what makes you feel like the best version of yourself, regardless of your size.

So whether you're in the middle of a weight loss journey, feeling stuck at the end of it, or wondering whether you should wait until after you lose some weight to begin rebuilding your closet, I'm unpacking all the answers for you in today's episode.

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.

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!
