Ever stood in front of a full closet and felt like you had nothing to wear? Same. And I’m sure everyone listening has had that moment! This week I’m joined by Kira Mackenzie, CMO of MPH Beauty, who sold her entire wardrobe and started over from scratch. After two kids and a career shift, Kira realized her closet no longer reflected who she was, so she tried on every single piece and let go of anything that didn’t feel like her, (spoiler: it ended up being her entire closet!). We compare notes on our own closet clean-outs, from the first step to the hardest pieces to let go of. Kira also shares how she worked with her stylist, Zoe Stewart, to rebuild her wardrobe piece by piece, and how she shops now. Plus, she breaks down the archetype exercise that changed not just how she gets dressed, but how she shows up in the world.

Fall is officially here (even in LA), and this month's solo episode is all about getting dressed for it. I'm answering your questions on everything from figuring out your proportions to finding the right skirt for your body, plus how I stay warm without feeling like a marshmallow. We start with proportions: the simple at-home test I use to understand my torso, why getting your measurements taken will change your life, and why I think we should reframe proportions as balance. From there, we get into my undying love for the skirt, inspired by Mrs. Prada's all-skirt collection at Milan Fashion Week, and how to find the one that works for you. I also share my smartest layering tricks for fall and winter, my go-to loafers and boots, why I've been ignoring trends and paying attention to styling instead, and the outfit formulas I lean on for a fall or winter cocktail party.

Fresh off the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in Los Angeles, I'm sitting on my closet floor (still in full glam!) to unpack everything that went down. From Kylie Jenner's $50 million Fantasy Bra and the return of the OG Angels to the incredible performances, surprise celebrity sightings, and the moments that made me emotional, we're getting into it all. I'm also diving into the Adam Selman effect, why I think he's one of the most interesting creative directors in fashion right now, and how Victoria's Secret is balancing nostalgia with a new generation of Angels. Plus, my thoughts on the PINK runway, the growing obsession with vintage Victoria's Secret dresses, and whether this whole spectacle actually makes us want to shop the brand again.

Is your wardrobe a want, a need, or an investment? Haley Sacks, aka Mrs. Dow Jones, makes the case that the clothes are never the investment. The investment is you in the clothes. Haley shares how to love fashion and still be smart with money. She explains how she applies the 50/30/20 budget to clothes, how freelancers can budget without a steady paycheck, and why a first corporate wardrobe counts as a real need. She walks through the trend cycle from the runway to fast-fashion dupes and gives her three tips for shopping with intention. She also gets candid about the Chanel bag and Birkin she bought expecting them to hold their value, and what actually happens at resale. Plus, Haley breaks down cost per wear vs. girl math, why buy now, pay later is a trap, and why women should never hand off control of their finances. In this episode, we get into: The 50/30/20 budget and where clothes actually fallHow to budget for fashion as a freelancer, including setting aside money for taxesWhen a work wardrobe is a need, and why it's an investment in "future you"The fashion trend cycle, from runway to influencers to fast-fashion dupesHaley's tips for smarter shopping: audit your closet, know your goals, price check, shop secondhand, and return what you won't wearThe three-day rule before buying anythingWhy Birkins and luxury handbags aren't investmentsWork wardrobe essentialsCost per wear vs. girl math, and why the "bad with money" stereotype hurts womenWhy buy now, pay later and splitting purchases are trapsHaley's best closet investment - the Dries Van Noten dress she's worn to 12 weddings Thank you to our sponsor @macys #PaidPartner Shop Now at https://www.macys.com/shop/new-trending?id=342756 Haley Sacks Instagram: www.instagram.com/mrsdowjones Website: www.mrsdowjones.com Let’s Get Dressed YouTube: www.youtube.com/@livvperez Instagram: www.instagram.com/letsgetdressedpod Newsletter: https://substack.com/@livvperez Liv Perez Instagram: www.instagram.com/livvperez TikTok: www.tiktok.com/livv.perez ShopMy: https://shopmy.us/livvperez Let’s Get Dressed YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@livvperez Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/letsgetdressedpod/ Newsletter: https://substack.com/@livvperez Liv Perez  Instagram: www.instagram.com/livvperez TikTok: www.tiktok.com/livv.perez ShopMy: https://shopmy.us/livvperez Hosted on Acast.

If you've ever wanted to channel your inner maximalist but didn't know where to start, this episode is for you. Style creator Julia Berolzheimer joins us to break down polished maximalism, her signature mix of color on color and print on print, and how to wear it so it feels refined, not over the top. We get into her formula for mixing prints: start with one statement piece, pay attention to texture, and find a single thread of a shared shade to tie it all together (plus why a stripe pairs with almost any print). We talk about why she invests in statements and saves on staples, how to test a bold piece at a lower price before you splurge, and the closet clean-out habit that helped her define her style. We also get into why the funky bag is always the outfit maker, how she vets Etsy sellers for one-of-a-kind finds, and how to build a work wardrobe that's fun but still office appropriate. Shop Julia's closet here: https://shopmy.us/shop/juliaberolzheimer?tab=latest In this episode, we get into: What "polished maximalism" actually means, and how Julia layers color, print, and embellishment, then pulls back just enoughHow her style evolved from college-era Topshop and Gal Meets Glam Collection to a funkier, less "sweet" point of view in her 30sSpotting patterns when you clean out your closet so you stop re-buying things you never wearHow Julia mood boards for trips, seasons, and even her home, and why a mood board should be inspiration, not recreationWhy interiors are some of her best sources of outfit inspirationMixing prints without rules: starting with one piece, paying attention to texture, and why stripes pair with almost anythingJewelry as the connector that pulls a maximalist outfit togetherWhy she ignores the "no more than three colors" ruleHer one real rule: invest in statements, save on staplesFinding your "outfit maker" pieces, and testing a statement at a lower price point before you splurgeHow Julia shops Etsy, from keyword searches to vetting sellersHer daily shopping rounds, the brands she loves for color and print right now, and why personality dressing is back for fallReceipts: the most expensive thing Julia has ever bought How she hunts for vintage jewelry at auctionAnd how to building a work wardrobe that's fun but still office-appropriate Thank you to our sponsor @macys #PaidPartner Shop Now at https://www.macys.com/shop/new-trending?id=342756 Julia Berolzheimer Instagram: www.instagram.com/juliaberolzheimer Newsletter + Website: coreli.ai/juliaberolzheimer Let’s Get Dressed YouTube: www.youtube.com/@livvperez Instagram: www.instagram.com/letsgetdressedpod Newsletter: https://substack.com/@livvperez Liv Perez Instagram: www.instagram.com/livvperez TikTok: www.tiktok.com/livv.perez ShopMy: https://shopmy.us/livvperez Let’s Get Dressed YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@livvperez Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/letsgetdressedpod/ Newsletter: https://substack.com/@livvperez Liv Perez  Instagram: www.instagram.com/livvperez TikTok: www.tiktok.com/livv.perez ShopMy: https://shopmy.us/livvperez Hosted on Acast.

We get into how to actually land a Fashion Week invite as a creative, what to wear to your first job in corporate fashion, and at-home hand-wash strategy I've been using to avoid the dry cleaner. We also get into how to keep your clothes shed-free if you live with a dog, the best coats and jackets to buy for fall (starting with the perfect ME+EM black jacket everyone needs), the designer canvas tote that isn't Dior, and what to wear on a date night.

Linoy Friedman, AKA What People Are Wearing breaks down the trends she spotted at New York Fashion Week. We get into the pop of red moment taking over street style (and how to actually find your shade), the sweater-tied-around-the-waist trick that's secretly a styling hack and not a trend at all, the return of statement necklaces and brooches as finishing touches, and the 3D texture -- fringe, feathers, pom-poms -- showing up on everything this season. We talk about why over-logoing an outfit is the fastest way to lose it, why "wear the trend, don't let the trend wear you" is the only rule either of us follows anymore, and her theory on which trends are actually worth buying into versus styling with what's already in your closet. We also get into her favorite shows of the week, the jeans and tees she and Liv actually reach for on repeat, and what she'd wear to a 30th birthday dinner if she wanted to feel elevated without trying too hard. Get your notes app ready, because this is going to be an episode you want to take note and shop! In this episode, we get into: How Linoy built What People Are Wearing into one of the most trusted street style accounts, and what she's actually looking for when she's clocking outfits in real timeThe biggest trends she spotted on the ground this Fashion Week, from a full-red moment to color blocking to 3D texture (fringe, feathers, pom-poms) showing up everywhereThe sweater-around-the-waist trick that's secretly a styling hack, not a trend, and why she thinks the best trends are the ones already sitting in your closetThe vintage-earring-on-a-vest moment that went viral on her account, and why she thinks brooches and statement necklaces are having a real comebackHer rule for wearing red without it looking try-hard, and why the right shoe is the easiest way to bring color into a wardrobeHer take on why over-logoing an outfit "loses the story," and the one styling sin she thinks should be illegal (branded caps)Her favorite shows of the week, including Magda Butrym's rose-covered runway and Rachel Scott's Proenza Schouler show, and why she can't stop thinking about eitherThe jeans, tees, and jewelry she and Liv actually rebuy on repeat, from Levi's 501s to vintage YSL to her grandmother's 14 karatsWhat she'd wear to a 30th birthday dinner in New York if she wanted to feel fun, elevated, and not too young Thank you to our sponsor @macys #PaidPartner Shop Now at https://www.macys.com/shop/new-trending?id=342756 Linoy Friedman  Instagram: www.instagram.com/whatpeoplearewearing Newsletter: https://whatpeoplearewearing.substack.com/ Let’s Get Dressed YouTube: www.youtube.com/@livvperez Instagram: www.instagram.com/letsgetdressedpod Newsletter: https://substack.com/@livvperez Liv Perez  Instagram: www.instagram.com/livvperez TikTok: www.tiktok.com/livv.perez ShopMy: https://shopmy.us/livvperez Let’s Get Dressed YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@livvperez Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/letsgetdressedpod/ Newsletter: https://substack.com/@livvperez Liv Perez  Instagram: www.instagram.com/livvperez TikTok: www.tiktok.com/livv.perez ShopMy: https://shopmy.us/livvperez Hosted on Acast.

Welcome to the first episode of Undressed, a new short-form series where I’m giving you my unfiltered take on what I’m seeing, loving, thinking about, and taking away from the fashion world in real time. For my first debrief, we’re talking New York Fashion Week — my 18th one! I’m getting into the shows I loved, the pieces already on my shopping list, why fashion feels especially exciting right now, and what this season made me realize about my own personal style. Plus, I’m sharing how I actually look at a runway show beyond the still images: the references, music, venue, show notes, and all the context that can completely change how you experience a collection.

If you've ever been told there's no clear path for the career you want, this episode is proof you can build the path yourself. Kyle Smith joins us as the NFL's first-ever fashion editor, a role that didn't exist until he created it. We get into how a scrappy Instagram account he ran during COVID, just posting tunnel fits for fun, became his literal proof of concept and landed him back at the league in a job title no one had held before. We talk about taking Joe Burrow to Paris for his first-ever trip outside the country and putting him in a backless Peter Do suit for Vogue World, a moment that generated $22 million in paid media value, why Hermès has quietly become an unofficial partner of the NFL tunnel, and his theory on why athletes, not influencers, are becoming fashion's most trusted tastemakers. We also get into his "what rooms do you want to be in" framework for getting dressed with intention, and his advice for anyone trying to build a career in a lane that doesn't exist yet. In this episode, we get into: How Kyle became the NFL's first-ever fashion editor, and how a proof-of-concept Instagram account he ran during COVID turned into a job that didn't exist before he pitched for itHis path from working under celebrity stylist Karla Welch, to styling NFL Network hosts, to building the league's entire fashion strategy from the ground upThe story behind Joe Burrow's viral backless Peter Do suit at Vogue World Paris, and how the moment generated $22 million in paid media valueWhy Hermès has become an unofficial partner of the NFL tunnel, from Saquon Barkley's shadow Birkin to custom Bengals-orange bags for Joe BurrowHis theory on why athletes, not influencers, are becoming fashion's most trusted tastemakers, and what that means for how brands think about visibilityThe "what rooms do you want to be in" framework he uses with players (and the rest of us) to make getting dressed intentional instead of reactiveHis advice for anyone trying to build a career in a space that doesn't have a clear path yet, no permission requiredWhat to actually wear to a football game, from suite dressing to jewelry to his favorite NFL x Abercrombie merchThe NFL players he's watching this season for the best tunnel style.

This is the last episode of our August hiatus, and we wanted to close it out with one of the most inspiring conversations from the past year. Heading into a new season felt like the right time to revisit Julie Wainwright's story — about reinvention, building something from scratch, and trusting yourself when the path isn't obvious. We're back with brand new episodes next week! From shuttering a business to billion-dollar success, Julie Wainwright is a serial entrepreneur who's seen it all. After serving as CEO of Pets.com and experiencing its collapse during the dot-com crash, Julie reinvented herself and went on to build The RealReal, the luxury resale platform that revolutionized the industry. In this episode, Julie opens up about how she turned a setback into her biggest company yet, the innovations that set The RealReal apart, and the powerful lessons she's learned as a woman navigating the business world.

We're off for our August hiatus, but we couldn't go quiet without re-sharing one of our favorite conversations from the past year. As we head into a new season — both literally and personally — this conversation about finding your style through life's shifts felt like the right one to revisit. What happens when your body, your life, or your routine changes, and suddenly nothing in your closet feels like you anymore? In this week's episode, Liv sits down with stylist and author Allison Bornstein to talk about finding your style again through life's shifts: pregnancy, postpartum, new jobs, breakups, or just new eras. They chat about making peace with your closet, letting go of the clothes that "ask too much" of you, and learning how to dress for the person you are right now vs the person your clothes could hold you to be. Allison shares her signature Three-Word Method, tips for rebuilding confidence when your body changes, and why the goal isn't a perfect wardrobe, but a kinder relationship with the one you already have.

We're off for our August hiatus, but we couldn't go quiet without re-sharing one of our favorite conversations from the past year. After last week's closet cleanout episode, this one felt like the perfect follow-up — because once you've edited your wardrobe down, the next question is how to actually take care of what's left. Have you ever wondered where all the red carpet gowns go when the night is over? Meet Julie Ann Clauss, the founder and head archivist of The Wardrobe, a fashion archive based in Los Angeles and home to the wardrobes of Chloe Sevigny and some of our favorites celebs. After getting her masters at FIT in Fashion History, Julie Ann was poached by Tom Ford to create his archive, and then went on to create the archives of Jason Wu, Carolina Herrera, Proenza Schouler, Ralph Lauren, and many more. In today's episode, Julie Ann walks us through the art of archiving, her best preservation tips, and what she thinks will be most collectable from 2025. Special thanks to today’s sponsor Aerie!

We're off for our August hiatus, but we couldn't go quiet without re-sharing one of our favorite conversations from the past year. If you've been reaching for the same sunscreen and calling it a day, this episode will change how you think about sun protection — and your summer wardrobe. I’m joined by one of my oldest friends, Emma Gerber, who just so happens to be building one of the most exciting brands in the suncare space. Claudent is designing stylish, elevated UPF 50+ clothing that not only protects your skin but makes you want to wear sun-safe looks every day. We talk about the science behind UPF fabric, why most “sun-protective” clothes wash out after a few cycles, and how her brand is redefining fashion-meets-function.

If you have ever stood in a closet full of clothes and thought "I have nothing to wear," this episode is for you. It's our last solo episode before we head off for summer break, and I'm unpacking what I'm calling my biggest style growth spurt in years. It didn't come from one purchase or one outfit, it came from a full mental shift in how I think about getting dressed every day, treating my personal style with the same care I give my physical and mental wellness. I get into the wardrobe reset that came out of it, the "wardrobe rage" phenomenon Maggie Sellers coined on her podcast Hot Smart Rich (Did you know on average women lose 119 days of their careers just getting dressed?!), and the quarterly system I now swear by to keep my closet and my mornings actually working for me. Plus, a full Q&A covering monthly clothing budgets, what to do with a former "it" item you've fallen out of love with, and what to wear to the beach if shorts just aren't your thing. Consider this your cheat code to stop losing 10 minutes every morning to a pile of clothes on the floor.
