Speaker 4: fashion weeks, street star, even just how to get the

18
00:00:56,234 --> 00:00:58,434
Speaker 4: most out of the clothes you already own. But Chelse,

19
00:00:58,474 --> 00:00:59,634
Speaker 4: what are we talking about today?

20
00:00:59,914 --> 00:01:03,114
Speaker 2: So Best of Season is officially over, we're into the

21
00:01:03,154 --> 00:01:06,354
Speaker 2: new year, and you're feeling as deflated as we are.

22
00:01:06,394 --> 00:01:09,074
Speaker 2: It's okay, because the new year is the best time

23
00:01:09,234 --> 00:01:11,554
Speaker 2: to really look at your wardrobe and do a refresh,

24
00:01:11,594 --> 00:01:13,674
Speaker 2: particularly when it comes to work out fits. As we

25
00:01:13,794 --> 00:01:16,354
Speaker 2: get back into the office. So today we want to

26
00:01:16,354 --> 00:01:20,074
Speaker 2: break down how to reinvent your work wardrobe without having

27
00:01:20,154 --> 00:01:21,354
Speaker 2: to break the bank.

28
00:01:21,394 --> 00:01:24,194
Speaker 1: Nice because it's like they can feel a bit drab.

29
00:01:23,994 --> 00:01:26,474
Speaker 4: Can't they Like the clothes you wore all last year

30
00:01:26,474 --> 00:01:28,554
Speaker 4: into the office every single year, you just want a

31
00:01:28,594 --> 00:01:30,314
Speaker 4: little bit of a refresh, So how can we do

32
00:01:30,434 --> 00:01:32,114
Speaker 4: that with the clothes we already own?

33
00:01:32,314 --> 00:01:34,554
Speaker 1: All right? So, Chelse, I love what you're wearing today.

34
00:01:34,754 --> 00:01:36,714
Speaker 1: I love that the little box of shorts and an

35
00:01:36,714 --> 00:01:37,714
Speaker 1: oversized shirt.

36
00:01:38,394 --> 00:01:41,434
Speaker 4: For the summer days where it's boiling outside, do you

37
00:01:41,474 --> 00:01:44,514
Speaker 4: have any recommendations on what to wear for that heat

38
00:01:44,634 --> 00:01:46,274
Speaker 4: and that commute on the train, etc.

39
00:01:47,074 --> 00:01:49,074
Speaker 2: We're quite lucky here in the mom of the office

40
00:01:49,114 --> 00:01:51,034
Speaker 2: that the vibe is quite diverse. It can be a

41
00:01:51,034 --> 00:01:53,434
Speaker 2: little bit more casual, but if you are a corporate girl,

42
00:01:53,514 --> 00:01:56,354
Speaker 2: I used to work in a very like traditional conservative

43
00:01:56,394 --> 00:02:00,074
Speaker 2: corporate effs where the dress code is a little bit

44
00:02:00,114 --> 00:02:03,554
Speaker 2: more strict than it can be difficult during those warm

45
00:02:03,554 --> 00:02:05,594
Speaker 2: months getting to and from the office and finger out

46
00:02:05,594 --> 00:02:07,874
Speaker 2: what to wear for me. Back in the day, the

47
00:02:07,954 --> 00:02:14,234
Speaker 2: key was lucish fitting clothing. I think tight skirts tops.

48
00:02:15,034 --> 00:02:17,634
Speaker 2: It really just doesn't do well with the heat. So

49
00:02:17,994 --> 00:02:20,793
Speaker 2: the main uniforms I kind of had were Number one,

50
00:02:20,954 --> 00:02:26,394
Speaker 2: a linen set. Linen in general as material is great, yes, exactly,

51
00:02:26,474 --> 00:02:28,594
Speaker 2: but I would love some sort of pant with a

52
00:02:28,634 --> 00:02:31,794
Speaker 2: linen blazer or even a vest. A vest top I

53
00:02:31,794 --> 00:02:34,034
Speaker 2: think is really great and a way that kind of

54
00:02:34,034 --> 00:02:35,834
Speaker 2: feels dressed up because it is kind of like a

55
00:02:35,834 --> 00:02:36,394
Speaker 2: pair set.

56
00:02:36,554 --> 00:02:38,714
Speaker 4: I love a linen vest like, you know, it's sort

57
00:02:38,714 --> 00:02:41,434
Speaker 4: of popped off a year or two ago, but they've

58
00:02:41,514 --> 00:02:44,154
Speaker 4: stayed consistent and relevant, and I think there's just that

59
00:02:44,274 --> 00:02:47,634
Speaker 4: commercial viability, right. Everyone loves wearing them, and they're so comfortable,

60
00:02:47,754 --> 00:02:48,554
Speaker 4: so comfortable, and.

61
00:02:48,514 --> 00:02:50,474
Speaker 2: Also the thing I love that sets is you can

62
00:02:50,594 --> 00:02:52,914
Speaker 2: kind of break it up and pair it with other pieces,

63
00:02:52,954 --> 00:02:57,154
Speaker 2: so versatile. Next is a silk midi skirt. So middi

64
00:02:57,194 --> 00:03:00,234
Speaker 2: skirt also very very versatile. I'd like to pair it

65
00:03:00,274 --> 00:03:02,394
Speaker 2: with like a button up tuck that in, or even

66
00:03:02,394 --> 00:03:05,714
Speaker 2: like a more structured kind of top. But silk is

67
00:03:05,754 --> 00:03:08,674
Speaker 2: a great material because it is natural fiber, really really

68
00:03:08,754 --> 00:03:11,794
Speaker 2: breathable and perfect for those warmer months. But you're kind

69
00:03:11,794 --> 00:03:14,234
Speaker 2: of commuting to and from the office. It is a

70
00:03:14,234 --> 00:03:17,154
Speaker 2: bit of an investment though, like silk items can be

71
00:03:17,274 --> 00:03:19,794
Speaker 2: quite expensive. One of the ones I have is a

72
00:03:19,794 --> 00:03:22,154
Speaker 2: silk slip Maxi skirt in this kind of mauve color.

73
00:03:22,554 --> 00:03:24,634
Speaker 2: It is three hundred and ninety five dollars, which is

74
00:03:25,074 --> 00:03:27,034
Speaker 2: quite a lot of money, but the amount of wear

75
00:03:27,114 --> 00:03:29,634
Speaker 2: that I get out of it go math. I feel

76
00:03:29,674 --> 00:03:31,394
Speaker 2: like I've made my money back, you know.

77
00:03:31,634 --> 00:03:33,874
Speaker 1: And getting like a nice color like that or a

78
00:03:33,994 --> 00:03:35,874
Speaker 1: mutual color. You will be able to mix and match,

79
00:03:35,874 --> 00:03:36,234
Speaker 1: won't you.

80
00:03:36,314 --> 00:03:38,554
Speaker 2: And also something that doesn't have to be corporate either.

81
00:03:38,714 --> 00:03:40,274
Speaker 2: Nice you can wear it to the office, but you

82
00:03:40,274 --> 00:03:42,154
Speaker 2: can also wear it on the weekend, dressed in in

83
00:03:42,194 --> 00:03:44,394
Speaker 2: different ways, so I love that. And finally some sort

84
00:03:44,394 --> 00:03:46,594
Speaker 2: of a dress that's a lightweight material. I do have

85
00:03:46,594 --> 00:03:48,954
Speaker 2: a linen dress that is a bit more formal but

86
00:03:49,154 --> 00:03:52,834
Speaker 2: still very breathable. I think dresses and skirts are really key,

87
00:03:52,914 --> 00:03:56,554
Speaker 2: just because you've got that circulation, Like a tighter pant

88
00:03:56,594 --> 00:03:58,234
Speaker 2: can be kind of difficult when you're sweating.

89
00:03:58,314 --> 00:03:58,554
Speaker 1: Nice.

90
00:03:58,714 --> 00:04:01,674
Speaker 2: What about you? What are the kind of things that command.

91
00:04:01,434 --> 00:04:03,354
Speaker 1: I've never been super super corporate.

92
00:04:03,434 --> 00:04:05,754
Speaker 4: It's always been in like creative roles or even in

93
00:04:05,794 --> 00:04:06,634
Speaker 4: trend forecast.

94
00:04:06,754 --> 00:04:08,794
Speaker 1: It dependent on the client.

95
00:04:09,474 --> 00:04:11,674
Speaker 4: So like I did have a really corporate client and

96
00:04:11,674 --> 00:04:13,354
Speaker 4: everyone would always know when I was seeing that client,

97
00:04:13,354 --> 00:04:15,714
Speaker 4: because I'd have to dress up relatively corporate.

98
00:04:15,354 --> 00:04:16,154
Speaker 1: To go to meetings.

99
00:04:17,154 --> 00:04:19,514
Speaker 4: But if you were in more like I sort of

100
00:04:19,553 --> 00:04:21,954
Speaker 4: asked some of my friends the other day, like you

101
00:04:22,034 --> 00:04:23,873
Speaker 4: were lawyers, and that's what.

102
00:04:23,714 --> 00:04:24,474
Speaker 1: Would what do you do?

103
00:04:24,553 --> 00:04:26,913
Speaker 4: And it's all about that suiting, whether it be getting

104
00:04:26,914 --> 00:04:31,194
Speaker 4: a half lined or an unlined suit. And if you

105
00:04:31,313 --> 00:04:33,033
Speaker 4: try to figure out where do you how do you

106
00:04:33,073 --> 00:04:35,154
Speaker 4: know if it is or not. It's just if you're googling,

107
00:04:35,313 --> 00:04:37,794
Speaker 4: just put half lined or unline suit.

108
00:04:37,834 --> 00:04:39,953
Speaker 1: Or usually in the description, just say you're searching.

109
00:04:39,953 --> 00:04:42,633
Speaker 4: On Zara, it'll have in the description if it's fully

110
00:04:42,633 --> 00:04:45,713
Speaker 4: lined or not. They're everywhere actually, Zara, Camilla and Mark

111
00:04:45,873 --> 00:04:49,313
Speaker 4: h and M. So depending on your budget. I love

112
00:04:49,393 --> 00:04:54,234
Speaker 4: a short sleeve suit and blazer that sort of oversized

113
00:04:54,354 --> 00:04:56,993
Speaker 4: cool girl vibe. There's a really beautiful one at the

114
00:04:56,993 --> 00:04:57,953
Speaker 4: moment on Zara.

115
00:04:58,073 --> 00:04:58,914
Speaker 1: It's a really.

116
00:04:58,714 --> 00:05:03,354
Speaker 4: Lovely butto color again, big color last season, but I

117
00:05:03,393 --> 00:05:06,073
Speaker 4: still think it's relevant and we'll sort of follow through

118
00:05:06,113 --> 00:05:09,794
Speaker 4: to next year because it plays within that neutral space anyways. Really,

119
00:05:09,834 --> 00:05:12,354
Speaker 4: and this isn't a this isn't yellow. It's very much

120
00:05:12,393 --> 00:05:15,433
Speaker 4: more of a button neutral color. But yeah, that short

121
00:05:15,474 --> 00:05:20,074
Speaker 4: sleeve blazer. It's an oversized not lapel, so it's cool

122
00:05:20,073 --> 00:05:24,113
Speaker 4: girl vibe a soft shoulder pad two hundred dollars. The

123
00:05:24,154 --> 00:05:27,993
Speaker 4: only thing it's eighty percent viscos, which is that semisynthetic.

124
00:05:28,433 --> 00:05:30,313
Speaker 4: Like you said, if it's those really hot days, you

125
00:05:30,313 --> 00:05:33,833
Speaker 4: want a little bit more of a breathable material. But

126
00:05:34,034 --> 00:05:35,354
Speaker 4: for that price of two hundred.

127
00:05:35,113 --> 00:05:36,234
Speaker 2: Dollars, you can't really eat that.

128
00:05:36,474 --> 00:05:37,794
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, and.

129
00:05:37,714 --> 00:05:39,954
Speaker 4: Being short sleeve I really like, but like you said,

130
00:05:39,953 --> 00:05:42,473
Speaker 4: if you cannot for more like the natural materials like

131
00:05:42,513 --> 00:05:46,154
Speaker 4: the silk, cotton, linen, et cetera. Another thing I do

132
00:05:46,274 --> 00:05:48,394
Speaker 4: like with what you're wearing today. Actually, I love an

133
00:05:48,433 --> 00:05:52,794
Speaker 4: oversized shirt, and particularly in summer, if you can go

134
00:05:52,873 --> 00:05:55,313
Speaker 4: through a populum over in oxford shirt.

135
00:05:56,073 --> 00:05:58,594
Speaker 1: So it's just how they look quite similar, Like do

136
00:05:58,633 --> 00:05:59,513
Speaker 1: you know what yours is?

137
00:05:59,513 --> 00:05:59,674
Speaker 3: Is that?

138
00:05:59,794 --> 00:06:01,553
Speaker 1: Not sure actually because you can't really.

139
00:06:01,594 --> 00:06:04,474
Speaker 4: It's just by how it's stitched and woven, so the

140
00:06:04,474 --> 00:06:05,873
Speaker 4: poplin's more breathable.

141
00:06:05,914 --> 00:06:07,474
Speaker 1: So if you're shopping online or in.

142
00:06:07,393 --> 00:06:10,034
Speaker 4: Person, just check it's they're all oversized shirts, but just

143
00:06:10,073 --> 00:06:10,873
Speaker 4: see if it's either.

144
00:06:10,753 --> 00:06:12,874
Speaker 1: A populum or an ox furt. That's interesting because it's

145
00:06:12,873 --> 00:06:13,753
Speaker 1: a little bit more readable.

146
00:06:14,113 --> 00:06:16,993
Speaker 2: So I think we're all guilty of just having the

147
00:06:17,073 --> 00:06:19,594
Speaker 2: same five or six outfits on refit, especially when you're

148
00:06:19,633 --> 00:06:21,993
Speaker 2: going to work every single day in the office, you

149
00:06:22,034 --> 00:06:23,513
Speaker 2: just kind of throw on the same things.

150
00:06:24,073 --> 00:06:26,273
Speaker 1: You feel like, what's on top of the washing that's

151
00:06:26,313 --> 00:06:27,393
Speaker 1: just been cleaned, you just grab.

152
00:06:27,993 --> 00:06:30,793
Speaker 2: I think for me, beginning of the week, I start,

153
00:06:30,873 --> 00:06:32,354
Speaker 2: I put in a little bit more effort. By the

154
00:06:32,354 --> 00:06:37,714
Speaker 2: time you get to Wednesday, Yeah, yeah, what what can

155
00:06:37,753 --> 00:06:39,433
Speaker 2: we do to really kind of break out of that

156
00:06:39,474 --> 00:06:40,474
Speaker 2: pattern and switch it up?

157
00:06:41,594 --> 00:06:43,993
Speaker 4: Like you said, it's so funny. It almost depends on

158
00:06:44,034 --> 00:06:45,833
Speaker 4: the time of year as well. Like you said, at

159
00:06:45,834 --> 00:06:47,473
Speaker 4: the beginning of the week, you're a bit more organized

160
00:06:47,633 --> 00:06:49,594
Speaker 4: the beginning of the year. Like this start of the year,

161
00:06:49,674 --> 00:06:51,873
Speaker 4: I love having a bit more of a plan in place.

162
00:06:52,393 --> 00:06:55,113
Speaker 4: And something I did last year and even the year

163
00:06:55,113 --> 00:06:58,234
Speaker 4: before was each day of the week, have a key

164
00:06:58,354 --> 00:07:00,833
Speaker 4: item that I'd wear and then I'd style that piece.

165
00:07:01,034 --> 00:07:02,913
Speaker 1: And that was me trying to explore my own.

166
00:07:02,753 --> 00:07:05,273
Speaker 4: Personal style as well, a little bit like me. Girls

167
00:07:05,274 --> 00:07:08,193
Speaker 4: on Wednesday, we were pick but it's more about the piece.

168
00:07:08,234 --> 00:07:10,994
Speaker 4: So for example, Monday, it was a trouser or pant.

169
00:07:11,714 --> 00:07:17,114
Speaker 4: Tuesday meaty skirt Wednesday, oversized blazer Thursday, addressed because we'd

170
00:07:17,154 --> 00:07:19,634
Speaker 4: usually go out for after work drinks on Thursday and

171
00:07:19,674 --> 00:07:21,394
Speaker 4: Friday could be a bit more of a wild card

172
00:07:21,434 --> 00:07:26,353
Speaker 4: because it's casual. So having those pieces dedicated to a day.

173
00:07:26,514 --> 00:07:28,234
Speaker 4: I know it sounds like a little bit of thinking,

174
00:07:28,274 --> 00:07:30,234
Speaker 4: but it's not really. It still works with how your

175
00:07:30,314 --> 00:07:31,393
Speaker 4: washing cycle goes.

176
00:07:31,554 --> 00:07:35,074
Speaker 2: I also think the pre planning actually takes away having

177
00:07:35,074 --> 00:07:36,674
Speaker 2: to think about it in the moment, which is a

178
00:07:36,714 --> 00:07:38,473
Speaker 2: lot of the stress of getting ready is getting up

179
00:07:38,474 --> 00:07:40,114
Speaker 2: and being like what am I going to do? But

180
00:07:40,194 --> 00:07:42,914
Speaker 2: I think having like you said, like a day allocated

181
00:07:42,953 --> 00:07:44,834
Speaker 2: to an item or something that didn't want to.

182
00:07:44,754 --> 00:07:46,234
Speaker 4: Way, it's a bit of stress out of like, you know,

183
00:07:46,274 --> 00:07:47,954
Speaker 4: you're wearing a trouser a Monday, Okay, how am I

184
00:07:47,994 --> 00:07:50,834
Speaker 4: going to style that? So it's okay wearing those same

185
00:07:50,874 --> 00:07:54,634
Speaker 4: pieces consistently, it's just restyling them each day. What I

186
00:07:54,674 --> 00:07:57,393
Speaker 4: also liked is I would stick to that depending on

187
00:07:57,434 --> 00:07:59,874
Speaker 4: the weather. So just say I had an oversized blazer

188
00:07:59,874 --> 00:08:02,994
Speaker 4: Wednesday and it was actually a really hot day, I think, okay,

189
00:08:02,994 --> 00:08:04,434
Speaker 4: I kind of want to stick to this, but i'd

190
00:08:04,474 --> 00:08:06,314
Speaker 4: wear it was short, so I like a little a

191
00:08:06,393 --> 00:08:08,874
Speaker 4: sand little r than just opting for something that i'd

192
00:08:08,914 --> 00:08:09,314
Speaker 4: usually do.

193
00:08:09,594 --> 00:08:11,714
Speaker 2: You get people creative as well, Yeah, get used out

194
00:08:11,714 --> 00:08:12,833
Speaker 2: of your pieces a lot.

195
00:08:12,594 --> 00:08:14,674
Speaker 1: But did you have anything you're doing corporate or here

196
00:08:14,674 --> 00:08:15,713
Speaker 1: at MoMA via, Yes.

197
00:08:15,834 --> 00:08:17,874
Speaker 2: So something I've been trying to do is the three

198
00:08:17,914 --> 00:08:20,033
Speaker 2: three three method, which is kind of this thing that

199
00:08:20,114 --> 00:08:22,994
Speaker 2: was going around on TikTok, essentially taking items in your

200
00:08:22,994 --> 00:08:27,674
Speaker 2: wardrobe three tops, three bottoms, three pairs of shoes, and

201
00:08:27,754 --> 00:08:29,874
Speaker 2: so I would take, for instance, in this case, what

202
00:08:29,914 --> 00:08:32,594
Speaker 2: you would usually wear to work, whatever items those are,

203
00:08:32,674 --> 00:08:35,914
Speaker 2: and then trying to make as many possible combinations, so

204
00:08:35,914 --> 00:08:37,874
Speaker 2: you're really mixing up maybe I'm used to wearing this

205
00:08:37,953 --> 00:08:39,914
Speaker 2: top with this particular pair of pants, but then now

206
00:08:39,954 --> 00:08:42,034
Speaker 2: I'm like swapping out what bottoms I'm wearing, maybe I'm

207
00:08:42,074 --> 00:08:44,114
Speaker 2: switching up the shoes. So you're really making the most

208
00:08:44,114 --> 00:08:46,514
Speaker 2: of what you already own and wear, but trying to

209
00:08:46,554 --> 00:08:48,794
Speaker 2: find like a new still aware or a new style

210
00:08:48,794 --> 00:08:50,474
Speaker 2: that you haven't really explored. And I think that's a

211
00:08:50,474 --> 00:08:53,274
Speaker 2: great way to not have to invest in new pieces, sure,

212
00:08:53,314 --> 00:08:54,714
Speaker 2: but get the most out of your work.

213
00:08:54,834 --> 00:08:56,994
Speaker 1: And I'm sure you probably now if you're investing in

214
00:08:57,034 --> 00:08:59,154
Speaker 1: a piece. Would you think of that? Three three three?

215
00:08:59,354 --> 00:09:01,994
Speaker 2: Yes, exactly. I usually kind of think about, Okay, what

216
00:09:02,034 --> 00:09:04,034
Speaker 2: are the pieces I already wear to work, and how

217
00:09:04,034 --> 00:09:05,434
Speaker 2: can I really add to that?

218
00:09:05,434 --> 00:09:07,714
Speaker 1: That's cool. I haven't heard of that. That's really good.

219
00:09:07,754 --> 00:09:09,794
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it was kind of circling around. It's kind

220
00:09:09,794 --> 00:09:12,754
Speaker 2: of a like a mini capsule wardrobe the ways I

221
00:09:12,754 --> 00:09:13,514
Speaker 2: would say, And.

222
00:09:13,474 --> 00:09:14,874
Speaker 1: That allows you to be creative as well.

223
00:09:14,914 --> 00:09:15,954
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.

224
00:09:16,434 --> 00:09:18,794
Speaker 1: I want to know about your footwear shells.

225
00:09:18,834 --> 00:09:21,634
Speaker 4: That's something I always get stumped on because I go

226
00:09:21,794 --> 00:09:23,874
Speaker 4: for sort of a sandal a lot of the time.

227
00:09:23,914 --> 00:09:26,914
Speaker 4: But I know, like people in corporate can't just do that, right,

228
00:09:26,994 --> 00:09:29,514
Speaker 4: So do you have any recommendations on footwear?

229
00:09:29,754 --> 00:09:29,954
Speaker 1: Yes?

230
00:09:30,074 --> 00:09:32,474
Speaker 2: So when I was working corporate, initially it was all

231
00:09:32,474 --> 00:09:36,274
Speaker 2: about the heels, but then the commute it's rough, and

232
00:09:36,354 --> 00:09:41,034
Speaker 2: I generally personally don't like to wear into the wardrobe

233
00:09:41,034 --> 00:09:42,434
Speaker 2: and then put my shoes on in the office. I

234
00:09:42,514 --> 00:09:43,834
Speaker 2: kind of like to just go in with the shoes.

235
00:09:44,234 --> 00:09:47,034
Speaker 2: Lots of people do, yeah, and there's nothing wrong with that.

236
00:09:47,114 --> 00:09:49,394
Speaker 2: I just personally like to not have to carry the

237
00:09:49,394 --> 00:09:52,074
Speaker 2: shoes with me and bring them around me. So I'm

238
00:09:52,114 --> 00:09:54,794
Speaker 2: always opting for a flat. So if you're someone who

239
00:09:54,954 --> 00:09:59,354
Speaker 2: values comfort ballet flats, I love that they're back in fashion.

240
00:09:59,354 --> 00:10:00,674
Speaker 2: I know for a period of time they were kind

241
00:10:00,674 --> 00:10:03,674
Speaker 2: of out. Yeah, very I don't know. People say they're all.

242
00:10:03,594 --> 00:10:05,234
Speaker 1: Fed, do you say they're all comfortable?

243
00:10:05,514 --> 00:10:07,674
Speaker 2: Not every ballet flat is made the same.

244
00:10:08,674 --> 00:10:09,233
Speaker 1: Yeah.

245
00:10:09,474 --> 00:10:12,474
Speaker 2: I love Charles and Keith. It's a great They do

246
00:10:12,554 --> 00:10:15,074
Speaker 2: bags as well, but they're really known for their shoes,

247
00:10:15,154 --> 00:10:18,234
Speaker 2: really affordable and really really comfortable. So I have a

248
00:10:18,234 --> 00:10:20,434
Speaker 2: pair of Child and Keith ballet flats with studs of

249
00:10:20,474 --> 00:10:21,874
Speaker 2: them that I wear all the time. These loafers that

250
00:10:21,874 --> 00:10:24,914
Speaker 2: I'm wearing as well. Also Charles and Keith cool, So

251
00:10:24,914 --> 00:10:28,354
Speaker 2: I'd recommend. Yeah, a ballet flat or a loafer when

252
00:10:28,394 --> 00:10:30,314
Speaker 2: styled the right way, I think it can look really

253
00:10:30,354 --> 00:10:33,154
Speaker 2: really cool but still professional, which I think is important.

254
00:10:33,314 --> 00:10:36,714
Speaker 4: And did you find any cool pump or heel that

255
00:10:36,794 --> 00:10:37,634
Speaker 4: what was comfortable?

256
00:10:38,074 --> 00:10:38,314
Speaker 1: Yeah?

257
00:10:38,354 --> 00:10:43,154
Speaker 2: I find a closed toe with a sling back for

258
00:10:43,234 --> 00:10:45,314
Speaker 2: me and not too high. I'm always like opting for

259
00:10:45,354 --> 00:10:49,114
Speaker 2: a kittenhill. Yeah, nothing higher than like this, just because Yeah,

260
00:10:49,194 --> 00:10:51,274
Speaker 2: easy to walk around and I find sometimes with sandals

261
00:10:51,274 --> 00:10:55,434
Speaker 2: my foot slips back and forth if I'm walking around

262
00:10:55,434 --> 00:10:57,474
Speaker 2: a lot, especially if it's a heel. So I generally

263
00:10:57,474 --> 00:10:59,714
Speaker 2: like to opt for something that's closed toe and it's kind.

264
00:10:59,554 --> 00:11:01,514
Speaker 4: Of like secure in there and a kidden hill that's

265
00:11:01,514 --> 00:11:03,394
Speaker 4: going to me post traumatic stress. I used to work

266
00:11:03,394 --> 00:11:07,274
Speaker 4: at Cookeye and have to wear like huge platform pumps

267
00:11:07,474 --> 00:11:09,714
Speaker 4: and just all day on that concrete floor.

268
00:11:10,074 --> 00:11:12,394
Speaker 2: It's also surprising. Do you remember back in the day

269
00:11:12,394 --> 00:11:15,674
Speaker 2: we would all go like clubbing into bars and platform

270
00:11:15,754 --> 00:11:18,234
Speaker 2: hills that were like this high. I don't know how

271
00:11:18,274 --> 00:11:19,994
Speaker 2: we managed it. But now it's all about comfort.

272
00:11:19,994 --> 00:11:22,354
Speaker 1: I feel like, isn't that nice? Actually? And you see

273
00:11:22,394 --> 00:11:24,674
Speaker 1: the young germ z going out and like sneakers and stuff.

274
00:11:24,714 --> 00:11:26,594
Speaker 1: I actually love that. Yeah, I wish that was us.

275
00:11:26,674 --> 00:11:28,474
Speaker 2: What about you? What are the kind of shoes that

276
00:11:28,474 --> 00:11:29,354
Speaker 2: you would you know?

277
00:11:29,754 --> 00:11:33,154
Speaker 4: I found this brand from Nothing to Wear listener actually,

278
00:11:33,274 --> 00:11:37,034
Speaker 4: who commented on one of our Instagram posts, because who was?

279
00:11:37,074 --> 00:11:39,154
Speaker 4: I think Tim and I were talking about comfy shoes

280
00:11:39,194 --> 00:11:41,194
Speaker 4: that you can walk ten K's in right or to

281
00:11:41,274 --> 00:11:46,354
Speaker 4: not get ten K's ten thousand steps, and she mentioned

282
00:11:46,434 --> 00:11:48,714
Speaker 4: Bad Shoes, which is an Aussie label.

283
00:11:49,474 --> 00:11:50,314
Speaker 1: Have you heard of them before?

284
00:11:50,314 --> 00:11:50,554
Speaker 4: I have.

285
00:11:50,794 --> 00:11:53,674
Speaker 2: I think I went to an event where there were

286
00:11:53,754 --> 00:11:56,634
Speaker 2: really stylish, fashionable shoes, and she told me they were

287
00:11:56,674 --> 00:11:57,834
Speaker 2: the most comfortable pair.

288
00:11:57,714 --> 00:12:00,794
Speaker 4: Of shoes that she and the founder was a podiatres

289
00:12:00,994 --> 00:12:04,914
Speaker 4: turned entrepreneurs, so they have that sort of knowledge, I suppose,

290
00:12:05,154 --> 00:12:08,274
Speaker 4: and their diverse range as well. Everything from sandals, so

291
00:12:08,314 --> 00:12:11,034
Speaker 4: I saw a really nice fishermen sandal, but obviously not

292
00:12:11,074 --> 00:12:11,874
Speaker 4: everyone can wear that.

293
00:12:11,954 --> 00:12:14,034
Speaker 1: But they had heels and pumps and whatnot as well.

294
00:12:14,274 --> 00:12:17,514
Speaker 4: But this bare shoes, it's a Aussie label, which I love.

295
00:12:17,594 --> 00:12:20,794
Speaker 4: So that's definitely one I'd recommend for any listeners out there, Yeah,

296
00:12:21,114 --> 00:12:22,794
Speaker 4: who are looking for shoes this year.

297
00:12:22,874 --> 00:12:25,394
Speaker 2: From shoes to work bags. The work bag is a

298
00:12:25,394 --> 00:12:27,514
Speaker 2: tricky one because there are just so many bits and

299
00:12:27,514 --> 00:12:29,874
Speaker 2: bobs you need to carry to and from the office,

300
00:12:29,994 --> 00:12:35,634
Speaker 2: a laptop, water bottle, makeup, all the rural extra bits too.

301
00:12:36,234 --> 00:12:37,674
Speaker 1: Just to sign note, look at the bag that I've

302
00:12:37,674 --> 00:12:38,434
Speaker 1: watch today, it's like.

303
00:12:38,394 --> 00:12:39,314
Speaker 2: A ford over the.

304
00:12:40,874 --> 00:12:41,354
Speaker 1: Listeners.

305
00:12:41,594 --> 00:12:43,434
Speaker 2: This like massive what do you call that? Like a

306
00:12:43,434 --> 00:12:46,234
Speaker 2: big dufble bag all stuff.

307
00:12:46,874 --> 00:12:48,514
Speaker 4: But yeah, you're in a rush in the morning, aren't

308
00:12:48,514 --> 00:12:50,274
Speaker 4: you just trying to throw everything in that you need.

309
00:12:50,474 --> 00:12:52,354
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's so many things you need to bring. What

310
00:12:52,634 --> 00:12:55,634
Speaker 2: brands or styles would you sort of recommend for a

311
00:12:55,674 --> 00:12:58,074
Speaker 2: work bag for all your things that fits everything.

312
00:12:58,554 --> 00:13:02,234
Speaker 1: I love that oversized bags are back in me too,

313
00:13:02,434 --> 00:13:04,674
Speaker 1: did you like do you have many of those micro bags?

314
00:13:04,954 --> 00:13:07,954
Speaker 2: I so, look, I love a micro I love a

315
00:13:08,074 --> 00:13:12,714
Speaker 2: useless little purse that holds nothing but like a lipstick.

316
00:13:12,834 --> 00:13:15,474
Speaker 1: Yeah, it doesn't even fit your phone, doesn't to my phone.

317
00:13:15,514 --> 00:13:17,394
Speaker 2: I have a few of those. I love it. But

318
00:13:17,594 --> 00:13:20,434
Speaker 2: there's something I love more than a massive bag that

319
00:13:20,514 --> 00:13:23,234
Speaker 2: I can throw everything in. Now that they're back in

320
00:13:23,314 --> 00:13:26,114
Speaker 2: style as well, there are just so many more options

321
00:13:26,154 --> 00:13:26,634
Speaker 2: I love.

322
00:13:26,914 --> 00:13:29,834
Speaker 1: Yeah, your makeup bag, your laptop, your water bottle, which

323
00:13:29,874 --> 00:13:32,434
Speaker 1: is now like what the big Stanley two leaders have ever.

324
00:13:32,514 --> 00:13:35,834
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, yeah, So I'm enjoying that oversize is back

325
00:13:35,874 --> 00:13:38,194
Speaker 4: because I would have like my going out bag in

326
00:13:38,234 --> 00:13:40,794
Speaker 4: the office like crammed onto me my desk and then.

327
00:13:40,674 --> 00:13:41,674
Speaker 1: My big oversized bag.

328
00:13:42,154 --> 00:13:44,953
Speaker 4: I love the brand July, who are sort of it's

329
00:13:44,954 --> 00:13:47,474
Speaker 4: an Australian brand, I believe, but they're no one more

330
00:13:47,474 --> 00:13:50,754
Speaker 4: for their suitcases and luggage. They do some really great

331
00:13:50,794 --> 00:13:53,674
Speaker 4: carry ons and they've got one called the July Juliet.

332
00:13:54,074 --> 00:13:56,034
Speaker 4: I don't know if you've seen this one, Chelse, but

333
00:13:56,074 --> 00:13:58,394
Speaker 4: it's sort of everywhere at the moment, and I think

334
00:13:58,434 --> 00:14:01,154
Speaker 4: it's for a good reason, Like it's this really beautiful,

335
00:14:01,674 --> 00:14:04,954
Speaker 4: stylish fashion like it's more of a fashion bag rather

336
00:14:04,994 --> 00:14:09,074
Speaker 4: than just luggage and a functional bag. It's made out

337
00:14:09,074 --> 00:14:12,154
Speaker 4: of a leather or a sustainable leather material, which is good.

338
00:14:12,794 --> 00:14:16,114
Speaker 4: It's got the removable drink bottle holder, It's got the

339
00:14:16,194 --> 00:14:19,954
Speaker 4: sleeve for your laptop. It's also got that pass through band,

340
00:14:19,994 --> 00:14:21,914
Speaker 4: so if you travel a lot with work, you put

341
00:14:21,914 --> 00:14:23,834
Speaker 4: it on your any sort of suitcase. I'm sure it's

342
00:14:23,834 --> 00:14:26,514
Speaker 4: sort of suited more more compatible with a July suitcase.

343
00:14:26,634 --> 00:14:29,034
Speaker 4: But it comes into three different sizes, so depending on

344
00:14:29,074 --> 00:14:31,314
Speaker 4: how big you actually need. So if you've got all

345
00:14:31,354 --> 00:14:33,074
Speaker 4: your gym where if you go to the gym afterwards,

346
00:14:33,154 --> 00:14:35,114
Speaker 4: or a change of clothes, they've got the work size

347
00:14:35,154 --> 00:14:37,954
Speaker 4: which is eighteen liter, the large tote which is twenty

348
00:14:37,954 --> 00:14:40,314
Speaker 4: two or the spacious tote which is twenty six.

349
00:14:40,194 --> 00:14:41,354
Speaker 2: Leaders so on you'd be getting.

350
00:14:43,434 --> 00:14:46,314
Speaker 4: So yeah, I really like July And I actually didn't

351
00:14:46,354 --> 00:14:48,114
Speaker 4: know they did this sort of bag until I had

352
00:14:48,114 --> 00:14:49,154
Speaker 4: a little look online and it.

353
00:14:49,154 --> 00:14:52,514
Speaker 2: Sounds like a functional bathroom through like very thoughtfully designed.

354
00:14:52,914 --> 00:14:54,714
Speaker 2: Four people going to work who have a lot of things.

355
00:14:54,754 --> 00:14:58,154
Speaker 2: There's the drink bottle holder all that, so I think, yeah,

356
00:14:58,154 --> 00:14:59,314
Speaker 2: that's a perfect kind of word bag.

357
00:14:59,434 --> 00:14:59,994
Speaker 1: Yeah.

358
00:15:00,034 --> 00:15:02,074
Speaker 4: And the price isn't too bad either, three hundred and

359
00:15:02,114 --> 00:15:04,674
Speaker 4: twenty five dollars And I think because it's that sustainable

360
00:15:05,554 --> 00:15:07,754
Speaker 4: leather like material, not actually the lever.

361
00:15:08,274 --> 00:15:11,154
Speaker 1: But awesome right like that, it makes it affordable for everyone.

362
00:15:10,994 --> 00:15:13,034
Speaker 2: Especially a work bag that you're gonna wear every day.

363
00:15:14,234 --> 00:15:16,394
Speaker 4: Yeah, what about you, ChEls is already bag that you

364
00:15:16,434 --> 00:15:18,554
Speaker 4: currently own that you suggest or have you got any

365
00:15:18,594 --> 00:15:19,354
Speaker 4: that you put your eye on?

366
00:15:19,554 --> 00:15:23,074
Speaker 2: Yeah, So I only have one work bag at a time. Really,

367
00:15:23,154 --> 00:15:24,674
Speaker 2: I'm not the kind of person that swaps it out

368
00:15:24,674 --> 00:15:26,634
Speaker 2: because I just hate the process of like taking my

369
00:15:26,674 --> 00:15:29,354
Speaker 2: makeup bag out and all the little bits that are inside.

370
00:15:29,394 --> 00:15:31,234
Speaker 2: So I kind of just stick. Yeah, so I just

371
00:15:31,274 --> 00:15:34,994
Speaker 2: stick to one. But my favorite brand is Bagou. They

372
00:15:35,074 --> 00:15:38,594
Speaker 2: have so many styles. They come in like larger toads.

373
00:15:38,634 --> 00:15:40,714
Speaker 2: I've got the shoulder bag and that also comes in

374
00:15:40,754 --> 00:15:42,834
Speaker 2: different sizes depending on what you want to carry. And

375
00:15:42,874 --> 00:15:44,234
Speaker 2: what I love is that there are so many like

376
00:15:44,274 --> 00:15:47,114
Speaker 2: colors and materials and designs. My one's a leopard print.

377
00:15:47,154 --> 00:15:52,714
Speaker 2: It's the nylon shoulder bags. Absolute favorite. Yeah, fredically and

378
00:15:52,914 --> 00:15:56,674
Speaker 2: it's fifty four USD and that's around like eighty Australian dolls.

379
00:15:57,034 --> 00:16:01,074
Speaker 2: Really really really practical. But the thing if it's my laptop,

380
00:16:01,194 --> 00:16:03,634
Speaker 2: which is important. But the thing that I love most

381
00:16:03,674 --> 00:16:06,594
Speaker 2: about this bag is that it is machine washing. It is.

382
00:16:07,114 --> 00:16:07,794
Speaker 1: That's a good point.

383
00:16:07,914 --> 00:16:11,194
Speaker 2: It's such a game changer, and especially if I okay,

384
00:16:11,314 --> 00:16:14,514
Speaker 2: I mean full disclosure, I'm a messy gal. I throw

385
00:16:14,554 --> 00:16:17,194
Speaker 2: things in my bag all the time. Sometimes the cap

386
00:16:17,274 --> 00:16:19,954
Speaker 2: of your lipstick will come off, sometimes your eyelinder will

387
00:16:19,954 --> 00:16:22,394
Speaker 2: get dirty inside, and I love that I can just

388
00:16:22,434 --> 00:16:24,634
Speaker 2: take everything out and the throat in the wash and

389
00:16:24,634 --> 00:16:25,514
Speaker 2: then it's so good.

390
00:16:25,594 --> 00:16:26,194
Speaker 1: I love that.

391
00:16:26,594 --> 00:16:27,914
Speaker 2: So that is a real game changer, you know.

392
00:16:27,954 --> 00:16:29,794
Speaker 4: Actual I'm gonna throw another bag in the mix. Have

393
00:16:29,834 --> 00:16:31,194
Speaker 4: you heard of the brand in the label?

394
00:16:31,394 --> 00:16:31,594
Speaker 3: Yes?

395
00:16:32,554 --> 00:16:34,914
Speaker 1: Last time. But it's like made out of this rubber

396
00:16:35,874 --> 00:16:39,114
Speaker 1: dare I say plastic? Whatever the material it is.

397
00:16:39,114 --> 00:16:41,074
Speaker 4: But if you throw any sort of water or it's

398
00:16:41,114 --> 00:16:43,434
Speaker 4: water resistant, but you can just wipe it down, which

399
00:16:43,474 --> 00:16:44,034
Speaker 4: is perfect.

400
00:16:44,074 --> 00:16:45,834
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think that's a key in work bags as well,

401
00:16:45,834 --> 00:16:47,474
Speaker 2: Like a practical bad that you're taking around all the

402
00:16:47,474 --> 00:16:49,874
Speaker 2: time that's got so many things in it, accidents, happen,

403
00:16:49,914 --> 00:16:51,954
Speaker 2: you know, skill things, you'll get things on it. So

404
00:16:51,994 --> 00:16:55,234
Speaker 2: I think that like finding the right material on a

405
00:16:55,234 --> 00:16:56,474
Speaker 2: workbag is actually very important.

406
00:16:56,514 --> 00:16:57,034
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love that.

407
00:17:06,394 --> 00:17:09,674
Speaker 4: So I guess we've just had Christmas sort of big

408
00:17:09,714 --> 00:17:12,073
Speaker 4: like shopping all the sales and stuff. Do you have

409
00:17:12,194 --> 00:17:15,714
Speaker 4: any tips tell us on how to revamp your work

410
00:17:15,834 --> 00:17:18,874
Speaker 4: wardrobe without completely starting from scratch.

411
00:17:20,154 --> 00:17:24,874
Speaker 2: So I would say accessories very very easy and like

412
00:17:24,914 --> 00:17:27,714
Speaker 2: a low barrier to entry way to kind of spice

413
00:17:27,714 --> 00:17:29,674
Speaker 2: things up. What happens, like break the bank and buy

414
00:17:29,754 --> 00:17:33,314
Speaker 2: like a whole new wardrobe, whether that's styling new jewelry

415
00:17:33,594 --> 00:17:35,634
Speaker 2: or like finding shoes that are a little bit more

416
00:17:35,674 --> 00:17:37,794
Speaker 2: fun to kind of spice off the applet. But another

417
00:17:37,834 --> 00:17:41,834
Speaker 2: great tip I think is layering differently, So kind of

418
00:17:41,874 --> 00:17:43,874
Speaker 2: taking a look at the items that you already have

419
00:17:43,994 --> 00:17:46,234
Speaker 2: and maybe if there's a shirt that you always pair

420
00:17:46,474 --> 00:17:49,313
Speaker 2: with a blazer, thinking like okay, maybe I'll style it

421
00:17:49,314 --> 00:17:52,353
Speaker 2: with a cardigan or you know, a sweater vest, and

422
00:17:52,474 --> 00:17:53,954
Speaker 2: kind of mixing it up that way and trying to

423
00:17:53,954 --> 00:17:55,833
Speaker 2: style different fabrics in your wardrobe.

424
00:17:56,034 --> 00:17:57,234
Speaker 1: It's a little bit more adventurous.

425
00:17:57,314 --> 00:18:00,194
Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, yeah, I like that idea, and that encourages

426
00:18:00,234 --> 00:18:03,314
Speaker 4: people to like find their own personal style.

427
00:18:03,634 --> 00:18:05,674
Speaker 2: Yeah exactly. I think like being creative of what you

428
00:18:05,714 --> 00:18:07,994
Speaker 2: already own the best way to kind of get the

429
00:18:07,994 --> 00:18:08,914
Speaker 2: most out of your wardrobe.

430
00:18:08,994 --> 00:18:09,994
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, I like that.

431
00:18:10,034 --> 00:18:12,513
Speaker 4: What about you, I'd say the same, Like even just

432
00:18:12,594 --> 00:18:15,754
Speaker 4: us talking about bags, So he's opting for a new bag,

433
00:18:15,834 --> 00:18:18,634
Speaker 4: like those bagoo that you mentioned that's so affordable, right

434
00:18:18,674 --> 00:18:20,834
Speaker 4: eighty dollars, So maybe it is just a new bag,

435
00:18:21,034 --> 00:18:22,954
Speaker 4: something that you're going to wear every day to the

436
00:18:22,994 --> 00:18:25,513
Speaker 4: office and it not just be like a new blouse

437
00:18:25,554 --> 00:18:28,234
Speaker 4: that you only really get to put on rotation weekly

438
00:18:28,314 --> 00:18:30,714
Speaker 4: or whatnot. I also think it's a time to play

439
00:18:30,714 --> 00:18:33,434
Speaker 4: around some of those micro trends, Like you know, the

440
00:18:33,554 --> 00:18:36,834
Speaker 4: scarf is like a big bandanna scarf or belt scaff

441
00:18:37,154 --> 00:18:38,674
Speaker 4: whether it be like acting as a bit of a

442
00:18:38,674 --> 00:18:42,474
Speaker 4: twilly around your bag. Maybe it's like a next scarf,

443
00:18:42,674 --> 00:18:44,034
Speaker 4: or it is like wrapped.

444
00:18:43,714 --> 00:18:47,034
Speaker 1: As a belt. So maybe it's like exploring micro trends.

445
00:18:47,194 --> 00:18:49,553
Speaker 4: So yeah, I trendlight the scarf where you can get

446
00:18:49,594 --> 00:18:52,794
Speaker 4: it from eight dollars from Big w It can completely

447
00:18:52,914 --> 00:18:56,793
Speaker 4: change your outfit or an existing outfit in multiple different

448
00:18:56,794 --> 00:19:00,114
Speaker 4: ways as well, sort of belt next scaf bag rather

449
00:19:00,154 --> 00:19:01,553
Speaker 4: than buying like one item.

450
00:19:01,754 --> 00:19:01,954
Speaker 1: Yep.

451
00:19:03,074 --> 00:19:06,354
Speaker 2: I think it's a great tip, especially for corporate environments,

452
00:19:06,394 --> 00:19:09,794
Speaker 2: because sometimes it's not realistic to buy like a really

453
00:19:09,874 --> 00:19:13,313
Speaker 2: loud blazer or something really really exciting. So maybe it

454
00:19:13,434 --> 00:19:15,594
Speaker 2: is like that pop of color in a little stuff

455
00:19:15,754 --> 00:19:17,554
Speaker 2: or something you can put on your bag. So, yeah,

456
00:19:17,594 --> 00:19:18,074
Speaker 2: do you know what I.

457
00:19:18,154 --> 00:19:18,714
Speaker 1: Used to do as well?

458
00:19:18,754 --> 00:19:24,074
Speaker 4: I forgot I'd buy I wear prescription glasses, and i'd

459
00:19:24,074 --> 00:19:27,074
Speaker 4: buy like, you know, Specsavors or PSM are always like

460
00:19:27,514 --> 00:19:29,634
Speaker 4: we have two for one or whatever, which allows you

461
00:19:29,714 --> 00:19:31,313
Speaker 4: to sort of stock off on a couple, so I'd

462
00:19:31,354 --> 00:19:33,394
Speaker 4: maybe have like three or four on the go and

463
00:19:33,434 --> 00:19:36,793
Speaker 4: get quite different styles. It's a great one, right, and

464
00:19:36,794 --> 00:19:39,114
Speaker 4: that can completely change the outfit that you're wearing.

465
00:19:39,234 --> 00:19:42,034
Speaker 2: Yeah, Okay, I'm going to confess something. Yeah, don't judge

466
00:19:42,114 --> 00:19:45,954
Speaker 2: me or do but I don't wear prescription glasses. Yeah,

467
00:19:46,074 --> 00:19:49,513
Speaker 2: but I love to get fun frames and I just

468
00:19:49,554 --> 00:19:51,834
Speaker 2: wear them as like a fun like accessory. Like it's

469
00:19:51,874 --> 00:19:53,914
Speaker 2: kind of like earrings or like a necklace. You know,

470
00:19:53,954 --> 00:19:56,114
Speaker 2: it's a fun way to spice some an outfit. And

471
00:19:56,394 --> 00:19:58,394
Speaker 2: I see it as like an accessory.

472
00:19:57,954 --> 00:20:01,474
Speaker 1: Like and no one would ever know it is an accessory.

473
00:20:01,594 --> 00:20:03,554
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, I love that, and it shows how much

474
00:20:03,594 --> 00:20:06,954
Speaker 4: it plays into fashion right, Like it really can complete an.

475
00:20:06,834 --> 00:20:09,394
Speaker 2: Outfit, agreed, And different frames really add like such a

476
00:20:09,394 --> 00:20:11,394
Speaker 2: different effect, Like you can do like thicker frames.

477
00:20:11,554 --> 00:20:11,994
Speaker 1: I've a pair.

478
00:20:12,034 --> 00:20:15,114
Speaker 2: They've got like embellishments on it. It's a really unique way,

479
00:20:15,794 --> 00:20:16,554
Speaker 2: a little bit more fun.

480
00:20:16,634 --> 00:20:17,474
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love that.

481
00:20:18,714 --> 00:20:22,834
Speaker 2: So anyone who's worked in an office knows that temperatures

482
00:20:22,874 --> 00:20:27,914
Speaker 2: really can range during the day. So what are the

483
00:20:27,954 --> 00:20:31,394
Speaker 2: foolproof like layering pieces that you need if you're commuting

484
00:20:31,434 --> 00:20:33,154
Speaker 2: to an office and you're gonna be sitting in air

485
00:20:33,194 --> 00:20:33,954
Speaker 2: con all day?

486
00:20:34,194 --> 00:20:37,034
Speaker 4: Do you know what I always do is I carry

487
00:20:37,074 --> 00:20:41,553
Speaker 4: around a really lightweight cardigan, lightweight knit cardigan. It's so

488
00:20:41,754 --> 00:20:44,234
Speaker 4: lightweight that it can roll up into my bag, especially

489
00:20:44,274 --> 00:20:46,474
Speaker 4: if it is an oversized bag, so it's tucked away.

490
00:20:47,154 --> 00:20:49,874
Speaker 4: If the weather changes, whether it be colder, I can

491
00:20:49,914 --> 00:20:52,674
Speaker 4: put that on, and it's so light that I can.

492
00:20:52,634 --> 00:20:53,394
Speaker 1: Layer it as well.

493
00:20:53,434 --> 00:20:55,154
Speaker 4: So we've got like a T shirt on with an

494
00:20:55,234 --> 00:20:58,194
Speaker 4: oversized blaser. I could put that cardigan on underneath the

495
00:20:58,234 --> 00:20:59,394
Speaker 4: blaser and then.

496
00:20:59,314 --> 00:21:00,834
Speaker 1: It's easy to take off as well.

497
00:21:00,914 --> 00:21:03,234
Speaker 4: I just find it's just nice having that extra thin

498
00:21:03,354 --> 00:21:06,314
Speaker 4: layer that's really easy to carry around just in case

499
00:21:06,354 --> 00:21:09,074
Speaker 4: that weather changes, and I find most people have like

500
00:21:09,114 --> 00:21:11,634
Speaker 4: a cardigan in their wardrobe, or you can get a

501
00:21:11,714 --> 00:21:14,114
Speaker 4: really affordable one, like there's one at Uniclode. They do

502
00:21:14,154 --> 00:21:16,553
Speaker 4: a really great one for thirty nine dollars. Get it

503
00:21:16,594 --> 00:21:18,634
Speaker 4: in a neutral color. It's just sort of easy to

504
00:21:18,714 --> 00:21:19,394
Speaker 4: keep in your bag.

505
00:21:19,554 --> 00:21:22,033
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think a cardigan is like a key piece

506
00:21:22,234 --> 00:21:23,834
Speaker 2: in everyone's wager. I think I mentioned this in a

507
00:21:23,874 --> 00:21:28,553
Speaker 2: previous episode. But even when it's summer, it's hard to

508
00:21:28,874 --> 00:21:31,674
Speaker 2: find outwear that works during the summertime that you can

509
00:21:31,714 --> 00:21:34,234
Speaker 2: easily carry around that you're not just holding the entire day.

510
00:21:34,434 --> 00:21:36,434
Speaker 2: A cardigan is an easy one to roll up and

511
00:21:36,594 --> 00:21:39,114
Speaker 2: throw on and not have it be too heavy. I'm

512
00:21:39,154 --> 00:21:43,234
Speaker 2: the same love a cardigan. I've also found a like

513
00:21:43,234 --> 00:21:46,513
Speaker 2: a sweater vest can be really good as well, depending

514
00:21:46,514 --> 00:21:49,313
Speaker 2: on what outfit you're wearing. But if you find it

515
00:21:49,314 --> 00:21:50,954
Speaker 2: gets a little bit cold in the office, it's a

516
00:21:51,034 --> 00:21:52,514
Speaker 2: nice one to throw on where your arms are still

517
00:21:52,554 --> 00:21:56,634
Speaker 2: kind of exposed. Too hot, but I can attest to

518
00:21:56,794 --> 00:21:58,994
Speaker 2: like freezing cold temperatures here in the mom of Me

519
00:21:59,074 --> 00:22:01,594
Speaker 2: offic it gets so cold, doesn't matter if it's like

520
00:22:01,594 --> 00:22:05,074
Speaker 2: thirty five degrees outside. It's always from So my biggest

521
00:22:05,114 --> 00:22:09,553
Speaker 2: tip from experience is to wear toed shoes. Yeah, just

522
00:22:09,634 --> 00:22:12,834
Speaker 2: because if your feet are cold, doesn't matter how many

523
00:22:12,914 --> 00:22:15,354
Speaker 2: layers I'm wearing, I'm going to be cold. So I

524
00:22:15,394 --> 00:22:17,514
Speaker 2: typically try to opt for, yeah, like a clothes tail,

525
00:22:17,514 --> 00:22:19,394
Speaker 2: like a loafer, if you like a ballet, flat something

526
00:22:19,434 --> 00:22:21,274
Speaker 2: where like my toes are warm.

527
00:22:21,234 --> 00:22:24,514
Speaker 1: Or even just like leaving a blanket at the office.

528
00:22:25,874 --> 00:22:26,874
Speaker 1: I have a poula.

529
00:22:26,954 --> 00:22:29,033
Speaker 2: I have a blanket on where like I'll throw it

530
00:22:29,074 --> 00:22:31,994
Speaker 2: over my legs like a skirt or something that's a yahi.

531
00:22:33,194 --> 00:22:36,394
Speaker 2: So the commute during the summer, it can be so hard,

532
00:22:36,514 --> 00:22:39,354
Speaker 2: especially if you're wearing nice corporate wear like a tailored

533
00:22:39,394 --> 00:22:43,634
Speaker 2: pant linen that can crease easily. It's tough when it's

534
00:22:43,674 --> 00:22:46,513
Speaker 2: hot out. So what are your tips to like keeping

535
00:22:46,554 --> 00:22:49,114
Speaker 2: your clothes looking as fresh as possible when you arrive

536
00:22:49,194 --> 00:22:49,914
Speaker 2: at the office.

537
00:22:50,154 --> 00:22:53,194
Speaker 4: I even remember once actually sitting in a uber on

538
00:22:53,234 --> 00:22:54,634
Speaker 4: the way to a meeting, and I was wearing like

539
00:22:54,634 --> 00:22:56,474
Speaker 4: a silk midi, and you'd even think of that sort

540
00:22:56,474 --> 00:22:58,154
Speaker 4: of material, But then I stood up and it was

541
00:22:58,154 --> 00:23:00,794
Speaker 4: all creasy, So.

542
00:23:00,754 --> 00:23:01,314
Speaker 1: I get it.

543
00:23:01,634 --> 00:23:05,234
Speaker 4: I try and leave as much as possible at work.

544
00:23:05,314 --> 00:23:07,793
Speaker 4: So just for example, if I've got a linen oversized

545
00:23:07,794 --> 00:23:11,114
Speaker 4: blazer or I'd have it off for the commute and

546
00:23:11,194 --> 00:23:12,833
Speaker 4: have it in my hands if I can't actually leave

547
00:23:12,874 --> 00:23:14,874
Speaker 4: it at work, so just resting on my laugh on

548
00:23:14,914 --> 00:23:17,114
Speaker 4: the bus, just so I'm not wearing it and it's

549
00:23:17,154 --> 00:23:20,594
Speaker 4: not capturing that body heat as much as possible. But yeah,

550
00:23:20,634 --> 00:23:22,754
Speaker 4: I leave a lot in the office if you can

551
00:23:22,874 --> 00:23:25,914
Speaker 4: do that, whether it be having a nice blazer always

552
00:23:25,914 --> 00:23:28,514
Speaker 4: on the back of your desk's chair. Also, another way

553
00:23:28,554 --> 00:23:30,994
Speaker 4: I like to think about freshening up a look is

554
00:23:31,034 --> 00:23:32,794
Speaker 4: also just your personal grooming.

555
00:23:33,394 --> 00:23:36,354
Speaker 1: So like is it just making sure that you've.

556
00:23:36,274 --> 00:23:38,714
Speaker 4: Got deoda in the office, fix up your hair and

557
00:23:38,754 --> 00:23:41,914
Speaker 4: your makeup, just freshen up before any meeting. I think

558
00:23:41,994 --> 00:23:44,714
Speaker 4: just can create that overall fresh, polished look. It's not

559
00:23:44,754 --> 00:23:48,553
Speaker 4: necessarily the clothes. I also have this really good I

560
00:23:48,674 --> 00:23:51,754
Speaker 4: hate ironing spray, which will include if I don't hear,

561
00:23:51,834 --> 00:23:53,474
Speaker 4: but it's something that I keep in my bag.

562
00:23:53,514 --> 00:23:55,674
Speaker 1: It's just it's easy to carry around if it's an

563
00:23:55,714 --> 00:23:58,314
Speaker 1: oversized bag or keep in the office.

564
00:23:58,354 --> 00:24:00,754
Speaker 4: And if I do notice some things are inevitable, just

565
00:24:00,754 --> 00:24:02,474
Speaker 4: say I'm wearing like a linen dress and it is

566
00:24:02,514 --> 00:24:03,074
Speaker 4: all creased.

567
00:24:03,434 --> 00:24:05,474
Speaker 1: You can just spray it down and wipe it.

568
00:24:06,034 --> 00:24:08,954
Speaker 2: And it straightens up it out. It's a great tip.

569
00:24:09,314 --> 00:24:11,754
Speaker 1: It's from Amazon. It's it's dirt cheap as well, but

570
00:24:11,994 --> 00:24:14,394
Speaker 1: carrying that around really helps. Yeah, I love that.

571
00:24:14,514 --> 00:24:17,714
Speaker 2: Those great tips. So we've spoken a little bit about

572
00:24:18,434 --> 00:24:21,914
Speaker 2: kind of working in corporate environments where the dress code

573
00:24:21,994 --> 00:24:24,354
Speaker 2: is a little bit more conservative, so it can be

574
00:24:24,394 --> 00:24:26,714
Speaker 2: tricky to kind of inject some of your own personal

575
00:24:26,754 --> 00:24:30,994
Speaker 2: style into those environments. So what would you say is

576
00:24:30,994 --> 00:24:33,234
Speaker 2: a good way to add some personality to your look

577
00:24:33,274 --> 00:24:34,234
Speaker 2: without breaking the rules.

578
00:24:34,314 --> 00:24:34,714
Speaker 1: Yeah.

579
00:24:35,114 --> 00:24:36,954
Speaker 4: I used to work at a place it wasn't corporate.

580
00:24:37,034 --> 00:24:39,793
Speaker 4: They had really strict rules. So it was in magazine,

581
00:24:39,834 --> 00:24:42,074
Speaker 4: and I guess you sort of had to dress for

582
00:24:42,114 --> 00:24:44,074
Speaker 4: the mag and the brand it was. And one of

583
00:24:44,114 --> 00:24:47,714
Speaker 4: the rules was no ripped dinner, so you could wear dinner,

584
00:24:47,754 --> 00:24:49,914
Speaker 4: but no ripped And I remember a girl actually wore

585
00:24:49,994 --> 00:24:51,634
Speaker 4: rips like it was just the one slid across the

586
00:24:51,714 --> 00:24:52,714
Speaker 4: knee and she got sent home.

587
00:24:52,754 --> 00:24:53,793
Speaker 1: That's how strict it was.

588
00:24:53,914 --> 00:24:54,154
Speaker 3: Wow.

589
00:24:54,234 --> 00:24:58,273
Speaker 4: Okay, so I understand, I know that's not necessarily corporate dressing,

590
00:24:58,394 --> 00:25:01,833
Speaker 4: but I understand like strict. It's strict it is. They

591
00:25:01,874 --> 00:25:05,114
Speaker 4: take it quite seriously as well. I'd think about personality

592
00:25:05,194 --> 00:25:07,554
Speaker 4: through beauty. I know it's not quite close, but whether

593
00:25:07,594 --> 00:25:11,434
Speaker 4: it be the hairstyle, the makeup, the accessories, the fragrance.

594
00:25:11,594 --> 00:25:13,674
Speaker 4: Like imagine if you're a barrister walking in the court,

595
00:25:13,754 --> 00:25:16,714
Speaker 4: you've got this sleep back barn and some massive Potaga

596
00:25:16,834 --> 00:25:21,154
Speaker 4: Doom earrings of Potago Dome earrings, something like that, I think,

597
00:25:21,314 --> 00:25:23,314
Speaker 4: or maybe it's your personal signature fragrance.

598
00:25:23,314 --> 00:25:26,234
Speaker 1: I know it's not quite fashion, but little.

599
00:25:26,354 --> 00:25:28,314
Speaker 4: I'm not saying you go with like pink hair into

600
00:25:29,394 --> 00:25:31,594
Speaker 4: for your first but like think about how you can

601
00:25:31,674 --> 00:25:36,313
Speaker 4: style hair and make up differently. I also like subtle

602
00:25:36,394 --> 00:25:39,474
Speaker 4: changes in silhouettes, so like a soft shoulder hats, so

603
00:25:39,474 --> 00:25:42,954
Speaker 4: you're still wearing a really nice tailored suit, but maybe

604
00:25:42,954 --> 00:25:45,354
Speaker 4: it's like the trouser could be more barrel cut, which

605
00:25:45,394 --> 00:25:45,914
Speaker 4: is in at the.

606
00:25:45,874 --> 00:25:49,754
Speaker 2: Moment, I won't have any Yeah, I had a similar

607
00:25:49,794 --> 00:25:52,714
Speaker 2: thought just about like playing with shapes yea design a

608
00:25:52,714 --> 00:25:54,874
Speaker 2: little bit. So obviously you can still stick to a

609
00:25:54,874 --> 00:25:58,154
Speaker 2: more muted color pallor that fits in and whatever environment

610
00:25:58,154 --> 00:25:59,874
Speaker 2: that you're working in, but maybe playing with like the

611
00:25:59,914 --> 00:26:02,754
Speaker 2: way the buttons are on the front. Construction of the jacket.

612
00:26:02,794 --> 00:26:04,754
Speaker 2: It doesn't have to be boring like a blazer, doesn't

613
00:26:04,794 --> 00:26:07,553
Speaker 2: have to be very simple. That you can and have

614
00:26:07,674 --> 00:26:10,194
Speaker 2: something where like you were saying, like light shoulder pads,

615
00:26:10,274 --> 00:26:12,194
Speaker 2: or the cut is a little bit interesting or nips

616
00:26:12,234 --> 00:26:14,314
Speaker 2: in at the waist a little bit. There's fun ways

617
00:26:14,314 --> 00:26:15,634
Speaker 2: to play with shape.

618
00:26:15,314 --> 00:26:17,674
Speaker 4: And also like the glasses that we were talking about,

619
00:26:17,714 --> 00:26:20,874
Speaker 4: like having a cool aviator style or catie or something.

620
00:26:21,114 --> 00:26:22,034
Speaker 1: Yeah.

621
00:26:22,074 --> 00:26:25,714
Speaker 4: So yeah, it's still caught professional, but you can tell

622
00:26:25,754 --> 00:26:26,514
Speaker 4: she's a cool girl.

623
00:26:26,634 --> 00:26:29,634
Speaker 2: Yes, exactly. I think there's a way to differentiate yourself

624
00:26:29,674 --> 00:26:33,194
Speaker 2: as like a fashion girlie without going without breaking the rules.

625
00:26:33,554 --> 00:26:36,754
Speaker 2: I think accessories are really great as well. With shoes, Yeah,

626
00:26:37,114 --> 00:26:39,594
Speaker 2: you can kind of have your corporate outfit, but like

627
00:26:39,634 --> 00:26:42,754
Speaker 2: a fun pop of color, isn't going to be something

628
00:26:42,794 --> 00:26:44,273
Speaker 2: that's shocking.

629
00:26:44,074 --> 00:26:46,314
Speaker 4: Yeah, or the cool heel could be like that circle

630
00:26:46,354 --> 00:26:48,553
Speaker 4: with the ball heel. Well, I don't know if you

631
00:26:48,554 --> 00:26:50,273
Speaker 4: could actually get away with this, but you know, Camilla

632
00:26:50,394 --> 00:26:54,474
Speaker 4: might do those fur heel. Yes, have you seen the balloon?

633
00:26:55,394 --> 00:26:56,474
Speaker 2: Yeah? I love those?

634
00:26:56,674 --> 00:26:59,154
Speaker 1: Like could you maybe wear that? I don't know, I

635
00:26:59,154 --> 00:26:59,794
Speaker 1: think you could.

636
00:26:59,874 --> 00:27:02,474
Speaker 2: I think if I think it just depends what you

637
00:27:02,514 --> 00:27:05,754
Speaker 2: stylo with. Yeah, I think a fun pop of color

638
00:27:05,954 --> 00:27:08,394
Speaker 2: or like an interesting pad, an interesting material on a

639
00:27:08,434 --> 00:27:10,994
Speaker 2: shoe is totally acceptable in a corporate Yeah, okay, if

640
00:27:10,994 --> 00:27:14,554
Speaker 2: you're wearing like a pantsuit, a fun right shoe, I think, is.

641
00:27:14,594 --> 00:27:16,954
Speaker 4: I just keep going back to a barrister walking in

642
00:27:16,954 --> 00:27:22,033
Speaker 4: in like a zebra heel or something. Come on, So,

643
00:27:22,074 --> 00:27:23,754
Speaker 4: I guess like we've been looking at a few like

644
00:27:23,794 --> 00:27:25,834
Speaker 4: accessories and the staples that we could have, But is

645
00:27:25,874 --> 00:27:29,314
Speaker 4: there one item that you think is worth splurging on

646
00:27:29,514 --> 00:27:32,314
Speaker 4: for your corporate work wardrobe?

647
00:27:32,794 --> 00:27:36,394
Speaker 2: There are a few things. So a bag, for me,

648
00:27:37,074 --> 00:27:39,634
Speaker 2: having a good quality bag that I wear every single

649
00:27:39,714 --> 00:27:42,954
Speaker 2: day is like priceless. Everyone needs a good work bag.

650
00:27:42,994 --> 00:27:44,354
Speaker 2: You wear it every day, you get so much wear

651
00:27:44,354 --> 00:27:46,754
Speaker 2: out of it. Shoes, I think is another great one.

652
00:27:46,834 --> 00:27:49,593
Speaker 2: To really invest in comfortable shoes that a good quality.

653
00:27:49,634 --> 00:27:52,033
Speaker 2: It's you, really especially when you're commuting to them from

654
00:27:52,074 --> 00:27:53,314
Speaker 2: the office. You know that you need a pair of

655
00:27:53,314 --> 00:27:56,954
Speaker 2: shoes you can walk in. But actually, for me, especially

656
00:27:56,994 --> 00:28:00,914
Speaker 2: when I'm wearing similar outfits on repeat in the office

657
00:28:00,914 --> 00:28:04,634
Speaker 2: every day, a really good pair of tailored trousers really

658
00:28:04,674 --> 00:28:06,234
Speaker 2: goes a long way. I think you can style it

659
00:28:06,274 --> 00:28:08,553
Speaker 2: so many different ways and they end up being a

660
00:28:08,594 --> 00:28:11,274
Speaker 2: piece that you wear daily. So yeah, a nice pair

661
00:28:11,314 --> 00:28:14,594
Speaker 2: of pants, nice material that don't crease that easily. Yeah,

662
00:28:15,194 --> 00:28:16,394
Speaker 2: I think that's a good investment piece.

663
00:28:16,474 --> 00:28:17,394
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree.

664
00:28:17,794 --> 00:28:20,074
Speaker 4: It's just like a piece of like a jacket or

665
00:28:20,074 --> 00:28:22,714
Speaker 4: an outer wear that you will be wearing regularly, and

666
00:28:22,754 --> 00:28:26,514
Speaker 4: it's almost okay to repeat, like outfit repeat, Like it's

667
00:28:26,554 --> 00:28:28,674
Speaker 4: okay to have the one trench. So maybe it is

668
00:28:28,714 --> 00:28:32,674
Speaker 4: like a really nice trench, even a trend seasonal, lightweight

669
00:28:32,754 --> 00:28:35,754
Speaker 4: style that will take you through more hotter and cooler

670
00:28:35,834 --> 00:28:36,594
Speaker 4: months as well.

671
00:28:37,074 --> 00:28:38,914
Speaker 1: Yeah. I love accessories as well.

672
00:28:38,754 --> 00:28:41,634
Speaker 4: And like you said, the comfort with shoes, like you

673
00:28:41,714 --> 00:28:44,434
Speaker 4: work better when you're comfortable run yea, even.

674
00:28:44,274 --> 00:28:46,714
Speaker 2: Walking around the office, like, yeah, you just need a

675
00:28:46,714 --> 00:28:48,794
Speaker 2: pair of shoes that fit well, that are comfortable that

676
00:28:48,914 --> 00:28:50,274
Speaker 2: I'm not going to give you listens. Yeah.

677
00:28:50,434 --> 00:28:53,394
Speaker 4: Yeah, think of what you need and what you'll be

678
00:28:53,434 --> 00:28:55,394
Speaker 4: I guess the main takeaway is what you'll be wearing

679
00:28:55,554 --> 00:28:58,314
Speaker 4: daily or be okay wearing daily, and I might.

680
00:28:58,154 --> 00:29:00,834
Speaker 2: Look different for everyone. You know, the things that you

681
00:29:00,874 --> 00:29:02,594
Speaker 2: wear the most, so then you'll really know what that

682
00:29:02,714 --> 00:29:05,914
Speaker 2: is for sure. So talking about like investing in pieces,

683
00:29:06,354 --> 00:29:09,914
Speaker 2: how do people build a capsual wardrobe when you're sort

684
00:29:09,914 --> 00:29:11,554
Speaker 2: of on a tight budget, you don't want to spend

685
00:29:11,554 --> 00:29:12,274
Speaker 2: a whole lot of money.

686
00:29:12,354 --> 00:29:15,914
Speaker 4: It can be tricky, it can I know we've sort

687
00:29:15,954 --> 00:29:18,874
Speaker 4: of spoken about trying to experiment and explore and be

688
00:29:18,994 --> 00:29:21,914
Speaker 4: experiential with our dressing, but I also think it's okay

689
00:29:21,954 --> 00:29:23,954
Speaker 4: to say in the same breath, it's okay to have

690
00:29:24,034 --> 00:29:26,594
Speaker 4: a bit of a capsule wardrobe in.

691
00:29:26,554 --> 00:29:27,434
Speaker 1: Your own style.

692
00:29:28,074 --> 00:29:31,034
Speaker 4: One of my friends owns a large Australian fashion label

693
00:29:31,074 --> 00:29:34,194
Speaker 4: and she's always in black and she that's just her thing.

694
00:29:34,314 --> 00:29:36,834
Speaker 4: So I don't necessarily she looks the same every day

695
00:29:36,834 --> 00:29:39,914
Speaker 4: to me, but I know she's wearing different things.

696
00:29:40,194 --> 00:29:42,234
Speaker 1: Signature thing black a signature color.

697
00:29:42,514 --> 00:29:45,874
Speaker 4: So maybe thinking about what is your signature color or

698
00:29:45,954 --> 00:29:49,594
Speaker 4: is it signature look like Mark Zuckerberg or Steve Jobs,

699
00:29:49,634 --> 00:29:55,514
Speaker 4: justck and be okay with having that look and owning it.

700
00:29:55,954 --> 00:29:57,154
Speaker 4: And I think that's all right.

701
00:29:57,034 --> 00:29:58,834
Speaker 1: And that'll be it'll be more affordable.

702
00:29:58,834 --> 00:30:00,954
Speaker 4: You could just have the same couple of teas or

703
00:30:00,954 --> 00:30:04,594
Speaker 4: whatnot on rotation and owning a particular style. I think

704
00:30:04,594 --> 00:30:07,874
Speaker 4: it's a nice way to have a capure wardrobe on

705
00:30:07,914 --> 00:30:08,634
Speaker 4: a type budget.

706
00:30:08,714 --> 00:30:09,474
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love that.

707
00:30:09,514 --> 00:30:10,954
Speaker 1: Do you have any other tips?

708
00:30:11,194 --> 00:30:14,274
Speaker 2: So if you're on a budget, I I sound like

709
00:30:14,274 --> 00:30:16,234
Speaker 2: a broken record at this point, but I would just

710
00:30:16,274 --> 00:30:16,994
Speaker 2: recommend thrifting.

711
00:30:17,394 --> 00:30:17,794
Speaker 1: Yeah.

712
00:30:17,994 --> 00:30:20,754
Speaker 2: Deep off is so good. You can find so many

713
00:30:20,874 --> 00:30:24,674
Speaker 2: great quality pieces from really nice brands, sometimes never worn

714
00:30:24,994 --> 00:30:27,514
Speaker 2: ye your tags on that sure, So deep Hop's a

715
00:30:27,514 --> 00:30:29,994
Speaker 2: great place to start, and from there, I would just

716
00:30:30,034 --> 00:30:32,074
Speaker 2: focus on what you already own and build from there.

717
00:30:32,074 --> 00:30:34,394
Speaker 2: So even if I am thrifted, I'm kind of thinking about, Okay,

718
00:30:34,394 --> 00:30:37,154
Speaker 2: what pants, what shoes, what tops do I usually wear

719
00:30:37,154 --> 00:30:38,994
Speaker 2: to work? And how can I paan new items with that?

720
00:30:39,074 --> 00:30:40,794
Speaker 2: And that where you're really getting the most out of

721
00:30:40,834 --> 00:30:42,754
Speaker 2: what you already have and not buying pieces that are

722
00:30:42,794 --> 00:30:43,554
Speaker 2: kind of overlaps.

723
00:30:43,674 --> 00:30:44,434
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love that.

724
00:30:44,834 --> 00:30:48,074
Speaker 4: Actually this top end shoes were from Vinnie's. They were

725
00:30:48,274 --> 00:30:50,034
Speaker 4: drifted and you could definitely wear.

726
00:30:49,914 --> 00:30:50,874
Speaker 1: This the office.

727
00:30:50,874 --> 00:30:51,554
Speaker 2: So great of it.

728
00:30:51,714 --> 00:30:53,954
Speaker 4: This top was It's Poka dot for anyone listening, It's

729
00:30:53,954 --> 00:30:54,994
Speaker 4: a black and white polka dot.

730
00:30:55,234 --> 00:30:56,354
Speaker 1: Definitely wear it in the office.

731
00:30:56,434 --> 00:30:59,474
Speaker 4: I think it was like twelve dollars, So yeah, Vinnie's

732
00:30:59,634 --> 00:31:00,634
Speaker 4: deepop obsessed.

733
00:31:00,714 --> 00:31:03,714
Speaker 2: Yeah love second. HND chopping is so good, especially these days,

734
00:31:03,714 --> 00:31:06,714
Speaker 2: I feel like there's just in Australia there's becoming more

735
00:31:06,754 --> 00:31:09,794
Speaker 2: and more people are donating their clothes and people are

736
00:31:09,954 --> 00:31:12,474
Speaker 2: selling things secondhand, so the market's just growing and growing.

737
00:31:12,674 --> 00:31:30,274
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's very expensive, Ny, how mudred these.

738
00:31:30,074 --> 00:31:31,994
Speaker 2: Let's get into Boujian budget.

739
00:31:32,074 --> 00:31:32,914
Speaker 1: Yeah, my favorite.

740
00:31:33,314 --> 00:31:34,754
Speaker 2: Do you want to start with your budget?

741
00:31:34,914 --> 00:31:35,714
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can do that.

742
00:31:36,394 --> 00:31:39,114
Speaker 4: So at the top of the episode, I spoke about

743
00:31:39,114 --> 00:31:42,594
Speaker 4: how I love the short sleeve blazer and even with

744
00:31:42,714 --> 00:31:45,474
Speaker 4: shorts as well, there's a realer isn't.

745
00:31:45,314 --> 00:31:47,114
Speaker 2: It such a cool goal look, isn't it?

746
00:31:47,234 --> 00:31:50,874
Speaker 4: I love it and it's like oversize so it's really comfortable.

747
00:31:51,314 --> 00:31:54,634
Speaker 4: I found a really nice one from Portman's. The shorts

748
00:31:54,674 --> 00:31:58,474
Speaker 4: is seventy one dollars and the blazers ninety five. So yes,

749
00:31:58,554 --> 00:32:02,034
Speaker 4: it's called the Summer Breeze Shorts and short sleeve Blazer.

750
00:32:02,154 --> 00:32:05,194
Speaker 4: Few different colors as well, but yeah, it's just it's

751
00:32:05,194 --> 00:32:08,634
Speaker 4: a nice, affordable, full look that you can wear as

752
00:32:08,674 --> 00:32:09,354
Speaker 4: separates as well.

753
00:32:09,474 --> 00:32:10,274
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I love that.

754
00:32:10,314 --> 00:32:11,754
Speaker 1: It's your budget mine.

755
00:32:11,914 --> 00:32:14,634
Speaker 2: We've spoken about Bagoo, so I'm going to recommend it.

756
00:32:15,034 --> 00:32:17,394
Speaker 2: So I only recently bought my leopard print one and

757
00:32:17,394 --> 00:32:19,674
Speaker 2: I've literally worn it every day for the last few months,

758
00:32:19,754 --> 00:32:22,394
Speaker 2: so highly recommend. I would recommend the nylon shoulder bag,

759
00:32:22,394 --> 00:32:24,594
Speaker 2: which is one that I have, but in Dove, which

760
00:32:24,674 --> 00:32:26,594
Speaker 2: is kind of this like light gray color, which I

761
00:32:26,634 --> 00:32:28,874
Speaker 2: think is a little bit more versatile, which is one

762
00:32:28,874 --> 00:32:30,434
Speaker 2: I do think I need to invest in just because

763
00:32:30,514 --> 00:32:33,554
Speaker 2: leopardrin is great, but it doesn't go single out of it.

764
00:32:33,754 --> 00:32:35,994
Speaker 2: I love it, but I think having a neutral color

765
00:32:36,194 --> 00:32:41,074
Speaker 2: for a work price anyone, that's crazy for something you

766
00:32:41,114 --> 00:32:42,754
Speaker 2: wear every day, something you can wash.

767
00:32:42,874 --> 00:32:46,474
Speaker 1: I yeah, love it. And what's your bougie? Each else?

768
00:32:46,754 --> 00:32:51,794
Speaker 2: So my bougie is a boxy rat blazer from Franky

769
00:32:51,874 --> 00:32:55,754
Speaker 2: Shop Cool. Love that brand. Yeah, it's really cool, such

770
00:32:55,754 --> 00:32:58,074
Speaker 2: as interesting things in terms of shape, and we were

771
00:32:58,114 --> 00:33:00,634
Speaker 2: talking earlier about kind of playing with shape and construction

772
00:33:00,714 --> 00:33:03,994
Speaker 2: and things like that to really elevate your wardrobe, especially

773
00:33:03,994 --> 00:33:05,834
Speaker 2: when you're working in corporate. So this one is a

774
00:33:05,874 --> 00:33:08,874
Speaker 2: fun one that's it's still professional. You can wear it

775
00:33:08,874 --> 00:33:10,994
Speaker 2: in a lot of professional environments, but the shape of

776
00:33:11,034 --> 00:33:12,434
Speaker 2: it makes it a little bit more cool girl, a

777
00:33:12,434 --> 00:33:14,434
Speaker 2: little bit more yeah cool.

778
00:33:14,554 --> 00:33:16,714
Speaker 1: It's like if you know, you know, yes, exactly.

779
00:33:16,794 --> 00:33:20,074
Speaker 2: It's a four hundred and thirty dollars so it is pricey,

780
00:33:20,154 --> 00:33:23,674
Speaker 2: but again talking about investing, I think outerwear is kind

781
00:33:23,674 --> 00:33:25,394
Speaker 2: of where it's at. If you're going to be wearing

782
00:33:25,394 --> 00:33:26,954
Speaker 2: that pizza lot, for sure, that's.

783
00:33:26,714 --> 00:33:27,794
Speaker 1: Not too bad for outerwear.
