The summer outfit strategy you never thought about

by Paul Julch


Accessories can completely change your outfit. And there’s no time that they're more important than in the summer. Because when you’re wearing less clothes, accessories can shift your outfit from, “I look okay” to, “I look cute!” And we all could use that ‘I look cute’ feeling right now, right? So, instead of getting dressed by picking out your clothes, start with my favorite kind of accessories.

The secret to packing like a stylist

by Paul Julch


People ask me for packing tips all the time - so often that I sometimes think, “again?” But I think it’s because packing isn’t something you do very often. And you can probably name a few times when you could have done it better. But different people have different goals with packing - so here are a few different ways that I've shown clients to pack over the years (with one common denominator).

The question you *should* be asking when you get dressed

by Paul Julch


I tell my clients that our work together is about the clothes, but it’s not about the clothes. Because clothes are just a tool - to advance in your career, to change you how dress for social occasions, to elevate your everyday. But there’s a commonality among all my clients - they want to feel better in clothes. And how you feel in clothes shows up in different ways - physically, mentally and emotionally.

The secret to wearing more of what's in your closet

by Paul Julch


Have you heard people say, “instead of going shopping, shop your closet?” But then you go into your closet & think, “now what?” So here’s a quick reframe. Instead of ‘shopping your closet’, approach it like ‘playing in your closet' - because it gives you permission to just try things out and see what works. So, here are 3 ways you can play in your closet and wear more of what you already own.

3 style mantras for the world we live in

by Paul Julch


I like to think of spring as the start of the ‘style new year’. But while this may feel like the perfect time to create style resolutions - I prefer to create intentions. Because resolutions feel like hard & fast rules that you have to follow. While intentions feel like ideas that will shape your behavior - and I appreciate the gentler approach. So, I’ve come up with 3 intentions (or mantras) to influence not only your style, but how you buy, wear & care for your clothes this year.

What to wear for the resistance

by Paul Julch


I’ve been having lots of conversations (with other people & myself) about where style fits in right now. I’m thinking of it this way - that getting dressed & showing up is a form of resistance. As I’ve said to my clients for years - it’s not about the clothes. It’s about how the clothes make you feel. And right now we need to feel strong. So you can get dressed in the morning, love what you’re wearing - and then forget about it. And do what you need to do. So, here’s one way you can show up, step up & love what you’re wearing.

4 strategies to shift your style this year

by Paul Julch


I hate ‘resolutions’. So, instead of resolutions, I prefer to create intentions. To me, intentions feel more positive & more open-ended. And they come more from a place of growth - and less from a place of judgement. But, whether you’re setting intentions or resolutions - nothing’s going to happen unless you put some actual strategies behind them. So, here are four intentions (that I hear about often from clients) & the strategies you can use to actually accomplish them.

by Paul Julch


Do you have a lot of dressy holiday events & occasions? Or are your holidays casual & laid-back?

How to get out of a style rut

by Paul Julch in the update


Have you ever been in a style rut? (I think we all have!) But here’s the thing – you might be in a style rut and not even know it. If you’re feeling totally blah about your wardrobe – you may be in a rut. If you keep grabbing the same things over and over – you may be in a rut. If you suddenly realize you’re only wearing 5% of what’s in your closet – you may be in a rut. So, here’s an easy way to get out of your rut (with the same process that I use with my clients).
