I'll touch 172 00:07:08,794 --> 00:07:12,594 Speaker 4: back on if I could do it again because that Yeah, 173 00:07:12,594 --> 00:07:15,154 Speaker 4: but we walked around for like eight nine hours and 174 00:07:15,154 --> 00:07:17,354 Speaker 4: when we went into every single not every single tailor, 175 00:07:17,393 --> 00:07:18,953 Speaker 4: because there's like thousands. 176 00:07:18,514 --> 00:07:20,674 Speaker 1: Of failers who looked your vibe. 177 00:07:20,794 --> 00:07:23,194 Speaker 4: Yeah, And basically what you also have to do is 178 00:07:23,234 --> 00:07:25,514 Speaker 4: you have to see what their rate is as well, 179 00:07:25,554 --> 00:07:28,034 Speaker 4: because a lot of the time they know that people 180 00:07:28,074 --> 00:07:31,194 Speaker 4: will spend a lot of money or something that probably. 181 00:07:30,994 --> 00:07:33,914 Speaker 1: Is isn't that intricate or whatever exactly. So there was 182 00:07:33,953 --> 00:07:35,914 Speaker 1: a lot of research, like a day of like, Hi, 183 00:07:36,154 --> 00:07:39,114 Speaker 1: I want this, Okay, I'll come back. What's your cause? Like, 184 00:07:39,114 --> 00:07:39,794 Speaker 1: what are you looking at? 185 00:07:39,834 --> 00:07:40,153 Speaker 2: I go up? 186 00:07:40,154 --> 00:07:41,874 Speaker 1: What's a turnover? Can I have look at fabrics? And 187 00:07:41,874 --> 00:07:42,754 Speaker 1: they're like, yeah, we can do it. 188 00:07:42,794 --> 00:07:45,914 Speaker 4: So there were so many people that would say like, yes, 189 00:07:45,994 --> 00:07:48,153 Speaker 4: we can do it, but it's finding a tailor that 190 00:07:48,194 --> 00:07:50,594 Speaker 4: can also show you the work that they've. 191 00:07:50,354 --> 00:07:52,713 Speaker 3: Done because of course they want their business totally. 192 00:07:53,074 --> 00:07:55,354 Speaker 2: Wow. Okay, so you've done the day of research, You've 193 00:07:55,434 --> 00:07:56,594 Speaker 2: chosen your one or two. 194 00:07:56,754 --> 00:07:57,234 Speaker 1: Yeah. 195 00:07:57,354 --> 00:08:00,033 Speaker 2: Firstly, on our way over there, before we go, have 196 00:08:00,114 --> 00:08:01,393 Speaker 2: you decided what you want to get made? 197 00:08:01,634 --> 00:08:02,874 Speaker 1: Yes, how what like? 198 00:08:02,914 --> 00:08:05,714 Speaker 2: Because it's in your head, but you can't just usb 199 00:08:05,874 --> 00:08:06,713 Speaker 2: your head to their head. 200 00:08:07,234 --> 00:08:08,074 Speaker 1: So there's a few things. 201 00:08:08,074 --> 00:08:11,554 Speaker 4: So I when I have ideas of like outfits in mind, 202 00:08:11,794 --> 00:08:15,674 Speaker 4: I'm inspired by films or decades or like whether it's 203 00:08:15,714 --> 00:08:19,154 Speaker 4: history or music. Like for example, one of my ultimate 204 00:08:19,154 --> 00:08:21,754 Speaker 4: all time like icons is share but share when she 205 00:08:21,914 --> 00:08:24,033 Speaker 4: was styled and her outfits were designed by Bob Mackie. 206 00:08:24,194 --> 00:08:26,514 Speaker 1: Oh cool, oh like all of that. 207 00:08:26,594 --> 00:08:28,953 Speaker 4: I'm like, yeah, So I would type in like share 208 00:08:28,994 --> 00:08:30,834 Speaker 4: in the seventies, and then I would get ideas of 209 00:08:30,834 --> 00:08:33,074 Speaker 4: like what I want or even a shirt like. 210 00:08:33,114 --> 00:08:35,514 Speaker 3: I And then so you take images of videos to 211 00:08:35,554 --> 00:08:35,914 Speaker 3: show them? 212 00:08:35,994 --> 00:08:38,074 Speaker 4: Yeah, I would take images to show them. Yeah, the 213 00:08:38,114 --> 00:08:39,714 Speaker 4: Share stuff they couldn't do. 214 00:08:39,834 --> 00:08:41,074 Speaker 3: But okay, but I like it. 215 00:08:41,234 --> 00:08:43,114 Speaker 1: They're like, that's a bit insane. I was like, that's okay. 216 00:08:43,794 --> 00:08:45,794 Speaker 4: But there'd also be ideas in my head of like 217 00:08:45,874 --> 00:08:49,434 Speaker 4: outfits that I've maybe seen before or maybe been inspired 218 00:08:49,434 --> 00:08:50,994 Speaker 4: by a film. So I would be like, Okay, I 219 00:08:51,034 --> 00:08:54,593 Speaker 4: want this type of dress. But with so I would guide. 220 00:08:54,354 --> 00:08:57,234 Speaker 1: Them and draw a bit of I'm the worst drawer, 221 00:08:57,234 --> 00:08:59,634 Speaker 1: but I'm and I'm probably the worst describer. So it 222 00:08:59,674 --> 00:09:01,034 Speaker 1: took us some really lood No. 223 00:09:01,114 --> 00:09:02,834 Speaker 2: This is good to know because I think some people 224 00:09:02,874 --> 00:09:05,354 Speaker 2: might be like, well, I can't draw, you know, I'm 225 00:09:05,434 --> 00:09:07,514 Speaker 2: not a designer in my head. Yeah, there's something you've 226 00:09:07,514 --> 00:09:10,154 Speaker 2: always been looking for. There's ways to convey it. 227 00:09:10,074 --> 00:09:12,474 Speaker 1: One percent, and like you can even show images of 228 00:09:12,554 --> 00:09:16,594 Speaker 1: different outfits and then put a neckline but this, yeah, exactly, okay. 229 00:09:16,714 --> 00:09:18,554 Speaker 4: But the thing that I learned the most is that 230 00:09:18,594 --> 00:09:21,994 Speaker 4: you have to be really specific, yeah, because if you're not, 231 00:09:22,754 --> 00:09:23,754 Speaker 4: you won't get what you want. 232 00:09:23,794 --> 00:09:26,074 Speaker 2: Yeah, because people aren't mind readers. I mean, it happens 233 00:09:26,074 --> 00:09:28,554 Speaker 2: when you get your hair done sometimes or whatever. You 234 00:09:28,634 --> 00:09:30,594 Speaker 2: just go oh, I didn't explain that enough. I just 235 00:09:30,594 --> 00:09:31,354 Speaker 2: thought they got. 236 00:09:31,154 --> 00:09:33,154 Speaker 1: It one hundred percent. And that's what I found. 237 00:09:33,194 --> 00:09:34,474 Speaker 4: I was like, there was a few times where I 238 00:09:34,474 --> 00:09:36,514 Speaker 4: was like, no, I want the back lower, and some 239 00:09:36,834 --> 00:09:39,314 Speaker 4: people are quite conservative, and I'm like, they think this 240 00:09:39,354 --> 00:09:39,994 Speaker 4: is low back. 241 00:09:39,834 --> 00:09:42,434 Speaker 2: And like, yeah, you don't understand because colds are different 242 00:09:42,594 --> 00:09:44,674 Speaker 2: and you know, yeah, exactly, and they're probably doing what 243 00:09:44,714 --> 00:09:46,674 Speaker 2: they think. And also I guess you can always go lower, 244 00:09:46,714 --> 00:09:48,634 Speaker 2: but it's hard to put fabric back on exactly. So 245 00:09:48,754 --> 00:09:50,834 Speaker 2: that's again I guess the next step of the process. 246 00:09:50,834 --> 00:09:53,554 Speaker 2: So you found your place, you've described it, showed them images, 247 00:09:53,674 --> 00:09:55,994 Speaker 2: whatever you've said, Yep, good to go. You always pick 248 00:09:56,034 --> 00:09:57,714 Speaker 2: from their fabric. Can people take their own? 249 00:09:57,954 --> 00:10:00,914 Speaker 4: You can definitely take your own. I didn't. I did 250 00:10:00,954 --> 00:10:02,953 Speaker 4: when I was in Bali. That's what you had to 251 00:10:02,994 --> 00:10:04,914 Speaker 4: do when you went to the tailor's over there. I 252 00:10:04,954 --> 00:10:07,874 Speaker 4: would have to go to one of the fabric stores, okay, 253 00:10:08,154 --> 00:10:10,234 Speaker 4: and then I had to go and pick what I 254 00:10:10,274 --> 00:10:12,034 Speaker 4: wanted and then I bring it back to the tailor. 255 00:10:12,474 --> 00:10:15,754 Speaker 4: But in Vietnam it's slightly different because. 256 00:10:15,394 --> 00:10:17,594 Speaker 1: They they already have their. 257 00:10:17,434 --> 00:10:18,474 Speaker 3: Own much fabric. 258 00:10:18,514 --> 00:10:22,594 Speaker 2: So unless it's something super specific like a Lime, I 259 00:10:22,634 --> 00:10:23,074 Speaker 2: don't know what. 260 00:10:23,154 --> 00:10:24,394 Speaker 1: Totally, yeah, totally. 261 00:10:24,434 --> 00:10:27,594 Speaker 4: I think if I did go back, I would probably 262 00:10:27,754 --> 00:10:30,994 Speaker 4: bring some of my own fabric moving forward. 263 00:10:30,754 --> 00:10:33,114 Speaker 2: To just show, like to show the example, or to 264 00:10:33,154 --> 00:10:33,794 Speaker 2: actually have it made. 265 00:10:33,874 --> 00:10:35,794 Speaker 4: Probably to have it made as well, because I found, 266 00:10:35,874 --> 00:10:37,514 Speaker 4: for an example, there was a dress that I had 267 00:10:37,594 --> 00:10:40,874 Speaker 4: made and it's stunning, like it's a green dress, high neckline, 268 00:10:40,954 --> 00:10:41,354 Speaker 4: low back. 269 00:10:41,354 --> 00:10:43,314 Speaker 3: I felt green with you. That's why I said green. 270 00:10:43,434 --> 00:10:46,914 Speaker 4: Yeah, Green's my favorite color and real green specifically. But 271 00:10:46,954 --> 00:10:50,034 Speaker 4: basically what happened was I wanted. I wanted it that 272 00:10:50,114 --> 00:10:53,274 Speaker 4: made in silk, and I know places in Vietnam, Hanoi, 273 00:10:53,594 --> 00:10:55,833 Speaker 4: her Noise renowned for silk. So I thought, oh, well 274 00:10:55,834 --> 00:10:57,474 Speaker 4: that will be fine because when I go to joy Yan, 275 00:10:58,394 --> 00:11:01,634 Speaker 4: that's the place known for getting clothes made, but they 276 00:11:01,634 --> 00:11:03,354 Speaker 4: didn't actually have silk, and every time I say silk, 277 00:11:03,354 --> 00:11:04,234 Speaker 4: they would give me saturn. 278 00:11:04,554 --> 00:11:04,754 Speaker 2: Yeah. 279 00:11:04,754 --> 00:11:05,954 Speaker 3: I was like sweaty damn. 280 00:11:06,074 --> 00:11:09,114 Speaker 4: So okay, I think moving forward, next time, if I 281 00:11:09,154 --> 00:11:11,394 Speaker 4: want something specific like a silk, I'll bring. 282 00:11:11,354 --> 00:11:14,874 Speaker 2: Yeah, specific fiber as well. Okay, that's good to know. Yeah, okay, 283 00:11:14,914 --> 00:11:16,874 Speaker 2: so you've said, great, I want this.

Do you go 286 00:11:21,794 --> 00:11:23,914 Speaker 2: back for fittings? Like?

It might 429 00:16:46,274 --> 00:16:49,634 Speaker 2: have inspired some listeners. But let's talk about thrifting overseas. Yeah, 430 00:16:49,634 --> 00:16:52,594 Speaker 2: because this is a passion of mine. Thrifting anywhere. Yeah, 431 00:16:52,634 --> 00:16:55,034 Speaker 2: any suburb I go to, even if I've never been there. 432 00:16:55,074 --> 00:16:58,154 Speaker 2: My mum's you know, unwell out west at the moment, 433 00:16:58,194 --> 00:17:00,194 Speaker 2: and I just every time I go, she moves hospitals. 434 00:17:00,234 --> 00:17:01,674 Speaker 2: I'm like, great, and then I just put in like 435 00:17:02,074 --> 00:17:05,474 Speaker 2: thrift stores in however many radius, so yeah, they're everywhere. 436 00:17:06,074 --> 00:17:09,714 Speaker 2: So thrifting overs it can be daunting, I think. I mean, 437 00:17:09,714 --> 00:17:12,874 Speaker 2: I think a lot of people also. It depends on 438 00:17:12,914 --> 00:17:14,553 Speaker 2: how much they travel or how much they've been to 439 00:17:14,554 --> 00:17:16,474 Speaker 2: that place. But I think people will go, I will 440 00:17:16,474 --> 00:17:19,194 Speaker 2: go to the sites and do all the things, whereas 441 00:17:19,194 --> 00:17:21,034 Speaker 2: I don't think you often land in a different city 442 00:17:21,034 --> 00:17:22,394 Speaker 2: and go I'm going to go, like. 443 00:17:22,554 --> 00:17:24,114 Speaker 3: Touch people's old T shirts. 444 00:17:24,154 --> 00:17:24,793 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you know. 445 00:17:25,514 --> 00:17:28,074 Speaker 2: So how do you find where to go and where? 446 00:17:28,074 --> 00:17:30,234 Speaker 2: If you had the most luck overseas shifting. 447 00:17:30,034 --> 00:17:32,234 Speaker 4: Oh, okay, that's a really good question.

There's a lot 484 00:18:48,674 --> 00:18:51,674 Speaker 2: of thrifting and vintage and more anti like but like 485 00:18:51,714 --> 00:18:54,194 Speaker 2: you know, even just secondhand. But the charity shops, like 486 00:18:54,274 --> 00:18:56,834 Speaker 2: what we would call a Vinnie's, you know, don't really 487 00:18:56,834 --> 00:18:59,674 Speaker 2: exist in Paris. But in London there's a whole different 488 00:18:59,714 --> 00:19:02,914 Speaker 2: bunch of brands, like chains that have different charities and 489 00:19:02,914 --> 00:19:06,074 Speaker 2: they're good. So research the country or area. 490 00:19:05,914 --> 00:19:07,833 Speaker 1: And what I was at a really good experience. 491 00:19:07,834 --> 00:19:13,074 Speaker 4: In Manchester they had some really good vintage and thrifting stores. 492 00:19:13,234 --> 00:19:14,394 Speaker 1: I find that their. 493 00:19:14,234 --> 00:19:15,954 Speaker 3: Style in general, it's very good. 494 00:19:16,074 --> 00:19:19,434 Speaker 1: They've got the really cool stuff, very fun pieces. So 495 00:19:19,434 --> 00:19:22,674 Speaker 1: you everywhere you go, you will I will find something. 496 00:19:24,154 --> 00:19:26,594 Speaker 2: Would you thrift in Bali or they know, I don't 497 00:19:26,594 --> 00:19:28,874 Speaker 2: feel like Barali, Well, I don't know, I've never tried. 498 00:19:29,074 --> 00:19:32,314 Speaker 4: I never thrifted in Bali, but I did thrift in Vietnam. Okay, 499 00:19:32,474 --> 00:19:35,754 Speaker 4: but I thrifted in Ho Chi Minh City, which was awesome. 500 00:19:36,394 --> 00:19:39,114 Speaker 3: Japan is also phenomenal. 501 00:19:39,314 --> 00:19:41,634 Speaker 1: I've heard Japan is did you find some really good time? 502 00:19:41,634 --> 00:19:42,194 Speaker 3: I haven't done this. 503 00:19:42,674 --> 00:19:45,554 Speaker 1: I went pre thrift ly, but now everywhere I go, 504 00:19:46,114 --> 00:19:46,794 Speaker 1: like all I do. 505 00:19:47,034 --> 00:19:50,114 Speaker 4: Well, it's just I find it's so much more rewarding 506 00:19:50,194 --> 00:19:53,954 Speaker 4: when you find a really interesting piece of clothing that 507 00:19:54,114 --> 00:19:54,994 Speaker 4: is unique. 508 00:19:54,714 --> 00:19:58,674 Speaker 3: And saving it from landfill. But not everyone's like us. 509 00:19:58,714 --> 00:20:00,914 Speaker 2: I think it can be very daunting, particularly if you're 510 00:20:00,914 --> 00:20:02,874 Speaker 2: in a city for a short period of time, because 511 00:20:03,034 --> 00:20:06,554 Speaker 2: you can spend days going through like awful, awful, bald 512 00:20:06,594 --> 00:20:07,874 Speaker 2: knitted amazing. 513 00:20:08,034 --> 00:20:09,914 Speaker 3: Yes, you know a lot do that. 514 00:20:10,114 --> 00:20:13,674 Speaker 1: So yeah, it's not a common travel thing, I think, 515 00:20:13,754 --> 00:20:16,634 Speaker 1: but it's picking up, oh definitely. So what are we 516 00:20:16,794 --> 00:20:17,514 Speaker 1: looking for? 517 00:20:17,834 --> 00:20:19,794 Speaker 2: You know? Once you found the store, is there things 518 00:20:19,794 --> 00:20:21,874 Speaker 2: that you look for? Is it brands? Is it the 519 00:20:21,954 --> 00:20:24,634 Speaker 2: fabric like natural fibers or leathers. Do you head straight 520 00:20:24,674 --> 00:20:26,994 Speaker 2: to shoes or bags or do you just follow your vibes? 521 00:20:27,314 --> 00:20:29,874 Speaker 1: I So it really just depends on the day. I 522 00:20:30,034 --> 00:20:30,874 Speaker 1: do follow my vibes. 523 00:20:30,914 --> 00:20:33,273 Speaker 4: A lot of the time, I find if I go 524 00:20:33,394 --> 00:20:36,994 Speaker 4: in to a thrift stare with an outfit in mind, 525 00:20:37,074 --> 00:20:37,954 Speaker 4: it's never gonna happen. 526 00:20:38,034 --> 00:20:40,394 Speaker 1: No, I like to go in. 527 00:20:40,634 --> 00:20:42,914 Speaker 4: I'll hit let's say the pants section, whatever sections to 528 00:20:42,914 --> 00:20:45,074 Speaker 4: my left, and I'll just go from there, and then 529 00:20:45,074 --> 00:20:47,714 Speaker 4: I'll go through one item at a time. And usually 530 00:20:47,754 --> 00:20:50,754 Speaker 4: I'll always stop at really interesting fabrics. So whether it's 531 00:20:50,794 --> 00:20:53,994 Speaker 4: a leather usually always catches my eye. I managed to 532 00:20:54,354 --> 00:20:56,514 Speaker 4: get a lot of like leather pants and jackets. 533 00:20:56,554 --> 00:20:59,754 Speaker 2: So and because it you know, it is secondhand and vintage, 534 00:21:00,034 --> 00:21:02,354 Speaker 2: it usually wears pretty well, like you know, it's not 535 00:21:02,394 --> 00:21:05,794 Speaker 2: a polyester knit that's balled up after. You know, leather 536 00:21:05,874 --> 00:21:07,754 Speaker 2: is a good thing to find and then check out 537 00:21:07,754 --> 00:21:09,154 Speaker 2: and see the condition exactly. 538 00:21:09,274 --> 00:21:12,354 Speaker 4: And I also think for me like anything with a 539 00:21:12,394 --> 00:21:15,274 Speaker 4: really nice or interesting pattern or fabrics. And then when 540 00:21:15,274 --> 00:21:17,274 Speaker 4: I when I find something that I flick through, I'm like, oh, 541 00:21:17,274 --> 00:21:19,754 Speaker 4: this is stunning. I always look at the label and 542 00:21:19,794 --> 00:21:22,394 Speaker 4: I make sure that it's you know, like their theory 543 00:21:22,434 --> 00:21:25,194 Speaker 4: pants or yeah, or I found these vintage like BB 544 00:21:25,994 --> 00:21:28,274 Speaker 4: yeah cool, and then they say's like made in the USA. 545 00:21:28,354 --> 00:21:29,954 Speaker 4: That was a good bill and I was like, excellent 546 00:21:29,954 --> 00:21:32,834 Speaker 4: putting that in. So I want something that's I mean, 547 00:21:32,874 --> 00:21:35,513 Speaker 4: it's so now, especially you go thrifting and you can 548 00:21:35,554 --> 00:21:36,314 Speaker 4: see so much sheene. 549 00:21:36,394 --> 00:21:39,114 Speaker 2: There's a lot of sheene and tamo, Yeah, which I think, 550 00:21:39,194 --> 00:21:41,234 Speaker 2: you know, that's not what I'm there for. However, if 551 00:21:41,274 --> 00:21:43,513 Speaker 2: someone does buy it and saves it from landfill for 552 00:21:43,554 --> 00:21:46,154 Speaker 2: another six months, I'm like, fine, but it doesn't make 553 00:21:46,194 --> 00:21:49,074 Speaker 2: thrifting as exciting as what we're looking for. Yeah, so 554 00:21:49,074 --> 00:21:51,073 Speaker 2: I'm in two minds about that, because you do have 555 00:21:51,154 --> 00:21:53,514 Speaker 2: to go through a lot of someone bought that two 556 00:21:53,514 --> 00:21:55,114 Speaker 2: weeks ago and just don't want it, doesn't want it, 557 00:21:55,554 --> 00:21:56,674 Speaker 2: but maybe someone might wear it. 558 00:21:56,674 --> 00:21:57,954 Speaker 3: But yeah, so you're looking. 559 00:21:57,714 --> 00:22:01,273 Speaker 2: For obviously quality and fabric, but then condition, like do 560 00:22:01,314 --> 00:22:02,274 Speaker 2: you check zips? 561 00:22:02,674 --> 00:22:05,354 Speaker 1: Obviously conditions important, and so I do check it. 562 00:22:05,394 --> 00:22:09,154 Speaker 4: I guess I do a little quality control, but normally, yeah, 563 00:22:09,594 --> 00:22:11,634 Speaker 4: I will just if I can fix it, if there's 564 00:22:11,674 --> 00:22:14,474 Speaker 4: a slice, if there's something slightly wrong with it, can 565 00:22:14,474 --> 00:22:14,793 Speaker 4: fix it. 566 00:22:14,834 --> 00:22:16,274 Speaker 1: That's not an issue for me too. 567 00:22:16,434 --> 00:22:18,274 Speaker 4: And I think when I do go thrifting, I do 568 00:22:18,434 --> 00:22:21,033 Speaker 4: like finding things that are good quality because I'm the 569 00:22:21,074 --> 00:22:23,834 Speaker 4: type of person that holds onto things for a very 570 00:22:23,834 --> 00:22:25,954 Speaker 4: long time. Like even these pants, I think I've had 571 00:22:25,994 --> 00:22:28,954 Speaker 4: these pants like ten years. Like I just I love 572 00:22:29,114 --> 00:22:32,553 Speaker 4: to rewear and have something that it's gonna be a 573 00:22:32,634 --> 00:22:33,434 Speaker 4: family heirloom. 574 00:22:34,194 --> 00:22:36,394 Speaker 2: So you're less, you know, a trend follower like all 575 00:22:36,394 --> 00:22:38,273 Speaker 2: the micro transit happen all the time.

Sometimes 716 00:27:41,874 --> 00:27:44,874 Speaker 4: in my head I'm always like life is so we're 717 00:27:44,914 --> 00:27:47,674 Speaker 4: here for such like a minimal amount of time. If 718 00:27:47,714 --> 00:27:49,273 Speaker 4: you want to be the star of the show of 719 00:27:49,274 --> 00:27:52,033 Speaker 4: your own little world today, embrace it because you're never 720 00:27:52,074 --> 00:27:54,234 Speaker 4: going to get this moment back. And for me, I 721 00:27:54,314 --> 00:27:58,194 Speaker 4: find I love to creatively express myself through my clothes, 722 00:27:58,674 --> 00:28:01,194 Speaker 4: and every day I'm wearing something different, Like I wouldn't. 723 00:28:00,874 --> 00:28:01,554 Speaker 1: Say, do you ever? 724 00:28:01,594 --> 00:28:03,354 Speaker 2: I mean, I'm guessing form mer personality, think oh my god, 725 00:28:03,394 --> 00:28:05,474 Speaker 2: everyone's gonna look at me, but you don't care. 726 00:28:05,994 --> 00:28:08,074 Speaker 1: It's fun, like not that everyone's looking at me. I 727 00:28:08,114 --> 00:28:10,394 Speaker 1: don't really care about that it makes you happy. 728 00:28:10,554 --> 00:28:12,594 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's what holds a lot of people 729 00:28:12,634 --> 00:28:13,434 Speaker 2: back exactly. 730 00:28:13,514 --> 00:28:15,994 Speaker 4: And I get that as well, But I think you 731 00:28:16,034 --> 00:28:18,194 Speaker 4: don't have to go be outrageous. But if there's something 732 00:28:18,194 --> 00:28:21,914 Speaker 4: that you genuinely love, why not lean into it? Like 733 00:28:22,074 --> 00:28:23,954 Speaker 4: people aren't really looking at you as much as you 734 00:28:23,954 --> 00:28:24,594 Speaker 4: think that they. 735 00:28:24,554 --> 00:28:26,674 Speaker 3: Are, so true, they're more worried about themselves. 736 00:28:27,034 --> 00:28:27,274 Speaker 1: Feace. 737 00:28:27,314 --> 00:28:29,234 Speaker 2: If you've got something quite adventurous that you want to wear, 738 00:28:29,274 --> 00:28:31,274 Speaker 2: we've got time to just play dress ups. Then wear 739 00:28:31,274 --> 00:28:32,954 Speaker 2: it around the house for a bit and see if 740 00:28:32,994 --> 00:28:34,634 Speaker 2: you were like, no, I'm vibe in this, or if 741 00:28:34,634 --> 00:28:35,794 Speaker 2: you're like, oh, I just. 742 00:28:35,874 --> 00:28:36,513 Speaker 1: Don't like me. 743 00:28:36,674 --> 00:28:38,434 Speaker 2: Because if you put on the wrong outfit right before 744 00:28:38,434 --> 00:28:40,714 Speaker 2: we run out the door, I will run back in 745 00:28:40,754 --> 00:28:42,954 Speaker 2: and be late.
