About this episode

Amy Smilovic is a fashion mathematician of sorts. Through her 27 years as a fashion designer, founder, and creative director at the helm of womenswear brand Tibi, she's built a fool-proof formula for getting dressed every day through what she's coined the the Tibictionary. She's broken down the closet into three parts: Without Fails, Ins and Outs, and Had to Haves, in an effort to categorize our closets in a pragmatic way that makes dressing seamless. In today's episode, Amy and I chat about finding your three personal style words, how organizing your closet by mood is most effective, and the release of Volume 2 of her styling book, The Creative Pragmatist. PS: Have a great Thanksgiving everyone!
