Okay, 41 00:02:06,785 --> 00:02:09,905 Speaker 4: can you describe your style for me in three words? 42 00:02:10,425 --> 00:02:16,585 Speaker 1: Timeless, comfortable, and I'm going to double barrel this machine washable. 43 00:02:16,545 --> 00:02:21,505 Speaker 3: Machine spoken like a true mum. I love it. 44 00:02:21,665 --> 00:02:22,145 Speaker 2: I don't have. 45 00:02:22,185 --> 00:02:25,105 Speaker 1: Time to like hand wash things. Go to the dry 46 00:02:25,145 --> 00:02:28,065 Speaker 1: cleaners all the time. Like, let's be real. 47 00:02:28,385 --> 00:02:31,665 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's that's probably the most realistic three word roundup 48 00:02:31,705 --> 00:02:34,785 Speaker 4: i've heard. Okay, let's move on to the next question. 49 00:02:34,825 --> 00:02:37,265 Speaker 4: There's a saying Canda that we wear ten percent of 50 00:02:37,305 --> 00:02:40,585 Speaker 4: our wardrobes ninety percent of the time on repeat. So 51 00:02:40,625 --> 00:02:43,025 Speaker 4: what would you say is in your ten percent? What's 52 00:02:43,065 --> 00:02:44,665 Speaker 4: the cream of your wardrobe? 53 00:02:44,825 --> 00:02:47,065 Speaker 1: Well, I am going to be a bit of a 54 00:02:47,145 --> 00:02:48,905 Speaker 1: no at all. And I don't mean to say this, 55 00:02:48,945 --> 00:02:51,825 Speaker 1: but I've been saying this, you know, for so many years. 56 00:02:51,825 --> 00:02:53,785 Speaker 1: Like but I first started my YouTube channel about like 57 00:02:53,825 --> 00:02:55,505 Speaker 1: nine and a half years ago, I spoke about this. 58 00:02:56,025 --> 00:03:00,905 Speaker 1: I'm so aware of this potential wastage. I actually make 59 00:03:01,025 --> 00:03:04,865 Speaker 1: such a conscious effort to really wear my wardrobe and 60 00:03:04,945 --> 00:03:07,705 Speaker 1: everything in the wardrobe. So I regularly, you know, my 61 00:03:07,785 --> 00:03:09,225 Speaker 1: top three T shirts. I put them down to the 62 00:03:09,225 --> 00:03:11,385 Speaker 1: bottom of the plant, just make sure that I can 63 00:03:11,425 --> 00:03:13,505 Speaker 1: see everything so that I don't fall into that trap 64 00:03:14,145 --> 00:03:16,385 Speaker 1: of having items that just don't get worn. 65 00:03:16,665 --> 00:03:18,585 Speaker 4: That can happen. You can fall into the trap of 66 00:03:18,625 --> 00:03:20,545 Speaker 4: like pushing things to the back and you can't even 67 00:03:20,545 --> 00:03:22,145 Speaker 4: see them, so you don't even know they're there, and 68 00:03:22,185 --> 00:03:24,105 Speaker 4: then it's like a little surprise when you realize, oh, 69 00:03:24,105 --> 00:03:26,345 Speaker 4: I forgot I had that theme. How do you make 70 00:03:26,385 --> 00:03:28,465 Speaker 4: sure that you do kind of give that love to 71 00:03:28,505 --> 00:03:29,585 Speaker 4: what's in your wardrobe? 72 00:03:29,825 --> 00:03:30,865 Speaker 3: You keep things fresh. 73 00:03:31,065 --> 00:03:33,745 Speaker 1: I keep things fresh. I regularly reorganize my wardrobe. And 74 00:03:33,785 --> 00:03:36,105 Speaker 1: it doesn't mean like I pull everything out and put 75 00:03:36,145 --> 00:03:37,705 Speaker 1: them in different draws and stuff like that. I just, 76 00:03:37,945 --> 00:03:40,425 Speaker 1: you know, I make a conscious effort to not let 77 00:03:40,505 --> 00:03:42,465 Speaker 1: that happen. So I'll look through my tops that have 78 00:03:42,505 --> 00:03:44,705 Speaker 1: folded up, and I'll bring the bottom three tops and 79 00:03:44,705 --> 00:03:46,625 Speaker 1: put them on the top because for me, out of sight, 80 00:03:46,705 --> 00:03:48,905 Speaker 1: out of mind, so being able to see everything. And 81 00:03:48,905 --> 00:03:51,305 Speaker 1: then also I'm a financial planner. You know, that's my 82 00:03:51,345 --> 00:03:53,545 Speaker 1: bread and butter. So when I like looking at things going, 83 00:03:53,785 --> 00:03:56,785 Speaker 1: I still wear that. I still love that. And you know, 84 00:03:56,865 --> 00:03:58,585 Speaker 1: of course, if it gets to a point where you know, 85 00:03:58,625 --> 00:04:01,025 Speaker 1: my life has changed a little bit, I don't necessarily 86 00:04:01,025 --> 00:04:03,705 Speaker 1: need as many blazers. You know, I'm happy to release 87 00:04:03,745 --> 00:04:06,585 Speaker 1: them to the circular economy. But you know, it really 88 00:04:06,625 --> 00:04:09,665 Speaker 1: is very much a visibility. But to be really honest 89 00:04:09,785 --> 00:04:13,505 Speaker 1: as well with you, the cream of my wardrobe would 90 00:04:13,545 --> 00:04:15,665 Speaker 1: have to be my polyester dressing gown. 91 00:04:17,145 --> 00:04:18,785 Speaker 3: So you get home and you just chuck on. 92 00:04:18,865 --> 00:04:21,225 Speaker 4: You know, off comes the blouse and the jeans, you know, 93 00:04:21,305 --> 00:04:24,265 Speaker 4: the straight leg jeans, and on goes the polyester robe. 94 00:04:24,305 --> 00:04:27,665 Speaker 1: Is that what you're saying exactly right? And my girlfriend 95 00:04:27,865 --> 00:04:30,505 Speaker 1: Georgie McCourt, she actually is the same and will like 96 00:04:30,625 --> 00:04:32,345 Speaker 1: message you to other guess what I did in my 97 00:04:32,425 --> 00:04:36,065 Speaker 1: dressing gown today or last night. Like we love to 98 00:04:36,105 --> 00:04:39,105 Speaker 1: just horrify each other, but we are in our happy spaces, Like. 99 00:04:39,265 --> 00:04:41,025 Speaker 4: Can I let you in on a little secret. I'm 100 00:04:41,065 --> 00:04:44,105 Speaker 4: wearing my fluffy slippers under my desk right now. Hmmm, 101 00:04:44,745 --> 00:04:47,145 Speaker 4: all right, kind of let's get into a bit more 102 00:04:47,185 --> 00:04:49,705 Speaker 4: detail here. I want to talk about we're sort of 103 00:04:49,705 --> 00:04:52,825 Speaker 4: blending fashion and finance today because that is you know, 104 00:04:52,865 --> 00:04:55,745 Speaker 4: I would say that's really what your your specialty is. 105 00:04:55,865 --> 00:04:58,785 Speaker 4: So when it comes to fashion, it's a broad topic. 106 00:04:58,865 --> 00:05:01,625 Speaker 4: But what would you say, are like the key factors 107 00:05:01,665 --> 00:05:03,945 Speaker 4: that you look for when deciding if a piece is 108 00:05:04,105 --> 00:05:05,305 Speaker 4: worth investing in. 109 00:05:05,825 --> 00:05:09,025 Speaker 1: Quality is a big thing for me. I would be 110 00:05:09,065 --> 00:05:11,545 Speaker 1: really angry at my if I bought something and it's 111 00:05:11,705 --> 00:05:14,185 Speaker 1: just looking tired and tatty very quickly, or it's starting 112 00:05:14,225 --> 00:05:16,065 Speaker 1: to fall apart, or it's something that's a very high 113 00:05:16,105 --> 00:05:17,945 Speaker 1: maintenance piece that you know you have to be very 114 00:05:17,945 --> 00:05:20,745 Speaker 1: careful where you wear it, what touches it. You know, 115 00:05:20,785 --> 00:05:22,065 Speaker 1: those really delicate. 116 00:05:21,705 --> 00:05:23,985 Speaker 4: Fabrics, and how do you know what are the sort 117 00:05:23,985 --> 00:05:26,225 Speaker 4: of hallmarks that something's not good quality. 118 00:05:26,625 --> 00:05:30,385 Speaker 1: I always say, look to your own wardrobe, look at 119 00:05:30,425 --> 00:05:33,585 Speaker 1: the brands of items you've owned for a really long time. 120 00:05:33,945 --> 00:05:37,385 Speaker 1: A classic example for me is Zimmerman. You know the 121 00:05:37,465 --> 00:05:40,785 Speaker 1: Zimmerman dresses. That's be honest. You know they're expensive, and 122 00:05:41,065 --> 00:05:43,945 Speaker 1: as with everything in this world, they've gone up and 123 00:05:44,145 --> 00:05:46,745 Speaker 1: they're more expensive, and I don't buy them nearly as 124 00:05:46,785 --> 00:05:48,305 Speaker 1: much as they would not that I bought peeps of 125 00:05:48,345 --> 00:05:51,465 Speaker 1: them in the past, but I have probably five or 126 00:05:51,465 --> 00:05:54,985 Speaker 1: six Zimmerman dresses that at least five years old. 127 00:05:55,265 --> 00:05:57,425 Speaker 4: Yep, so do I not five, but I reckon I've 128 00:05:57,425 --> 00:05:59,825 Speaker 4: got two or three in my wardrobe. I think one 129 00:05:59,905 --> 00:06:02,465 Speaker 4: or two I bought at their archive sale. 130 00:06:02,665 --> 00:06:03,505 Speaker 1: Oh good. 131 00:06:03,665 --> 00:06:06,225 Speaker 4: They have an amazing outlet for anyone who doesn't know. 132 00:06:06,265 --> 00:06:09,065 Speaker 4: I think I've recommended this on the show before. They 133 00:06:09,065 --> 00:06:11,985 Speaker 4: have an outlet store in Sydney that it's very much 134 00:06:12,025 --> 00:06:15,625 Speaker 4: worth visiting because some of Zimmum and silhouettes that will 135 00:06:15,625 --> 00:06:17,905 Speaker 4: all of Zimum and silhouettes. Really they're quite timeless, and 136 00:06:17,905 --> 00:06:20,705 Speaker 4: they tend to repeat the same sort of silhouettes in 137 00:06:20,825 --> 00:06:24,105 Speaker 4: new prints and fabrics. But I've got dresses that I 138 00:06:24,185 --> 00:06:28,425 Speaker 4: bought or pants or blouses that I bought, like literally, 139 00:06:28,585 --> 00:06:30,785 Speaker 4: I reckon like eight to ten years ago when I 140 00:06:30,865 --> 00:06:34,025 Speaker 4: was like a fashion you know, newbie starting out in magazines, 141 00:06:34,065 --> 00:06:35,305 Speaker 4: and I'm still wearing them now. 142 00:06:35,705 --> 00:06:37,745 Speaker 1: I'm exactly the same. I have this one dress, bought 143 00:06:37,745 --> 00:06:39,505 Speaker 1: it when I just found out I was pregnant with Roco, 144 00:06:39,585 --> 00:06:43,585 Speaker 1: and Rocco's just turned eleven. Oh wow, premi baby. So 145 00:06:43,625 --> 00:06:46,625 Speaker 1: if you add in like eleven plus eight months. 146 00:06:46,305 --> 00:06:47,665 Speaker 3: Plus corrected age of. 147 00:06:49,505 --> 00:06:52,305 Speaker 1: That dress is actually approaching twelve years old, and it's 148 00:06:52,385 --> 00:06:55,345 Speaker 1: still in beautiful condition. So you know, look what has 149 00:06:55,345 --> 00:06:57,985 Speaker 1: actually lasted in your wardrobe. They're the brands that you know, 150 00:06:58,425 --> 00:07:00,425 Speaker 1: you can have a bit of faith that they are 151 00:07:00,425 --> 00:07:03,785 Speaker 1: smart investments for you. And whenever I do have to, 152 00:07:04,025 --> 00:07:06,025 Speaker 1: you know, look at clothest of fall at apart or 153 00:07:06,465 --> 00:07:08,065 Speaker 1: you know, the stains haven't been able to come out, 154 00:07:08,065 --> 00:07:10,505 Speaker 1: probably because the fabric's not real quality. I make a 155 00:07:10,505 --> 00:07:12,545 Speaker 1: conscious effort of making note of that, so I know, 156 00:07:12,905 --> 00:07:16,025 Speaker 1: don't go back to that shop again. Avoid that, you know, 157 00:07:16,105 --> 00:07:18,065 Speaker 1: learn from this mistake. Don't beat yourself up because that's 158 00:07:18,065 --> 00:07:21,225 Speaker 1: just ridiculous. But learn. Okay, you know what that brand 159 00:07:21,385 --> 00:07:22,625 Speaker 1: is going to get a wide berth for me, I 160 00:07:22,625 --> 00:07:24,465 Speaker 1: don't need to waste any more money there, Like that's 161 00:07:24,505 --> 00:07:27,265 Speaker 1: a lesson learned, and for me, that's just it's cut 162 00:07:27,305 --> 00:07:31,305 Speaker 1: down the waisted. So obviously quality is important. Shopping for 163 00:07:31,345 --> 00:07:33,825 Speaker 1: your real life is really important as well. Like I 164 00:07:33,825 --> 00:07:36,305 Speaker 1: could very easily, you know, spread a fortune on cute 165 00:07:36,305 --> 00:07:40,105 Speaker 1: little party dresses. I don't go to parties, says, too 166 00:07:40,105 --> 00:07:43,385 Speaker 1: busy mydressing. That's not something for me. Yeah. So I'm 167 00:07:43,505 --> 00:07:45,745 Speaker 1: very honest about what the reality of my life is. 168 00:07:45,825 --> 00:07:48,265 Speaker 1: And I work a lot from home. I work a 169 00:07:48,265 --> 00:07:51,505 Speaker 1: lot from no head office. So my wardrobe has got 170 00:07:51,545 --> 00:07:52,825 Speaker 1: to be cool, it's got to be edgy, it's got 171 00:07:52,865 --> 00:07:54,785 Speaker 1: to be comfortable. But also I've got to be able 172 00:07:54,785 --> 00:07:57,065 Speaker 1: to get run around looking after my kids and also 173 00:07:57,465 --> 00:07:59,705 Speaker 1: be comfortable at home and not feeling like a slob 174 00:07:59,825 --> 00:08:00,905 Speaker 1: at home as well. 175 00:08:01,305 --> 00:08:03,465 Speaker 4: I totally hear you. I think that's such a good 176 00:08:03,505 --> 00:08:06,265 Speaker 4: point you make about shopping for the person that you 177 00:08:06,305 --> 00:08:09,065 Speaker 4: are in this moment and the life that you're actually living. 178 00:08:09,705 --> 00:08:11,545 Speaker 4: I live next to the beach in this sort of 179 00:08:11,585 --> 00:08:15,905 Speaker 4: really relaxed coastal area, and so I have all these 180 00:08:15,945 --> 00:08:19,585 Speaker 4: pieces from my sort of before life in Sydney as 181 00:08:19,625 --> 00:08:23,545 Speaker 4: a cosmopolitan girl living in the eastern suburbs, like little 182 00:08:23,545 --> 00:08:26,385 Speaker 4: blazer dresses and heels. 183 00:08:25,905 --> 00:08:26,985 Speaker 3: And I don't wear them at all. 184 00:08:27,025 --> 00:08:29,665 Speaker 4: And it's okay to accept that your life has moved 185 00:08:29,705 --> 00:08:31,985 Speaker 4: on or in a different direction and your wardrobe from 186 00:08:31,985 --> 00:08:35,145 Speaker 4: the beforetime isn't necessarily what you need now. It doesn't 187 00:08:35,185 --> 00:08:37,265 Speaker 4: mean that you're past the you know, you can never 188 00:08:37,305 --> 00:08:39,505 Speaker 4: going to throw on a party dress or heels again, 189 00:08:39,625 --> 00:08:42,785 Speaker 4: but leaning into the moment that you're in. Like for me, 190 00:08:42,825 --> 00:08:46,625 Speaker 4: it's loungewear at the moment, like she loungewear and then sneakers. 191 00:08:46,665 --> 00:08:49,025 Speaker 4: It's just like that's the lifestyle phase that I'm in, 192 00:08:49,065 --> 00:08:51,185 Speaker 4: and it makes sense to shop for that and invest 193 00:08:51,225 --> 00:08:52,505 Speaker 4: in that instead. 194 00:08:52,145 --> 00:08:56,345 Speaker 1: Right exactly and finding those pieces that actually can be 195 00:08:56,665 --> 00:08:59,265 Speaker 1: dressed up and dressed down, so versatile pieces. You know, 196 00:08:59,785 --> 00:09:02,665 Speaker 1: I love my Nike Amax. I think they're the nineties, 197 00:09:02,705 --> 00:09:04,305 Speaker 1: and you know, I've got a couple of pairs of them, 198 00:09:04,345 --> 00:09:07,025 Speaker 1: but I wear them with like leather joggers to work. 199 00:09:07,425 --> 00:09:09,945 Speaker 1: You know, I'll wear them with like a dress. Sometimes 200 00:09:10,185 --> 00:09:12,945 Speaker 1: I buy pieces that I can style up and down 201 00:09:13,025 --> 00:09:15,985 Speaker 1: so I get great wear. Sometimes I'm a bit embarrassed 202 00:09:15,985 --> 00:09:17,785 Speaker 1: that I've got so many pieces that I've styled in 203 00:09:17,785 --> 00:09:20,385 Speaker 1: so many different ways, But to me, that's smart. 204 00:09:20,625 --> 00:09:21,585 Speaker 3: Don't be embarrassed. 205 00:09:22,025 --> 00:09:25,105 Speaker 4: Let's move on to the more timeless wardrobe investments or 206 00:09:25,345 --> 00:09:28,545 Speaker 4: staples rather that you would recommend that everyone splurge on 207 00:09:28,665 --> 00:09:31,065 Speaker 4: because of say the cost per wear, or you're going 208 00:09:31,145 --> 00:09:33,865 Speaker 4: to get a really good return on investment for those pieces. 209 00:09:34,385 --> 00:09:38,145 Speaker 1: Everyone has their own individual signature style. For me, my 210 00:09:38,265 --> 00:09:41,225 Speaker 1: style is quite timeless and classic, so great captural wardrob 211 00:09:41,225 --> 00:09:45,225 Speaker 1: pieces are a beautiful trend coat, pair of leather pants, 212 00:09:45,265 --> 00:09:48,025 Speaker 1: a beautiful handbag. You know that's for me. Those are 213 00:09:48,065 --> 00:09:50,185 Speaker 1: the pieces. But you know there are people out there 214 00:09:50,185 --> 00:09:54,345 Speaker 1: who find that look extremely boring and not very original 215 00:09:54,665 --> 00:09:58,065 Speaker 1: and lacking creativity and also a little bit bland. Right. 216 00:09:58,105 --> 00:10:00,705 Speaker 1: So I don't really like to say, like, this is 217 00:10:00,785 --> 00:10:03,265 Speaker 1: the capural wardropiece, because I just feel like I'm pigeoning 218 00:10:03,465 --> 00:10:05,785 Speaker 1: holding people, and I don't like to make that assumption. 219 00:10:06,145 --> 00:10:08,505 Speaker 1: What I love to recommend is people find their own 220 00:10:08,545 --> 00:10:12,705 Speaker 1: style and press pause on all the shopping and really 221 00:10:13,105 --> 00:10:17,305 Speaker 1: invest a lot of time, dive deep into seeing and 222 00:10:17,425 --> 00:10:19,985 Speaker 1: paying attention to and credit that awareness as to what 223 00:10:20,105 --> 00:10:22,705 Speaker 1: lights you up. You know, if someone walking out the 224 00:10:22,745 --> 00:10:25,785 Speaker 1: street catches your eye, ask yourself, Okay, what is it 225 00:10:25,825 --> 00:10:28,545 Speaker 1: about that person's look that I'm loving so much right now? 226 00:10:29,065 --> 00:10:32,185 Speaker 1: And dissect it or is it the color combination or 227 00:10:32,225 --> 00:10:35,105 Speaker 1: is it the cut? Try and hone in on it, 228 00:10:35,145 --> 00:10:37,505 Speaker 1: because you're going to learn a lot about helping build 229 00:10:37,545 --> 00:10:41,305 Speaker 1: your own sense of style, but then your own individual, 230 00:10:41,465 --> 00:10:44,825 Speaker 1: unique capital wardrobe that has your signature touches on it. 231 00:10:54,945 --> 00:10:58,065 Speaker 4: I would love to know where you find your inspiration, 232 00:10:58,145 --> 00:11:00,185 Speaker 4: you said observing people in the street. Are you a 233 00:11:00,225 --> 00:11:00,865 Speaker 4: people watcher? 234 00:11:00,905 --> 00:11:01,025 Speaker 2: Oh? 235 00:11:01,425 --> 00:11:03,625 Speaker 4: I would think that you, being a financial planner and 236 00:11:03,625 --> 00:11:07,745 Speaker 4: someone who's quite meticulous in your organization, would be the 237 00:11:07,825 --> 00:11:10,425 Speaker 4: kind of person that would have like maybe got Pinterest 238 00:11:10,505 --> 00:11:13,305 Speaker 4: boards or you've got saved folders on Instagram? How do 239 00:11:13,385 --> 00:11:16,145 Speaker 4: you find your inspiration and store it? 240 00:11:16,585 --> 00:11:19,265 Speaker 1: Instagram is really where I find so much. This is 241 00:11:19,305 --> 00:11:21,385 Speaker 1: the only place that I save it. But you know, 242 00:11:21,505 --> 00:11:23,185 Speaker 1: on Instagram, I have a little folder and I have 243 00:11:23,225 --> 00:11:25,785 Speaker 1: fashion ideas, and I you know, if I see something 244 00:11:26,025 --> 00:11:27,785 Speaker 1: I save it into that folder, and you know, in 245 00:11:27,825 --> 00:11:29,785 Speaker 1: the morning sometimes I'm thinking what am I gonna wear? 246 00:11:30,345 --> 00:11:32,505 Speaker 1: I can open up my saffolder and have a little 247 00:11:32,545 --> 00:11:35,385 Speaker 1: cruse of what I've previously saved. And that is not 248 00:11:35,465 --> 00:11:37,745 Speaker 1: inspiration to go shop. That is inspiration to try and 249 00:11:37,785 --> 00:11:40,505 Speaker 1: put something together that I already own. 250 00:11:40,905 --> 00:11:43,585 Speaker 4: Yes, I do the exact same thing, and it just 251 00:11:43,625 --> 00:11:45,705 Speaker 4: gives you that little lift or boost in the morning 252 00:11:45,705 --> 00:11:47,945 Speaker 4: to inspire you to get dressed, like, oh, there's an 253 00:11:48,025 --> 00:11:50,545 Speaker 4: idea that I hadn't tried, or there's something that I've 254 00:11:50,585 --> 00:11:53,625 Speaker 4: saved a hundred times. I've saved fifty photos of women 255 00:11:53,705 --> 00:11:56,385 Speaker 4: in oversized blazers and sneakers. Maybe I could try and 256 00:11:56,825 --> 00:11:59,665 Speaker 4: replicate that with my own wardrobe right exactly. 257 00:11:59,785 --> 00:12:02,785 Speaker 1: And it's something really rewarding about, you know, putting together 258 00:12:02,825 --> 00:12:04,825 Speaker 1: a really cool outfit you've never thought of before, and 259 00:12:04,865 --> 00:12:07,865 Speaker 1: you're like, yeah, this works, like I'm killing it today. 260 00:12:09,665 --> 00:12:11,945 Speaker 4: You know, with the cost of living on the rise, 261 00:12:12,305 --> 00:12:15,265 Speaker 4: most of us are obviously working to a budget or 262 00:12:15,265 --> 00:12:18,225 Speaker 4: a tiighter budget maybe than we used to. How can 263 00:12:18,305 --> 00:12:22,185 Speaker 4: someone prioritize what to spend money on versus where they 264 00:12:22,225 --> 00:12:24,825 Speaker 4: should save, especially when it comes to shopping. 265 00:12:25,225 --> 00:12:28,505 Speaker 1: Look I think having a set amount in your budget 266 00:12:28,625 --> 00:12:32,585 Speaker 1: for a start is advisable because when we put ourselves 267 00:12:32,625 --> 00:12:37,105 Speaker 1: on these ridiculous, crazy stringent budgets, it just causes us 268 00:12:37,105 --> 00:12:39,945 Speaker 1: a blowout. You know, if you go to aggressively, you're 269 00:12:39,945 --> 00:12:41,785 Speaker 1: going to have a complete blowout, like. 270 00:12:41,705 --> 00:12:44,785 Speaker 4: A shopping spree, and a shopping spree you weren't supposed 271 00:12:44,825 --> 00:12:45,185 Speaker 4: to go on. 272 00:12:45,225 --> 00:12:46,825 Speaker 1: Yes, And that's where people we don't kind of have 273 00:12:46,945 --> 00:12:49,665 Speaker 1: a a little bit wild and they may go for 274 00:12:49,705 --> 00:12:51,785 Speaker 1: the buyer now, pay later, or the credit card. And 275 00:12:52,025 --> 00:12:54,065 Speaker 1: I have no problems with credit cards or buying appay later, 276 00:12:54,105 --> 00:12:56,305 Speaker 1: but what I have problems is when they aren't paid 277 00:12:56,385 --> 00:12:59,425 Speaker 1: in a responsible way that's in alignment to a financial wellbeing. 278 00:12:59,585 --> 00:13:02,705 Speaker 1: So even if it's you know, twenty dollars a week 279 00:13:02,825 --> 00:13:05,705 Speaker 1: or you know, fifty dollars a month, you're allowing yourself 280 00:13:05,745 --> 00:13:07,185 Speaker 1: to have that a little bit of an outlet. And 281 00:13:07,385 --> 00:13:08,785 Speaker 1: there might be a month where you go, well, you 282 00:13:08,825 --> 00:13:10,385 Speaker 1: don't need to buy anything, so you can put that 283 00:13:10,425 --> 00:13:12,505 Speaker 1: fifty dollars towards next month, and they put one hundred 284 00:13:12,545 --> 00:13:15,785 Speaker 1: dollars like a rolling bunch. I don't allow like to 285 00:13:15,865 --> 00:13:17,985 Speaker 1: be called it like pocket money kind of so it 286 00:13:18,025 --> 00:13:19,545 Speaker 1: makes it a little bit fun. It's personally what I 287 00:13:19,585 --> 00:13:22,545 Speaker 1: do myself, so I can buy something if I need it, 288 00:13:22,625 --> 00:13:24,665 Speaker 1: and also I can enjoy the feeling of saving up 289 00:13:24,705 --> 00:13:28,505 Speaker 1: and that delayed gratification. So keeping that in budget number one. 290 00:13:28,545 --> 00:13:31,905 Speaker 1: Number two would obviously be looking at what you actually need, 291 00:13:32,665 --> 00:13:35,585 Speaker 1: going through what you already own. So many of us 292 00:13:35,785 --> 00:13:39,385 Speaker 1: have already everything that we need. There's no holes in 293 00:13:39,425 --> 00:13:42,625 Speaker 1: our wardrobe. We don't need to constantly go and hit 294 00:13:42,665 --> 00:13:44,385 Speaker 1: the shops. And you know that's why a lot of 295 00:13:44,425 --> 00:13:47,385 Speaker 1: my content is. You know, posted a reel the other day. 296 00:13:47,385 --> 00:13:50,305 Speaker 1: It was a brown dress on sale for sixty nine dollars, 297 00:13:50,345 --> 00:13:52,465 Speaker 1: and I showed people how to wear it for five 298 00:13:52,505 --> 00:13:56,585 Speaker 1: different occasions. So look at what you've got already and 299 00:13:57,145 --> 00:14:00,465 Speaker 1: think about, you know, your color palette, think about the 300 00:14:00,465 --> 00:14:04,105 Speaker 1: brands you really like, the style, and learn to really 301 00:14:04,185 --> 00:14:07,825 Speaker 1: embrace what you've already got, because nine and a half 302 00:14:07,865 --> 00:14:10,545 Speaker 1: times out of ten, we actually don't need to go on. Mind. 303 00:14:10,505 --> 00:14:13,145 Speaker 4: I think you such good advice, Canna. Okay, I've got 304 00:14:13,185 --> 00:14:15,465 Speaker 4: so many more questions for you. But before we go on, 305 00:14:16,025 --> 00:14:18,305 Speaker 4: I want to do a little game that I'm calling 306 00:14:18,425 --> 00:14:22,545 Speaker 4: investing or rejecting. We're going to talk about some of 307 00:14:22,585 --> 00:14:26,265 Speaker 4: the latest trends and whether you, as a financial planner 308 00:14:26,305 --> 00:14:28,745 Speaker 4: and fashion expert, are you investing in them or are 309 00:14:28,745 --> 00:14:31,785 Speaker 4: you rejecting them, or maybe you're going to suggest something else. 310 00:14:31,905 --> 00:14:33,185 Speaker 3: Okay, are you ready? I'm ready? 311 00:14:33,425 --> 00:14:33,705 Speaker 1: Okay. 312 00:14:33,745 --> 00:14:36,665 Speaker 4: The first trend I have for you is barrel leg 313 00:14:36,785 --> 00:14:40,145 Speaker 4: jeans for anyone who's not across the barrel leg gene trend, 314 00:14:40,425 --> 00:14:43,505 Speaker 4: it's jeans that are kind of rounded and balloon esque 315 00:14:43,705 --> 00:14:45,265 Speaker 4: through the leg. So we're seeing a lot of this 316 00:14:45,265 --> 00:14:47,825 Speaker 4: silhouette and fashion with these balloon leg jeans. I think 317 00:14:47,825 --> 00:14:50,545 Speaker 4: it's lueve is one of the brands that's really responsible 318 00:14:50,585 --> 00:14:53,385 Speaker 4: for this silhouette trending at the moment. So they kind 319 00:14:53,385 --> 00:14:55,065 Speaker 4: of look like you just rode a horse, or you're 320 00:14:55,065 --> 00:14:57,425 Speaker 4: ready to ride a horse. They're wide through the leg. 321 00:14:57,785 --> 00:15:00,585 Speaker 1: You know this is some people could just rock that, 322 00:15:00,785 --> 00:15:03,385 Speaker 1: but personally, no, I will not be prescribing to that trend. 323 00:15:03,945 --> 00:15:05,105 Speaker 3: That's a fair response. 324 00:15:05,145 --> 00:15:08,025 Speaker 4: I feel like you've gone with the diplomatic response there, 325 00:15:08,345 --> 00:15:08,745 Speaker 4: all right. 326 00:15:08,825 --> 00:15:12,545 Speaker 3: Moving on to Bermuda shorts. So this sort of. 327 00:15:12,545 --> 00:15:16,265 Speaker 4: Classic knee length, preppy vibe of short that you might 328 00:15:16,345 --> 00:15:19,665 Speaker 4: traditionally associate with men's wear or polo clubs or like 329 00:15:20,065 --> 00:15:20,585 Speaker 4: your team. 330 00:15:20,905 --> 00:15:23,185 Speaker 1: Personally, I will not be putting on a pair of 331 00:15:23,265 --> 00:15:25,945 Speaker 1: Bermuda shorts because I know for myself that they're not 332 00:15:26,145 --> 00:15:29,225 Speaker 1: very flattering to me and my sense of style and 333 00:15:29,265 --> 00:15:32,385 Speaker 1: what I really value. So everyone else is obviously welcome 334 00:15:32,425 --> 00:15:35,025 Speaker 1: to embrace it and rock them as they wish, but personally, no, 335 00:15:35,145 --> 00:15:36,825 Speaker 1: I will not be jumping on board with that one. 336 00:15:36,865 --> 00:15:41,145 Speaker 4: All right, she's rejecting everybody. Okay, moving on to jelly sandals. 337 00:15:41,145 --> 00:15:43,705 Speaker 4: So the clear rubber sandals that you might know from 338 00:15:43,745 --> 00:15:47,105 Speaker 4: our childhoods, they're back in fashion thanks to brands like 339 00:15:47,185 --> 00:15:48,545 Speaker 4: The Row and Melissa. 340 00:15:48,945 --> 00:15:52,945 Speaker 1: I love this trend. Oh really what I love? Oh 341 00:15:52,985 --> 00:15:56,905 Speaker 1: what brand was it? It was Greek Ancient sandals. You 342 00:15:56,905 --> 00:15:57,505 Speaker 1: can buy them on. 343 00:15:57,465 --> 00:15:59,105 Speaker 3: Netapa Ancient Greek sandals. 344 00:15:59,305 --> 00:16:02,345 Speaker 1: We go agient Greek sandals and they're not ridiculously priced 345 00:16:02,385 --> 00:16:04,745 Speaker 1: even though they're from netaporter. But they are doing like 346 00:16:04,785 --> 00:16:08,265 Speaker 1: the cool ballet flets like the Row and I actually 347 00:16:08,305 --> 00:16:10,545 Speaker 1: tried some on someone else was the other day for 348 00:16:10,625 --> 00:16:13,825 Speaker 1: fun and they were really cool. I thought they were 349 00:16:13,865 --> 00:16:16,145 Speaker 1: really cute, And you know, I'm like you, I live 350 00:16:16,225 --> 00:16:18,665 Speaker 1: right near the beach. Got stand all through my car 351 00:16:18,745 --> 00:16:20,865 Speaker 1: and my house, so you know, and I need something 352 00:16:20,905 --> 00:16:23,225 Speaker 1: I can please slip on. And I think these are great. 353 00:16:23,265 --> 00:16:24,945 Speaker 1: I like the sound of them, and I like the 354 00:16:24,945 --> 00:16:25,825 Speaker 1: look of them as well. 355 00:16:25,905 --> 00:16:28,545 Speaker 4: You don't have to splurge on the row to get 356 00:16:28,585 --> 00:16:30,385 Speaker 4: the look for sure. All right, let's move on to 357 00:16:30,465 --> 00:16:33,625 Speaker 4: a few more questions with you. Are there any specific 358 00:16:33,865 --> 00:16:38,545 Speaker 4: fashion investment pieces that can hold or even increase their 359 00:16:38,625 --> 00:16:41,625 Speaker 4: value over time similar to other types of investments like 360 00:16:42,065 --> 00:16:44,745 Speaker 4: real estate, or would you say that fashion is always 361 00:16:44,825 --> 00:16:46,625 Speaker 4: depreciating in value like cars? 362 00:16:46,905 --> 00:16:49,985 Speaker 1: Okay? For me to call something an investment, a proper 363 00:16:50,105 --> 00:16:53,665 Speaker 1: legitimate investment as a licensed financial planner's got to have 364 00:16:53,785 --> 00:16:57,065 Speaker 1: que dimensions. It's got to grow in value, and it's 365 00:16:57,065 --> 00:16:59,625 Speaker 1: got to produce a passive income stream like. 366 00:17:00,385 --> 00:17:03,025 Speaker 3: My brain switches off. So help me. 367 00:17:03,225 --> 00:17:05,385 Speaker 1: I will admit I do have a bit of a 368 00:17:05,385 --> 00:17:09,385 Speaker 1: soft spot for Chanelle handbags. I don't ever sell my handbags. 369 00:17:09,665 --> 00:17:11,625 Speaker 1: I don't ever sell my Shanell handbags. I just say, 370 00:17:12,185 --> 00:17:15,145 Speaker 1: and they've all gone up in value so much, and 371 00:17:15,185 --> 00:17:18,385 Speaker 1: I've been very savvy in buying them, you know, buying 372 00:17:18,425 --> 00:17:20,225 Speaker 1: them before I went overseas, so I got the GST 373 00:17:20,345 --> 00:17:22,945 Speaker 1: bag or you know, buying the overseas when the Australian 374 00:17:22,985 --> 00:17:25,945 Speaker 1: dollar was very strong, and I've just bought really classic 375 00:17:25,985 --> 00:17:28,705 Speaker 1: styles that are still in fashion. Chanells will make them. 376 00:17:28,745 --> 00:17:31,705 Speaker 1: So I've done really well with my handbags, but they're 377 00:17:31,705 --> 00:17:34,265 Speaker 1: not a legitimate investment unless I start renting them out 378 00:17:34,345 --> 00:17:37,025 Speaker 1: and that becomes like a business. So that's not happening. 379 00:17:37,145 --> 00:17:39,305 Speaker 3: That's quite a smart idea. I trust you to come 380 00:17:39,385 --> 00:17:41,545 Speaker 3: up with that on the fly. But I know what 381 00:17:41,585 --> 00:17:41,945 Speaker 3: you mean. 382 00:17:42,065 --> 00:17:44,705 Speaker 4: I have heard that ermez bag Chanell bags. There's certain 383 00:17:44,745 --> 00:17:48,065 Speaker 4: brands that do a crue value over time because the 384 00:17:48,105 --> 00:17:51,105 Speaker 4: price point goes up at retail. Right, So a Chanell 385 00:17:51,225 --> 00:17:55,105 Speaker 4: two point five handbag even like ten fifteen years ago. 386 00:17:55,145 --> 00:17:56,945 Speaker 4: I remember when I first started out in fashion, you 387 00:17:56,985 --> 00:17:59,185 Speaker 4: could get one for like two or three grand, which, 388 00:17:59,265 --> 00:18:01,185 Speaker 4: of course that's still a lot of money, but now 389 00:18:01,185 --> 00:18:04,545 Speaker 4: we're talking like at another ten k. They're like twelve 390 00:18:04,545 --> 00:18:05,265 Speaker 4: thousand dollars. 391 00:18:05,305 --> 00:18:07,945 Speaker 1: Now it's crazy. I bought mine and it was my 392 00:18:08,025 --> 00:18:10,385 Speaker 1: first Chanel handbag. It actually just was wearing it today 393 00:18:10,985 --> 00:18:14,505 Speaker 1: and I paid four thousand dollars for it, which at 394 00:18:14,505 --> 00:18:17,745 Speaker 1: the time is a huge commitment. And also to just 395 00:18:17,905 --> 00:18:19,745 Speaker 1: put this in check, like I only buy a Chanel 396 00:18:19,745 --> 00:18:22,825 Speaker 1: handbag if I've achieved my goals for the whole entire year, 397 00:18:22,825 --> 00:18:24,985 Speaker 1: and I will pay for that back in cash. And 398 00:18:24,985 --> 00:18:26,945 Speaker 1: there are plenty of years where I haven't achieved those 399 00:18:26,985 --> 00:18:29,865 Speaker 1: goals and I have not rewarded myself with a bag. 400 00:18:29,905 --> 00:18:32,305 Speaker 1: But it's crazy, but I take really good care of 401 00:18:32,345 --> 00:18:34,385 Speaker 1: my bags. They live in their soft bags. I don't 402 00:18:34,425 --> 00:18:37,305 Speaker 1: just throw them around the house drop food on them. 403 00:18:37,425 --> 00:18:39,745 Speaker 1: Like to me, they're special and each bag has symbolized 404 00:18:39,785 --> 00:18:42,145 Speaker 1: something in my life, you know, something I've achieved, or 405 00:18:42,145 --> 00:18:44,945 Speaker 1: something I've gotten through, or my own personal growth and development. 406 00:18:45,025 --> 00:18:48,065 Speaker 1: So they're meaningful. And you know, I hope that I've 407 00:18:48,065 --> 00:18:50,705 Speaker 1: bought well and timeless, and my daughters or my son 408 00:18:50,905 --> 00:18:53,105 Speaker 1: loves to play with them and use them and embrace 409 00:18:53,105 --> 00:18:53,665 Speaker 1: them as well. 410 00:18:54,065 --> 00:18:56,505 Speaker 4: I love that personally, my toddler will not be going 411 00:18:56,545 --> 00:18:59,145 Speaker 4: anywhere near my Gucci bag, her sticky fingers, but maybe 412 00:18:59,185 --> 00:19:01,905 Speaker 4: when she's a little bit older. I love that strategy 413 00:19:01,945 --> 00:19:04,265 Speaker 4: that's of rewarding yourself. That's that's great, And I think 414 00:19:04,305 --> 00:19:06,625 Speaker 4: it doesn't matter what level of reward that looks like. 415 00:19:06,665 --> 00:19:08,465 Speaker 4: It could be her Chanelle handbag, or it could be 416 00:19:08,545 --> 00:19:10,665 Speaker 4: you know, and are more a full piece of jewelry 417 00:19:10,785 --> 00:19:12,625 Speaker 4: or something that, like you said, lights you up and 418 00:19:12,625 --> 00:19:15,265 Speaker 4: makes you happy, but feels like a reward, you know, 419 00:19:15,345 --> 00:19:16,465 Speaker 4: for putting in the work. 420 00:19:16,785 --> 00:19:18,265 Speaker 1: I have to say there was one year where I 421 00:19:18,305 --> 00:19:20,425 Speaker 1: did actually achieve my goals. I just felt like no 422 00:19:20,505 --> 00:19:22,145 Speaker 1: desire to go and buy a bag, even though I 423 00:19:22,225 --> 00:19:24,385 Speaker 1: had on my list. You know, if I achieve all 424 00:19:24,385 --> 00:19:26,425 Speaker 1: these goals, you can go and buy this for yourself. 425 00:19:26,465 --> 00:19:28,585 Speaker 1: And I achieved it, and I didn't. Something was this 426 00:19:28,705 --> 00:19:30,865 Speaker 1: massive block and I was like, I don't really want 427 00:19:30,905 --> 00:19:33,825 Speaker 1: to schnellback. And I actually ended up buying a Seed 428 00:19:33,865 --> 00:19:36,985 Speaker 1: handbag and I just thought it. It was just the most 429 00:19:37,025 --> 00:19:39,545 Speaker 1: gorgeous bag and I just thought it was fabulous and 430 00:19:39,585 --> 00:19:43,145 Speaker 1: that gave me just as much fulfillment as a Chnell Absolutely. 431 00:19:43,185 --> 00:19:45,345 Speaker 4: I actually shout out to Seed. I bought one of 432 00:19:45,385 --> 00:19:49,505 Speaker 4: their little canvas shoulder bags. Actually it's more of a crossbody. 433 00:19:49,905 --> 00:19:51,825 Speaker 4: A few months back, it would have been like six 434 00:19:51,865 --> 00:19:54,225 Speaker 4: months ago, and it's my day bag I use every 435 00:19:54,265 --> 00:19:57,385 Speaker 4: almost every single day when I'm like out and about. 436 00:19:57,785 --> 00:19:59,945 Speaker 4: It's one of my favorite little little throw on and 437 00:19:59,985 --> 00:20:01,665 Speaker 4: go bags. And it was I think it was about 438 00:20:01,665 --> 00:20:04,745 Speaker 4: one hundred dollars maybe or maybe less. So that was 439 00:20:04,745 --> 00:20:05,545 Speaker 4: a good investment. 440 00:20:05,745 --> 00:20:07,265 Speaker 1: I walked past Seed the other day that go was 441 00:20:07,265 --> 00:20:08,905 Speaker 1: some beautiful pieces this season. 442 00:20:09,225 --> 00:20:10,705 Speaker 3: Yeah they are good. 443 00:20:11,025 --> 00:20:14,745 Speaker 4: Okay, talk me through some common mistakes that people might 444 00:20:14,825 --> 00:20:18,545 Speaker 4: make when they're trying to quote unquote shop smarter that 445 00:20:18,665 --> 00:20:20,625 Speaker 4: might actually end up costing them more money in the 446 00:20:20,625 --> 00:20:21,185 Speaker 4: long run. 447 00:20:21,505 --> 00:20:23,985 Speaker 1: I would say time. You know, I think a lot 448 00:20:23,985 --> 00:20:26,185 Speaker 1: of us, including myself, you know, when we're busy, we 449 00:20:26,305 --> 00:20:30,385 Speaker 1: try and rush things. But slow down, press pause, enjoy 450 00:20:30,465 --> 00:20:35,225 Speaker 1: the process of redoing your wardrobe. You know, think things 451 00:20:35,305 --> 00:20:38,985 Speaker 1: through pores. You know, I actually got my colors redone 452 00:20:39,105 --> 00:20:42,905 Speaker 1: recently and that was just fantastic. This woman, Lauren, you know, 453 00:20:42,945 --> 00:20:44,545 Speaker 1: she made me take off all my makeup. I held 454 00:20:44,625 --> 00:20:46,665 Speaker 1: up all these color swabs next to my skin, and 455 00:20:47,585 --> 00:20:49,545 Speaker 1: whilst I already had a feeling about was what my 456 00:20:49,625 --> 00:20:52,625 Speaker 1: colors were, she gave me this amazing sense of confidence 457 00:20:52,945 --> 00:20:55,985 Speaker 1: to go and experiment with colors I would never even 458 00:20:56,105 --> 00:20:56,945 Speaker 1: dreamt of doing. 459 00:20:57,145 --> 00:20:59,265 Speaker 4: Wow, can you just like quickly give us a little 460 00:20:59,265 --> 00:21:01,665 Speaker 4: wrap up? Like what did you discover? Does there anything 461 00:21:01,705 --> 00:21:02,345 Speaker 4: surprise you? 462 00:21:02,665 --> 00:21:05,905 Speaker 1: I'm a summer color, but I'm neutral and I have 463 00:21:06,185 --> 00:21:10,825 Speaker 1: cool undertones, but also neutral. So for me, like burgundies 464 00:21:11,145 --> 00:21:13,185 Speaker 1: are a really great color because red eyes, so it 465 00:21:13,265 --> 00:21:16,345 Speaker 1: makes my eyes pop. It was great. So slow down, like, 466 00:21:16,425 --> 00:21:18,665 Speaker 1: don't rush out and try and buy your whole entire 467 00:21:18,705 --> 00:21:21,305 Speaker 1: wardrobe in one big hit or over like a week. 468 00:21:22,105 --> 00:21:25,705 Speaker 1: Enjoy the process. Stop and think about what you need, 469 00:21:25,785 --> 00:21:28,505 Speaker 1: what you really like, what you need, what you've already got. 470 00:21:29,265 --> 00:21:31,865 Speaker 1: And I find that myself, the less I shop, the 471 00:21:31,865 --> 00:21:34,465 Speaker 1: more enjoyable it is, especially when you think about the 472 00:21:34,505 --> 00:21:38,065 Speaker 1: dopamine hit from shopping, because for me, it's the you know, 473 00:21:38,105 --> 00:21:41,025 Speaker 1: the delayed gratification, you know, going, Okay, I need a 474 00:21:41,025 --> 00:21:43,145 Speaker 1: new white singlet. Do you think I've got on Broughd 475 00:21:43,145 --> 00:21:45,105 Speaker 1: a white siglette? No, And that's probably part of my 476 00:21:45,145 --> 00:21:49,065 Speaker 1: ADHD problem. But I'm really enjoying the process of actually going, 477 00:21:49,065 --> 00:21:51,065 Speaker 1: hang on, no, no, no, what do I actually like 478 00:21:51,105 --> 00:21:53,985 Speaker 1: from a white singlet? Because not just any white singlet 479 00:21:54,065 --> 00:21:55,585 Speaker 1: will do. I want a white singlet that I can 480 00:21:55,745 --> 00:21:58,825 Speaker 1: wash thirty times and it still looks great. I wanted 481 00:21:58,905 --> 00:22:01,505 Speaker 1: a single that's quite low cut, but not too low cut. 482 00:22:01,545 --> 00:22:04,185 Speaker 1: I want it to be slim fitting and loose. I 483 00:22:04,185 --> 00:22:05,825 Speaker 1: don't want it to be tight. I definitely don't want 484 00:22:05,865 --> 00:22:09,185 Speaker 1: to think it's polyester, And actually I'm enjoying the whole process. 485 00:22:09,185 --> 00:22:11,745 Speaker 1: I feel no obligation to go and spend a whole 486 00:22:11,785 --> 00:22:14,225 Speaker 1: pile of money and waste money. I'm really enjoying the 487 00:22:14,225 --> 00:22:19,465 Speaker 1: process of actually analyzing and asking friends and looking online. 488 00:22:19,585 --> 00:22:22,705 Speaker 1: And that's to me as much more enjoyable. When I 489 00:22:22,705 --> 00:22:25,345 Speaker 1: do eventually find the white sigarette that I'm looking for, 490 00:22:25,945 --> 00:22:27,745 Speaker 1: it's going to be a much bigger dopamine hit that 491 00:22:27,745 --> 00:22:30,185 Speaker 1: will give me far more satisfaction and last a lot longer. 492 00:22:42,025 --> 00:22:45,065 Speaker 1: It's very expensive, Damney, how wondre these? 493 00:22:47,465 --> 00:22:48,705 Speaker 3: I think we need to move along? 494 00:22:48,905 --> 00:22:52,105 Speaker 4: We have reached our favorite segment where we share our 495 00:22:52,145 --> 00:22:55,025 Speaker 4: bougie and budget fines.

I really want to 509 00:23:36,385 --> 00:23:38,705 Speaker 1: get you a present. And you know you're both as 510 00:23:38,705 --> 00:23:40,705 Speaker 1: around the corner and you've been doing all this sort 511 00:23:40,705 --> 00:23:42,985 Speaker 1: of work on your own, like carrying the thought back 512 00:23:43,025 --> 00:23:45,505 Speaker 1: at home. So I was initially I was like, oh no, 513 00:23:45,625 --> 00:23:47,865 Speaker 1: to'd be silly if that's ridiculous amounts of money. And 514 00:23:47,865 --> 00:23:49,945 Speaker 1: I anly like really expensive hairbags. He's like, yeah, I 515 00:23:49,985 --> 00:23:53,145 Speaker 1: know this is it doesn't happen, like this is your 516 00:23:53,185 --> 00:23:56,025 Speaker 1: one or two opportunities. I was like, hey, yes, we're going. Now. 517 00:23:56,065 --> 00:23:58,905 Speaker 1: If you shop in Japan, you actually get the tax 518 00:23:59,025 --> 00:24:01,985 Speaker 1: back on the spot, like in the store or really 519 00:24:02,025 --> 00:24:03,745 Speaker 1: you just make sure you take your wherever you go 520 00:24:03,825 --> 00:24:06,945 Speaker 1: shopping and this includes like Zara as well, take your 521 00:24:07,025 --> 00:24:09,385 Speaker 1: past what with you because then on the spot you 522 00:24:09,785 --> 00:24:12,865 Speaker 1: get the tax refund hied to the transaction. So the 523 00:24:12,905 --> 00:24:15,585 Speaker 1: Australian dollar was very strong, the yen was not so strong, 524 00:24:15,625 --> 00:24:17,465 Speaker 1: so I was able to get it at about twenty 525 00:24:17,465 --> 00:24:20,145 Speaker 1: percent cheap within the full retail price, which was brilliant. 526 00:24:20,665 --> 00:24:24,105 Speaker 1: And it is so pretty. I love it. God. 527 00:24:24,105 --> 00:24:25,785 Speaker 4: The last thing my husband bought for me that was 528 00:24:25,825 --> 00:24:28,465 Speaker 4: a present was a bag of chocolate bullets from the supermarket. 529 00:24:28,545 --> 00:24:29,985 Speaker 3: He's going to have to lift his game. 530 00:24:31,225 --> 00:24:33,705 Speaker 4: Okay, all right, we've talked about your bougie. You have 531 00:24:33,825 --> 00:24:36,225 Speaker 4: come correct. That is a great boogie. But what about 532 00:24:36,305 --> 00:24:38,425 Speaker 4: your budget. I'm just dying to hear. 533 00:24:38,305 --> 00:24:41,705 Speaker 1: What this is. Oh, it's good, it's very good. Target 534 00:24:42,385 --> 00:24:46,105 Speaker 1: first purchase was a pair of plate front, wide leg 535 00:24:46,505 --> 00:24:49,745 Speaker 1: slouchy jeans. They looked very much like the you know, 536 00:24:49,785 --> 00:24:52,505 Speaker 1: they'd come out of Basic. I've had so many people 537 00:24:52,585 --> 00:24:56,785 Speaker 1: ask me about these jeans. They were fifty dollars from Target. Amazing, 538 00:24:56,985 --> 00:24:59,625 Speaker 1: so good. And then the other thing I got from 539 00:24:59,665 --> 00:25:03,705 Speaker 1: Target was this neoprene bag. Now I have wanted a 540 00:25:03,745 --> 00:25:07,385 Speaker 1: Nangetti bag for about three years. I really go and 541 00:25:07,465 --> 00:25:10,745 Speaker 1: visit it at the Basic store. Gorgeous, but they're you know, 542 00:25:10,905 --> 00:25:13,545 Speaker 1: four hundred dollars or four hundred and forty dollars, and 543 00:25:13,585 --> 00:25:15,465 Speaker 1: I've been searching to try and buy them on the 544 00:25:15,505 --> 00:25:17,625 Speaker 1: circular economy as well. But they one of those bags 545 00:25:17,625 --> 00:25:19,745 Speaker 1: that actually really holds their value. You can't buy them. 546 00:25:19,905 --> 00:25:21,825 Speaker 1: They're really how to find, and if you do find 547 00:25:21,825 --> 00:25:24,545 Speaker 1: them online on the circular economy, they're close to their 548 00:25:24,545 --> 00:25:27,785 Speaker 1: full retail price sometimes actually right, which is really random. 549 00:25:28,265 --> 00:25:31,785 Speaker 1: So I went to brunch with my two girlfriends who 550 00:25:31,785 --> 00:25:33,545 Speaker 1: I hadn't seen ages, and she had the bag and 551 00:25:33,545 --> 00:25:35,945 Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my god. And she's like, no, no, no, no, 552 00:25:36,625 --> 00:25:39,065 Speaker 1: don't waste your money. Go to Target. I'm like, what 553 00:25:39,105 --> 00:25:41,505 Speaker 1: are you talking about. She's like, she had the Nanngetti one. 554 00:25:41,545 --> 00:25:45,625 Speaker 1: She's like, I actually have the black Target They're identical. No, 555 00:25:45,945 --> 00:25:49,745 Speaker 1: And I was like, really, you know, and I'm not, 556 00:25:50,145 --> 00:25:53,385 Speaker 1: you know, I'm very careful for the whole issue. I 557 00:25:53,625 --> 00:25:56,625 Speaker 1: ordered it and I am very happy with my I 558 00:25:56,665 --> 00:25:59,745 Speaker 1: think it was fifty dollars as well, purchased from Target. 559 00:26:00,065 --> 00:26:02,905 Speaker 4: That's a hot tip. Okay, I'm going to move on 560 00:26:02,945 --> 00:26:07,665 Speaker 4: to my bougie. So I have found this beautiful skirt 561 00:26:07,785 --> 00:26:10,265 Speaker 4: at We talked about Seed before, so this is also 562 00:26:10,265 --> 00:26:14,305 Speaker 4: from Seed. It's the Heritage Denim circle skirt in the 563 00:26:14,345 --> 00:26:17,345 Speaker 4: color of vanilla cream. It's one hundred and thirty nine 564 00:26:17,505 --> 00:26:19,745 Speaker 4: ninety five, so it's a bit more of a spend 565 00:26:19,785 --> 00:26:22,825 Speaker 4: on a basic skirt, but I love the silhouette. I 566 00:26:22,905 --> 00:26:25,785 Speaker 4: really love this style because it hits that circle skirt 567 00:26:25,865 --> 00:26:29,985 Speaker 4: trend that we're seeing while maintaining some structure through the silhouette. 568 00:26:29,985 --> 00:26:32,505 Speaker 4: It doesn't feel too like boho or flowy, which is 569 00:26:32,545 --> 00:26:35,265 Speaker 4: really not my vibe, especially when it comes to like bottoms. 570 00:26:35,905 --> 00:26:38,065 Speaker 4: I like a little bit of structure, and it's a 571 00:26:38,105 --> 00:26:41,865 Speaker 4: really versatile cream color. I'm loving anything in white or 572 00:26:41,905 --> 00:26:44,625 Speaker 4: cream denim. You just shouted out to the Target jeens, 573 00:26:44,625 --> 00:26:46,625 Speaker 4: which are in the white. I love a bit of 574 00:26:46,705 --> 00:26:48,705 Speaker 4: cream at the moment, and I think you could just 575 00:26:48,745 --> 00:26:51,745 Speaker 4: wear this skirt with so many things, from a simple 576 00:26:51,865 --> 00:26:54,465 Speaker 4: tank to a nice oversize it at the top. 577 00:26:54,665 --> 00:26:57,025 Speaker 1: Note to self, I'm going to be googling this tonight 578 00:26:57,105 --> 00:26:57,545 Speaker 1: on the sea. 579 00:26:57,945 --> 00:27:00,945 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's really I could see you wearing this for sure, Hannah. 580 00:27:01,945 --> 00:27:04,185 Speaker 4: We've talked a bit about bags too.
