You know the pieces—the ones that fit, you kind of like, but never quite make it into your regular rotation.Sarah and Tami break down practical, real-life strategies to help you finally make decisions about these lingering items. From doing a “test run” outfit and wearing it out into the world, to pairing maybes with your tried-and-true staples, they share simple ways to figure out whether something truly works for you—or if it’s time to let it go.They also dive into the deeper reasons behind why certain pieces stay unworn, like redundancy in your closet, items that don’t fit your lifestyle, or pieces that are simply too difficult to style. Along the way, they explore how personal “uniforms” shape what we actually wear, why buying more items to make one piece work can backfire, and how to use tools like Pinterest for fresh styling ideas.This episode is full of relatable moments, honest insights, and a little tough love when it comes to editing your wardrobe. If you’ve ever stood in front of your closet feeling overwhelmed by options you don’t even wear, this conversation will help you create clarity, free up space, and build a closet filled with pieces you genuinely love.Because at the end of the day, your wardrobe should feel like a “heck yes”—not a pile of maybes.Tami's IG: https://www.instagram.com/stories/tami_sofia/Sarah's IG: https://www.instagram.com/sarahlillerstyling/

In this episode of the Style Chat Podcast, stylists Sarah Liller and Tami DeLami take you behind the scenes of their careers and share how they each found their way into the world of fashion and styling. If you’ve ever wondered how someone actually becomes a stylist—or if it’s something you’re “born with” versus something you can learn—this conversation offers an honest and personal look.From childhood memories of dressing Barbies and obsessing over outfits to early experiences with shopping, sewing, thrifting, and design, Sarah and Tami reflect on the moments that shaped their love of fashion long before it became a career. They also share the winding, non-linear paths that led them to styling professionally—from fashion design and wardrobe work to building their own businesses and working with private clients.Along the way, they talk about the difference between knowing how to dress yourself versus knowing how to style someone else, why creativity can’t fully be taught, and the “spidey sense” stylists develop over time when it comes to seeing outfits, proportions, and potential in a single piece of clothing. They also touch on the role of experience, intuition, and lifelong exposure to art, color, and design in shaping their expertise.This episode is equal parts story, insight, and validation for anyone who has ever felt drawn to style in a deeper way. Whether you’re curious about becoming a stylist or simply want to understand what goes into great personal style, this conversation gives you a new appreciation for the skill, creativity, and instinct behind it.https://www.instagram.com/sarahlillerstyling/https://www.instagram.com/tami_sofia/
