You don't 0:02:33.985 --> 0:02:36.065 have to go through bunches of links and trying to 0:02:36.105 --> 0:02:37.025 find certain things. 0:02:37.065 --> 0:02:38.865 You are a genius, Thank you. 0:02:39.385 --> 0:02:41.785 And everyone will go through a little style quiz when 0:02:41.785 --> 0:02:44.505 they come in, so then you'll know exactly what kind 0:02:44.505 --> 0:02:46.585 of content you're going to be searching for and that 0:02:46.625 --> 0:02:47.825 we can provide for you. 0:02:47.545 --> 0:02:48.465 You are so clever. 0:02:48.585 --> 0:02:50.985 We've been doing this for over a decade, so evolution 0:02:51.265 --> 0:02:53.305 was inevitable and I'm so proud of you, and there 0:02:53.345 --> 0:02:55.225 is no one better to talk to about this topic. 0:02:55.265 --> 0:02:57.905 So we've got a dressing room dilemma from a listener 0:02:58.305 --> 0:03:02.105 who said, how can I create new outfits from clothes 0:03:02.145 --> 0:03:04.625 I already own? I feel I always see people making 0:03:04.665 --> 0:03:08.185 really cool, new and fashionable combinations and I don't really 0:03:08.225 --> 0:03:10.785 know where to start. It just looks like I got 0:03:10.865 --> 0:03:11.625 dressed in the dark. 0:03:11.905 --> 0:03:15.545 You've got a phrase I do so pick well style often. 0:03:15.505 --> 0:03:18.585 Well style often. Yes, So you are truly the best 0:03:18.625 --> 0:03:21.105 person to talk to. Let me ask some questions, but 0:03:21.145 --> 0:03:23.425 then just jump in with your advice because your brain 0:03:23.505 --> 0:03:25.345 is like an encyclopedia for this kind of thing. 0:03:25.945 --> 0:03:26.585 What are some. 0:03:26.545 --> 0:03:30.625 Common wardrobe mistakes people make that prevent them from getting 0:03:30.625 --> 0:03:32.385 the most out of the clothes they do already have 0:03:32.465 --> 0:03:33.265 in their wardrobe. 0:03:33.305 --> 0:03:36.745 I think when you're looking at really unique colors that 0:03:36.865 --> 0:03:40.345 don't really sit well with the other clothes you have 0:03:40.545 --> 0:03:43.305 in your wardrobe, I think it's so fine to try 0:03:43.585 --> 0:03:46.545 bits and pieces as long as you have like about 0:03:46.545 --> 0:03:49.105 eighty percent of your wardrobe that really mixes the match 0:03:49.145 --> 0:03:50.145 as well with each other. 0:03:50.345 --> 0:03:54.025 So let's talk about approaching mixing and matching and knowing 0:03:54.065 --> 0:03:56.945 what items to even start experimenting with. You know, we're 0:03:56.945 --> 0:03:59.145 not going to the shops yet, we're in our wardrobe. 0:03:59.345 --> 0:04:02.185 The first step would be bring out all of your neutrals. 0:04:02.545 --> 0:04:05.465 So that's your blacks, your whites, your tens, your denim 0:04:05.825 --> 0:04:13.385 if you don't absolutely and also like khaki, yeah, gray, yeah, ray, 0:04:13.665 --> 0:04:14.385 all of those are. 0:04:14.465 --> 0:04:17.065 Not your bold kind of prints and primary colors. 0:04:17.345 --> 0:04:19.665 No, And so what I like to do is take 0:04:19.745 --> 0:04:22.865 two colors from the neutrals and then take a bold 0:04:22.905 --> 0:04:25.305 color if you do have that in your wardrobe, and 0:04:25.345 --> 0:04:28.985 pop it in so it's three colors. Oh clever, and 0:04:29.025 --> 0:04:31.585 you'll always look put together if you've got three colors 0:04:31.625 --> 0:04:32.185 going on in. 0:04:32.145 --> 0:04:35.225 Your okay, So like for me at the moment, I'm 0:04:35.265 --> 0:04:36.985 loving gray and navy, so I could play with my 0:04:36.985 --> 0:04:39.225 gray navy pieces and I kind of like, I've got 0:04:39.225 --> 0:04:40.385 a lot of dark denim that I love. 0:04:40.625 --> 0:04:41.425 Then I could add my. 0:04:41.385 --> 0:04:44.025 Reds absolutely, because I've been struggling with my reds because 0:04:44.025 --> 0:04:47.465 I've been thinking black. Then that feels too harsh, That 0:04:47.625 --> 0:04:48.305 is so clever. 0:04:48.705 --> 0:04:50.665 Well, I've got my red sneakers on today, but I've 0:04:50.665 --> 0:04:53.185 got them with white pets. Black got and it got 0:04:53.185 --> 0:04:53.825 black at the top. 0:04:53.945 --> 0:04:54.825 That looks good. 0:04:54.905 --> 0:04:56.505 Yeah, I was trying to do all black with a 0:04:56.545 --> 0:04:59.105 pop of red, and it felt like that woman just 0:04:59.145 --> 0:05:00.705 really wants to wear that red item, which is. 0:05:00.785 --> 0:05:01.465 What it was. 0:05:01.625 --> 0:05:04.265 Because then there's only two colors that you do add 0:05:04.265 --> 0:05:07.265 in a third color and suddenly it's more of an outfit. 0:05:07.625 --> 0:05:09.585 And do you find when you're chatting to clients within 0:05:09.745 --> 0:05:12.905 that neutral's wardrobe, do they generally have more of one 0:05:12.985 --> 0:05:14.985 or two colors, like they are a gray or a 0:05:15.025 --> 0:05:16.105 beige or a white. 0:05:16.465 --> 0:05:19.305 It's usually a lot of black because people feel safe 0:05:19.305 --> 0:05:21.345 and black. But I actually think black is one of 0:05:21.345 --> 0:05:25.945 the hardest colors. I'm discovering two style because it's so standalone. 0:05:25.985 --> 0:05:29.225 It's almost a statement in itself. So if I'm wearing black, 0:05:29.225 --> 0:05:31.545 I like to lean in all black and add like 0:05:31.545 --> 0:05:33.465 a bit of detail with my accessory. 0:05:33.545 --> 0:05:34.345 Yes, bag. 0:05:34.545 --> 0:05:37.025 That's so funny because packing for my holiday, I've pulled 0:05:37.065 --> 0:05:39.185 out sort of my neutrals. I've done almost what you're 0:05:39.225 --> 0:05:41.665 telling us to do, and then I had some black pieces. 0:05:41.665 --> 0:05:43.665 I thought, Oh, I have to take these because they're classic. 0:05:43.705 --> 0:05:45.585 But then when I looked at the combinations, they went 0:05:45.665 --> 0:05:47.745 with less amount of things. It was more of a 0:05:47.785 --> 0:05:51.385 gray blazer than a black blazer or a white And yeah, 0:05:51.425 --> 0:05:54.265 you're right. Black is a classic, but it doesn't always 0:05:54.345 --> 0:05:55.865 go with that much no. 0:05:55.865 --> 0:05:58.145 And it gets you into these situations where it's like 0:05:58.225 --> 0:06:01.385 two clashing big colors, like you're red and you're black. 0:06:01.545 --> 0:06:04.105 Yes, so big about allow too, because I've got a beautiful, 0:06:04.305 --> 0:06:06.985 fine yellow knit I've been trying to wear. But again, 0:06:07.065 --> 0:06:09.265 I've been reaching for black mindlessly and it just was 0:06:09.305 --> 0:06:12.225 too hot. One of your tips you talk about is 0:06:12.265 --> 0:06:15.145 to look at the detailing on fabrics and on items. 0:06:15.185 --> 0:06:16.745 Talk to me about the details. 0:06:17.545 --> 0:06:21.025 So when you're looking at a shirt, think about where 0:06:21.265 --> 0:06:24.025 you can unbutton it too to create a different neckline 0:06:24.065 --> 0:06:26.985 for yourself. Look at if the buttons are functional on 0:06:27.065 --> 0:06:30.345 the sleeve so you can change the sleeve length as well. Yes, 0:06:30.625 --> 0:06:32.585 look at if it's a shirt dress, look at how 0:06:32.625 --> 0:06:35.305 you can completely unbutton it and wear it as a 0:06:35.385 --> 0:06:39.625 caftan overswimwear or a singlet and jeans. So think about 0:06:39.745 --> 0:06:42.225 ways you can wear the piece other than what it's 0:06:42.265 --> 0:06:43.025 intended for. 0:06:43.145 --> 0:06:45.585 Yes, so it can be more kind of multi use exactly, 0:06:45.745 --> 0:06:48.665 that's clever. That's often a fail of mind online shopping. 0:06:48.945 --> 0:06:50.945 That's some you know, more affordable brands, which is fine, 0:06:50.945 --> 0:06:52.865 but the buttons won't even be functional, like why didn't 0:06:52.865 --> 0:06:54.105 you give me a hole for my button? 0:06:54.265 --> 0:06:56.825 Exactly? But then you know that's where you're saving on costs, 0:06:56.825 --> 0:06:59.265 But then you need to buy another shirt to be 0:06:59.305 --> 0:07:01.265 able to make new combinations. 0:07:01.425 --> 0:07:05.065 So it's so true on that. Do you have tips 0:07:05.065 --> 0:07:06.945 for shopping online to look at details? Like? 0:07:06.945 --> 0:07:08.825 Are you a zoomer in er on the pictures? 0:07:09.065 --> 0:07:11.905 I zoom all the way in. I look at every 0:07:11.985 --> 0:07:16.785 single photo. I look at the fabric, detail, the percentage, So. 0:07:16.705 --> 0:07:17.865 You're pretty good with the fabric. 0:07:17.865 --> 0:07:20.785 I'm just getting into like understanding well actually just looking 0:07:20.825 --> 0:07:22.305 at the tab where it says you know, wool or 0:07:22.305 --> 0:07:24.465 lien all vis goes. I've only just started that. But 0:07:24.505 --> 0:07:26.825 it's important when shopping online for details. 0:07:26.425 --> 0:07:29.465 Absolutely, especially when it's an item you would like to 0:07:29.465 --> 0:07:31.945 wear a few times during the week, and so you 0:07:31.985 --> 0:07:35.225 want it to be able to like dry quickly. You're 0:07:35.265 --> 0:07:37.505 not going to want to dry clean it every week, 0:07:37.665 --> 0:07:40.265 no way. Then you're looking at fabrics that might be 0:07:40.345 --> 0:07:43.625 really wrinkle resistant or heavily wrinkled like so these are 0:07:43.665 --> 0:07:46.385 all things that will make me reach for it less 0:07:46.465 --> 0:07:47.905 or more. So that's why fabric is. 0:07:47.905 --> 0:07:50.185 Important, because again, you know people might travel for work 0:07:50.185 --> 0:07:52.625 and it might be in a suitcase. If it's wrinkled, 0:07:53.025 --> 0:07:55.145 you're not gonna iron it. You don't have time. No 0:07:55.185 --> 0:07:55.745 one does. 0:07:56.025 --> 0:07:56.185 No. 0:07:56.545 --> 0:07:58.825 You are a huge fan of the throw on and 0:07:58.865 --> 0:08:01.145 go dress. You came up with that acronym and I 0:08:01.225 --> 0:08:03.985 love it. I'm in two minds about this. A throw 0:08:04.025 --> 0:08:06.465 on a go dress, I guess is completely versatile because 0:08:06.665 --> 0:08:08.545 you chuck it on, it's one piece of clothing and 0:08:08.585 --> 0:08:11.665 then you're not naked. But is it versatile? Talk to 0:08:11.665 --> 0:08:13.985 me about your throw on and go theory with dresses. 0:08:14.665 --> 0:08:18.705 So it is versatile if that is your personal style. 0:08:19.025 --> 0:08:21.185 So some people might be like, oh, I don't like 0:08:21.225 --> 0:08:25.825 wearing dresses. That's fine, So find a piece of clothing 0:08:25.905 --> 0:08:28.625 that you feel like yourself you can throw it on. 0:08:28.705 --> 0:08:30.785 So it might be a jumpsuit, it might be a 0:08:30.825 --> 0:08:35.865 printed pant, it might be a one shoulder fitted bodysuit. 0:08:36.705 --> 0:08:39.865 But if that's your version of I pop it on 0:08:39.945 --> 0:08:42.705 and I feel great. That's your version. 0:08:42.785 --> 0:08:44.225 Yes, it doesn't have to be a dress. 0:08:44.345 --> 0:08:45.465 It doesn't have to be a dress. 0:08:45.585 --> 0:08:47.785 Did it start from the dress though, because you literally 0:08:47.785 --> 0:08:49.265 don't even have to think of a second item. 0:08:49.585 --> 0:08:52.065 Yes, so it started because I used to go into 0:08:52.065 --> 0:08:55.065 work on a Monday morning, I had to commute two 0:08:55.065 --> 0:08:57.185 hours and the last thing I want to think about 0:08:57.265 --> 0:08:59.545 is what am I going to wear? So this way, 0:08:59.625 --> 0:09:01.785 I can just pop on one piece of clothing and 0:09:01.865 --> 0:09:04.505 I'm done. I'm polished. And I love a dress with 0:09:04.545 --> 0:09:06.745 a print on it as well, because again you're adding 0:09:06.745 --> 0:09:10.385 interest without having to add too much. True, and you 0:09:10.425 --> 0:09:12.025 put on a simple shoe and you're good. 0:09:12.185 --> 0:09:15.105 Yeah, that's fascinating because you just said print, Whereas I 0:09:15.145 --> 0:09:16.785 guess I'm a bit more classic in that way. I've 0:09:16.785 --> 0:09:19.825 got two actually, they're both dishes and the same dress, 0:09:19.825 --> 0:09:22.425 different colors. I've realized one's a navy and one's a 0:09:22.585 --> 0:09:26.505 light gray linen, sort of a line throw on and 0:09:26.545 --> 0:09:28.785 go yep. And I've worn it with sneakers and a 0:09:28.785 --> 0:09:31.705 denim jacket or a trench or with sandals in summer, 0:09:31.745 --> 0:09:33.545 and it literally is my throat, on and go when 0:09:33.545 --> 0:09:35.825 I don't have time to think, I know it fits me. 0:09:36.185 --> 0:09:36.785 I love this. 0:09:36.865 --> 0:09:40.345 Okay, colors, we want to make something feel fresh, We 0:09:40.385 --> 0:09:43.065 want to mix and match with our wardrobe. But do 0:09:43.145 --> 0:09:45.225 we go and then maybe buy a pop of color 0:09:45.265 --> 0:09:46.705 once we've worked out our neutrals? 0:09:46.705 --> 0:09:48.265 How do we feel fresh with color? 0:09:48.545 --> 0:09:51.025 So again it comes back down to if you are 0:09:51.065 --> 0:09:53.305 a color person, Yes, so you might. 0:09:53.625 --> 0:09:56.025 There's a lot of coming this summer, right there is. 0:09:56.185 --> 0:09:57.825 There's a lot of print coming too. 0:09:58.785 --> 0:09:59.305 In the US. 0:09:59.345 --> 0:10:01.385 So you've just lived the summer we're about to go 0:10:01.425 --> 0:10:03.505 into exactly. Hey, tell us a bit about. 0:10:03.305 --> 0:10:05.545 That first Okay, So there was a lot of white, 0:10:05.745 --> 0:10:08.225 lots of bubble skirt, silver, lamb. 0:10:08.265 --> 0:10:10.905 I'm leaving that one. I remember it the first time. 0:10:11.065 --> 0:10:13.425 Yes, it was around back in high school. 0:10:13.425 --> 0:10:14.145 Back in high school. 0:10:14.185 --> 0:10:16.865 But I wonder maybe if it's better this time, or 0:10:16.905 --> 0:10:18.345 if I just leave it? 0:10:18.585 --> 0:10:21.105 Are you doing the bubble now, I'm doing a maxi. 0:10:20.905 --> 0:10:23.265 Okay, yeah, I think that's a bit more wearable. And 0:10:23.265 --> 0:10:24.945 then color and print. Tell me what you saw. 0:10:25.225 --> 0:10:29.785 So I saw a leap of print. Yeah, animal print, Yes, red, red, green. 0:10:30.025 --> 0:10:31.985 I'm glad red still around now that. 0:10:32.105 --> 0:10:35.385 We're going into autumn winter in LA and the US, 0:10:35.665 --> 0:10:37.145 it's a cherry red. 0:10:37.345 --> 0:10:39.145 Okay, so a bit deeper, a bit. 0:10:38.945 --> 0:10:41.825 Deeper, but you can bring your summer red through great. 0:10:42.145 --> 0:10:43.505 And I've still got my winter red, so I'll just 0:10:43.585 --> 0:10:45.105 keep wearing that through summer and back into winter. 0:10:45.265 --> 0:10:45.585 Yeah. 0:10:45.625 --> 0:10:48.385 Perfect. And I'm seeing a lot of baby blue, which 0:10:48.425 --> 0:10:51.425 I love. Yes, me too, Okay, Yeah, de Cuba have 0:10:51.545 --> 0:10:53.145 some great baby blue pieces. 0:10:53.265 --> 0:10:56.225 Okay, So say someone they're mixing and matching with what 0:10:56.265 --> 0:10:57.625 they've already got, but they do want to go and 0:10:57.665 --> 0:10:59.865 have a look at the spring offering. How do we 0:10:59.905 --> 0:11:01.505 add a little bit of color? Is it back to 0:11:01.545 --> 0:11:04.465 the three color theory? Do they wear their neutrals to 0:11:04.505 --> 0:11:06.025 the store to try the color? 0:11:06.145 --> 0:11:06.945 How do we do that? 0:11:07.425 --> 0:11:10.385 Yeah? So that's a great idea actually, where things that 0:11:10.425 --> 0:11:13.945 you would consider a base so for some people might 0:11:13.945 --> 0:11:16.505 be black linen pants. For someone it might be wide 0:11:16.585 --> 0:11:19.585 legged jeans. Wear that and then try it on, you know, 0:11:19.705 --> 0:11:21.785 and you really get a real time feel for what 0:11:21.785 --> 0:11:22.505 it's going to look like. 0:11:22.505 --> 0:11:23.225 It's so true. 0:11:23.345 --> 0:11:25.665 Yeah. I often wear leggings because I just think I'm 0:11:25.705 --> 0:11:27.185 going to be changing lots, and I'm like, why didn't 0:11:27.185 --> 0:11:28.905 I wear a cut of jean that I have one 0:11:28.985 --> 0:11:31.065 hundred pairs of and that I wear all the time 0:11:31.225 --> 0:11:33.385 to know if the top looks good rather than silly leggings. 0:11:33.545 --> 0:11:35.665 Yes, you know when sometimes you put something on and 0:11:35.705 --> 0:11:37.545 you think, oh, if only I had my hair done 0:11:37.585 --> 0:11:38.505 or my mate cup done, it. 0:11:38.505 --> 0:11:41.185 Would look yes, great, Yeah, So putting it in a 0:11:41.185 --> 0:11:42.505 tiny bit of effort, yeah. 0:11:42.345 --> 0:11:44.665 Yeah, put in a tiny bit of effort, or order 0:11:44.705 --> 0:11:45.665 it to your home. 0:11:45.665 --> 0:11:49.065 Yes, you know, and just check the returns policy exactly, Yeah, 0:11:49.185 --> 0:11:50.985 I do that. Or yeah, if it's you know, Zara, 0:11:50.985 --> 0:11:52.905 and I know I can return all the iconic Say 0:11:52.945 --> 0:11:54.505 I got home from work and I look af decent, 0:11:54.505 --> 0:11:56.625 I'll do all my try on then, yes, because then 0:11:56.625 --> 0:11:58.225 you know, okay, this is going to work. And then 0:11:58.225 --> 0:11:59.785 you've just got to make sure you take the returns 0:11:59.785 --> 0:12:02.065 well back before the end of it. 0:12:02.425 --> 0:12:05.745 I mean figuring all this out. It can be really simple, 0:12:06.505 --> 0:12:07.785 but it can take time. 0:12:07.945 --> 0:12:09.225 Yes, it does take time. 0:12:09.305 --> 0:12:19.145 Yeah. 0:12:19.425 --> 0:12:22.225 So we just spoke about color, but not everyone loves color. 0:12:22.545 --> 0:12:24.265 Talk to me about the accessories. 0:12:24.345 --> 0:12:26.065 What do we do. We don't have to do color. 0:12:26.665 --> 0:12:29.465 We don't have to do color. And also it depends 0:12:29.505 --> 0:12:32.225 again personal style. If you do want to pop of 0:12:32.345 --> 0:12:34.665 something that that's where I love ringing in like an 0:12:34.705 --> 0:12:39.265 earring or a necklace or a bag with really interesting detail. 0:12:39.865 --> 0:12:42.145 But living that aside as well, I would say look 0:12:42.145 --> 0:12:45.025 at silhouette. So look at the shape of your clothes. 0:12:45.425 --> 0:12:50.345 So maybe a VOLUMEUS sleeve, maybe an asymmetrical hemline. 0:12:49.985 --> 0:12:51.705 Yes, which is back again as well. 0:12:51.545 --> 0:12:54.065 It is, and maybe that's more your cup of tea. 0:12:54.145 --> 0:12:56.625 Like I know, I have clients that only wear neutrals 0:12:56.905 --> 0:13:00.065 like black and tan, So we play with silhouette. 0:13:00.105 --> 0:13:00.785 Yeah exactly. 0:13:00.865 --> 0:13:03.105 So when you know blazers were fitted five years ago, 0:13:03.145 --> 0:13:05.425 now they're oversize, so it's still a black blazer, but 0:13:05.465 --> 0:13:10.305 the cut is different. Everything comes back exactly with a 0:13:10.345 --> 0:13:11.705 slight twist. 0:13:11.905 --> 0:13:13.505 So then you're going to get the new thing anyway. 0:13:13.585 --> 0:13:15.905 But we are talking about mixing and matching what we 0:13:15.985 --> 0:13:19.465 already have prints that sounds hard for me because I'm 0:13:19.505 --> 0:13:20.025 not a print. 0:13:20.185 --> 0:13:21.225 You're more a print than me. 0:13:22.025 --> 0:13:24.265 We've got prints in our wardrobe, how do we work 0:13:24.305 --> 0:13:25.065 out how to wear them? 0:13:25.065 --> 0:13:28.305 More So, again, it would be maybe putting it with 0:13:29.105 --> 0:13:32.185 a neutral color that you don't usually pair it with. 0:13:32.305 --> 0:13:35.425 So when I think leopard print straight away, I'm going 0:13:35.505 --> 0:13:38.505 to go for a black blazer, for example, But a 0:13:38.545 --> 0:13:42.065 beige trench would look really good as well. Yes, a 0:13:42.105 --> 0:13:44.185 denim jacket great. 0:13:44.465 --> 0:13:46.945 Yes, So something a bit classic and a block color. 0:13:46.985 --> 0:13:50.665 Maybe that's not another print exactly? Yeah, print scary? Can 0:13:50.705 --> 0:13:53.025 you do like a whole course on Prince. 0:13:53.145 --> 0:13:56.425 Into print clashing? Oh my goodness, it's so fun to 0:13:56.665 --> 0:13:57.465 clash prints. 0:13:57.665 --> 0:13:59.945 I love fashion, but when I try to clash prints, 0:13:59.945 --> 0:14:02.025 it just looks like I got dressed at three am 0:14:02.105 --> 0:14:03.065 and didn't turn the light on. 0:14:03.185 --> 0:14:04.625 I need I need a lesson in that. 0:14:04.945 --> 0:14:07.305 If I can give you two tips, yes please. One 0:14:07.625 --> 0:14:11.745 is make sure the prints are similar tones okay, so 0:14:11.785 --> 0:14:14.745 they're both warm tones or they're both cool tones. And 0:14:14.865 --> 0:14:17.425 also having like similar size of print. 0:14:17.225 --> 0:14:18.305 Okay is helpful. 0:14:18.425 --> 0:14:20.545 So if it's like a smaller leopard print and then 0:14:20.585 --> 0:14:23.785 a smaller check or something rather than a giant check. 0:14:23.985 --> 0:14:27.065 Okay, yeah, it kind of makes the eye go over 0:14:27.145 --> 0:14:27.785 the outfie. 0:14:28.505 --> 0:14:29.305 WHOA, what she done? 0:14:29.545 --> 0:14:31.065 It's okay. 0:14:31.665 --> 0:14:34.865 How important is it that we invest in quality pieces 0:14:35.305 --> 0:14:37.865 and how can they elevate the rest of our wardrobe? 0:14:37.865 --> 0:14:40.825 And I want to point out quality doesn't mean expensive, No, 0:14:41.185 --> 0:14:42.745 what's your definition of quality? 0:14:42.865 --> 0:14:46.225 Quality to me is something that's functional, so it actually 0:14:46.265 --> 0:14:50.665 allows you to use and move in the clothes. So 0:14:50.785 --> 0:14:53.025 if it's a jacket and I'm wearing it in winter, 0:14:53.425 --> 0:14:56.225 it has to keep me warm. Yes, okay, So I'm 0:14:56.225 --> 0:14:58.785 looking for something that has a little bit of viscos 0:14:58.905 --> 0:15:01.785 or wool or something that is going to keep me warm. 0:15:01.865 --> 0:15:04.905 If I'm wearing these shoes all day, they have to 0:15:04.905 --> 0:15:08.345 give me support because I'm flat footed. Yes, so it's 0:15:08.665 --> 0:15:11.465 looking at those Detai tells. First start from there and 0:15:11.505 --> 0:15:13.025 then work your way around it. 0:15:13.105 --> 0:15:17.465 Okay to more of the I guess superficial stuff like aesthetics. Aesthetics, 0:15:17.465 --> 0:15:19.705 that's right, that's so true. And you're big on making 0:15:19.745 --> 0:15:22.065 sure shoes a comfy. I love your rating on Instagram 0:15:22.145 --> 0:15:24.785 of how comfory a shoe is because I look at 0:15:24.785 --> 0:15:26.745 all the stillo doos I still have and would never 0:15:26.825 --> 0:15:28.745 reach for and even the flat shoes I've bought that 0:15:29.185 --> 0:15:31.425 I thought would be comfy, I never reach for them. 0:15:31.465 --> 0:15:33.225 I think, oh, maybe I'll wear them next week because 0:15:33.265 --> 0:15:34.025 I've spent the money. 0:15:34.305 --> 0:15:37.025 But if they're not comfy, if they're not comfory, you're 0:15:37.025 --> 0:15:38.505 not going to reach for them. You know, it doesn't 0:15:38.545 --> 0:15:41.945 matter how expensive or cheap they were, Yes, if you're 0:15:41.945 --> 0:15:42.585 not using them. 0:15:42.745 --> 0:15:45.585 Yeah, So quality is pretty much cost perware, like how 0:15:45.665 --> 0:15:49.225 much you love the item. Let's talk hero pieces. Sometimes 0:15:49.225 --> 0:15:51.505 a hero piece is something I just love and want 0:15:51.505 --> 0:15:54.185 to get more wear out of. How can we identify 0:15:54.225 --> 0:15:56.505 the hero pieces in our wardrobe and get more wear 0:15:56.505 --> 0:15:56.985 out of them? 0:15:57.025 --> 0:16:01.185 A hero piece lights you up? Yes, it is really 0:16:01.225 --> 0:16:04.185 aligned with the message you want to give out with 0:16:04.225 --> 0:16:08.505 your outfit. So you know, it might be a pop 0:16:08.505 --> 0:16:11.225 of red, it might be a design, a handbag, might 0:16:11.305 --> 0:16:15.025 be part of your style identities. You love wearing linen, 0:16:15.265 --> 0:16:17.825 so maybe it's a beautiful long linen dress. 0:16:17.985 --> 0:16:22.265 Yes, it's a motive for you, Yes, exactly, and then 0:16:22.265 --> 0:16:24.585 you feel good. I've got a jacket that I wear 0:16:24.625 --> 0:16:27.305 when I want to feel powerful. It came to mind 0:16:27.345 --> 0:16:29.625 it's my hero piece or one of my hero pieces, 0:16:29.625 --> 0:16:32.905 and it just makes me feel confident. Amazing layering and 0:16:33.025 --> 0:16:36.985 transitional outfits and seasons in Sydney here or in spring 0:16:37.305 --> 0:16:39.945 we had a really rainy, cold winter, then all of 0:16:39.985 --> 0:16:42.345 a sudden there were summer. Who knows what's happening tomorrow? 0:16:43.225 --> 0:16:45.705 How can we use the pieces in our wardrobe in 0:16:45.705 --> 0:16:47.145 these weird weather times? 0:16:47.945 --> 0:16:51.945 So A, layering pieces are best when they're thin fabrics 0:16:52.145 --> 0:16:55.425 on the thinner side, so you can literally layer. Yes, 0:16:55.985 --> 0:16:59.025 I love using like maybe a white T shirt or 0:16:59.065 --> 0:17:01.985 a white singlet to give a pop of something underneath 0:17:02.025 --> 0:17:05.505 a knit, you know, underneath a jacket as well. I 0:17:05.545 --> 0:17:09.225 love using long sleeves to kind of pick the cuff 0:17:09.305 --> 0:17:13.705 out from below my jacket, adding another layer. 0:17:14.145 --> 0:17:15.945 And it looks like you've put in effort. It looks 0:17:16.025 --> 0:17:16.905
