314 | You Know Too Much About Style — And It's Holding You Back

Author: Heather Riggs — Wardrobe Stylist, Image Consultant & Color Analyst February 10, 2026 Duration: 18:12

I don't know if this episode is going to be for everyone, but if you're early on in your style journey, I still want you to pay attention. Because I'm talking about a trap that I see so many women fall into and I don't want this to happen to you!

 

You might be on a big quest to conquer your style — deep diving into color analysis and body typing, paying attention to what's "flattering" and "timeless," learning all the rules about what you're supposed to wear and what you're not. But slowly over time, what you might notice is that all of those style rules stack up.

 

What often happens is that you end up with this invisible rulebook running in the background every time you get dressed. You start writing off certain colors and limiting your options before you even try them on. And somewhere along the way, it becomes less about what you love and more about getting it "right." You've done all the work, but putting an outfit together feels more complicated than ever.

 

So today, I want to talk about what happens when you have all of these self-imposed style rules, why they're holding you back, and what to do when you know too much. I want to simplify the art and science of getting dressed so you can lean on your own intuition and feel excited and empowered when you open up your closet doors.

 

If you ask me, I think it's about time to unlearn a few things, my friend. Dive in with me today and let's discuss.
