Episode Description from the Publisher

If you&#39;ve ever wanted to channel your inner maximalist but didn&#39;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&#39;s fun but still office appropriate.
