So thank you. Today's a big topic and 25 00:01:36,185 --> 00:01:38,625 Speaker 1: one I think a lot of people need me included. 26 00:01:38,705 --> 00:01:43,065 Speaker 1: But first, a couple of questions. Do you have something 27 00:01:43,105 --> 00:01:45,185 Speaker 1: that comes to mind when I ask about your biggest 28 00:01:45,225 --> 00:01:47,345 Speaker 1: fashion purchase? I do. 29 00:01:47,465 --> 00:01:51,385 Speaker 2: Actually it's my vintage Chanel bag that. 30 00:01:51,545 --> 00:01:54,665 Speaker 1: Did you get in Japan? Yes, I remember some My god, 31 00:01:54,745 --> 00:01:58,025 Speaker 1: it's like you're at TV show I watch. I was 32 00:01:58,105 --> 00:02:00,065 Speaker 1: so invested. Please share. Okay. 33 00:02:00,105 --> 00:02:03,145 Speaker 2: So I was in Osaka in twenty seventeen and I 34 00:02:03,225 --> 00:02:05,785 Speaker 2: had no idea that day. I've been a long time, 35 00:02:05,865 --> 00:02:08,545 Speaker 2: it's teen a long time. I had no idea that 36 00:02:08,825 --> 00:02:12,025 Speaker 2: there was a place called Orange Street in Asaka which 37 00:02:12,105 --> 00:02:16,625 Speaker 2: has all of these vintage handbags and items. And Japan's 38 00:02:16,705 --> 00:02:20,985 Speaker 2: quite known for having good quality vintage pieces. And someone 39 00:02:21,025 --> 00:02:24,105 Speaker 2: DMed me and said you're going to Orange Street right? 40 00:02:24,345 --> 00:02:28,585 Speaker 2: And then I wasn't, but I did, and there it was. 41 00:02:28,985 --> 00:02:33,185 Speaker 2: I found this one. It was just the medium fla classic. 42 00:02:32,905 --> 00:02:35,505 Speaker 1: And back then, I mean that's an investment, it's basically 43 00:02:35,545 --> 00:02:39,065 Speaker 1: like you bought shares were a lot, I do. 44 00:02:39,185 --> 00:02:41,665 Speaker 2: I do use her a lot. That's how I kind 45 00:02:41,705 --> 00:02:45,545 Speaker 2: of positioned it to my then boyfriend now husband. But 46 00:02:45,625 --> 00:02:47,705 Speaker 2: I said, this is going to go up in value 47 00:02:48,065 --> 00:02:48,705 Speaker 2: and what that was? 48 00:02:48,745 --> 00:02:49,625 Speaker 1: What eight years ago? 49 00:02:49,865 --> 00:02:50,385 Speaker 2: Seven? 50 00:02:50,545 --> 00:02:50,945 Speaker 1: Wow? 51 00:02:50,945 --> 00:02:52,345 Speaker 2: Good on you, thank you. 52 00:02:52,465 --> 00:02:54,905 Speaker 1: She's a dream for me. Another quick question before we 53 00:02:54,905 --> 00:02:58,345 Speaker 1: get into the topic, who, if anyone, or what is 54 00:02:58,385 --> 00:02:59,545 Speaker 1: your style muse? 55 00:03:01,225 --> 00:03:06,825 Speaker 2: I would say I have style news brands, so Dish 56 00:03:07,745 --> 00:03:11,465 Speaker 2: comes to mind. I'm actually wearing Dish today and also 57 00:03:11,545 --> 00:03:16,345 Speaker 2: odd Muse, which is a British brand doing big things. 58 00:03:16,865 --> 00:03:20,905 Speaker 2: Both brands have very classic, timeless styles that mix and 59 00:03:20,985 --> 00:03:23,865 Speaker 2: match in with their previous seasons as well. So I 60 00:03:24,025 --> 00:03:24,945 Speaker 2: love that ethos. 61 00:03:25,385 --> 00:03:27,705 Speaker 1: I love coming at it from a brand perspective that's 62 00:03:27,825 --> 00:03:30,785 Speaker 1: very fresh, and it feels less tunnel vision than a 63 00:03:30,825 --> 00:03:32,825 Speaker 1: person if that makes sense. It's a little bit more broad, 64 00:03:32,825 --> 00:03:34,305 Speaker 1: but still you get a picture in your. 65 00:03:34,265 --> 00:03:38,425 Speaker 2: Head exactly, and brands are starting to storytell. 66 00:03:38,025 --> 00:03:41,225 Speaker 1: Yes and have some personality exactly. Now, Tina, I want 67 00:03:41,225 --> 00:03:43,385 Speaker 1: to set the scene for anyone that doesn't know you. You've 68 00:03:43,265 --> 00:03:46,785 Speaker 1: been on the show a losh and you are obviously. 69 00:03:46,905 --> 00:03:48,785 Speaker 1: I mean, I feel like I followed you a long 70 00:03:48,825 --> 00:03:51,505 Speaker 1: time before. The Japanese have known you for a We 71 00:03:51,585 --> 00:03:53,185 Speaker 1: have known each other for a long time. But you 72 00:03:53,345 --> 00:03:55,985 Speaker 1: started when you had a day job on Instagram as 73 00:03:56,025 --> 00:03:59,265 Speaker 1: Trash to Treasured, and you were all about helping people 74 00:03:59,305 --> 00:04:01,625 Speaker 1: buy great affordable clothing. Was it under one hundred and 75 00:04:01,665 --> 00:04:04,425 Speaker 1: fifty dollars? Was that your caveat? Yes, and you've evolved 76 00:04:04,465 --> 00:04:06,185 Speaker 1: over time and you're here to talk about that a 77 00:04:06,185 --> 00:04:11,105 Speaker 1: little bit. But did you ever come up against people thinking, well, 78 00:04:11,185 --> 00:04:13,825 Speaker 1: everything's under one hundred and fifty, so trash to Treasure, 79 00:04:13,825 --> 00:04:17,385 Speaker 1: it's all about fast fashion, crappy quality, blah blah blah. 80 00:04:17,425 --> 00:04:19,145 Speaker 1: I had a friend saying, you know, is that Teina 81 00:04:19,145 --> 00:04:21,025 Speaker 1: girl all about fast fashion? This was ten years ago? 82 00:04:21,105 --> 00:04:24,185 Speaker 1: But how did that start? And tell us that it 83 00:04:24,265 --> 00:04:25,905 Speaker 1: wasn't And where's the evelation taking you? 84 00:04:26,625 --> 00:04:29,145 Speaker 2: Well, the way it started was I didn't have a 85 00:04:29,145 --> 00:04:32,225 Speaker 2: lot of disposable income and I just started my big 86 00:04:32,225 --> 00:04:35,305 Speaker 2: girl job in my career back then, and I needed 87 00:04:35,345 --> 00:04:37,985 Speaker 2: to look the part, and so I was looking for 88 00:04:38,065 --> 00:04:42,265 Speaker 2: items that I could wear multiple times to work. But 89 00:04:42,305 --> 00:04:44,625 Speaker 2: it wasn't going to blow the budget either, So I 90 00:04:44,665 --> 00:04:47,505 Speaker 2: started to get really savvy about cuts and colors that 91 00:04:47,545 --> 00:04:52,065 Speaker 2: went together that looked expensive but weren't really. And then 92 00:04:52,065 --> 00:04:55,065 Speaker 2: I started to get invested in fabrics and start learning 93 00:04:55,145 --> 00:04:57,425 Speaker 2: about all of that, and just started to learn how 94 00:04:57,465 --> 00:04:59,545 Speaker 2: do you actually wear pieces day to day. It's all 95 00:04:59,545 --> 00:05:01,545 Speaker 2: well and good if it's on a mannequin and all 96 00:05:01,585 --> 00:05:03,385 Speaker 2: of that, and or if it was on sale, but 97 00:05:03,705 --> 00:05:05,825 Speaker 2: how does it live? Like, how does it move with you? 98 00:05:06,065 --> 00:05:08,825 Speaker 1: Yes? And how do you keep it and keep wearing it? 99 00:05:08,905 --> 00:05:11,745 Speaker 1: And just because it's affordable, you can find good quality. 100 00:05:11,745 --> 00:05:13,625 Speaker 1: And I've always loved following you for that. It's been 101 00:05:13,665 --> 00:05:17,025 Speaker 1: such an inspiration. So your approach to fashion is all 102 00:05:17,065 --> 00:05:21,065 Speaker 1: about being intentional, and this is important more than ever. 103 00:05:21,905 --> 00:05:26,225 Speaker 1: What are some common mistakes people make me when shopping 104 00:05:26,265 --> 00:05:29,465 Speaker 1: for clothes and how can they shop smarter when they're 105 00:05:29,465 --> 00:05:32,985 Speaker 1: not being intentional? For example, I'm an emotional shopper, an 106 00:05:33,025 --> 00:05:36,105 Speaker 1: impulse shopper, So how do we be more intentional? And 107 00:05:36,145 --> 00:05:38,025 Speaker 1: what are the mistakes people are making when they're not 108 00:05:38,105 --> 00:05:38,945 Speaker 1: thinking with intention? 109 00:05:39,705 --> 00:05:43,705 Speaker 2: So speaking to your point, like you know you've identified 110 00:05:43,745 --> 00:05:47,145 Speaker 2: that you're emotional shopper, I would say, you know, scratch 111 00:05:47,225 --> 00:05:48,105 Speaker 2: that itch. 112 00:05:47,865 --> 00:05:51,065 Speaker 1: Yes if it's a bit or pop a few things 113 00:05:51,105 --> 00:05:54,625 Speaker 1: in a bag confronting to you know, go, well, what's 114 00:05:54,665 --> 00:05:56,025 Speaker 1: going on? Why am I doing that? 115 00:05:56,265 --> 00:05:58,225 Speaker 2: But you know, pop a few things in a bag 116 00:05:58,305 --> 00:06:01,545 Speaker 2: and give yourself twenty four hours. Yes, because I did 117 00:06:01,545 --> 00:06:03,985 Speaker 2: this last year. I wanted to test myself because I 118 00:06:04,185 --> 00:06:07,425 Speaker 2: had moved countries and I felt really lonely. 119 00:06:07,185 --> 00:06:08,705 Speaker 1: And yeah, you were going through it. 120 00:06:08,785 --> 00:06:09,545 Speaker 2: I was going through it. 121 00:06:09,745 --> 00:06:11,305 Speaker 1: They call it retail therapy for a reason. 122 00:06:11,425 --> 00:06:13,905 Speaker 2: Exactly. So I was buying a lot of stuff I 123 00:06:13,945 --> 00:06:16,225 Speaker 2: just didn't need, and I had easy access to Amazon, 124 00:06:16,345 --> 00:06:17,225 Speaker 2: and it was. 125 00:06:17,345 --> 00:06:20,185 Speaker 1: Like retail in America, like it's hard to say. 126 00:06:19,945 --> 00:06:23,665 Speaker 2: No, exactly. I identified that I was doing it as well. 127 00:06:23,945 --> 00:06:25,905 Speaker 2: So I started a list on my notes app on 128 00:06:25,905 --> 00:06:27,905 Speaker 2: my phone. So every time I saw something, I just 129 00:06:27,945 --> 00:06:30,625 Speaker 2: like save the link. It gave me this comfort that 130 00:06:30,665 --> 00:06:31,625 Speaker 2: I wasn't going to lose it. 131 00:06:31,705 --> 00:06:32,665 Speaker 1: Yeah, you wouldn't forget. 132 00:06:32,705 --> 00:06:35,065 Speaker 2: I wouldn't forget. I've got it in my notes app. 133 00:06:35,705 --> 00:06:37,945 Speaker 2: And then you know, I never went back. I think 134 00:06:37,945 --> 00:06:40,465 Speaker 2: I bought one thing off that list of twenty that 135 00:06:40,505 --> 00:06:42,425 Speaker 2: I saved over a couple of weeks. 136 00:06:42,585 --> 00:06:46,745 Speaker 1: Yes, And so did that reinforce to you that intentional 137 00:06:46,785 --> 00:06:49,105 Speaker 1: is important? And then the things that are intentional in 138 00:06:49,145 --> 00:06:51,545 Speaker 1: your wardrobe do you wear the most? 139 00:06:52,265 --> 00:06:55,065 Speaker 2: Yes? So I would say the other way to combat 140 00:06:55,105 --> 00:06:58,265 Speaker 2: this is if you're looking at a piece, always think 141 00:06:58,305 --> 00:07:00,225 Speaker 2: how can I style it three ways? 142 00:07:00,345 --> 00:07:02,065 Speaker 1: Yes? I wanted to ask that you've got the rule 143 00:07:02,185 --> 00:07:05,225 Speaker 1: of three? Is that wearing an item three different ways 144 00:07:05,225 --> 00:07:06,385 Speaker 1: before you purchase. 145 00:07:06,505 --> 00:07:07,265 Speaker 2: That's a styling. 146 00:07:07,425 --> 00:07:10,265 Speaker 1: That's a styling. Getting too that a second. So I'm 147 00:07:10,305 --> 00:07:14,385 Speaker 1: looking at this beautiful item online. You want me to think, 148 00:07:14,465 --> 00:07:16,945 Speaker 1: how can I wear that three different ways. 149 00:07:16,585 --> 00:07:21,065 Speaker 2: With something you already have? If you need to. For example, 150 00:07:21,105 --> 00:07:23,825 Speaker 2: I'm wearing C three pants right now, so I need 151 00:07:23,865 --> 00:07:27,545 Speaker 2: a longer shirt to kind of cover some areas. 152 00:07:27,625 --> 00:07:29,385 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you've still got the sheer going on. 153 00:07:29,345 --> 00:07:32,345 Speaker 2: But not flashing exactly. But I already have long shirts. 154 00:07:32,385 --> 00:07:33,945 Speaker 2: So I was like, you know what, this makes sense? 155 00:07:34,185 --> 00:07:37,185 Speaker 1: Yes? Okay, so how can you work it back with 156 00:07:37,225 --> 00:07:38,665 Speaker 1: the items you already own? 157 00:07:39,585 --> 00:07:41,905 Speaker 2: If you can justify it in three ways? I like 158 00:07:41,945 --> 00:07:43,225 Speaker 2: that you can go for it. 159 00:07:43,265 --> 00:07:45,585 Speaker 1: Okay. So that's how we can start to be more intentional. 160 00:07:45,825 --> 00:07:50,665 Speaker 1: Can you explain some styling rules or methods or are 161 00:07:50,665 --> 00:07:53,065 Speaker 1: their methodologies? You've got the two x two rule and 162 00:07:53,105 --> 00:07:55,385 Speaker 1: the rule of three. You must seem really good at maths. 163 00:07:56,425 --> 00:07:59,985 Speaker 2: My background is science, so I thought so, so I 164 00:08:00,065 --> 00:08:02,545 Speaker 2: think this is why I accidentally make formulas. 165 00:08:02,585 --> 00:08:05,185 Speaker 1: Well, my background is saying, oh that practically free, and 166 00:08:05,305 --> 00:08:08,385 Speaker 1: yeah it's not. So what are these formulas? How are 167 00:08:08,425 --> 00:08:10,745 Speaker 1: these frameworks going to help you? I don't like saying 168 00:08:10,745 --> 00:08:14,345 Speaker 1: their rules, their suggestions like a formula, because it kind 169 00:08:14,385 --> 00:08:15,745 Speaker 1: of helps you figure. 170 00:08:15,465 --> 00:08:18,505 Speaker 2: It out exactly. We need a framework and it really 171 00:08:18,545 --> 00:08:20,745 Speaker 2: helps us overcome the whole Oh my gosh, what do 172 00:08:20,825 --> 00:08:23,745 Speaker 2: I even put with this? Yes, so for two by 173 00:08:23,785 --> 00:08:25,825 Speaker 2: two I think I've spoken about it before, but it's 174 00:08:25,905 --> 00:08:27,585 Speaker 2: quite I come back to it a lot. But it's 175 00:08:27,665 --> 00:08:30,825 Speaker 2: two pieces of tailored and two pieces of casual, so 176 00:08:31,025 --> 00:08:33,305 Speaker 2: kind of like a tailored shirt. 177 00:08:33,425 --> 00:08:35,705 Speaker 1: And it's always both reminding going into a new season. 178 00:08:35,825 --> 00:08:38,505 Speaker 1: So we're just coming out of summer here, everyone's starting 179 00:08:38,505 --> 00:08:41,345 Speaker 1: to think autumn winter, all the new cloes eating stores. 180 00:08:41,385 --> 00:08:45,465 Speaker 1: So this is a good time to refresh on these methodologies, 181 00:08:45,505 --> 00:08:49,185 Speaker 1: these frameworks, because we might be thinking we might need 182 00:08:49,225 --> 00:08:50,345 Speaker 1: to go to the shops and get a few things, 183 00:08:50,345 --> 00:08:52,065 Speaker 1: but we want to be intentional. So remind me of 184 00:08:52,065 --> 00:08:55,465 Speaker 1: the two by two two so casual. 185 00:08:55,145 --> 00:08:59,465 Speaker 2: Two like tailored structured pieces and two more casual pieces, 186 00:08:59,505 --> 00:09:02,345 Speaker 2: and when you put that together, it actually gives a 187 00:09:02,385 --> 00:09:07,425 Speaker 2: really nice balanced look. So let's go. We give me 188 00:09:07,465 --> 00:09:10,865 Speaker 2: to say, say we're wearing our tailored pants to work 189 00:09:11,505 --> 00:09:14,345 Speaker 2: with a cotton T shirt at the moment. Yeap, cotton 190 00:09:14,425 --> 00:09:16,985 Speaker 2: T shirt is kind of more casual. Yep, you got 191 00:09:16,985 --> 00:09:19,945 Speaker 2: your tailt pants. Yes, Now we're going into autumns. 192 00:09:19,505 --> 00:09:20,505 Speaker 1: So let's add a layer. 193 00:09:20,705 --> 00:09:24,145 Speaker 2: So let's add something that is structured. So maybe like 194 00:09:24,145 --> 00:09:27,225 Speaker 2: a trench coat. All right, so you got your structure 195 00:09:27,225 --> 00:09:29,545 Speaker 2: and your tailored in your trench coat and then in 196 00:09:29,585 --> 00:09:32,665 Speaker 2: your tailored pants. Yes, So for your shoes, let's go 197 00:09:32,745 --> 00:09:35,305 Speaker 2: something fun, like a casual sniker, like a white sick 198 00:09:35,505 --> 00:09:37,345 Speaker 2: It's okay, can you imagine that? 199 00:09:37,425 --> 00:09:39,665 Speaker 1: I can? And as you're talking, I flipped it. I 200 00:09:39,705 --> 00:09:41,825 Speaker 1: was going to go like sort of a slouchy knit 201 00:09:42,105 --> 00:09:44,505 Speaker 1: that's a big casual, but with a loafer that's a 202 00:09:44,545 --> 00:09:45,265 Speaker 1: bit more struck. 203 00:09:45,345 --> 00:09:47,385 Speaker 2: Shit, yes, you get it. 204 00:09:47,585 --> 00:09:49,825 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, I feel like my brain's that clueless 205 00:09:50,025 --> 00:09:52,665 Speaker 1: outfit more droping. I've just thought of so many things. 206 00:09:52,785 --> 00:09:55,105 Speaker 2: That's how it is in my brain. Yeah, and this 207 00:09:55,225 --> 00:09:56,105 Speaker 2: is why I wrote this. 208 00:09:56,625 --> 00:09:59,865 Speaker 1: Okay, that's so helpful, particularly when you're like, I need 209 00:09:59,905 --> 00:10:02,185 Speaker 1: one more item, but I'm not sure because if you 210 00:10:02,265 --> 00:10:04,345 Speaker 1: go all two structure, it can look like you're going 211 00:10:04,345 --> 00:10:07,145 Speaker 1: to hectic corporate job if it's not, or you can 212 00:10:07,145 --> 00:10:09,505 Speaker 1: look to your casual Yes, now, remind me of the 213 00:10:09,665 --> 00:10:11,945 Speaker 1: all three because I've forgotten I was terrible at school. 214 00:10:12,905 --> 00:10:15,585 Speaker 2: The rule of three. It's more like add a third element. 215 00:10:15,625 --> 00:10:20,385 Speaker 2: So this is a very common design technique. So think 216 00:10:20,425 --> 00:10:22,625 Speaker 2: about your base. Now you've got your jeans and you've 217 00:10:22,625 --> 00:10:25,905 Speaker 2: got your T shirt. Let's add a third element that's 218 00:10:25,945 --> 00:10:31,225 Speaker 2: going to give the personality outfit. Okay, okay, so let's 219 00:10:31,265 --> 00:10:34,785 Speaker 2: go with that base. If you're more preppy, you might 220 00:10:34,785 --> 00:10:38,425 Speaker 2: add the blazer, like an oversized, slouchy blazer. If you're 221 00:10:38,505 --> 00:10:41,425 Speaker 2: more I don't know, edgy, you might go for like 222 00:10:41,425 --> 00:10:42,305 Speaker 2: a moto jacket. 223 00:10:42,385 --> 00:10:46,225 Speaker 1: Yeah, bomber a bomber, yeah exactly. You could do like 224 00:10:46,265 --> 00:10:50,145 Speaker 1: a really colorful cardigan if you're maya yes exactly, sequence 225 00:10:51,265 --> 00:10:52,065 Speaker 1: no exactly. 226 00:10:52,145 --> 00:10:54,705 Speaker 2: And so that way everyone can have the same base. 227 00:10:54,785 --> 00:10:57,825 Speaker 2: But then because you know your personal style, yes, you 228 00:10:57,865 --> 00:10:59,785 Speaker 2: add your little flare with that third piece. 229 00:10:59,865 --> 00:11:01,905 Speaker 1: It's kind of having bases you can fall back on 230 00:11:01,985 --> 00:11:05,265 Speaker 1: with personality, like the icing. Okay, I'm going to stop 231 00:11:05,345 --> 00:11:07,145 Speaker 1: ruining analogies. But I kind of like. 232 00:11:07,145 --> 00:11:09,865 Speaker 2: That that's exactly it, and we can talk about it 233 00:11:09,945 --> 00:11:13,425 Speaker 2: later as well. But you know, my intention is to 234 00:11:13,465 --> 00:11:17,985 Speaker 2: shift capsule to curated because that is and. 235 00:11:17,905 --> 00:11:21,665 Speaker 1: It's curated for you. Cor Ah Tina f like you're 236 00:11:21,665 --> 00:11:33,705 Speaker 1: an expert in this field. Now, I want to talk 237 00:11:33,785 --> 00:11:38,665 Speaker 1: fast fashion versus mindful investing because forgive me if I'm wrong, 238 00:11:38,705 --> 00:11:42,705 Speaker 1: but you're still about value and affordability. You know, I 239 00:11:42,705 --> 00:11:44,385 Speaker 1: don't think you've got one hundred and fifty dollars rule, 240 00:11:44,425 --> 00:11:46,505 Speaker 1: but I don't see you popping out to Gucci and 241 00:11:46,505 --> 00:11:49,705 Speaker 1: Amez on the daily, and I think there's a joy 242 00:11:49,785 --> 00:11:53,585 Speaker 1: in people finding it themselves and helping other people find affordable, 243 00:11:53,705 --> 00:11:57,585 Speaker 1: amazing items. How do we strike a balance between mindful 244 00:11:57,745 --> 00:12:02,585 Speaker 1: and intentional versus fast fashion? If you know, not everyone 245 00:12:02,625 --> 00:12:04,545 Speaker 1: has thousands and millions of dollars to spend on what 246 00:12:04,585 --> 00:12:06,385 Speaker 1: they wear. What do we do? 247 00:12:06,425 --> 00:12:08,665 Speaker 2: You have your budget and you know you work to 248 00:12:08,945 --> 00:12:09,625 Speaker 2: that budget. 249 00:12:10,105 --> 00:12:14,625 Speaker 1: Set a budget? We said, up, okay, no, Like I mean, 250 00:12:14,665 --> 00:12:17,785 Speaker 1: I do roughly, but I don't set aside time to 251 00:12:17,865 --> 00:12:19,665 Speaker 1: decide the budget of when I'm going to go shopping. 252 00:12:19,705 --> 00:12:23,305 Speaker 1: I'm just like, oh, it's thirty nine ninety five. Okay, okay, 253 00:12:23,505 --> 00:12:24,225 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. 254 00:12:24,305 --> 00:12:26,905 Speaker 2: When you see that, then that comes back to Okay, 255 00:12:27,105 --> 00:12:29,105 Speaker 2: why are you buying this? Is it going to pair 256 00:12:29,185 --> 00:12:32,465 Speaker 2: back with what you already have? Yes, The whole thing 257 00:12:32,465 --> 00:12:35,665 Speaker 2: with Presture Treasured was I was showing pieces that were affordable, 258 00:12:36,065 --> 00:12:38,745 Speaker 2: but I've had people just buying everything I was showing. 259 00:12:39,225 --> 00:12:42,025 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's not the point. That's not the point. I 260 00:12:42,105 --> 00:12:45,625 Speaker 1: get it. So we're still about affordability, but we're not 261 00:12:45,665 --> 00:12:47,905 Speaker 1: about fast fashioned burn and churn. We want to find 262 00:12:47,945 --> 00:12:51,145 Speaker 1: a good quality piece that we love that we can 263 00:12:51,545 --> 00:12:54,585 Speaker 1: wear enough in terms of quality and versatility for years 264 00:12:54,665 --> 00:12:58,065 Speaker 1: to come exactly. Let's talk about the capture wardrobe. I 265 00:12:58,145 --> 00:13:01,305 Speaker 1: agree the term capture wardrobe is overused, and I think 266 00:13:01,425 --> 00:13:05,065 Speaker 1: thanks to a lot of flat lay. We see white shirt, jeans, 267 00:13:05,185 --> 00:13:07,825 Speaker 1: trench coat, balet, flats or whatever, which is fine and 268 00:13:07,865 --> 00:13:10,105 Speaker 1: a lot of people like. But it's not cut and 269 00:13:10,105 --> 00:13:14,505 Speaker 1: paste for every single person. So we're talking curated wardrobe. 270 00:13:14,785 --> 00:13:16,545 Speaker 1: Talk to me about that, and how would you help 271 00:13:16,545 --> 00:13:20,545 Speaker 1: a client curate something? You know, everyone's different with clients. 272 00:13:20,585 --> 00:13:23,145 Speaker 1: We always start with a mood board session. I ask 273 00:13:23,225 --> 00:13:25,105 Speaker 1: a lot of questions and it's so much fun. 274 00:13:25,305 --> 00:13:28,465 Speaker 2: And when we do that, I can really see the 275 00:13:28,585 --> 00:13:31,505 Speaker 2: necklines that they're drawn to, the patterns, you know, patterns 276 00:13:31,585 --> 00:13:33,985 Speaker 2: or patterns like there can be big ones, small ones. Yeah, 277 00:13:34,065 --> 00:13:36,505 Speaker 2: and we see the textures that they're drawn to, so 278 00:13:36,825 --> 00:13:40,745 Speaker 2: that that is the essence of their style. So, for example, 279 00:13:40,745 --> 00:13:43,305 Speaker 2: I just had a client this week actually, and she's 280 00:13:43,425 --> 00:13:46,425 Speaker 2: not a plain white T shirt girl. She likes a 281 00:13:46,465 --> 00:13:50,665 Speaker 2: little bit of you know, interity, but she also works 282 00:13:50,665 --> 00:13:54,465 Speaker 2: in a corporate environment. So we found this beautiful saturn. 283 00:13:54,625 --> 00:13:57,225 Speaker 2: It's shaped like a white T shirt, but the fabric 284 00:13:57,625 --> 00:13:58,705 Speaker 2: is saturn. 285 00:13:58,745 --> 00:14:00,425 Speaker 1: So it's got a bit of personality, bit a point 286 00:14:00,425 --> 00:14:04,545 Speaker 1: of different exactly. Okay, And so everyone's capsule is different, 287 00:14:04,625 --> 00:14:07,185 Speaker 1: and then you can mix and match within your capsule 288 00:14:07,185 --> 00:14:10,865 Speaker 1: because it's harmonious to you exactly, not cut and paste. 289 00:14:11,225 --> 00:14:13,945 Speaker 1: So many women are stuck in a rut with their 290 00:14:13,985 --> 00:14:18,145 Speaker 1: wardrobes and just find it really overwhelming. Are there easy 291 00:14:18,185 --> 00:14:22,705 Speaker 1: ways to refresh your star without impulse buying? Please? 292 00:14:24,145 --> 00:14:26,825 Speaker 2: Okay, I've promised you less is more, but you need 293 00:14:26,905 --> 00:14:29,185 Speaker 2: to get rid of the things that are telling your 294 00:14:29,185 --> 00:14:31,025 Speaker 2: brain you have nothing to wear. 295 00:14:31,105 --> 00:14:34,385 Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, So we literally and emotionally can't see it 296 00:14:34,425 --> 00:14:36,465 Speaker 1: because you feel frustrated and overwhelmed. 297 00:14:36,545 --> 00:14:39,185 Speaker 2: Exactly. Our brains are actually trained to see things that 298 00:14:39,225 --> 00:14:41,905 Speaker 2: are wrong, because our brains are there to keep us safe, right, 299 00:14:41,985 --> 00:14:43,985 Speaker 2: So it just sees all the things that are wrong. 300 00:14:44,545 --> 00:14:46,865 Speaker 2: So if you've got a whole bunch of things hanging 301 00:14:46,865 --> 00:14:49,025 Speaker 2: in your wardrobe, and you've got some really great pieces 302 00:14:49,025 --> 00:14:52,225 Speaker 2: in there, but they're amongst the things that you hate. 303 00:14:52,065 --> 00:14:54,785 Speaker 1: That so much sands like primarily pretty much. 304 00:14:54,665 --> 00:14:58,065 Speaker 2: Yes, exactly, you will just always look at your wardrobe 305 00:14:58,105 --> 00:14:59,665 Speaker 2: and say, oh my gosh, I have nothing to wear. 306 00:14:59,745 --> 00:15:02,065 Speaker 1: Okay, all right, so instead of going I've got nothing 307 00:15:02,105 --> 00:15:04,425 Speaker 1: to wear.

But we don't often go to a 388 00:18:33,865 --> 00:18:36,425 Speaker 1: birthday party or an event seven days a week. So 389 00:18:36,505 --> 00:18:40,105 Speaker 1: how do we suggest people dress themselves to those without 390 00:18:40,145 --> 00:18:41,945 Speaker 1: ending up with the wardrobe of stuff. Therefore once or 391 00:18:41,945 --> 00:18:42,625 Speaker 1: going to wear once. 392 00:18:42,825 --> 00:18:46,305 Speaker 2: Hiring is a big thing right now, beautiful dresses that 393 00:18:46,345 --> 00:18:48,785 Speaker 2: you can get.

It was to show you that you 419 00:19:57,905 --> 00:20:00,465 Speaker 2: don't have to spend a lot to look good. And 420 00:20:00,545 --> 00:20:03,945 Speaker 2: even under that name, I had my e book called 421 00:20:03,985 --> 00:20:07,345 Speaker 2: Pickwell Style Often, Yeah, which the whole ethos is teaching 422 00:20:07,425 --> 00:20:10,585 Speaker 2: how to shop well dressed well all of that. 423 00:20:11,065 --> 00:20:12,825 Speaker 1: I mean, I feel like you've always had the same 424 00:20:12,905 --> 00:20:14,865 Speaker 1: mission and same purpose, but now you're just making it 425 00:20:14,905 --> 00:20:17,825 Speaker 1: crystal clear correct.

I've got two items that I'm going to 444 00:21:23,625 --> 00:21:25,905 Speaker 1: try and get the teena tick of approval. Okay, because 445 00:21:25,945 --> 00:21:30,625 Speaker 1: I'm being intentional. You've got too that you've already bought, yes, 446 00:21:30,625 --> 00:21:32,865 Speaker 1: that were intentional, or that you've got enough wear out 447 00:21:32,865 --> 00:21:35,385 Speaker 1: of yes.

It's a Tanny Camel swayed. 457 00:22:04,225 --> 00:22:07,985 Speaker 1: My question is Swayede makes me nervous because it's warm, 458 00:22:08,065 --> 00:22:13,105 Speaker 1: but I'm not great with care of my things. Do 459 00:22:13,145 --> 00:22:15,465 Speaker 1: you think that Swayed for me in terms of a 460 00:22:15,585 --> 00:22:19,065 Speaker 1: jacket might be a bit too optimistic. 461 00:22:19,705 --> 00:22:21,385 Speaker 2: Yes, I think so too. 462 00:22:22,065 --> 00:22:24,305 Speaker 1: I want to be her, yes, but I think I 463 00:22:24,425 --> 00:22:25,665 Speaker 1: might be a faux suede. 464 00:22:25,985 --> 00:22:29,305 Speaker 2: Yes, you have to think of aftercare.

Yes. Okay, so that was 469 00:22:39,065 --> 00:22:40,865 Speaker 1: very intentional thought process. 470 00:22:40,625 --> 00:22:42,185 Speaker 2: That you know you already know. 471 00:22:42,345 --> 00:22:44,985 Speaker 1: Can you tell me about your budget that you are 472 00:22:45,025 --> 00:22:46,145 Speaker 1: wearing or have purchased? 473 00:22:46,225 --> 00:22:49,185 Speaker 2: Okay, so my budget?

It's by Pollen, which is 498 00:23:51,905 --> 00:23:56,945 Speaker 1: a French brand that has just been acquired by LVMH. 499 00:23:57,025 --> 00:23:59,425 Speaker 1: So I think the value is going to go up. 500 00:23:59,585 --> 00:24:00,385 Speaker 2: Okay, all right. 501 00:24:00,465 --> 00:24:05,625 Speaker 1: It's the numeral nerf textured torp. Let me justify her 502 00:24:05,665 --> 00:24:08,345 Speaker 1: to you. She's eight hundred and eighty dollars, but it's 503 00:24:08,345 --> 00:24:12,105 Speaker 1: a good size. There's a million colors, and I've really deliberated. 504 00:24:12,345 --> 00:24:15,185 Speaker 1: I've got like a off white bag. I don't wear 505 00:24:15,305 --> 00:24:19,265 Speaker 1: black really, so I think the torp is very flexible. 506 00:24:19,305 --> 00:24:21,585 Speaker 1: I wanted the chocolate brown, but I think that doesn't 507 00:24:21,625 --> 00:24:23,825 Speaker 1: go with enough of my wardrobe and it's too like 508 00:24:23,865 --> 00:24:26,705 Speaker 1: it's very trendy. It's also a classic, but I'm a torp. 509 00:24:27,585 --> 00:24:29,905 Speaker 1: You can carry this as a handbag, you can carry 510 00:24:29,945 --> 00:24:32,425 Speaker 1: it as a crossbody. It's big enough to fit like 511 00:24:32,505 --> 00:24:34,985 Speaker 1: your day to day life laptop. 512 00:24:35,585 --> 00:24:38,745 Speaker 2: No, okay, does it zip at the top? 513 00:24:39,065 --> 00:24:41,585 Speaker 1: No? Let me show you some photo. 514 00:24:41,625 --> 00:24:43,065 Speaker 2: It's a bucket bag essentially. 515 00:24:43,065 --> 00:24:46,945 Speaker 1: It's a bucket bag, handbag, cross body bag, zip interior, pocket, 516 00:24:47,065 --> 00:24:50,465 Speaker 1: good keys, everything good, magnetic clothure. I've watched on a 517 00:24:50,505 --> 00:24:55,145 Speaker 1: YouTube and it's like really strong, okay, and it is 518 00:24:55,225 --> 00:25:00,705 Speaker 1: made of leather and it's really nice. 519 00:25:01,345 --> 00:25:02,225 Speaker 2: It's a yes from me. 520 00:25:02,425 --> 00:25:09,345 Speaker 1: Yeah, I already pre ordered. But Tina, I can tell 521 00:25:09,385 --> 00:25:11,465 Speaker 1: you I have looked at this bag, moll that I've 522 00:25:11,465 --> 00:25:13,145 Speaker 1: looked at anything in my whole life.
