Speaker 2: alongside trash to Treasured, So can you tell me about it?
Speaker 3: Okay, So trash to Treasured has been retired in a
Speaker 3: way because it's time to get deeper, I think. So
Speaker 3: I'm releasing the Feel Good Style Club membership.
Speaker 1: Feel Good Style Club what a great name.
Speaker 3: When I speak with my clients, my first question is

Speaker 3: really speak to you and answer your questions. Yes, and
Speaker 3: there'll be a bunch of resources in there. You don't
Speaker 3: have to go through bunches of links and trying to
Speaker 3: find certain things.
Speaker 1: You are a genius, Thank you.
Speaker 3: And everyone will go through a little style quiz when
Speaker 3: they come in, so then you'll know exactly what kind
Speaker 3: of content you're going to be searching for and that
Speaker 3: we can provide for you.
Speaker 1: You are so clever.
Speaker 2: We've been doing this for over a decade, so evolution
Speaker 2: was inevitable and I'm so proud of you, and there
Speaker 2: is no one better to talk to about this topic.
Speaker 2: So we've got a dressing room dilemma from a listener
Speaker 2: who said, how can I create new outfits from clothes
Speaker 2: I already own? I feel I always see people making
Speaker 2: really cool, new and fashionable combinations and I don't really
Speaker 2: know where to start. It just looks like I got
Speaker 2: dressed in the dark.
Speaker 3: You've got a phrase I do so pick well style often.
Speaker 2: Well style often. Yes, So you are truly the best
Speaker 2: person to talk to. Let me ask some questions, but
Speaker 2: then just jump in with your advice because your brain
Speaker 2: is like an encyclopedia for this kind of thing.
Speaker 1: What are some.
Speaker 2: Common wardrobe mistakes people make that prevent them from getting
Speaker 2: the most out of the clothes they do already have
Speaker 2: in their wardrobe.
Speaker 3: I think when you're looking at really unique colors that
Speaker 3: don't really sit well with the other clothes you have
Speaker 3: in your wardrobe, I think it's so fine to try
Speaker 3: bits and pieces as long as you have like about
Speaker 3: eighty percent of your wardrobe that really mixes the match
Speaker 3: as well with each other.
Speaker 2: So let's talk about approaching mixing and matching and knowing
Speaker 2: what items to even start experimenting with. You know, we're
Speaker 2: not going to the shops yet, we're in our wardrobe.
Speaker 3: The first step would be bring out all of your neutrals.
Speaker 3: So that's your blacks, your whites, your tens, your denim
Speaker 3: if you don't absolutely and also like khaki, yeah, gray, yeah, ray,
Speaker 3: all of those are.
Speaker 1: Not your bold kind of prints and primary colors.
Speaker 3: No, And so what I like to do is take
Speaker 3: two colors from the neutrals and then take a bold
Speaker 3: color if you do have that in your wardrobe, and
Speaker 3: pop it in so it's three colors. Oh clever, and
Speaker 3: you'll always look put together if you've got three colors
Speaker 3: going on in.
Speaker 2: Your okay, So like for me at the moment, I'm
Speaker 2: loving gray and navy, so I could play with my
Speaker 2: gray navy pieces and I kind of like, I've got
Speaker 2: a lot of dark denim that I love.
Speaker 1: Then I could add my.
Speaker 2: Reds absolutely, because I've been struggling with my reds because
Speaker 2: I've been thinking black. Then that feels too harsh, That
Speaker 2: is so clever.
Speaker 3: Well, I've got my red sneakers on today, but I've
Speaker 3: got them with white pets. Black got and it got
Speaker 3: black at the top.
Speaker 1: That looks good.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was trying to do all black with a
Speaker 2: pop of red, and it felt like that woman just
Speaker 2: really wants to wear that red item, which is.
Speaker 1: What it was.
Speaker 3: Because then there's only two colors that you do add
Speaker 3: in a third color and suddenly it's more of an outfit.
Speaker 2: And do you find when you're chatting to clients within
Speaker 2: that neutral's wardrobe, do they generally have more of one
Speaker 2: or two colors, like they are a gray or a
Speaker 2: beige or a white.
Speaker 3: It's usually a lot of black because people feel safe
Speaker 3: and black. But I actually think black is one of
Speaker 3: the hardest colors. I'm discovering two style because it's so standalone.
Speaker 3: It's almost a statement in itself. So if I'm wearing black,
Speaker 3: I like to lean in all black and add like
Speaker 3: a bit of detail with my accessory.
Speaker 1: Yes, bag.
Speaker 2: That's so funny because packing for my holiday, I've pulled
Speaker 2: out sort of my neutrals. I've done almost what you're
Speaker 2: telling us to do, and then I had some black pieces.
Speaker 2: I thought, Oh, I have to take these because they're classic.
Speaker 2: But then when I looked at the combinations, they went
Speaker 2: with less amount of things. It was more of a
Speaker 2: gray blazer than a black blazer or a white And yeah,
Speaker 2: you're right. Black is a classic, but it doesn't always
Speaker 2: go with that much no.
Speaker 3: And it gets you into these situations where it's like
Speaker 3: two clashing big colors, like you're red and you're black.
Speaker 2: Yes, so big about allow too, because I've got a beautiful,
Speaker 2: fine yellow knit I've been trying to wear. But again,
Speaker 2: I've been reaching for black mindlessly and it just was
Speaker 2: too hot. One of your tips you talk about is
Speaker 2: to look at the detailing on fabrics and on items.
Speaker 2: Talk to me about the details.
Speaker 3: So when you're looking at a shirt, think about where
Speaker 3: you can unbutton it too to create a different neckline
Speaker 3: for yourself. Look at if the buttons are functional on
Speaker 3: the sleeve so you can change the sleeve length as well. Yes,
Speaker 3: look at if it's a shirt dress, look at how
Speaker 3: you can completely unbutton it and wear it as a
Speaker 3: caftan overswimwear or a singlet and jeans. So think about
Speaker 3: ways you can wear the piece other than what it's
Speaker 3: intended for.
Speaker 2: Yes, so it can be more kind of multi use exactly,
Speaker 2: that's clever. That's often a fail of mind online shopping.
Speaker 2: That's some you know, more affordable brands, which is fine,
Speaker 2: but the buttons won't even be functional, like why didn't
Speaker 2: you give me a hole for my button?
Speaker 3: Exactly? But then you know that's where you're saving on costs,
Speaker 3: But then you need to buy another shirt to be
Speaker 3: able to make new combinations.
Speaker 2: So it's so true on that. Do you have tips
Speaker 2: for shopping online to look at details? Like?
Speaker 1: Are you a zoomer in er on the pictures?
Speaker 3: I zoom all the way in. I look at every
Speaker 3: single photo. I look at the fabric, detail, the percentage, So.
Speaker 1: You're pretty good with the fabric.
Speaker 2: I'm just getting into like understanding well actually just looking
Speaker 2: at the tab where it says you know, wool or
Speaker 2: lien all vis goes. I've only just started that. But
Speaker 2: it's important when shopping online for details.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, especially when it's an item you would like to
Speaker 3: wear a few times during the week, and so you
Speaker 3: want it to be able to like dry quickly. You're
Speaker 3: not going to want to dry clean it every week,
Speaker 3: no way. Then you're looking at fabrics that might be
Speaker 3: really wrinkle resistant or heavily wrinkled like so these are
Speaker 3: all things that will make me reach for it less
Speaker 3: or more. So that's why fabric is.
Speaker 2: Important, because again, you know people might travel for work
Speaker 2: and it might be in a suitcase. If it's wrinkled,
Speaker 2: you're not gonna iron it. You don't have time. No
Speaker 2: one does.
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 2: You are a huge fan of the throw on and
Speaker 2: go dress. You came up with that acronym and I
Speaker 2: love it. I'm in two minds about this. A throw
Speaker 2: on a go dress, I guess is completely versatile because
Speaker 2: you chuck it on, it's one piece of clothing and
Speaker 2: then you're not naked. But is it versatile? Talk to
Speaker 2: me about your throw on and go theory with dresses.
Speaker 3: So it is versatile if that is your personal style.
Speaker 3: So some people might be like, oh, I don't like
Speaker 3: wearing dresses. That's fine, So find a piece of clothing
Speaker 3: that you feel like yourself you can throw it on.
Speaker 3: So it might be a jumpsuit, it might be a
Speaker 3: printed pant, it might be a one shoulder fitted bodysuit.
Speaker 3: But if that's your version of I pop it on
Speaker 3: and I feel great. That's your version.
Speaker 1: Yes, it doesn't have to be a dress.
Speaker 3: It doesn't have to be a dress.
Speaker 2: Did it start from the dress though, because you literally
Speaker 2: don't even have to think of a second item.
Speaker 3: Yes, so it started because I used to go into
Speaker 3: work on a Monday morning, I had to commute two
Speaker 3: hours and the last thing I want to think about
Speaker 3: is what am I going to wear? So this way,
Speaker 3: I can just pop on one piece of clothing and
Speaker 3: I'm done. I'm polished. And I love a dress with
Speaker 3: a print on it as well, because again you're adding
Speaker 3: interest without having to add too much. True, and you
Speaker 3: put on a simple shoe and you're good.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's fascinating because you just said print, Whereas I
Speaker 2: guess I'm a bit more classic in that way. I've
Speaker 2: got two actually, they're both dishes and the same dress,
Speaker 2: different colors. I've realized one's a navy and one's a
Speaker 2: light gray linen, sort of a line throw on and
Speaker 2: go yep. And I've worn it with sneakers and a
Speaker 2: denim jacket or a trench or with sandals in summer,
Speaker 2: and it literally is my throat, on and go when
Speaker 2: I don't have time to think, I know it fits me.
Speaker 1: I love this.
Speaker 2: Okay, colors, we want to make something feel fresh, We
Speaker 2: want to mix and match with our wardrobe. But do
Speaker 2: we go and then maybe buy a pop of color
Speaker 2: once we've worked out our neutrals?
Speaker 1: How do we feel fresh with color?
Speaker 3: So again it comes back down to if you are
Speaker 3: a color person, Yes, so you might.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of coming this summer, right there is.
Speaker 3: There's a lot of print coming too.
Speaker 1: In the US.
Speaker 2: So you've just lived the summer we're about to go
Speaker 2: into exactly. Hey, tell us a bit about.
Speaker 3: That first Okay, So there was a lot of white,
Speaker 3: lots of bubble skirt, silver, lamb.
Speaker 1: I'm leaving that one. I remember it the first time.
Speaker 3: Yes, it was around back in high school.
Speaker 1: Back in high school.
Speaker 2: But I wonder maybe if it's better this time, or
Speaker 2: if I just leave it?
Speaker 3: Are you doing the bubble now, I'm doing a maxi.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, I think that's a bit more wearable. And
Speaker 2: then color and print. Tell me what you saw.
Speaker 3: So I saw a leap of print. Yeah, animal print, Yes, red, red, green.
Speaker 1: I'm glad red still around now that.
Speaker 3: We're going into autumn winter in LA and the US,
Speaker 3: it's a cherry red.
Speaker 1: Okay, so a bit deeper, a bit.
Speaker 3: Deeper, but you can bring your summer red through great.
Speaker 2: And I've still got my winter red, so I'll just
Speaker 2: keep wearing that through summer and back into winter.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Perfect. And I'm seeing a lot of baby blue, which
Speaker 3: I love. Yes, me too, Okay, Yeah, de Cuba have
Speaker 3: some great baby blue pieces.
Speaker 2: Okay, So say someone they're mixing and matching with what
Speaker 2: they've already got, but they do want to go and
Speaker 2: have a look at the spring offering. How do we
Speaker 2: add a little bit of color? Is it back to
Speaker 2: the three color theory? Do they wear their neutrals to
Speaker 2: the store to try the color?
Speaker 1: How do we do that?
Speaker 3: Yeah? So that's a great idea actually, where things that
Speaker 3: you would consider a base so for some people might
Speaker 3: be black linen pants. For someone it might be wide
Speaker 3: legged jeans. Wear that and then try it on, you know,
Speaker 3: and you really get a real time feel for what
Speaker 3: it's going to look like.
Speaker 1: It's so true.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I often wear leggings because I just think I'm
Speaker 2: going to be changing lots, and I'm like, why didn't
Speaker 2: I wear a cut of jean that I have one
Speaker 2: hundred pairs of and that I wear all the time
Speaker 2: to know if the top looks good rather than silly leggings.
Speaker 3: Yes, you know when sometimes you put something on and
Speaker 3: you think, oh, if only I had my hair done
Speaker 3: or my mate cup done, it.
Speaker 2: Would look yes, great, Yeah, So putting it in a
Speaker 2: tiny bit of effort, yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, put in a tiny bit of effort, or order
Speaker 3: it to your home.
Speaker 2: Yes, you know, and just check the returns policy exactly, Yeah,
Speaker 2: I do that. Or yeah, if it's you know, Zara,
Speaker 2: and I know I can return all the iconic Say
Speaker 2: I got home from work and I look af decent,
Speaker 2: I'll do all my try on then, yes, because then
Speaker 2: you know, okay, this is going to work. And then
Speaker 2: you've just got to make sure you take the returns
Speaker 2: well back before the end of it.
Speaker 3: I mean figuring all this out. It can be really simple,
Speaker 3: but it can take time.
Speaker 1: Yes, it does take time.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So we just spoke about color, but not everyone loves color.
Speaker 2: Talk to me about the accessories.
Speaker 1: What do we do. We don't have to do color.
Speaker 3: We don't have to do color. And also it depends
Speaker 3: again personal style. If you do want to pop of
Speaker 3: something that that's where I love ringing in like an
Speaker 3: earring or a necklace or a bag with really interesting detail.
Speaker 3: But living that aside as well, I would say look
Speaker 3: at silhouette. So look at the shape of your clothes.
Speaker 3: So maybe a VOLUMEUS sleeve, maybe an asymmetrical hemline.
Speaker 1: Yes, which is back again as well.
Speaker 3: It is, and maybe that's more your cup of tea.
Speaker 3: Like I know, I have clients that only wear neutrals
Speaker 3: like black and tan, So we play with silhouette.
Speaker 1: Yeah exactly.
Speaker 2: So when you know blazers were fitted five years ago,
Speaker 2: now they're oversize, so it's still a black blazer, but
Speaker 2: the cut is different. Everything comes back exactly with a
Speaker 2: slight twist.
Speaker 1: So then you're going to get the new thing anyway.
Speaker 2: But we are talking about mixing and matching what we
Speaker 2: already have prints that sounds hard for me because I'm
Speaker 2: not a print.
Speaker 1: You're more a print than me.
Speaker 2: We've got prints in our wardrobe, how do we work
Speaker 2: out how to wear them?
Speaker 3: More So, again, it would be maybe putting it with
Speaker 3: a neutral color that you don't usually pair it with.
Speaker 3: So when I think leopard print straight away, I'm going
Speaker 3: to go for a black blazer, for example, But a
Speaker 3: beige trench would look really good as well. Yes, a
Speaker 3: denim jacket great.
Speaker 2: Yes, So something a bit classic and a block color.
Speaker 2: Maybe that's not another print exactly? Yeah, print scary? Can
Speaker 2: you do like a whole course on Prince.
Speaker 3: Into print clashing? Oh my goodness, it's so fun to
Speaker 3: clash prints.
Speaker 2: I love fashion, but when I try to clash prints,
Speaker 2: it just looks like I got dressed at three am
Speaker 2: and didn't turn the light on.
Speaker 1: I need I need a lesson in that.
Speaker 3: If I can give you two tips, yes please. One
Speaker 3: is make sure the prints are similar tones okay, so
Speaker 3: they're both warm tones or they're both cool tones. And
Speaker 3: also having like similar size of print.
Speaker 1: Okay is helpful.
Speaker 2: So if it's like a smaller leopard print and then
Speaker 2: a smaller check or something rather than a giant check.
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, it kind of makes the eye go over
Speaker 3: the outfie.
Speaker 1: WHOA, what she done?
Speaker 3: It's okay.
Speaker 2: How important is it that we invest in quality pieces
Speaker 2: and how can they elevate the rest of our wardrobe?
Speaker 2: And I want to point out quality doesn't mean expensive, No,
Speaker 2: what's your definition of quality?
Speaker 3: Quality to me is something that's functional, so it actually
Speaker 3: allows you to use and move in the clothes. So
Speaker 3: if it's a jacket and I'm wearing it in winter,
Speaker 3: it has to keep me warm. Yes, okay, So I'm
Speaker 3: looking for something that has a little bit of viscos
Speaker 3: or wool or something that is going to keep me warm.
Speaker 3: If I'm wearing these shoes all day, they have to
Speaker 3: give me support because I'm flat footed. Yes, so it's
Speaker 3: looking at those Detai tells. First start from there and
Speaker 3: then work your way around it.
Speaker 2: Okay to more of the I guess superficial stuff like aesthetics. Aesthetics,
Speaker 2: that's right, that's so true. And you're big on making
Speaker 2: sure shoes a comfy. I love your rating on Instagram
Speaker 2: of how comfory a shoe is because I look at
Speaker 2: all the stillo doos I still have and would never
Speaker 2: reach for and even the flat shoes I've bought that
Speaker 2: I thought would be comfy, I never reach for them.
Speaker 2: I think, oh, maybe I'll wear them next week because
Speaker 2: I've spent the money.
Speaker 3: But if they're not comfy, if they're not comfory, you're
Speaker 3: not going to reach for them. You know, it doesn't
Speaker 3: matter how expensive or cheap they were, Yes, if you're
Speaker 3: not using them.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So quality is pretty much cost perware, like how
Speaker 2: much you love the item. Let's talk hero pieces. Sometimes
Speaker 2: a hero piece is something I just love and want
Speaker 2: to get more wear out of. How can we identify
Speaker 2: the hero pieces in our wardrobe and get more wear
Speaker 2: out of them?
Speaker 3: A hero piece lights you up? Yes, it is really
Speaker 3: aligned with the message you want to give out with
Speaker 3: your outfit. So you know, it might be a pop
Speaker 3: of red, it might be a design, a handbag, might
Speaker 3: be part of your style identities. You love wearing linen,
Speaker 3: so maybe it's a beautiful long linen dress.
Speaker 2: Yes, it's a motive for you, Yes, exactly, and then
Speaker 2: you feel good. I've got a jacket that I wear
Speaker 2: when I want to feel powerful. It came to mind
Speaker 2: it's my hero piece or one of my hero pieces,
Speaker 2: and it just makes me feel confident. Amazing layering and
Speaker 2: transitional outfits and seasons in Sydney here or in spring
Speaker 2: we had a really rainy, cold winter, then all of
Speaker 2: a sudden there were summer. Who knows what's happening tomorrow?
Speaker 2: How can we use the pieces in our wardrobe in
Speaker 2: these weird weather times?
Speaker 3: So A, layering pieces are best when they're thin fabrics
Speaker 3: on the thinner side, so you can literally layer. Yes,
Speaker 3: I love using like maybe a white T shirt or
Speaker 3: a white singlet to give a pop of something underneath
Speaker 3: a knit, you know, underneath a jacket as well. I
Speaker 3: love using long sleeves to kind of pick the cuff
Speaker 3: out from below my jacket, adding another layer.
Speaker 1: And it looks like you've put in effort. It looks
Speaker 1: very cool.
Speaker 3: It does it's effortless.
Speaker 2: Yes, that's less, and you haven't put in the effort,
Speaker 2: but of course you have. And footwear in trance seasonal, like,
Speaker 2: are we doing sneakers again?
Speaker 1: I mean I am, because they're comfortable.
Speaker 3: I think sneakers are having a huge moment, and especially
Speaker 3: after COVID, no one's reaching for their heels anymore. And
Speaker 3: then I think the sneaker companies are really leading into
Speaker 3: that and bringing out really cool combinations. So yes to sneakers.
Speaker 3: I really love like a flat knee length boots with
Speaker 3: my shorter dresses. And there's also like the chunky sould slides.
Speaker 3: They're not for everybody. If you do want to try them,
Speaker 3: I would say maybe not one with a big buckle
Speaker 3: as well, because that's like another extra detail.
Speaker 2: Yes, so it's chunky then the buckle, it definitely says
Speaker 2: something it doesn't go with as much.
Speaker 3: Yes, exactly. I mean, if that's your personal style, go
Speaker 3: for it. If you're kind of dipping your toe into that,
Speaker 3: I would consider like maybe.
Speaker 2: Just a plain on okay, and all mixed match with
Speaker 2: more exactly. Can you suggest a few easy wardrobe challenges
Speaker 2: or exercises that our lovely listeners can do to rediscover
Speaker 2: and love what's already in their closets?
Speaker 3: Okay? So I would again bring up the three color palette.
Speaker 1: Yes, I'm going home to do that immediately.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's so much fun to do and I'm traveling
Speaker 3: right now, so I'm really leaning into that.
Speaker 1: And did you pack with that in mind?
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, I've packed. I always pick a color palette. Wow,
Speaker 3: when I travel.
Speaker 2: Do you try it on before you go, or do
Speaker 2: you just know inherently because you've kind of worn them before.
Speaker 3: I just kind of know. I think it's my job
Speaker 3: to know.
Speaker 1: Yes, hopefully. Yeah, So it kind of.
Speaker 3: Works out, but it's kind of fool proof as well
Speaker 3: when you can see it there in your y. It's
Speaker 3: all mixing and matching. But I mean, if it's a
Speaker 3: piece you haven't worn in maybe six months, give it
Speaker 3: a go.
Speaker 2: Yeah, make sure it's still and you still love it.
Speaker 2: The three color anything else. Before we do bougie and budget, we'll.
Speaker 3: Do the sandwich because that is just so easy. You
Speaker 3: go for the same color in your shoe and your
Speaker 3: top and you have a different color in the middle.
Speaker 1: Oh good, that's even easier for me.
Speaker 3: So you can go white snickers.
Speaker 2: I was about to say white and white and denim.
Speaker 2: He's like, yeah, my whole wardrobe. And then I might
Speaker 2: chuck in a different colored tailored pant, but white and white.
Speaker 3: Like a printed skirt.
Speaker 1: Oh yes, that's how I could do my prints.
Speaker 2: Yes, the sandwich, So you just go feet in top
Speaker 2: sor it they match, and then you can kind of
Speaker 2: slide in anything on the bottoms in the middle. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I love these two formulas. Do you have any more
Speaker 2: and how can people find out about them?
Speaker 3: Yes? I do have guys, so please jump onto the website.
Speaker 3: You'll see them all there. I have guys for all
Speaker 3: different types of colors, shapes and outfit styles.
Speaker 1: And what is the website.
Speaker 3: It's Tina Avesacre dot com.
Speaker 1: And we'll pop a link in the show note.
Speaker 3: Thank you.
Speaker 2: It's very expensive, honey, how wond are these all? Right?
Speaker 2: Let's do bougie and budget. So I guess I'm kind
Speaker 2: of talking versatile items. Would you like to start with
Speaker 2: your bougie or your budget?
Speaker 3: Oh, let me tell you a bougie. It's not very
Speaker 3: bougie's okay.
Speaker 1: Boogie is different to everyone.
Speaker 3: It's one hundred and fifty dollars.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 3: It is a shirt dress from the Cuba.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 3: And it is like a cotton linen and you can
Speaker 3: wear it as a dress. And it's actually like a
Speaker 3: leopard print. Oh, I really want to wear it with
Speaker 3: a white singlet. Yes, my slouchy denim cool black slides.
Speaker 1: Love it.
Speaker 3: And then I put this dress over the top so
Speaker 3: it's open open.
Speaker 1: Where does it fall? Is it like MIDI knee?
Speaker 3: It's like MIDI.
Speaker 1: Okay, wow, that is very cool.
Speaker 2: But shirts over pants is back again, and dresses over pants.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well this kind of looks like long shirt.
Speaker 1: Yeah it does, and then how good would that be
Speaker 1: over swimmers?
Speaker 3: Absolutely?
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, and then it's a dress exactly. Let me
Speaker 1: do my bougie.
Speaker 2: It's not outrageous, but it's more expensive than yours. It's
Speaker 2: the Jerry Cream wool blend Bomber jacket. Now that sounds
Speaker 2: very wintry. It's from Dish. It's two hundred and sixty
Speaker 2: nine dollars and ninety nine cents and it's new. But
Speaker 2: it's this kind of longer bomber because I found a
Speaker 2: lot of the bombers very very cropped going through winter, too,
Speaker 2: cropped for my silhouette and what I like. So I
Speaker 2: was really sizing up. But then the sleeves, you know,
Speaker 2: they've just got this cut.
Speaker 1: Great.
Speaker 2: You could cuffort or push it up, and because it's
Speaker 2: that light color, it's really good for transasonal. Its zips open,
Speaker 2: so you could just wear it cool open like jeans
Speaker 2: or denim shorts or a tea, but it also has
Speaker 2: this really beautiful color. It's kind of dressing enough that
Speaker 2: you could wear it over something quite structured or a
Speaker 2: fancy dress. I'm obsessed with bombers and I'm sessed with
Speaker 2: cream and white, So that's my bougie. Now, you and
Speaker 2: I both love thrifting because I feel like it's not
Speaker 2: real shopping, kind of feels like your wardrobe. But someone else, yes,
Speaker 2: it's stressing up.
Speaker 1: Its stress up and it's cheaper.
Speaker 2: So talk to you about thrifting and how we could
Speaker 2: make that work with what we've already got.
Speaker 3: So, if we're looking at trying new colors, a thrift
Speaker 3: store is amazing because they're not kind of blocked into trends,
Speaker 3: current trends. They literally have anything and everything, so it's
Speaker 3: a great place to try new colors, try new silhouettes.
Speaker 3: And also if you are maybe not a particular size
Speaker 3: in one brand, but you really like the aesthetic, you
Speaker 3: can try and find that aesthetic in a thrift store
Speaker 3: as well.
Speaker 1: That's very true.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's worth trying things on because I think
Speaker 2: even you know there's thrifting, then there's sort of vintage
Speaker 2: and sizes were so different, you know, ten and twenty
Speaker 2: thirty years ago that don't just look at the label
Speaker 2: when you're sifting.
Speaker 3: Try it on, Try it on, take your take coffee,
Speaker 3: set aside hour, a couple of hours. It's actually quite fun.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, I love it. We have to go
Speaker 1: thrifting to it.
Speaker 2: We do. My budget is a linen mini shift dress.
Speaker 2: You know how we're sort of seeing them everywhere. They're
Speaker 2: a bit fifties, are they? Or I don't know, retro
Speaker 2: retro they're retro. I love that.
Speaker 1: When I don't know the season. It's from Verge Girl.
Speaker 1: I love that brand. Yeah, I just found out. It's
Speaker 1: Ossy Dozzy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, not know that.
Speaker 2: Everything's sort of a bit hippie bohemian, but in a
Speaker 2: very elevated way. So this is like a straight neck,
Speaker 2: almost bootneckat neck, very gentle boat neck, and then it
Speaker 2: just falls and it's got buttons all the way down
Speaker 2: the side.
Speaker 1: You have it, I'm getting it.
Speaker 3: It's white with black buttered.
Speaker 1: Well this is kh key with brown buttons.
Speaker 2: Oh. She's got a little sort of ballet flat on
Speaker 2: which I love sand or great, you could do a heel.
Speaker 2: I just think that really kind of retro shift dress
Speaker 2: is great.
Speaker 1: And again it's short, but it's not tight and it's
Speaker 1: not too short.
Speaker 2: No, I mean, I've seen some that are short short,
Speaker 2: but also because it's shifty, you can kind of size
Speaker 2: up a bit to get more lenked because it's already boxy.
Speaker 1: It's not meant to be fitted.
Speaker 3: Right, No, it's not meant to be so you can
Speaker 3: kind of yeah, there's leeway, there's leeway.
Speaker 2: So it's one hundred and twenty nine dollars and if
Speaker 2: you've got it in the other color, I'm definitely clicking
Speaker 2: to buy now. So that is our versa topics. Tina,
