In this solo episode, I’m breaking down a concept I come back to again and again with clients: style value levers.
These are the core priorities—comfort, creativity, sustainability, price point, and more—that silently shape our wardrobes. And when we try to push all of them to 100%, we end up overwhelmed, disconnected, and still not loving what we wear.
This episode isn’t just about figuring out what matters to you stylistically. It’s about giving yourself permission to focus on the few values that actually move the needle for you right now.
I’ll share:
- What style value levers are and how they subtly guide your choices
- Why personal style systems like color analysis or Kibbe sometimes miss the mark
- What happened when I embraced my Bright Spring palette and let go of outdated beliefs
- A challenge to help you clarify your top 2–3 levers and actually use them while shopping
This one’s for anyone who’s ever stood in front of a full closet and felt like nothing was right—not because it was wrong, but because it wasn’t aligned.
Mentioned in this episode:
- Seasonal color analysis
- Style systems (like Kibbe)
- The role of trends vs. personal alignment
- My personal shift into Bright Spring & essence work
- Rita's Style Keys Interview
