1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,880
Speaker 1: This podcast is recorded on gadigal Land Always was, Always

2
00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:14,120
Speaker 1: will be Aboriginal Land Paychecks. I'm Al and I'm Zal

3
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:15,960
Speaker 1: and this is two broat chicks to show that she

4
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:18,560
Speaker 1: has life lessons and tips to help make you rich

5
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:21,960
Speaker 1: in life. And today we're chatting how to elevate your

6
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 1: look and your style for when you feel that you

7
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:29,760
Speaker 1: have in quotes, nothing to wear, which been there. So

8
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:33,520
Speaker 1: we're going to talk all the ways that don't necessarily

9
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 1: cost you more money that you can kind of have

10
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:38,200
Speaker 1: a little bit of a rebrand or refresh your look,

11
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 1: your style, and even shop your wardrobe, which I think

12
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:44,240
Speaker 1: we forget. I've been talking to a lot of people

13
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:46,240
Speaker 1: lately that have been going through a bit of a

14
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 1: style evolution, trying to find their look or their uniform

15
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 1: as they say, as it were. That, Yeah, we thought

16
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 1: it was time to do an episode on this because

17
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 1: we definitely get a lot of questions about how to

18
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 1: not only your style, but how to elevate it.

19
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 2: Especially if you feel like you're just wearing the same

20
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 2: things over and over and that's not fulfilling to you exactly.

21
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 1: But before we get into it, sal what is your

22
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 1: obsession of the week.

23
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 2: My obsession of the week is the Lelo and Stitch

24
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 2: live action. So we went to the movies and saw

25
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 2: this together, and I am typically a I don't know.

26
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 3: I have feelings about live action remakes of Disney movies.

27
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 3: Some of them I absolutely love. Some of them I

28
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 3: do think have been a bit of a miss.

29
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 2: And I do think that the Lelo and Stitch remake

30
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:40,320
Speaker 2: is a success.

31
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: I really enjoyed it.

32
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:46,479
Speaker 2: I think because they kept it pretty close to the

33
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 2: original storyline. They didn't diverge too much from that, so

34
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 2: it still had a lot of the same humor and

35
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 2: magic and whimsy that we all know and love from

36
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 2: the original.

37
00:01:57,800 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 3: And obviously it was shot.

38
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 2: In hall where the movie is based, and it was

39
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 2: so beautiful.

40
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 1: Yeah.

41
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 2: So I definitely think that's an easy watch for your

42
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 2: next date.

43
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:09,920
Speaker 3: Night or like chick flicks with your friends.

44
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 1: Who what would you give it out of ten?

45
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 3: Out of ten? I would give it a solid seven

46
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 3: and a half.

47
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,919
Speaker 1: That is a good rating. Wow, I think it was

48
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,920
Speaker 1: pretty good. Yeah, Okay, my obsession of the week, all right,

49
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 1: My obsession of the week is shopping for fun aka

50
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 1: the shoppies. Oh yeah, yes, so I know we've also

51
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,920
Speaker 1: just said this episode is not about going shopping, but

52
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 1: this is my obsession. It's their friend. It's fine, okay,

53
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:41,639
Speaker 1: let me have a think. So I came across is

54
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 1: from a TikTok that was referencing a Mary Claire podcast

55
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: where the host said the urge to go shopping should

56
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 1: be called the shoppies. I like that.

57
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 3: I think it's cute.

58
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 1: I love this. We need to rebrand that urge to

59
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,920
Speaker 1: go shopping as I've got the shoppies. Yeah, it's like

60
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 1: the Zoomies, but for shopping specifically. And then I was thinking,

61
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 1: where do people get the shoppies? What stores give you

62
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:15,800
Speaker 1: the shoppies the most? It's over lists Number one Aldi

63
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 1: specifically the special Buyers. Yeah, that middle section, but also

64
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 1: some of their lollies, like the hot chocolates and the biscuits. Ye,

65
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 1: the shoppies. Another one the Reject Shop. The Reject Shop

66
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 1: has been slaying in their home Whar's department lately, also

67
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 1: in their lollies, and also in their beauty section. They

68
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 1: have like Bondai sands tan for like ten Bucks Chemist Warehouse.

69
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 2: Definitely the shoppy yellow tickets send me into a frenzy.

70
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: This one potentially the most detrimental the minis section of

71
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: Sephora and Mecca. Yeah, that is peak shoppies. Definitely peak

72
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: shoppies and last, but not least, at number one of

73
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: shops that give you the shoppies. Do you want to guess?

74
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 3: Should we do the three two one?

75
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: Okay? Ready? Three two one kmart?

76
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 3: Obviously?

77
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 1: Yeah? You walk into cam up for one thing, you

78
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 1: walk out with ten and you're like, how do we

79
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 1: get here? You blackout? That's not your fault because you

80
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:16,160
Speaker 1: know what you had, the shoppies. Yeah. And on that note,

81
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,159
Speaker 1: let's get into how to elevate your wardrobe on a

82
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:26,599
Speaker 1: budge wort whish Okay.

83
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:27,039
Speaker 2: So.

84
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 1: According to a twenty twenty four report by at home

85
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 1: styling service stitch Fix, over half of their clients said

86
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 1: they felt mentally overwhelmed or stressed by deciding what to wear.

87
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 1: Andrew Chiong explores why we feel this way in her

88
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:45,159
Speaker 1: recent book Why Don't I Have Anything to Wear? Which

89
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:49,600
Speaker 1: this is on my TBR Immediately it ultimately traces back

90
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 1: to how we think about shopping. She says, I think

91
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:55,160
Speaker 1: we struggle because we have so many options, but we

92
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:58,160
Speaker 1: didn't really know where to begin, she told Refinery twenty

93
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 1: nine in an interview in the Kind in this a

94
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 1: most respectful way, I don't think most people actually know

95
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 1: how to shop for fashion. We weren't taught how. Additionally,

96
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 1: it was reported that a recent study found that sixty

97
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 1: one percent of Americans admitted to struggling to find something

98
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:20,039
Speaker 1: to wear even with a full closet, and the average

99
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 1: person experiences wardrobe panic thirty six times per year. I

100
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 1: would per week. I would go as fard to say

101
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,719
Speaker 1: that I experienced wardrobe panic thirty six times per month,

102
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:37,480
Speaker 1: and I'm aware that there's predominantly thirty to thirty one

103
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 1: days in a month. I say what I say, Yeah,

104
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 1: the math is mathing. So we're going to break down

105
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: our tips on how to get out of the headspace

106
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 1: if I have nothing to wear and elevate your style,

107
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 1: your look, and your wardrobe in a budget friendly way.

108
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 1: Number one document, Document document. If you always feel like

109
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 1: you have nothing to wear, look again. According to Levi's

110
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 1: industry research, thirty percent of Ossie's currently own between fifty

111
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 1: to one hundred and fifty pieces of clothing. Of all

112
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:14,799
Speaker 1: the clothes we own, only fifty five percent are being

113
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 1: worn regularly. That means nearly half of Australian's wardrobes are

114
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 1: going unworn. So it just like makes me think of

115
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 1: all the times you go into your wardrobe and I

116
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 1: think this is probably one of the most relatable things

117
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 1: ever and you find something down behind like your draws

118
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 1: or under your bed and you're like, oh my god,

119
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 1: I even had that. Yeah, he's out of sight, out

120
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:41,720
Speaker 1: of mind, or you know, you put it under your

121
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:43,919
Speaker 1: bed because it's in the winter wardrobe and then you

122
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 1: pull it out and you're.

123
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 3: Like, oh, I forgot about that.

124
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:50,160
Speaker 1: Yeah. And so the key here is simple, and it

125
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,720
Speaker 1: is to document your wardrobe. So Andrea Chiong in her

126
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 1: book Why Don't I Have Anything to Wear starts her

127
00:06:56,279 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 1: book with a wardrobe audit, and this makes complete sense.

128
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:04,040
Speaker 1: It's to help you figure out what clothes you own

129
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 1: and what clothes you actually like to wear, because oftentimes

130
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 1: we hang on to clothes for oh, maybe i'll wear

131
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 1: this to a wedding. There's no wedding. You're not invited

132
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 1: to a wedding.

133
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 3: The wedding doesn't exist, the phantom wedding.

134
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, or I'll wear this where my body changes, you know,

135
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 1: and there's the term, you know, skinny clothes that we

136
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 1: hang on or I'll wear these want to lose weight,

137
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 1: and you know they're just a dirty reminder of making

138
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 1: you feel bad about yourself. And more importantly, this wardrobe

139
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 1: audit is about finding the clothes that you don't wear

140
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 1: and then analyzing it and whether they're from rear con

141
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 1: retailers or certain styles or certain colors, and finding the

142
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: similarities in the wardrobe udit of what you like and

143
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 1: what you don't like. And she continues to say, anytime

144
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 1: you're leaving the house, to take a photo in the mirror,

145
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 1: save it on your phone, and once you've got about

146
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 1: eight outfits, that's your capsule wardrobe. Count how many times

147
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 1: you can mix a match from what you already have.

148
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 1: I love this idea, but the one thing that I

149
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 1: think is difficult with that is a girl's photo album

150
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 1: is already a crazy place. Yes, you know, literally, whenever

151
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 1: I'm trying to find a photo in my photo album,

152
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 1: I can never find the photo on my photo album.

153
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 1: So this is where we have an app recommendation to

154
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 1: document your wardrobe so that you always have something to

155
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:36,080
Speaker 1: wear and you never have nothing to wear. And it's

156
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 1: called the Wearing app. We were introduced to this about

157
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 1: a year ago when we had Gem Diamond on the show,

158
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:45,680
Speaker 1: and it's spelled wh e RNG And it is like

159
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 1: the Hannah Montana wardrobe, the Clueless Share wardrobe, where you

160
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 1: basically put your wardrobe, scan it, take photos, pull it

161
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 1: from the internet image and put it into the app,

162
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:03,199
Speaker 1: and you basically have a digital wardrobe to choose from. Yeah,

163
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 1: and what you can do with this is not only

164
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 1: does it save outfits that you like, but it helps

165
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 1: to generate future outfit ideas for you with the randomized

166
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:16,079
Speaker 1: feature that you can put in top bottom shoes. Click

167
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 1: random and it'll scroll through. And if you don't like

168
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 1: the shoes, you can keep changing it. If you want

169
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 1: it to be a dressed instead, you can change it

170
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 1: to one item and scroll through. And this app is

171
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 1: not only great for every day but great for traveling.

172
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,320
Speaker 1: Yeah amazing. I use this every day in Europe to

173
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 1: be like, what's in my suitcase? Yeah?

174
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 2: And it also means that you're only packing things that

175
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 2: will work together and that you will wear.

176
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, You're not going to be like, what's this random too?

177
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 3: Too doing?

178
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 1: In here? I can't go with anything else one hundred percent.

179
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 1: And you can create looks and so you put certain

180
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:51,679
Speaker 1: items together like those looks on Pinterest, and yeah, I

181
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 1: love it. And it's also free and it's really fun.

182
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 1: It's so file like.

183
00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 3: Yes, it's practical, but it's also really fun.

184
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 1: And it all means you're going to outfit repeat more

185
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:05,720
Speaker 1: without feeling like you're outfit repeating.

186
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, And there is still a stigma around outfit repeating.

187
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:16,079
Speaker 2: Forty one percent of women aged between eighteen and twenty

188
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,559
Speaker 2: five feel pressure to wear a different outfit every time

189
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 2: they go out, so on average, clothes are only worn

190
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:30,560
Speaker 2: seven to ten times before they're discarded. What yeah, oh yeah,

191
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 2: And this mindset is definitely influenced by capitalism, like, yeah,

192
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 2: there is no reason why we shouldn't be rewaring our clothes.

193
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 2: This is a mindset that we have been taught that

194
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:52,560
Speaker 2: if you do rewar the same outfit over and over again,

195
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 2: it's embarrassing. Maybe you don't have enough money to buy

196
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 2: something new, or you're not.

197
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 3: In fashion, you're not on top of the latest trends.

198
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 2: These are all pieces of propaganda to make us buy

199
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:03,199
Speaker 2: more clothes.

200
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 1: Absolutely, and Jolly Malcolm, who is just a fashion icon

201
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 1: and icon in general, we had her on the show

202
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 1: at the start of the year, talking about how to

203
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:13,960
Speaker 1: be stylish instead of trendy. She actually uploaded a TikTok

204
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 1: where she was at a work event and someone had

205
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 1: come up to her and was like, Oh, you were

206
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 1: wearing that last time I saw you, And she called

207
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 1: it out and was like, Oh, we're really still in

208
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 1: the age where we're not re wearing our clothes. And

209
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 1: I also think what really changed my perspective on this

210
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 1: growing up because in my early twenties, absolutely I had

211
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 1: the same thing of being like, but I wore this

212
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 1: to Sarah's party, so I can't wear this to Britney's,

213
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 1: you know. And again it is this like insecurity that

214
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 1: gets pushed to women, especially being like they all know

215
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 1: you're a failure and you're ugly if you don't wear

216
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 1: sa there. Yeah. But then I also think, and this

217
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 1: is a great way to kind of restructure it in

218
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 1: your brain if you do feel a little bit of

219
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:04,439
Speaker 1: insecurity or nervousness to re wear certain things, is that

220
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 1: you're not re wearing an outfit it's iconic. Like think

221
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 1: of Penny Lane, Yeah, and how she has a jacket,

222
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 1: Like when you think about like really iconic characters. They

223
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,680
Speaker 1: have their uniform, they have their look, and that is

224
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 1: why I love rewaring it because I'm like, yeah, that's

225
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 1: my blazer that I wear literally every fucking day.

226
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's my style uniform.

227
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:29,439
Speaker 1: That's my coat, that's my thing that I'm like, yeah,

228
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 1: that's my character default. Yeah.

229
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 2: I love that because I do think that romanticizing it

230
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 2: and thinking about it in that positive way is how

231
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:42,079
Speaker 2: we can combat this otherwise negative connotation that we have

232
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 2: been taught around rewaring our clothes, because in another study,

233
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 2: also by stitch Fix, they found that forty four percent

234
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 2: of people say they tire of their clothes just after

235
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 2: six wears.

236
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 1: Like this is why people need to buy vintage, because

237
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 1: you you love it so much more if you can't

238
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 1: get it again. Yeah you know what I mean?

239
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, so true, Like you you can't, you don't have

240
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:09,199
Speaker 2: that same sense.

241
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 3: Of like that it's replaceable because it's not.

242
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:13,719
Speaker 2: Like you won't be able to find anything more. And

243
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 2: also took a little bit more effort. Yeah, you might

244
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 2: have more of memory and nostalgia associated with it, but

245
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 2: as well, often we're not re wearing clothes in our

246
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:27,839
Speaker 2: wardrobes because we don't identify with them anymore.

247
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 3: According to fashion.

248
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 2: Psychologist Sequela Forbes Bell, we can categorize our clothes into

249
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:39,560
Speaker 2: three main types in our wardrobe. So the first type

250
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 2: continuing identity. These are the clothes that relate to our

251
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 2: current self. The second one transitional identity. These are the

252
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 2: clothes that bridge the gap between who we are and

253
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 2: who we want to be.

254
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 3: And then the third category.

255
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 2: Is discontinued identity, and these are the clothes that no

256
00:13:56,840 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 2: longer represent who we are, which I also think could

257
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:03,959
Speaker 2: be a helpful way to categorize your clothes when you're

258
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 2: doing the order that you mentioned before, because I think

259
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:11,960
Speaker 2: that the majority of our clothes should represent that first category,

260
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:16,720
Speaker 2: the continuing identity, and that's something that when you do

261
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 2: figure out your personal style won't change too much, and

262
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 2: when you do figure out what your style uniform is

263
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 2: shouldn't change too much. I think it's okay if we

264
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 2: play with trends and get creative and try new things,

265
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 2: but your personal identity and your personal style shouldn't really

266
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 2: be shifting with the seasons. There should be kind of

267
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 2: like a constant through that.

268
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 1: What was the third one called again.

269
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 2: That one is discontinued identity, discontinued identity.

270
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 1: And you know what I think as well, So many

271
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 1: trends would end up in the discontinued identity. And again

272
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 1: it's not necessarily anyone's fault either, because that's what gets

273
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 1: pushed when you look at clean girl, tomato girl, vanilla girl,

274
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 1: espresso hot chocolate sprinkles girl, like, the discontinued identities are

275
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 1: the trend. Yeah, So that's why it's really important to

276
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 1: kind of look at trends and like we said, play

277
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 1: around with them, have fun, but you don't have to

278
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 1: absorb every single new identity that gets pushed.

279
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 2: And I also think it's important to do these audits

280
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 2: because we do change. So even if there was something

281
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 2: that you did relate to genuinely at the time when

282
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 2: you bought it, that's not always going to be the case,

283
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 2: or you might not even need it. Like think about

284
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 2: that pencil skirt you bought for your first corporate job

285
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 2: in twenty seventeen, Like, you can let her go, you

286
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 2: can let her free.

287
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 3: Okay.

288
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 1: Your twenties is when you're supposed to be playing around

289
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 1: with this, you know, your twenties is when you play

290
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 1: around with fashion and what you like and what you

291
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 1: don't like and the things that I was wearing when

292
00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 1: I was twenty is absolutely not the things that I'm

293
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 1: wearing now. Like, my fashion evolution and my style identity

294
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 1: has evolved and grown up with me as I've grown up,

295
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 1: you know, and that's okay for that to change, exactly.

296
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 2: But I do think that you know, for you or

297
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 2: for us, and for a lot of people, like your

298
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 2: style personality has been consistent for the last you know,

299
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 2: like five to six years, and so it's once you've

300
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 2: become familiar with who that person is and what you

301
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 2: want to represent with your fashion, then that's when you

302
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 2: have the confidence to rewear your outfits. The truth is,

303
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 2: when you re wear your outfits, no one cares, No

304
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 2: one notices, and if they do, it's a reflection on them,

305
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 2: not on you. And also, re wearing your clothes is fun.

306
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 1: I was just about to say, I think people are

307
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 1: happier when they re wear their clothes. I've got no

308
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 1: scientific statistic to back it up, but I think if

309
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 1: you can get a dopamine hit from re wearing your

310
00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 1: clothes rather than buying a new outfit, you're ahead of

311
00:16:59,520 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 1: the game.

312
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly.

313
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 2: And it challenges you to actually be a bit more

314
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 2: creative and shop within your wardrobe and restyle things. And

315
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:10,159
Speaker 2: there was a quote that I really loved. This is

316
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 2: from Lauren Bravo, and she writes in How to Break

317
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 2: Up with Fast Fashion about outfit repeating and shopping from

318
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:20,440
Speaker 2: within your wardrobe. Think of it like a Ready Steady

319
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 2: Cook bag of clothes. When we're forced to limit ourselves

320
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 2: to the same outfits, we get more imaginative and that

321
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 2: creativity is satisfying, which in turn helps dampen the urge

322
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 2: to keep shopping.

323
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 3: Who didn't love Ready Steady Cook love?

324
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:41,439
Speaker 1: Yeah? All right, moving on to number two. The reason

325
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:44,680
Speaker 1: you hate your outfit but don't know why is because

326
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 1: you aren't using the rule of thirds. So I didn't

327
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 1: know what this was when I found this in our

328
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:56,439
Speaker 1: research for this episode, but realized I have been doing

329
00:17:56,520 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 1: this and on all the outfits I really like, like that,

330
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:03,880
Speaker 1: I rewear that, I'm like, yep, remember that one pulled

331
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:07,360
Speaker 1: it in the rotation. It follows this rule, And all

332
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 1: the outfits that I've been like, noh, I hate that.

333
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:15,879
Speaker 1: It's because it doesn't. So your outfit isn't styled in halves,

334
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:19,880
Speaker 1: it's styled in thirds, but it's not broken up into

335
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 1: three parts. The outfit becomes more stylish when it's two

336
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 1: thirds verse one third. So your outfit should break either

337
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:33,640
Speaker 1: one third of the way from your head to your

338
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:37,480
Speaker 1: feet or two thirds of the way. So for example,

339
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:42,440
Speaker 1: if you're wearing a pair of jeans and a top,

340
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:46,560
Speaker 1: your blazer is going to take up two thirds of

341
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 1: the outfit. And that's why, like an oversized blazer looks

342
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 1: so stylish because you've got the two thirds versus the

343
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 1: one third, which is like the bottom of your pants

344
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:58,160
Speaker 1: and your shoes. Or you could use this with colors,

345
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:01,120
Speaker 1: so you would have two thirds of your outfit being

346
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 1: one color and one third of your outfit being another color.

347
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 1: Like this could look like an oversized knit with a

348
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 1: maxi skirt that's a different color, or a mini dress

349
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 1: that's taking up two thirds versus a pair of knee

350
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:18,920
Speaker 1: high boots that's taking up one third. And once I

351
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 1: saw the examples of this, I was like, my mind

352
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:26,640
Speaker 1: is blown, and it makes so much sense because you're

353
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 1: not cutting your body in half.

354
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:31,359
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, and it feels more intentional.

355
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:34,520
Speaker 2: I don't know what it is, but it looks like

356
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 2: you've put more effort and you're not just wearing clothes,

357
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 2: but you've styled them, yeah, which I think is part

358
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:41,440
Speaker 2: of the equation here.

359
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 1: Yeah. Or even if you're wearing like a high waisted

360
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 1: pair of pants and then you know you've got like

361
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:49,640
Speaker 1: a little crop tup going on on the top. You've

362
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:51,879
Speaker 1: got the two thirds with the high waisted pants and

363
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:55,480
Speaker 1: the one third with the little top. Yeah. That I'm like, Fuck,

364
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,359
Speaker 1: how did no one tell us this needs me a

365
00:19:58,480 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 1: unit in school?

366
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,119
Speaker 3: Place fractions with this?

367
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 1: Put me in. Put me in the Department of education books.

368
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:09,640
Speaker 1: I've got some thoughts. Moving on to tones and colors,

369
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 1: take us aways out.

370
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 2: I feel like color theory and color analysis has really

371
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:16,159
Speaker 2: been a buzz.

372
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:18,440
Speaker 3: Topic over the last and few years.

373
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:22,680
Speaker 2: While it has been a buzz topics, it is certainly

374
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:28,160
Speaker 2: not new. And colors that look good together is called

375
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 2: color harmony, and complementary colors is something that we talk

376
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:35,200
Speaker 2: about a lot in fashion, and this refers to two

377
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 2: colors that are on opposite sides of the color wheel.

378
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 2: And the reason that complementary colors look so good together

379
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 2: is because because they.

380
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 3: Are on opposite.

381
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,959
Speaker 2: Sides, they provide a high contrast, which makes the colors

382
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:53,200
Speaker 2: look more vibrant, but also then make the compliment each other,

383
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 2: which I think is really interesting. Some examples of complementary

384
00:20:56,960 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 2: colors that you can play with include blue and orange,

385
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:01,679
Speaker 2: red and green.

386
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 3: And also yellow and purple.

387
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 2: Another popular color combination formula is the color triad, and

388
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:12,160
Speaker 2: this involves styling three colors that are evenly spaced on

389
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 2: the color wheel, which can also create a vibrant and

390
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 2: balanced color palette. Maxine Wild is a content creator who

391
00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:23,640
Speaker 2: does this really well. She shares a lot of content

392
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:27,639
Speaker 2: and tutorials on how to use the color wheel to

393
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 2: experiment with different color combinations together. And again, like, I'm

394
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:33,679
Speaker 2: pretty sure I've seen her do like a yellow and

395
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 2: purple and did it incredibly shit.

396
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 1: She did.

397
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:39,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think like a green and a red, which

398
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:42,160
Speaker 2: typically I would have been like, it's giving chrismas.

399
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 3: But definitely check out her content.

400
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,439
Speaker 2: But I do think that color theory and having a

401
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:50,360
Speaker 2: bit of a knowledge of that can help you pull

402
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 2: together pieces in your wardrobe that you may not have

403
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:53,919
Speaker 2: thought went together.

404
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 1: What I really loved about colors when we were doing

405
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:01,879
Speaker 1: the research for this episode was the fact that while

406
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 1: you can combine different colors, you can't combine different tones.

407
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 1: So the number one mistake people are making when they're

408
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 1: experimenting with color and fashion and new styles and they're

409
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 1: trying to elevate their wardrobe is they're mixing the wrong tones.

410
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 1: So while you can mix blue and brown, if they're

411
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:24,919
Speaker 1: not the matching tone, that's why it looks bad. So

412
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:27,880
Speaker 1: let's say, for example, you're wearing an all white outfit,

413
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 1: it needs to be all white warm tones. If you

414
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 1: have warm tones and cool tones, that's where you're getting

415
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:39,639
Speaker 1: a disconnection. And it's the same with even prints. You

416
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:43,160
Speaker 1: can get warm tone leopard print and cool tone leopard print.

417
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:46,119
Speaker 1: And if you're wearing a warm tone leopard print dress

418
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 1: with a cool toned jacket, that's where you're getting a disconnection. Yeah,

419
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 1: And that blew my mind. And when I looked at

420
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:59,359
Speaker 1: my wardrobe, I realized how most of it is warm tone.

421
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:04,200
Speaker 1: And that's in an accident, But it's because I've matched

422
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:05,919
Speaker 1: it all together that I've.

423
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:09,640
Speaker 3: Been like, yeah, you can see the through line.

424
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:14,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, And whenever they haven't, Like whenever I've maybe styled

425
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 1: a red top with a red skirt and I've looked

426
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 1: at it and I've been like, why does this look bad?

427
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 1: And I can't understand why, and you think, oh, they've

428
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 1: got to be the same shade. They don't have to

429
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 1: be the same shade, they have to be the same tone.

430
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, because it's like one of the red pieces could

431
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:33,239
Speaker 2: be throwing a little bit more purply yep blue, and

432
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:35,200
Speaker 2: then the other one is throwing a little bit more

433
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:37,360
Speaker 2: of an orange orange red.

434
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 1: Yeah. Mind blown, mind blown, mind blown, because so often

435
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:43,680
Speaker 1: I was like, you can't even wear the same colors

436
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 1: with the same colors, yeah, because they don't they don't match. Yeah,

437
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:50,119
Speaker 1: but they do match. They just have to be the

438
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 1: same tone.

439
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:51,440
Speaker 3: Yeah.

440
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:53,680
Speaker 1: So if you're a cool tone in your skin girl,

441
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:55,880
Speaker 1: you want to be trying to get colors that are

442
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 1: cool toned so that you can mix and match them

443
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:02,360
Speaker 1: in your wardrobe. If you're a neutral girlie, you can

444
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:05,959
Speaker 1: wear both, but I would highly recommend choosing one because

445
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,399
Speaker 1: that means that your wardrobe is going to be more cohesive.

446
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:11,719
Speaker 1: And if you're a warm term girlly, get warm term clothes.

447
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 1: Love it.

448
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 2: Let's move on to the devil is in the details. Accessorize, bitch.

449
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 3: We're talking.

450
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 2: We're talking belts, jewelry. We're talking belts and jewelry. Your

451
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 2: outfit isn't boring, You're just not accessorizing. Literally, we have

452
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:35,720
Speaker 2: heard this time and time again. I feel like, especially recently,

453
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 2: like this is a mantra. Twenty twenty five is the

454
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 2: year of accessories. Yeah, and it should have always been

455
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 2: that way, because I do think that it is one

456
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:48,680
Speaker 2: of the easiest ways to elevate an outfit when you

457
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:51,120
Speaker 2: feel like you have nothing to wear or you feel

458
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 2: tired of the outfits that you have been re wearing.

459
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 2: So we both love accessories. We've always been a huge

460
00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 2: fan of accessories. We're going to share our cool girl

461
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:01,440
Speaker 2: accessories brands.

462
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 1: So for bags and belts, The Lair They're a small brand,

463
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 1: their belts are honestly some of the best quality belts

464
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 1: We've had to ask for years and literally the go

465
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:14,439
Speaker 1: to to just add a little bit of gst, a

466
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:17,200
Speaker 1: bit of a garnish onto an outfit. Another brand who

467
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:20,120
Speaker 1: does have great belts but also great bags is Naked Vice.

468
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:23,639
Speaker 1: They always have good stuff. Whenever I'm on their website,

469
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:27,879
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, love ten out of ten and obviously

470
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 1: Poppy Listman. She's an iconic Australian brand and absolutely just

471
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 1: has so much personality in her pieces and in her bag.

472
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:39,880
Speaker 1: She had a massive flare a couple of years ago,

473
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:42,720
Speaker 1: but I like highly urge people to check out her

474
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:46,240
Speaker 1: latest stuff really good and also really good for sunglasses.

475
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:50,120
Speaker 1: And then last but not least, is really on. You've

476
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:53,240
Speaker 1: very likely seen the Croissant bag that went viral, but

477
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:56,720
Speaker 1: again check out her other pieces. Still really amazing.

478
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:57,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, obsessed.

479
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 2: And then for bling, we've got Mountain and Moon. They're

480
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:05,440
Speaker 2: very romantic, beautiful pieces.

481
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:08,879
Speaker 1: Statement piece das meant pieces. If you want people to

482
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:10,359
Speaker 1: stop you on the street and say where are your

483
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 1: earrings from? Go get them from Mountain Moon.

484
00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:13,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, so true.

485
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 2: Also, Cammi Citran another really cool brand if you're a

486
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:20,520
Speaker 2: silver girlie. They have a lot of gold and silver,

487
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 2: but again very unique pieces that you won't be able

488
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:24,160
Speaker 2: to find elsewhere.

489
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 3: And then Endless and Co.

490
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're a small brand that reached out to us

491
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 1: and we absolutely loved so much. They're also waterproof and yeah,

492
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 1: a great spot to start if you're also wanting to

493
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:40,040
Speaker 1: kind of experiment with statement jewelry a little bit more.

494
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 1: That's probably like the gateway gateway cool girl jewelry brand.

495
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 1: I would say that's your butter knife, that's your butter

496
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:50,159
Speaker 1: knife of cool girl jewelry. No, I love that. Yeah, Okay,

497
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:52,879
Speaker 1: And last, but not least, we're gonna quick fire our

498
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 1: way through this because I think it can be a

499
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 1: bit luxury and a bit boring, and we know this, yeah,

500
00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:00,679
Speaker 1: but it's a good reminder that if you want to

501
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 1: elevate your look and you want to elevate your wardrobe,

502
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 1: then take care of your clothes. And I'm so fucking

503
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:12,439
Speaker 1: guilty of this. So often we just don't take we

504
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:15,679
Speaker 1: don't read the label. We don't read the damn label

505
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:17,920
Speaker 1: that's telling us how to take care of our clothes.

506
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 1: And then we're like, oh shit, quality, they shrunk in

507
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:21,120
Speaker 1: the wash, and.

508
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:23,639
Speaker 3: It's like killing all this and that it's like, well,

509
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 3: maybe read.

510
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 1: The label exactly. I ruined like my favorite blazer by

511
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:34,080
Speaker 1: putting it in the wash, which like, yeah, I fucking

512
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:36,400
Speaker 1: know how obvious that sounds, but it was in amount

513
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:37,639
Speaker 1: of other clothes that I didn't know.

514
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 2: Was he That's the worst thing I've had that happen

515
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 2: with a silk skirt.

516
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:42,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't know I was in there.

517
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:43,239
Speaker 3: I didn't know.

518
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:50,720
Speaker 1: I didn't know, and the wash and it came out

519
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:54,880
Speaker 1: and I was like no, but we digress.

520
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:57,919
Speaker 2: This is our cheat sheet on how to take care

521
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:02,480
Speaker 2: of your clothes. Number one washing cold water. Hot water

522
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 2: can break down the fibers and fade the colors of

523
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:07,679
Speaker 2: your clothes most of the time. When you read the label,

524
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 2: it will encourage you to wash with cold water because

525
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:13,639
Speaker 2: it's gentler on most fabrics and just as effective for

526
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:18,640
Speaker 2: cleaning your clothes. Two Air dry whenever possible. Heat from

527
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:22,119
Speaker 2: dryers can shrink and fade your clothes and also weaken

528
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 2: the fabrics. Certain fabrics need to be dried in particular

529
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:29,359
Speaker 2: ways as well, which I didn't realize for a long time.

530
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:33,040
Speaker 2: So for example, cotton and wool items are best dried

531
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:36,640
Speaker 2: laid down flat because that can help them keep their

532
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:40,240
Speaker 2: shape as opposed to them being hung up, whereas denim

533
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:42,800
Speaker 2: is best dried hung up to avoid shrinkage.

534
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:44,720
Speaker 1: There you go, Yeah, I didn't know that.

535
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 2: Number three use the correct clothes hangers. Wire hangers are

536
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:53,840
Speaker 2: more likely to stretch your clothes, whereas like a padded

537
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:57,040
Speaker 2: fabric or a wooden clothes hanger can help keep the

538
00:28:57,040 --> 00:29:00,480
Speaker 2: structure of your garment without stretching it out. And number

539
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 2: four storage, don't overpack your closet when you do.

540
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:09,040
Speaker 3: I guilty of this too.

541
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 2: But don't overpack your closet because it can cause damage

542
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 2: to your clothes and wrinkle them, or they can get

543
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:17,040
Speaker 2: moldy because they don't have.

544
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:19,960
Speaker 3: Enough room to breathe. If you are storing.

545
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:22,120
Speaker 2: Your clothes, which is what I have been doing with

546
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 2: my winter jackets, make sure that you store them in

547
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:29,920
Speaker 2: breathable garment bags and also wash them before and get

548
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:33,120
Speaker 2: them cleaned before you store them, because if you don't,

549
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 2: any oils that are in the clothes or dirt or

550
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:38,080
Speaker 2: anything can attract mold or.

551
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 3: Pests like moths and things like that. So there's your

552
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:41,720
Speaker 3: cheat shape.

553
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:43,960
Speaker 1: I love that and you know it as well. So

554
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:48,320
Speaker 1: many items that we have that are supposed to be stylish.

555
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 1: The silhouette of them is what we love. And so

556
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 1: when we don't wash them properly or take care of

557
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 1: them properly and they lose that silhouette, that's when we

558
00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:58,400
Speaker 1: kind of lose the thing that we love about them

559
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:01,320
Speaker 1: the most, or the color. So maybe use that as

560
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 1: your motivation, Alex, because I'm so guilty of so many

561
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:09,160
Speaker 1: of these things because how you doing my washing. But again,

562
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 1: if you want to keep your items for long, we

563
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 1: have to hang them out and we can't just put

564
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:18,560
Speaker 1: them in a gorgeous washer dry That does it for us,

565
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 1: No wash it dryer. I love my washer dry good Bundy's. Well.
