Wear Who You Are – Details, episodes & analysis

Get ready to jingle all the way with Nat on this episode of the "Wear Who You Are" podcast! Nat dives into the holiday shopping season, equipping listeners with practical strategies to navigate the crowded market with style and confidence. She highlights vital sales dates, including Black Friday and Cyber Monday, while cautioning against the traps of inflated pricing often seen during these events. Of course, Natalie emphasizes the importance of creating a Strategic Shopping List to avoid impulse buys, suggesting tools like browser extensions to track item prices historically.

This episode also shows a Strategic Shopping List in action, demonstrating how a stylist identifies specific items they're looking for during the holiday shopping sales. In the final notes of this solo episode, Natalie also delves a bit into the BU Style values and ethical implications of holiday consumerism, advocating for mindful purchasing that takes environmental and social factors into account.

We encourage listeners to support small businesses and engage in community-building initiatives like Small Business Saturday and Giving Tuesday, and ask you to join us in being thoughtful consumers this holiday season.

In this solo episode of "Wear Who You Are," host Natalie Tincher takes listeners on a Nat Chat that blends community interaction with expert advice, all centered around the art of finding and celebrating wardrobe "hero pieces." Inspired by questions submitted via Instagram (proving that many fashion dilemmas are COMPLETELY universal), Natalie invites everyone to join her in crafting a closet that makes them feel fabulous and confident.

As always, you'll learn how to apply the BU Style methodology to help distinguish between long-lasting fashion trends and those pesky microtrends that seem to pop up overnight only to fade just as quickly (remember Mob Wife?!), likening them to moments from pop culture that came and went without leaving a lasting impression. You'll learn how hero pieces are the ones that make you feel like the best version of yourself—those pieces that transform your mood and feel like a superpower.

Natalie shares concrete anecdotes and examples, and even weaves in testimonials from real clients who have applied this methodology in their own lives. This episode is also super actionable, and contains additional advice about some of those jeans brands that promise to fit across multiple sizes. That's how we start the episode off!

If you're interested in learning more about the BU Style methodology, consider a Q the Stylist one-on-one session with Natalie, or submit your questions via Instagram to be answered via the podcast!

Who was the first person you learned about style from? It was likely your mother, grandmother, or another mother figure in your life. In today’s special Nat Chat episode, we talk about what we learned and carry with us about fashion and style from the mother figures in our lives, including my amazing mom, Jan. It may surprise you that she wasn’t into fashion, but she still taught me important lessons on personal style that remain core to my practice today.

Bonus: Tune in to hear a few stories from a surprise guest, who happens to be my actual favorite!

About a year ago, my friend Faith and I walked into Nomasei's Paris showroom and met its founders, Marine and Paule. What was supposed to be an hour-long appointment between strangers turned into two hours-plus that felt like old friends catching up—and that’s what my Nomasei experience holistically has been since that day. Marine and Paule left the security of big fashion houses to create a brand that they believed could be better for their customers’ comfort needs, the planet, their lifestyles, and more. It was a privilege to sit down with Marine in this conversation to learn more about business development, production insights, the brand’s core values, what’s going on in the fashion industry, and so much more!

You may not think that Fashion Week applies to you, but it does. Remember how Miranda Priestley (played by Meryl Streep) curtly schools us on the subject of “cerulean” in The Devil Wears Prada? In today’s episode, my guest, Sadia Seymour, and I more warmly and gently invite you to come with us for a peek behind the fashion world curtain. Sadia is a Fashion Stylist with 20+ years of experience, and I’m also lucky to call her a friend. In this conversation, we’ll take a behind-the-scenes look at fashion styling and fashion shows. Fresh off of working backstage at NY Fashion Week, Sadia gives us a trend report from the latest season and shares her tips on integrating trends into your existing wardrobe as well as which trends she is most excited about for fall. There’s A LOT of information out there, and Sadia’s cutting through it all to give you the “need to know” intel that you can use for your own style strategy.

Episodes Resources & Notes:
—Follow Sadia online on Instagram @sadiaseymour and @behindtherackny; or visit her websites www.sadiaseymour.com and  www.behindtherackny.com
—Check out one of Sadia’s favorite brands Ulla Johnson
—Add Topstick to your personal styling tools (Hint: it’s MUCH more effective than the “fashion tapes” you find in most stores)

 My high school pre-Calculus teacher used to say, “How do you spell ‘math’? F-U-N!” I always vehemently disagreed until I learned about the ‘cost-per-wear formula’! Cost per wear is a calculation I use before I buy anything and another tool I use with my clients as we consider what investing in their wardrobe should look like. In today’s Style School episode, I walk you through what the cost-per-wear formula is and how to use it to inform your own shopping decisions.

It’s a special Valentine’s Day episode with a client I love dearly, Mystral Echavarria. I will never forget the day that Mystral called me inquiring about working together. Her energy, curiosity, kindness, and strength radiated through the phone — and then when I got into a room with her . . . woah! She shines bright! I often feel like I leave our sessions learning more from her than maybe she did me. As a Somatic Energy Worker and Embodiment & Magnetism Coach, Mystral pieces together all that is in her jam-packed, book smart head and hugely loving heart to provide a space and path for her clients to experience radical self-acceptance and self-love as they learn to heal from past traumas and step into lives of pleasure, joy, and respect. Among many things, this conversation explores the beauty and satisfaction that comes with bringing our full selves —inside and out — into all aspects of our multifaceted lives. 

Episodes Resources & Notes:
