Season 7 Ep 20: Charlie Takes The Closet
This week on Wisdom from the Wardrobe, we’re flipping the script and passing the mic to the next generation! Stacy’s son, Charlie, joins the squad for a fashionable follow-up to a convo we started a few episodes ago. First up, we unpack the TikTok bag buzz—Walmart’s sold-out dupe of the iconic Hermes Birkin. Would you carry it, or is it a faux pas for your wardrobe lineup? Then, we tackle a modern wardrobe philosophy: Charlie’s hot take on designer fashion and styling and why every item in his closet deserves to be on the starting roster. Where, and how he shops for, his must have items that make his wardrobe a true curation of authentic style is music to the team’s ears.
Tune in for a dose of wit, style, and generational fashion wisdom.
Season 7 Ep 19: Closet Confidential
Is gold losing its shine? This week on Wisdom from the Wardrobe, we’re turning up the sparkle with the rise of big, bold silver jewelry—aka "the people’s metal." With whispers of quiet luxury fatigue spreading, it’s no surprise that statement pieces are stealing the spotlight. We dive into why silver is the new go-to for jaw-dropping accessories (hint: it’s easier on the wallet but heavy on the style).
As the new year kicks off, we’re helping you suit up for 2025 with practical tips to refresh your wardrobe without breaking the bank. From rediscovering forgotten gems in your closet to taking a hard look at each piece and asking, "Do I still love this?" we’ve got the tools to ensure you feel like a million bucks—even if your accessories say silver.
Tune in for a conversation full of style wisdom, a dash of sparkle, and plenty of wit. Let’s make 2025 your most stylish year yet! Happy listening.

(Spoiler: some of these picks will make you want to update your denim game ASAP!)

From the understated elegance of Quiet Luxury to Stacy’s unapologetic love of bold colors and color clashes, we dissect what worked and what didn’t. Let’s not forget the “mob wife” aesthetic, with its audacious accessories that made a scene in the best way possible.

Season 7 Ep 17: Regal Finds & Label Letdowns
This week on Wisdom from the Wardrobe, our sassy, stylish sirens—sans Bruce—take the mic to talk all things fashion, frocks, and frenzied opinions. We start with a royal revelation straight out of style history: one of Queen Elizabeth II's bridesmaid dresses by Norman Hartnell has resurfaced, and it’s as dreamy as tulle can be. Will it end up in a museum or a style exhibit? We’re all ears.
Then, we dive headfirst into a fiery New York Times opinion piece, “Vuitton, Chanel—Who Cares? Prices and Quality Are Killing Brands.” Are heritage labels losing their lustrous luster? Is the sparkle fading beneath the luxury facade? It’s a chat that will have you rethinking the labels you love.
Join us for an episode packed with regal revelations, luxury lamentations, and, as always, a touch of fashionable sass. Happy Listening!
