Episode Highlights

Following a burning desire

Amy shares how she was a pharmaceutical sales rep climbing the career ladder and was struggling to get pregnant. After IVF and giving birth to twins, she knew she wanted more flexibility to be with her kids and had a burning desire to pursue her dream of being a stylist. From there, Wardrobe Made Simple was born and she hasn’t looked back.

Struggling with the everyday wardrobe

Amy says the majority of her clients struggle with the in between, everyday wardrobe. Dressing in yoga pants or for special occasions is easy. Looking pulled together for casual days as a mom and the everyday routine is more of a challenge.  She gives us one of her go-to looks that works for women of all ages and sizes: jeans, white tee and a blazer. Have you tried it?

Appearance isn’t everything

Amy loves to share what she’s working on with her twin girls and enjoys their enthusiasm for passion, but says she also wants them to know appearance isn’t everything and that what’s in  your heart really matters most.

Designate a place for everything

Amy talks about taking the extra time to tidy around the house. Make an effort to designate a place for everything so it’s easier to put things away and also easier to grab when you need it — like a kid’s backpack in the morning! She follows the Marie Kondo method and highly recommends this book, The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up!

When I posted about going through a miscarriage ea When I posted about going through a miscarriage earlier this year, I got an outpouring of messages — so many that it took me a solid 3 days to read through stories that were similar to mine, just so heartbreaking and heavy.

Unfortunately, it’s something that unites more people than you think. 

Most days now are good and happy and I can forget I ever went through that. It can feel like it happened to someone else. But there are also days it’s all I think about and I can’t help but imagine the what-ifs.

If you’re in the same boat, my heart goes out to you. 💕

Life is a crazy ride of ups and downs, but the more we can appreciate the ups, the brighter the day ahead.

I have heard so many good things about @skinbetter and finally jumped in to see what the hype was about. Let me tell you, these have lived up to it and more. 

I absolutely love the AlphaRet Overnight Cream, the InterFuse Eye Cream and the Instant Effect Eye Gel. You guys know I’m a big fan of overnight creams and this one is GOOD. Find it online via @bvirtualhealth ✨ shop.bvirtualhealth.com

Well, there’s no change of shoes for the subway in my case, but I do have a laptop, iPad and gummy bears snuggled inside. 

I also love a good pink moment in my ootd, so if you’re looking for a sweet work wear outfit, let me remind you of the classic blazer / oversized tote combo that never gets old.
