Speaker 1: You're listening to a MoMA Mia podcast.
Speaker 2: Mama Mia acknowledges the traditional owners of land and waters
Speaker 2: that this podcast is recorded.
Speaker 3: On whoever said orange is a new pink with seriously.
Speaker 4: Disturbed laurels for spraying groundbreaking?
Speaker 1: Oh my god, you have to do it.
Speaker 3: You live for fashion.
Speaker 2: Hello, and welcome to Nothing to Wear, the podcast that
Speaker 2: solves fashion problems and levels up your wardrobe. I'm Lee Campbell,
Speaker 2: and every week I chat to an expert who helps
Speaker 2: us work out how to get more out of the
Speaker 2: clothes we already own and tells us exactly what is
Speaker 2: and what isn't worth adding to our wardrobes. Do you
Speaker 2: ever get to the weekend and think I have nothing
Speaker 2: to wear? Maybe you've got a wardrobe full of corporate wear,
Speaker 2: or you've worn your best clothes in the office, or
Speaker 2: you've got a wardrobe full of active wear or what
Speaker 2: I like to call after school clothes. It can be
Speaker 2: hard to work out what to wear on the weekend
Speaker 2: when you want to be comfed but feel elevated and stylish,
Speaker 2: and you might be doing lots of different things, from
Speaker 2: coffee chores to maybe a lovely brunch. I have a
Speaker 2: returning guest today from the Mumma Mea fashion collective. Fife
Speaker 2: Milne has been helping women find their perfect wardrobe for decades,
Speaker 2: and we're going to tell you the best pieces to
Speaker 2: bring into rotation to elevate your weekend wardrobe. Okay, so firstly, Fife,
Speaker 2: welcome back to the show. I am so excited to
Speaker 2: have you back. And I love following you and I
Speaker 2: agree with everything you post on Instagram, so I had
Speaker 2: to get you back. We have a great dressing room
Speaker 2: dilemma that I really think you're going to be able
Speaker 2: to help. I feel like all my clothes are for
Speaker 2: work or they're active wear. I get to the weekend
Speaker 2: and I don't know how to style anything. Is it
Speaker 2: too much like work, too dressed up, or way too casual?
Speaker 2: And I think this is something that a lot of
Speaker 2: women can relate to, depending on their lifestyle. They might be,
Speaker 2: you know, a stay at home mom or maybe a
Speaker 2: student and they're just all about leggings and active wear,
Speaker 2: or they.
Speaker 1: Could be corporate and you know suits and pencil skirts,
Speaker 1: and then it's kind of the in between. So let's
Speaker 1: talk about that.
Speaker 2: And I want to start Feefee with your philosophy because
Speaker 2: I think this is going to help a lot of people.
Speaker 1: What is your philosophy?
Speaker 5: Ah, well, the FF philosophies came about because they work
Speaker 5: post on me. And then because I've been a personal shopper.
Speaker 5: BV philosophies would be always update the classics, so the basics,
Speaker 5: because they always date. So when I've gone into people's
Speaker 5: wardrobes and done a wardrobe detoc so I'll say I've
Speaker 5: got all the classics, but I'm struggling and getting my
Speaker 5: outfit together or getting my look, and then you go
Speaker 5: into their wardrobe and you know they've got skinny jeans
Speaker 5: and a dated blazer or and a dated trend a
Speaker 5: little black dress.
Speaker 3: They can't get.
Speaker 5: Dressed because they put those on and they don't look right,
Speaker 5: and then they and try and.
Speaker 2: So it's interesting you say update the classics because a classic,
Speaker 2: then I guess is not a classic. I mean, sure
Speaker 2: they'll come around again, but I guess it's updating the
Speaker 2: basics because you know, the gene from ten years ago
Speaker 2: is probably not the gene now, or the T or
Speaker 2: like you say, the Blaze.
Speaker 5: Yeah, the Blaze a T shirt. What I would say
Speaker 5: here is that when you do update those pieces, then
Speaker 5: you just put them on and you don't have to
Speaker 5: do anything because they look great.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so what happens if you wear the dated pieces
Speaker 3: like skin of.
Speaker 5: Gens and type blaze or the wrong T shirt? You
Speaker 5: then you struggle and you're trying to fix it up.
Speaker 5: But you put on wide leg jeans and a sluty
Speaker 5: blaze and a new shaped T shirt and oh I
Speaker 5: could just walk out the door, put on the shoes
Speaker 5: or you know, just on that thought, I'm just thinking
Speaker 5: if you then just update one item, So if you
Speaker 5: have your update your genes to wide leg, then you
Speaker 5: could wear your old blazer or you can update your
Speaker 5: blazer and wear your old.
Speaker 1: Gens so elements.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it makes it so much easier if those basics
Speaker 5: or plastics are updated into the new shape.
Speaker 2: Could not agree more. Now, tabletop dressing, what is table
Speaker 2: I thought? And forks and glass talk to me about
Speaker 2: this one.
Speaker 3: So that's another philosophy.
Speaker 5: So that is really all about the attention and focus
Speaker 5: on the top of the body. So that is where
Speaker 5: people are looking at you, so from the waist up.
Speaker 5: Because what happens if you're sitting down or you're doing
Speaker 5: zoom or whatever you want all the focus and where
Speaker 5: you want to invest in a statement, peace will be
Speaker 5: on the top. And you know a lot of women
Speaker 5: say to me, oh, I'm worried, you know, about my knees,
Speaker 5: and I always kind of bend down and go, No
Speaker 5: one is down there.
Speaker 3: Looking at your knees. They're looking at the top.
Speaker 5: And then the other thing is then prints, skirts and
Speaker 5: pants aren't really in the passion at the moment. But
Speaker 5: if you get sequin skirts, maybe that's on the bottom,
Speaker 5: and then you struggle on the top because you can't
Speaker 5: have two amazing things, so then you were boring piece
Speaker 5: on the top of your body.
Speaker 2: So is it about picking what you're going to wear
Speaker 2: from the waist up first?
Speaker 3: Probably?
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I mean, once you get the seafee.
Speaker 5: Philosophies and you build a wardrobe, then you'll have fabulous
Speaker 5: tops and states blouses or blazers, and then you'll have
Speaker 5: your basic bottoms and then you can just slip in
Speaker 5: your tops in between.
Speaker 2: That's true because I often pick my bottoms first because
Speaker 2: I love a white leg pant or a jean or
Speaker 2: a long skirt. But then I'm always pairing it back
Speaker 2: with the white tea I need to at least choose
Speaker 2: the top first some of the time.
Speaker 3: I know, and that's good for statement. So that's one
Speaker 3: thing thing.
Speaker 2: Philosophy now tell me about try everything on with shoes.
Speaker 3: I always say, you're not going out in bare feet.
Speaker 5: I'll take people into the fitting room or go and
Speaker 5: do wardrobe detocks, and then they try everything on, and
Speaker 5: then it's actually the shoes that are going to make
Speaker 5: or break it.
Speaker 3: Like white shoes or what have you. So they add
Speaker 3: high edge that finishes the look.
Speaker 1: That is so true.
Speaker 2: And also then by the time I love my outfit,
Speaker 2: I've done my hair, I fed my child, I'm like, yes, shit,
Speaker 2: I've got to get out the door, and shoes are
Speaker 2: literally probably what's literally at the front door.
Speaker 1: And I haven't thought about it yet.
Speaker 5: That's right, And I think as you get older you
Speaker 5: might choose shoes there. The things are going to put
Speaker 5: the edge to the outfit as well, so they're quite.
Speaker 3: Important, so you're not doing some crazy or short cut
Speaker 3: out dress. It's just amazing on anyone.
Speaker 5: Even when people send me a photo of it out
Speaker 5: bit try it on with shoes and then send me
Speaker 5: the look advocated, you know, white juice, and they just
Speaker 5: lift it all. I had one client she invested in
Speaker 5: some white mules, and while I was doing a wardrobe detos,
Speaker 5: and literally everything she.
Speaker 3: Put on put on with the white meals. Suddenly, oh,
Speaker 3: that actually looks quite good.
Speaker 5: And there's a say in fashion something like the shoes
Speaker 5: sell the pants. They're so important, they're going to take
Speaker 5: it to the next level.
Speaker 2: One more question before we focus on, particularly the weekend,
Speaker 2: sure your feelings on hot pinks and bright colors.
Speaker 5: So I like to say that hot pink never looks expensive,
Speaker 5: and as it is, so they're just hard to carry off.
Speaker 5: So most of us are in a budget. We want
Speaker 5: to look chic and expensive. We want to get versatile wardrobe.
Speaker 5: So I would always say to people invest in what
Speaker 5: they call being approved expensive colors. Okay, obviously, if you
Speaker 5: can wear hot pink Valentino or Prada, you're going to
Speaker 5: look expensive, but it's very hard to carry that off,
Speaker 5: and those colors.
Speaker 3: Aren't as versatile, So chock.
Speaker 5: The brown caramel, maybe blue camel. And so what always
Speaker 5: say is that you're getting the fashion statement from the
Speaker 5: new shapes. So from a big blazer or white jeans
Speaker 5: or whatever, you're not getting the fashion statement from the
Speaker 5: crazy colors.
Speaker 1: And it's more of that kind of quiet luxury.
Speaker 2: And you're right, it's easy to find a beautiful tan
Speaker 2: blazer that could be Camilla Remark or could be Atmosson here.
Speaker 2: But once you get into the color and then you
Speaker 2: can yep, I'm with you there. Yeah, Okay, it's the
Speaker 2: weekend where it's Saturday morning, we've got to run around.
Speaker 2: For me, it's a kid's birthday party or sport. But
Speaker 2: then it might be quick coffee with a girlfriend, or
Speaker 2: I might have us on in a few hours to
Speaker 2: do something quite nice. Getting dressed on the weekend can
Speaker 2: be hard, So talk to me about upgrading our basics.
Speaker 2: So we just talked about the shapes matter and they
Speaker 2: change over the seasons.
Speaker 1: What about the quality?
Speaker 2: Do you think if we're reaching for a tea all
Speaker 2: the time, that that's where we may be splurge.
Speaker 5: I mean, I know that everyone does struggle with that
Speaker 5: weekend where they'll say, oh, I can do work, I
Speaker 5: can do active, where I can do black tie. But
Speaker 5: you don't have too dressy. You don't want to look
Speaker 5: too dat and daggy, so you just want to look
Speaker 5: like you're trying on. And I was thinking about that,
Speaker 5: and I thought, really, what's great about fashion at the
Speaker 5: moment is that it's loose, because anything tied doesn't.
Speaker 3: Look relaxed on the weekend.
Speaker 5: Yes, but definitely in terms of your question about if
Speaker 5: you wear like I've invested in a good quality say
Speaker 5: should of.
Speaker 3: Pad tea, I've got three of those.
Speaker 5: Invest in something within your budget that you think you're
Speaker 5: going to get, but it's going to get great wear,
Speaker 5: great cost.
Speaker 3: I agreed.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and quality doesn't have to mean expensive, it just
Speaker 2: means no, really exactly. Yeah, it's something that wateres well
Speaker 2: for me, soaks well because I get stains, and yes,
Speaker 2: and I'll keep reaching for it because it feels nice
Speaker 2: to wear.
Speaker 3: That's right exactly. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So we've got our basics right, We've got our
Speaker 2: shapes right. You're a fan of adding a third piece.
Speaker 2: What does add the third piece mean?
Speaker 5: Think about three colors on the body, so two can
Speaker 5: be a bit matchy MATCHI and more than three iosa
Speaker 5: who has the time to style themselves and work out
Speaker 5: how hard it you? So if you do three colors,
Speaker 5: so denim, camel and white, you could throw in a
Speaker 5: bright colored bag if you wanted two for a bit
Speaker 5: of color or the same with shoes.
Speaker 3: But it's just a rule of thumb.
Speaker 5: It's you're confident in doing more colors, a what have you,
Speaker 5: go for it, but.
Speaker 3: Just to break it up.
Speaker 5: Or if you're wearing two colors on the body, well
Speaker 5: you know, two colors like black and white, then you
Speaker 5: should wear like a tan bag or just break it up.
Speaker 3: And they're easy rules to follow, and I.
Speaker 2: Think taking it back to our dressing room, Dilemtte sounds
Speaker 2: like a lovely person has some corporate wear, some active wear,
Speaker 2: and it's that kind of in between stuff. So maybe
Speaker 2: she should start, you know, getting a couple of different
Speaker 2: colored teas, some denim and then maybe color down the
Speaker 2: road that capsule in between wardrobe.
Speaker 1: It helps if it's all tonal.
Speaker 5: And also I am a big fan of jackets in
Speaker 5: every reform, so weekend jackets have done lots of postal
Speaker 5: weekend jackets.
Speaker 2: What kinds like? Are we talking blazers, bombers, trench? I mean,
Speaker 2: I'm a jacket girl too.
Speaker 3: Barn jacket, that's a new one.
Speaker 1: What's a barn jacket?
Speaker 5: A barn jacket it must come from America the name,
Speaker 5: but a barn jacket is kind of a utility jacket,
Speaker 5: so it might have a collar a bit of a contrast,
Speaker 5: looks like a.
Speaker 3: Man's work wear jacket.
Speaker 5: I'd say, hey, yeah, so they're really cool at the
Speaker 5: moment and going to next season as well, because I'm
Speaker 5: all about investing early in the trends. So you get
Speaker 5: years were so barn jacket so they kind of oversized.
Speaker 3: Or with pockets, utility wear like the cargo jacket.
Speaker 5: And also the other thing, as you said, bombers are
Speaker 5: really greatful weekends, or even a denim jacket, an oversized
Speaker 5: jacket or a little short, kind of little crop it
Speaker 5: is really nice with highways and pants and jackets will
Speaker 5: take it to the next level, not in terms of formality,
Speaker 5: but on the weekends.
Speaker 3: We they want to.
Speaker 5: Wear it look a bit elevated or look a bit yes,
Speaker 5: looking a little bit fashion. You just want to throw
Speaker 5: in a jacket because at this tabletop dressing, it's going
Speaker 5: to give this structure because you know, wearing a white
Speaker 5: T shirt on weekends or anytime, it's really hard to
Speaker 5: carry off. But what with a jacket over the top
Speaker 5: until it gets really hot, that's the way you're going
Speaker 5: to take it to the.
Speaker 3: Next level.
Speaker 2: Footwear on the weekend. Everyone's still loving the world of sneakers.
Speaker 2: I wear sneaker is a fair bit, but also I
Speaker 2: want other options. How do you feel about fancy sneakers?
Speaker 2: What are other options for the weekend on our feet?
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, it's funny you say that, because sometimes I
Speaker 3: think you have to be we don't glad you're going
Speaker 3: to bowls, you know, and I'm a bit older, you
Speaker 3: think you know, white sneaker is a great. Caramel sneak
Speaker 3: is a great horrible sneakers.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, I like.
Speaker 3: A soul of the sneaker. It's in the caramel.
Speaker 1: Rubbery yep, because then that is going to go back
Speaker 1: with all you Yeah, and.
Speaker 2: That feels a little bit more lifestyle and less like
Speaker 2: you're going to the gym.
Speaker 3: It's sporty exactly. Yeah.
Speaker 5: But I like sneakers with wide legged jeans because that
Speaker 5: kind of covers it up.
Speaker 3: I don't know, it looks really good the proportion balance.
Speaker 5: The other thing I probably wear on weekends is Fishermen sandals.
Speaker 2: Okay, so they're here to stay. Like those netty meshes.
Speaker 3: Whose nanty meshy ones are great again. I've been wearing them.
Speaker 5: With my old pieces from last season, and it just lifts,
Speaker 5: you know, you put on the white little Fishermen sandals
Speaker 5: are like they're a.
Speaker 1: Bit of a thicker.
Speaker 2: I say, like a Clark School sandal, but that doesn't
Speaker 2: make sense, but that vibe of buckles, Yeah.
Speaker 5: Exactly, And I think the road did you know originally
Speaker 5: and there were thousands of months.
Speaker 2: I think we'll find them at places like sports Girl
Speaker 2: and Mango now for much cheaper.
Speaker 1: What color would you do?
Speaker 3: Oh? Well, I always do cream all white. I just
Speaker 3: I'm stuck on those.
Speaker 5: But I get a lot of questions too about Dad's sandals,
Speaker 5: so you know, she now did the chunky and I
Speaker 5: still think they're right because they do look really good
Speaker 5: with wide le jeans and they're so comfortable.
Speaker 3: And yes, they've kind of placid in the trend type
Speaker 3: of thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but they're still around.
Speaker 3: They're still around.
Speaker 2: Now, listen excessorized. This is something I do quite well
Speaker 2: for work, but I forget on the weekend. Yeah, if
Speaker 2: we add of those little touches, it can really elevate
Speaker 2: it out. What do you recommend forting on the weekend
Speaker 2: that doesn't feel too hard?
Speaker 5: Well, I think this question all the time, and people
Speaker 5: get what about accessorieson half the time.
Speaker 1: I say, don't worry about Okay.
Speaker 5: I've got a gorgeous Valentino belt that I lashed out
Speaker 5: on and that is in the tan.
Speaker 3: It's reversible.
Speaker 5: For what I'm saying is she could put your money
Speaker 5: in that and then that'll just suddenly add a little
Speaker 5: bit of those yours to your jeans.
Speaker 3: And a T shirt.
Speaker 5: But actually, as I said before, if you update into
Speaker 5: the new shapes, you just look great.
Speaker 3: You don't have to put on a belt, you.
Speaker 5: Don't have to put on earrings or a necklace or
Speaker 5: scarf anything.
Speaker 3: You just have a good bag. Maybe you might have
Speaker 3: a good designer.
Speaker 5: Bag on the weekend, but otherwise, invest in a nice
Speaker 5: tan bag like a shoulder back and some white shoes
Speaker 5: and you don't really have to poop around with access Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, only if you want to, if you want to.
Speaker 2: Yeah, when I'm running around, I've got a few beautiful
Speaker 2: bangles I love, but I've taken by lunch time because
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, they're clangging right.
Speaker 5: And also a lot of women probably do have their
Speaker 5: favorite jewelry, so they're just going to wear that. They're
Speaker 5: not saying, don't wear your own favorite jewely, but just
Speaker 5: don't overthink having to add extra because you don't really
Speaker 5: need to.
Speaker 2: Now we talked about colors. Yeah, maybe we want to
Speaker 2: add a proper color. Are we thinking in a bag?
Speaker 2: Are we thinking?
Speaker 3: Yeah, in a red shoes?
Speaker 2: Red shoes, so red still here for this summer, yes.
Speaker 5: Yeah, red burgun dn and going to next season. I
Speaker 5: mean the sneakers, like green sneakers.
Speaker 3: They're really cool.
Speaker 5: Yes, always do color and accessories, so or you might
Speaker 5: be a bag.
Speaker 3: You might do silver.
Speaker 5: Maybe not for casual weekends, but I would would I
Speaker 5: do a.
Speaker 3: Red T shirt? Not do a red T shirt? Maybe green? Maybe?
Speaker 3: The greens so nice, that brack green.
Speaker 1: The black green is everywhere. And I mean it's not
Speaker 1: a bright color.
Speaker 2: But you know you're a big fan of that kind
Speaker 2: of classic light blue shirt.
Speaker 3: Yes, shirt yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Well when I turned
Speaker 3: the approved expensive colors, it would be blue or light blue.
Speaker 5: And that's because those blues go back to the camels
Speaker 5: and the chocolate brown.
Speaker 2: Because there's a secondary color. They're not really out there.
Speaker 3: That's right.
Speaker 5: So if you go off pieces, as I say, and
Speaker 5: you get purple and red and pink and bright, they
Speaker 5: just become tricky. And as I said, you've got the confidence, definitely,
Speaker 5: but most people the idea of a little bit of
Speaker 5: a rule.
Speaker 3: Of thumb just to get out the door.
Speaker 1: I agreed with you there.
Speaker 2: Now, fabric, Do you think the fabric makes a difference?
Speaker 1: Are we going for linens and cashmere or silk?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 5: Yes, yeah, definitely. All the natural fabrics are great because
Speaker 5: they're going to wear. Willing well is great. I mean
Speaker 5: everyone says I'd be dining, but I mean that's the
Speaker 5: point of linen.
Speaker 3: It just kind of shouldn't be crushed. So that's a
Speaker 3: lovely yeah, exactly, So linen is great.
Speaker 5: I mean they're all breatheable fabrics, which are great for
Speaker 5: the weekend, you know, definitely.
Speaker 3: But then there are.
Speaker 5: Some fabrics man made whatever you want to call them,
Speaker 5: that actually have a bit of weight to them. So
Speaker 5: I've got a few T shirts from our kit through
Speaker 5: in calls, and they're in like a scuba T shirt
Speaker 5: and they're quite heavy and they're not like definitely a
Speaker 5: wetsent or anything, but they're a fabric and I love
Speaker 5: them because you don't need to iron them and they
Speaker 5: don't cling, so they're quite stiff. Yeah it's a T shirt,
Speaker 5: but it just doesn't cling to all them.
Speaker 2: And so good for travel because I must say tea
Speaker 2: like that. You don't have to steam or iron. I've
Speaker 2: got some really good sort of polyester blazers that can
Speaker 2: be crumpled up and chucked in a case and they
Speaker 2: still look really cool as long as I'm not going
Speaker 2: to a heat wave.
Speaker 5: Exactly with a bit of weight to it might be made.
Speaker 5: But I love those T shirts. They're really great because
Speaker 5: you put them on and then I call them the
Speaker 5: statement T shirt.
Speaker 3: They look great, but they're not.
Speaker 5: A cleaning floppy, you know, T shirt, and no one
Speaker 5: ever looks good.
Speaker 2: In I'm going online to have anything else before we
Speaker 2: get into a bougie and budget. If someone is struggling
Speaker 2: to get dressed in the morning on a Saturday on
Speaker 2: a Sunday, and they might have varying levels of things
Speaker 2: they're doing, what should they do?
Speaker 5: Well, Actually, that's a very good question because I was
Speaker 5: thinking too that we talked about jeans.
Speaker 3: But I'm a huge fan of chinos.
Speaker 1: Oh tell me more, how don't.
Speaker 5: We describe ginos? So they've just cotton pants, heavy cotton pants.
Speaker 5: They might be in the new wide legs shape. They're
Speaker 5: not jeans and they're not boring black pants, so they
Speaker 5: are perfect for weekends. And I love them as well,
Speaker 5: so they'll be in a camera or you could do
Speaker 5: white as well, and then you'll wear them.
Speaker 3: They look great with if you want to dress them
Speaker 3: up going out.
Speaker 5: You could wear them with a strappy heel and it
Speaker 5: flowers or sequen tea or something. But then casually going
Speaker 5: out for breakfast or whatever, you just put on your
Speaker 5: chinos and a slouchy blaze on a tea, push up
Speaker 5: the sleeves and plumb some little black dad sands or
Speaker 5: something and last speakers.
Speaker 3: Yeah, even burken stock something like that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's very expensive.
Speaker 3: How mud are these percent.
Speaker 1: Fifi onto bougie and budgets?
Speaker 3: Yeah, what are you.
Speaker 2: Going to tell me about? Do you want to start
Speaker 2: with your boogie or do you want to start with
Speaker 2: your budget? My items are different, but there are two
Speaker 2: things I can't live without on the weekend.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I would probably have to say a designer bag.
Speaker 5: So for bougie, yeah, I mean I've got a gorgeous
Speaker 5: Gucci one that's you know, price of a small car.
Speaker 3: But in terms of cross per where I don't go, Oh,
Speaker 3: I'm just going to.
Speaker 5: Wear that when I'm going somewhere out for dinner, I'll
Speaker 5: wear that crossbody with my jeans.
Speaker 1: Even though body versatile.
Speaker 3: How big, Oh, it's just small.
Speaker 5: You can see everything in there, but it's not a
Speaker 5: huge experside, so it could be worn kind of tucking
Speaker 5: under my arm sometimes if I'm going out for dinner.
Speaker 3: But that is.
Speaker 5: Definitely the cost of where I've just worn a cross
Speaker 5: body with active weear.
Speaker 1: That's it.
Speaker 2: And if you are rushing out the door and I
Speaker 2: just chucked on your simple outfit, You've got a beautiful bag.
Speaker 3: Yeah exactly.
Speaker 1: Just said something about the whole wardrobe.
Speaker 5: Yeah, And I think with those is that where you
Speaker 5: do invest in a really good quality you.
Speaker 3: Just can't kill the n things.
Speaker 1: Yes I can.
Speaker 3: Where they aware them, aware them, they just keep going.
Speaker 2: And they also bring a sense of joy. I mean,
Speaker 2: I've got so many handbags. When I reach for my
Speaker 2: favorite handbags and they're probably more on the pricey side,
Speaker 2: I just feel good.
Speaker 3: Yeah exactly. I'm like, that's right, that's just so nice.
Speaker 3: It's a treat.
Speaker 2: Well, my bougie funny you just mentioned Birkenstocks. I only
Speaker 2: got into Birkenstocks in pregnancy and I live in them,
Speaker 2: and so the ones that are next on my list
Speaker 2: are the Birkenstocks st baths let slides. I don't wear
Speaker 2: the Birkenstocks with the cork heel or the cork sol
Speaker 2: because I feel.
Speaker 1: Like they get stinking a bit weird. These ones are leather.
Speaker 2: They're three hundred and seventy one dollars, so a lot
Speaker 2: for a sandal. However, my last pair of Birkenstocks were
Speaker 2: the Birkenstocks Parensa Shuler collapse them four years ago. I
Speaker 2: would have paid one cent per wear because I wear
Speaker 2: them so much. They're molded to my feet. They're like
Speaker 2: slippers for outside. The scent baths ones, yeah, they're just beautiful.
Speaker 2: They're chunky at the bottom, but not Chanell Dad chunky,
Speaker 2: and then just two very simple straps of gold buckle.
Speaker 2: They're on my wish list on neta Porter. I have
Speaker 2: favorite of them. I don't think they're going to go
Speaker 2: on sale. I think sliding on a comfy shoe that
Speaker 2: you can run around with, and I quite like that
Speaker 2: with like a linen skirt, you can make the chunkier
Speaker 2: sand to look a bit. It doesn't have to just
Speaker 2: be with active web.
Speaker 3: And I've seen three Burton stocks too.
Speaker 5: They're in a fabric, Yeah, because they're great, but again
Speaker 5: they're not two CA but they're.
Speaker 2: Just yeah, they're very, very versatile. Yeah, okay, what's your budget?
Speaker 5: I have to say that I would probably not spend
Speaker 5: a lot of money on jeans, so you know, like
Speaker 5: cotton On would do fantastic wide leg jeans or gar Yeah.
Speaker 5: And I think brands like Zaa and and Vittlams say
Speaker 5: they all spend a lot of money on their fit,
Speaker 5: so they've got to get all right. Yeah, so they're
Speaker 5: not just pulling out that gene that they made three
Speaker 5: years ago.
Speaker 2: And what are you looking for in a weekend gene
Speaker 2: even if it's an affordable store?
Speaker 1: Is it high waist? Wide leg?
Speaker 3: Yeah, wide legs, slouchy?
Speaker 5: I mean I put on anything that every woman does,
Speaker 5: anything that's too tight to go, Oh no, I can't
Speaker 5: wear that. I'm going for not too high waist, sitting
Speaker 5: down a little bit, always go up the size that's
Speaker 5: and then I just like all the slouchy. Actually I
Speaker 5: then cut off all my jeans with scissors myself.
Speaker 1: But do you do you hamm them at the bottom yourself.
Speaker 2: Just yeah, yeah, Oh my god, You've just saved me
Speaker 2: so much money with my pile of dinner and I'm
Speaker 2: waiting to get altered.
Speaker 3: Made me throw them in the washing machine, then they
Speaker 3: fraved it. Then you get the scissors out again, and
Speaker 3: just I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 5: Well, I mean, now they're selling them like that, yes,
Speaker 5: And I don't have really really.
Speaker 3: Long legs, so I've always going to just slip them
Speaker 3: off a little bit.
Speaker 1: I love it. No, I agree.
Speaker 2: I bought some great wide legg jeans for Mat and
Speaker 2: them a few weeks ago. In the comments I get
Speaker 2: on them, I think they were forty four dollars. My
Speaker 2: budget is leggings. I was shopping with a girlfriend the
Speaker 2: other week, and what I want is just a pair
Speaker 2: of active wear leggings with a trench or an oversized
Speaker 2: denim jacket or a denim shirt and my birkenstocks or
Speaker 2: even a kitten. Here, you can't really tell. I went
Speaker 2: into a store called Rockwear that I've never heard of before.
Speaker 2: I was in a random shopping center and they are
Speaker 2: like a sportswear brand. So I purchased because there wasn't
Speaker 2: any pockets, because I do love an active wear legging.
Speaker 1: With a little pocket.
Speaker 2: But for this I needed really slim lines, so I
Speaker 2: bought the rock Wear Tummy Support full length time. They're
Speaker 2: so comfortable, They're so good. They're plain black. They do
Speaker 2: have a little seam down the side, but it doesn't
Speaker 2: look spawty. There's no logo, there's no color or contrast.
Speaker 2: They are so comfortable. I have since worn them with
Speaker 2: like a cool oversized shirt and a kitten heel, with
Speaker 2: my sandals, with my new balance and honestly, like a
Speaker 2: little leather jacket.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and it's tapping into that prepant thing that's happening there.
Speaker 2: I say, yeah, well, I got the full length because
Speaker 2: I don't have ankles, right, but they do come in
Speaker 2: lots of different lengths.
Speaker 5: The stir of pants are kind of coming back too.
Speaker 5: I've been talking about them for a couple of years.
Speaker 5: So that's that type of thing you're talking about.
Speaker 1: Leg Yeah, that's it.
Speaker 2: I'm doing the really big volume and slouchiness on the top,
Speaker 2: but then the legging just so I can literally get
Speaker 2: out of the car and run and not worry about
Speaker 2: tripping over my wide leg pants.
Speaker 1: Well, Fife. You've got me excited about getting dressed this
Speaker 1: coming week. Oh, thank you so much.
