My #1 Fashion Secret Revealed

Meet Ivy of Calvert & Co. Styling

There is something thrilling about having a style secret. The kind that makes people ask, How do you always look so put together, and how do you show up with so much confidence. For a long time, I kept the real answer close. Today, I am finally sharing it.

My number one style secret is a person.

Her name is Ivy, the founder of Calvert and Co. Styling, and she changed everything about how I show up.

The story begins in 2021 when the Instagram algorithm delivered her content onto my feed. I followed quietly for six months. I saved her posts and felt like she was speaking directly to me. Eventually I realized I needed to stop watching from afar and take action. Booking that first session became one of the best investments I have ever made in myself.

We started working together virtually, and even through a screen Ivy made the experience feel personal and encouraging. She helped me understand silhouettes, fit, color, and balance in a way that finally made sense for my body and my life. She taught me how to shop with intention instead of insecurity. She made my closet feel lighter and more functional. When I met her in person on a trip to Nashville in February of 2024, she was even more incredible. The same warmth, the same grounded confidence, the same gift for seeing the best in people.

One moment I will always remember is when she styled me for a black tie event. That dress changed the way I walked into the room. I received compliments all night, but what mattered most was how deeply confident I felt doing my job. I told her afterward that she had a real gift and that she was doing what she was meant to do.

What I love most about Ivy is that she reminds you that style is not about having more. It is about aligning who you are on the inside with how you choose to show up on the outside.

I am grateful the algorithm brought her into my world. Learn more about her work at calvertandcostyling.com and connect with her on Instagram at @calvertandco.styling.
