About this episode

Lisa Gillbe discusses the internal aspects of personal style and how to overcome wardrobe confusion.

Podcast Shownotes In this episode, I’m talking about why real style starts within, not from endless outside fixes. Inspiration from Instagram, friends, celebrities, and everywhere else can be brilliant — but until you understand your own inherent personal style, it all tends to feel confusing and disconnected. After 16 years as a personal stylist and having looked inside hundreds of wardrobes, I’ve seen the same two reasons people struggle again and again. In this episode, I break down what they are, why they keep happening, and the practical steps you need to take to start dressing with more clarity and confidence. I’m also sharing a little update from the New Day Originals pop-up boutique in Notting Hill, where I’ll be styling the new collection tomorrow and chatting about this very topic in real life. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why looking outward for style inspiration only gets you so far. The difference between inspiration and true personal style. The two main reasons people struggle with their wardrobes. How to start uncovering your own style from the inside out. Why your wardrobe feels easier once you know what is actually you.
