How to Build an Outfit When You Feel Stuck (Even with a Full Closet)

If you’ve ever stared into a closet packed with clothes and still thought, “I have nothing to wear,” you’re not alone—and you’re in the right place.

Whether you’re dressing for work, running errands, packing for a trip, or just trying to feel more stylish in your everyday life, this episode is packed with practical strategies, hilarious stories (yes, there’s a cruise packing mishap), and fresh ways to rethink your wardrobe.
