1
00:00:08,234 --> 00:00:15,433

Speaker 1: you isn't about beauty, but it's going to change your life.

4
00:00:21,034 --> 00:00:23,393
Speaker 1: I recently had an incredible stylist on Nothing to Wear.

5
00:00:23,594 --> 00:00:26,474
Speaker 1: Her name is Sam Preston. She's fresh to Australia from

6
00:00:26,474 --> 00:00:29,074
Speaker 1: the UK and she has the most refreshing take on

7
00:00:29,154 --> 00:00:32,954
Speaker 1: getting dressed. She barely buys anything new. She inspired me

8
00:00:33,034 --> 00:00:34,273
Speaker 1: to do the same and I want you to have

9
00:00:34,274 --> 00:00:38,473
Speaker 1: a listen and see what you think. Whoever said orange

10
00:00:38,554 --> 00:00:42,953
Speaker 1: is a new pink with seriously deserved laurels for spraying groundbreaking?

11
00:00:43,193 --> 00:00:45,473
Speaker 2: Oh my god, you have to do it. You live

12
00:00:45,593 --> 00:00:46,273
Speaker 2: for fashion.

13
00:00:47,634 --> 00:00:50,233
Speaker 1: Hello and welcome to Nothing to Wear the podcast. It

14
00:00:50,314 --> 00:00:53,313
Speaker 1: solves fashion problems and levels up your wardrobe. I'm Lee

15
00:00:53,394 --> 00:00:56,033
Speaker 1: Campbell and I'm back. I have taken some time off

16
00:00:56,034 --> 00:00:57,834
Speaker 1: over the past few months to spend it with my

17
00:00:57,954 --> 00:01:00,393
Speaker 1: mom before she passed away. But as you know, if

18
00:01:00,434 --> 00:01:02,674
Speaker 1: you're a regular listener, you were in very good hands.

19
00:01:02,994 --> 00:01:04,794
Speaker 1: But it's great to be back. So thank you to

20
00:01:04,834 --> 00:01:07,034
Speaker 1: the Nothing to Wear audience for having me back and

21
00:01:07,154 --> 00:01:09,794
Speaker 1: all the lovely messages while I was gone. Now, my

22
00:01:09,834 --> 00:01:12,634
Speaker 1: first episode back is a good one. I have fresh

23
00:01:12,674 --> 00:01:15,394
Speaker 1: new talent for us. Her name is Sam and she's

24
00:01:15,434 --> 00:01:18,554
Speaker 1: a wardrobe strategist. She only arrived in Australia a couple

25
00:01:18,554 --> 00:01:21,154
Speaker 1: of months ago and she has a fresh new take

26
00:01:21,314 --> 00:01:24,474
Speaker 1: on our wardrobes. And guess what we're not doing any

27
00:01:24,474 --> 00:01:26,954
Speaker 1: shopping in this episode. Well we have a few boogie

28
00:01:26,954 --> 00:01:30,034
Speaker 1: and budget recommendations, but we'll explain why at the end.

29
00:01:30,154 --> 00:01:33,234
Speaker 1: So Sam is all about strategy. And guess what you

30
00:01:33,274 --> 00:01:35,634
Speaker 1: stand in front of your wardrobe and say I have

31
00:01:35,714 --> 00:01:38,354
Speaker 1: nothing to wear because you probably have too much or

32
00:01:38,394 --> 00:01:41,074
Speaker 1: you don't know how to style what you already have.

33
00:01:41,794 --> 00:01:44,194
Speaker 1: And with technology and social media, you can press two

34
00:01:44,274 --> 00:01:47,033
Speaker 1: or three buttons and you've ordered something new, which feels

35
00:01:47,074 --> 00:01:49,594
Speaker 1: more exciting and less hard than looking at what you've

36
00:01:49,594 --> 00:01:53,154
Speaker 1: already got. But it's hiding in your wardrobe. Your personal

37
00:01:53,234 --> 00:01:55,514
Speaker 1: style is there. So Sam's gonna teach us how to

38
00:01:55,554 --> 00:01:58,474
Speaker 1: go through what we already have, pair things together and

39
00:01:58,594 --> 00:02:01,314
Speaker 1: style our clothes that we already love instead of just

40
00:02:01,394 --> 00:02:04,674
Speaker 1: buying something new. So let's get into it. Sam. Firstly,

41
00:02:04,794 --> 00:02:05,874
Speaker 1: welcome to Nothing to Wear.

42
00:02:06,074 --> 00:02:06,434
Speaker 2: Thank you.

43
00:02:07,114 --> 00:02:09,634
Speaker 1: Before we get into your topic, which I desperately need

44
00:02:09,794 --> 00:02:12,554
Speaker 1: to talk about. There's two questions I start with for

45
00:02:12,633 --> 00:02:14,994
Speaker 1: new guests. So the first one is can you describe

46
00:02:15,034 --> 00:02:17,114
Speaker 1: your own style in three words?

47
00:02:17,514 --> 00:02:18,714
Speaker 2: Oh?

48
00:02:18,794 --> 00:02:23,874
Speaker 3: Yes, probably relaxed, because I don't like anything too fossy.

49
00:02:24,074 --> 00:02:27,554
Speaker 3: I need to like move around, be with the kids

50
00:02:27,714 --> 00:02:32,154
Speaker 3: every day. Probably on fussy actually, and fussy I like that. Yeah,

51
00:02:32,274 --> 00:02:34,514
Speaker 3: So I just like to be I'm very grounded in

52
00:02:34,554 --> 00:02:37,714
Speaker 3: my personal stale. I feel like I've been there, done

53
00:02:37,714 --> 00:02:40,074
Speaker 3: that in terms of the trends.

54
00:02:39,794 --> 00:02:41,554
Speaker 2: And I just know when I like.

55
00:02:41,754 --> 00:02:46,314
Speaker 3: And it as very much relaxed, grinded on, fossy, efiniteless.

56
00:02:46,474 --> 00:02:48,554
Speaker 1: Okay, Oh my gosh, that's what we all want to be.

57
00:02:48,714 --> 00:02:52,154
Speaker 1: I am relaxed usually because I only look nice twice

58
00:02:52,154 --> 00:02:54,633
Speaker 1: a week and then I just look off. But they're

59
00:02:54,754 --> 00:02:55,114
Speaker 1: very good.

60
00:02:55,194 --> 00:02:55,514
Speaker 2: Okay.

61
00:02:56,074 --> 00:02:58,274
Speaker 1: There's a theory that most people have a wardrobe full

62
00:02:58,274 --> 00:03:00,034
Speaker 1: of clothes, whether that be a lot of clothes or

63
00:03:00,074 --> 00:03:02,274
Speaker 1: a small amount, but they wear ten percent of what

64
00:03:02,314 --> 00:03:04,954
Speaker 1: they own. Yeah, the most. Yeah, almost ninety percent of

65
00:03:04,954 --> 00:03:06,754
Speaker 1: the time. What's in new your ten percent? On the

66
00:03:06,834 --> 00:03:10,314
Speaker 1: high rotation, I would say white T shirt.

67
00:03:11,754 --> 00:03:15,154
Speaker 3: I'm constantly my white T shirt, jeans, Maddie Scott's I've

68
00:03:15,194 --> 00:03:16,834
Speaker 3: been wearing weight a lot.

69
00:03:18,274 --> 00:03:21,994
Speaker 2: It's just easy slip on stuff like blacks.

70
00:03:22,874 --> 00:03:23,514
Speaker 1: White T shirts.

71
00:03:23,514 --> 00:03:23,874
Speaker 2: Do you have that?

72
00:03:24,234 --> 00:03:28,034
Speaker 3: I actually do have quite a few, because there's there's

73
00:03:28,074 --> 00:03:28,674
Speaker 3: different shapes.

74
00:03:28,714 --> 00:03:29,794
Speaker 2: I have an off sized.

75
00:03:29,554 --> 00:03:32,034
Speaker 3: One, I have a baby one, I have a relaxed one,

76
00:03:32,074 --> 00:03:34,154
Speaker 3: I different color.

77
00:03:35,194 --> 00:03:36,914
Speaker 1: I'm a white T shirt girl. Yeah, so I'm glad

78
00:03:36,914 --> 00:03:37,514
Speaker 1: that you say that.

79
00:03:37,594 --> 00:03:39,834
Speaker 3: I used to be the type of person who would

80
00:03:39,834 --> 00:03:41,954
Speaker 3: be like, we only need two T shirts?

81
00:03:41,994 --> 00:03:43,434
Speaker 1: But no, I'm like, do you wear it all the time?

82
00:03:43,434 --> 00:03:44,794
Speaker 1: What do you only have two pairs of bundies?

83
00:03:44,794 --> 00:03:45,234
Speaker 2: Exactly?

84
00:03:46,634 --> 00:03:49,114
Speaker 1: So far we're very similar. I'm always a gene, but

85
00:03:49,154 --> 00:03:51,194
Speaker 1: I'm slowly well. I've always loved to maxis Good or

86
00:03:51,234 --> 00:03:53,474
Speaker 1: medi sCOD, but I think back again this season in

87
00:03:53,514 --> 00:03:54,954
Speaker 1: a way that they haven't been for a while.

88
00:03:55,194 --> 00:03:55,914
Speaker 2: Yeah.

89
00:03:56,154 --> 00:03:59,194
Speaker 3: And I'm constantly wearing like a longer short these days,

90
00:03:59,234 --> 00:04:01,194
Speaker 3: or whether it's a tail short, whether it's a box

91
00:04:01,314 --> 00:04:03,514
Speaker 3: or short, a longer length.

92
00:04:03,634 --> 00:04:05,554
Speaker 2: I have been gravitating towards them.

93
00:04:05,754 --> 00:04:07,834
Speaker 1: But nothing too full on the waist, nothing to.

94
00:04:07,914 --> 00:04:09,074
Speaker 2: Feel on the way, It's nothing.

95
00:04:09,394 --> 00:04:11,314
Speaker 1: I've got a pair of shorts OFFT deepop recently and

96
00:04:11,314 --> 00:04:13,434
Speaker 1: they were gorgeously that brand Rowie or something but then

97
00:04:13,514 --> 00:04:15,394
Speaker 1: I've realized, well they look so cup but then they've

98
00:04:15,394 --> 00:04:16,714
Speaker 1: got this bucket, like they've got a built in belt

99
00:04:16,753 --> 00:04:18,633
Speaker 1: with a bucket that goes across there and then across

100
00:04:18,154 --> 00:04:21,034
Speaker 1: the there's too much fus asn't it too much fuss?

101
00:04:21,154 --> 00:04:24,073
Speaker 1: RePOP see you later. I wear too much. So if

102
00:04:24,113 --> 00:04:26,833
Speaker 1: it sometimes, if it looks not unfussy, the item can

103
00:04:26,993 --> 00:04:27,914
Speaker 1: itself be home.

104
00:04:27,834 --> 00:04:29,914
Speaker 3: Oh definitely. And you can stand in front of that

105
00:04:29,914 --> 00:04:31,993
Speaker 3: mirror and well, yes, this looks amazing. And when you

106
00:04:32,034 --> 00:04:35,234
Speaker 3: walk around and do your day to day things, yeah.

107
00:04:35,073 --> 00:04:37,474
Speaker 1: It's like yeah, and then you don't reach for the end. Okay, yeah,

108
00:04:37,674 --> 00:04:39,873
Speaker 1: I feel like you might clean so far. Okay, So

109
00:04:40,034 --> 00:04:42,753
Speaker 1: you're here to help us fall back in love with

110
00:04:42,794 --> 00:04:46,873
Speaker 1: our wardrobe and wear the things we own through styling,

111
00:04:47,393 --> 00:04:50,033
Speaker 1: not shopping. Yeah, so this is not a shopping episode.

112
00:04:50,034 --> 00:04:52,393
Speaker 1: We may have a few recommendations at the end, but

113
00:04:53,834 --> 00:04:55,713
Speaker 1: this podcast has called nothing to Wear for good reason.

114
00:04:55,794 --> 00:04:58,154
Speaker 1: There's many a woman who's stood in front of all

115
00:04:58,154 --> 00:05:01,073
Speaker 1: their clothes, their wardrobe whatever, however they've got on the

116
00:05:01,234 --> 00:05:04,274
Speaker 1: chair and they've said, I've got nothing to wear. So

117
00:05:04,393 --> 00:05:06,153
Speaker 1: why does that happen to us? Do you think?

118
00:05:06,753 --> 00:05:10,153
Speaker 3: I think it's probably we have too many options. We

119
00:05:10,274 --> 00:05:15,394
Speaker 3: are overwhelmed by our wardrobes. We shop by occasion. We

120
00:05:15,474 --> 00:05:17,313
Speaker 3: have a meeting to go to, we might shop. We

121
00:05:17,594 --> 00:05:20,033
Speaker 3: have a party to go to, we might shop. We

122
00:05:20,154 --> 00:05:23,913
Speaker 3: shop like that rather than we're kind of daily life,

123
00:05:24,113 --> 00:05:25,593
Speaker 3: so we can't You can't see the wood for the

124
00:05:25,594 --> 00:05:28,354
Speaker 3: trees when you're looking in your wardrobe. Band you know,

125
00:05:28,393 --> 00:05:30,474
Speaker 3: what can I wear today? When you're dressing for your

126
00:05:30,633 --> 00:05:34,234
Speaker 3: just normal, everyday life, And you could have too many

127
00:05:34,313 --> 00:05:41,794
Speaker 3: anchor pieces. So it's like those standout pieces that you do. Yeah,

128
00:05:42,073 --> 00:05:45,113
Speaker 3: but you know, do you have your actual basics in order?

129
00:05:45,234 --> 00:05:49,234
Speaker 3: Your ginger T shirts, your middi dressing, your scots, your shots,

130
00:05:49,393 --> 00:05:53,314
Speaker 3: anything like that, So we get overwhelmed by that. We

131
00:05:53,674 --> 00:05:59,474
Speaker 3: also shop like constantly via Instagram and talk and things

132
00:05:59,513 --> 00:06:02,034
Speaker 3: like that, so we have impulse buying, but we might

133
00:06:02,113 --> 00:06:04,674
Speaker 3: not be thinking twice about our purses.

134
00:06:04,834 --> 00:06:06,634
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. You do it before you can even really

135
00:06:06,674 --> 00:06:09,234
Speaker 1: consider it. Sometimes even half an hour goes by if

136
00:06:09,234 --> 00:06:10,753
Speaker 1: I haven't brought it, I'm like, oh no, I don't

137
00:06:10,753 --> 00:06:11,794
Speaker 1: need that. Oh my god.

138
00:06:11,834 --> 00:06:13,514
Speaker 3: Yeah, It's like I always said that gonna have a

139
00:06:13,513 --> 00:06:15,833
Speaker 3: cup of tea or a coffin and can I think

140
00:06:15,873 --> 00:06:18,153
Speaker 3: about it? But yeah, we're buying for that kind of

141
00:06:18,154 --> 00:06:23,354
Speaker 3: fantasy self rather than our artual, everyday lifestyle.

142
00:06:23,393 --> 00:06:26,953
Speaker 1: And you know true, So we're being conditioned to think

143
00:06:26,993 --> 00:06:31,234
Speaker 1: we need to buy something for every occasion. Why does

144
00:06:31,274 --> 00:06:32,833
Speaker 1: that make us harder? I mean, I get it hard

145
00:06:32,873 --> 00:06:35,593
Speaker 1: I guess you just answered that is that I think

146
00:06:36,393 --> 00:06:38,314
Speaker 1: it's harder to get dressed because we both have a

147
00:06:38,354 --> 00:06:40,193
Speaker 1: white T shirt. But shopping for a white T shirt

148
00:06:40,274 --> 00:06:41,954
Speaker 1: isn't particularly exciting.

149
00:06:42,553 --> 00:06:43,874
Speaker 2: No, it's not. That's the thing.

150
00:06:43,914 --> 00:06:49,034
Speaker 3: It's like we get We get excited by the glamour items.

151
00:06:49,953 --> 00:06:51,154
Speaker 2: Why every day life are we?

152
00:06:51,513 --> 00:06:54,834
Speaker 3: Are we wearing those tea But I love to I

153
00:06:54,914 --> 00:06:58,674
Speaker 3: spend my money and I love to ard accessories. A

154
00:06:58,714 --> 00:07:02,193
Speaker 3: don'tase colored shoe at a humbug. That's where I get

155
00:07:02,234 --> 00:07:04,914
Speaker 3: my excitement. So I could wear a black jeans, black

156
00:07:04,953 --> 00:07:07,393
Speaker 3: T shirt, white T shirt, but then I could a

157
00:07:07,393 --> 00:07:08,113
Speaker 3: red shoe or.

158
00:07:09,714 --> 00:07:12,033
Speaker 1: On YouTube, and I love it. It's a poper color.

159
00:07:12,634 --> 00:07:15,114
Speaker 1: The rest of it, it's boring, it's really thought out.

160
00:07:15,114 --> 00:07:18,074
Speaker 3: Now, that's where I get my kind of texture and

161
00:07:18,234 --> 00:07:20,674
Speaker 3: interest and excitement pieces from.

162
00:07:20,794 --> 00:07:23,714
Speaker 1: Yes, that's clever. Get your thrills there. Yeah, so talk

163
00:07:23,754 --> 00:07:25,434
Speaker 1: to me again and a bit more in depth with

164
00:07:25,474 --> 00:07:28,514
Speaker 1: your personal journey with this. So you've been me or

165
00:07:28,554 --> 00:07:30,953
Speaker 1: everyone else where they've got maybe a bunch of clothes

166
00:07:31,034 --> 00:07:32,593
Speaker 1: might be the same amount as you, but they're not

167
00:07:32,634 --> 00:07:34,593
Speaker 1: wearing them all. How did you get to the point

168
00:07:34,594 --> 00:07:36,833
Speaker 1: where you went, hang on, I don't go to the

169
00:07:36,874 --> 00:07:37,834
Speaker 1: oscars every week.

170
00:07:39,554 --> 00:07:41,954
Speaker 3: I think it was from my top Shop days when

171
00:07:41,953 --> 00:07:43,914
Speaker 3: I used to work and head office top Shop as

172
00:07:43,953 --> 00:07:48,834
Speaker 3: a international buyer. I was noticing that I was constantly

173
00:07:48,874 --> 00:07:52,154
Speaker 3: being fed because I was in that environment where the

174
00:07:52,194 --> 00:07:54,393
Speaker 3: trends are going to be you know, it's going to

175
00:07:54,393 --> 00:07:57,234
Speaker 3: be new and the trends and sex Man's team, and I.

176
00:07:57,274 --> 00:07:59,793
Speaker 1: Was pre you know, the on thought of social media

177
00:07:59,834 --> 00:08:01,953
Speaker 1: where I think the everyday person now gets fed all that.

178
00:08:01,994 --> 00:08:03,554
Speaker 1: But you were kind of like an insider.

179
00:08:04,034 --> 00:08:06,034
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, so I knew it was going to be

180
00:08:06,074 --> 00:08:07,914
Speaker 3: in top Shop and like sex my So I was

181
00:08:07,914 --> 00:08:11,994
Speaker 3: constantly being fed that information. But then when I looked around,

182
00:08:12,034 --> 00:08:14,314
Speaker 3: so I was that person who was like, Okay, you're

183
00:08:14,354 --> 00:08:16,273
Speaker 3: telling me that I need to be dressed in seventies

184
00:08:16,274 --> 00:08:18,474
Speaker 3: head to toe. Yes, then I'm going to be dressing

185
00:08:18,514 --> 00:08:19,474
Speaker 3: seventies head to toe.

186
00:08:19,554 --> 00:08:23,074
Speaker 1: I love it. Got at your job, but it was just.

187
00:08:23,714 --> 00:08:27,554
Speaker 3: Constant, and I was exhausted by that, chasing the trends

188
00:08:27,674 --> 00:08:31,994
Speaker 3: or trying to, you know, be that trendy person. But

189
00:08:32,034 --> 00:08:36,914
Speaker 3: then when I looked around, the women who looked confiding

190
00:08:37,314 --> 00:08:41,714
Speaker 3: and stylish were the ones that weren't buying everything every

191
00:08:41,794 --> 00:08:43,594
Speaker 3: trend cycle, every season.

192
00:08:43,674 --> 00:08:45,674
Speaker 2: They were the ones that looked.

193
00:08:45,394 --> 00:08:48,714
Speaker 3: Put together, and they were repeating outfits, and then we were

194
00:08:48,674 --> 00:08:52,234
Speaker 3: repeating style and their styles, and they just looked absolutely

195
00:08:52,274 --> 00:08:56,954
Speaker 3: incredibly they knew who they were, they had personal style,

196
00:08:57,594 --> 00:08:59,834
Speaker 3: and that, you know, I was we were working with

197
00:08:59,874 --> 00:09:02,634
Speaker 3: the best buyers, we were working with the best designers,

198
00:09:02,754 --> 00:09:04,514
Speaker 3: and they were going to tell you what the next

199
00:09:04,554 --> 00:09:05,514
Speaker 3: big trends were.

200
00:09:05,674 --> 00:09:06,834
Speaker 2: But when I looked.

201
00:09:06,514 --> 00:09:12,914
Speaker 3: Around, these people themselves actually hud their own personal style

202
00:09:12,994 --> 00:09:17,874
Speaker 3: figured so they were chasing those new and items all

203
00:09:17,914 --> 00:09:20,754
Speaker 3: the time. They knew exactly who they were. So that

204
00:09:20,954 --> 00:09:24,914
Speaker 3: kind of kind of was like got my brain kind

205
00:09:24,914 --> 00:09:28,514
Speaker 3: of going. And then I actually worked on the Australian

206
00:09:28,594 --> 00:09:31,114
Speaker 3: market when I worked for Top Shops, so I would

207
00:09:31,154 --> 00:09:34,634
Speaker 3: come here and I'd visit, and I loved that most

208
00:09:34,674 --> 00:09:37,833
Speaker 3: of the kind of the retailers and the brands were

209
00:09:37,954 --> 00:09:41,874
Speaker 3: very minimal, very like black and white, no fuss. So

210
00:09:41,994 --> 00:09:47,354
Speaker 3: I lived and breathed these brands like for probably about

211
00:09:47,354 --> 00:09:50,314
Speaker 3: four years. So that and then then and then the

212
00:09:50,354 --> 00:09:53,594
Speaker 3: next major thing was having kids. Yeah, oh that changes everything.

213
00:09:53,714 --> 00:09:56,194
Speaker 3: That just changes your whole life. But also yes, yes,

214
00:09:56,514 --> 00:09:58,354
Speaker 3: well you don't have time to be like I used to,

215
00:09:58,394 --> 00:10:00,634
Speaker 3: like lay my clothes out, try it all on the

216
00:10:00,714 --> 00:10:01,274
Speaker 3: night before.

217
00:10:01,314 --> 00:10:02,234
Speaker 2: You don't have time for that.

218
00:10:03,074 --> 00:10:04,234
Speaker 1: I do it in my head and then I got

219
00:10:04,274 --> 00:10:04,594
Speaker 1: to put it.

220
00:10:06,194 --> 00:10:07,714
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, it's interesting you.

221
00:10:07,634 --> 00:10:09,154
Speaker 1: Say that about the AUSSI market. I think because we

222
00:10:09,194 --> 00:10:11,874
Speaker 1: have such a small population in relation to a lot

223
00:10:11,874 --> 00:10:15,874
Speaker 1: of the you know, overseas markets, our retailers and brands

224
00:10:15,874 --> 00:10:18,114
Speaker 1: don't take as many risks because they just can't make

225
00:10:18,154 --> 00:10:20,434
Speaker 1: that many styles and then sell that many skews. So

226
00:10:20,794 --> 00:10:23,394
Speaker 1: we have a limited choice. But I think that's almost

227
00:10:23,594 --> 00:10:25,834
Speaker 1: easier for us. I mean now we shop like like

228
00:10:25,874 --> 00:10:29,474
Speaker 1: you say, Instagram and every website, chips everywhere. Yes, but

229
00:10:29,554 --> 00:10:32,274
Speaker 1: it's opened up more choice, which is more confusing. Yes,

230
00:10:41,354 --> 00:10:45,114
Speaker 1: so we're talking about styling, not shopping, so feeling good

231
00:10:45,154 --> 00:10:47,833
Speaker 1: in clothes that we're not buying new things. I mean

232
00:10:47,834 --> 00:10:50,954
Speaker 1: that's pretty self explanatory, but can you elaborate on what

233
00:10:50,954 --> 00:10:53,234
Speaker 1: we mean by that. You know, the average person probably

234
00:10:53,234 --> 00:10:55,154
Speaker 1: doesn't think so much about styling. They know what a

235
00:10:55,194 --> 00:10:58,234
Speaker 1: stylist is, but they just put their goes on and go. Yeah.

236
00:10:58,434 --> 00:11:00,994
Speaker 1: So what is styling when it comes to you know

237
00:11:01,074 --> 00:11:03,194
Speaker 1: us every day women that are in our wardrobes.

238
00:11:02,754 --> 00:11:04,714
Speaker 3: In the morning a lot of the time when I

239
00:11:04,754 --> 00:11:06,874
Speaker 3: am speaking to my clients and every then it's like

240
00:11:06,914 --> 00:11:10,074
Speaker 3: the have the they'll have their options in the wardrobe

241
00:11:10,194 --> 00:11:13,354
Speaker 3: is just how to pay them together. It's about you know,

242
00:11:13,434 --> 00:11:18,034
Speaker 3: that contrast of baggie and slim and you know, structured

243
00:11:18,154 --> 00:11:23,074
Speaker 3: and relax. It's about balance and proportion as well.

244
00:11:23,474 --> 00:11:24,114
Speaker 2: A lot of.

245
00:11:24,034 --> 00:11:27,794
Speaker 3: People, you know, you know, body type is Dressing for

246
00:11:27,834 --> 00:11:31,514
Speaker 3: your body type is like maybe a bit people believe

247
00:11:31,514 --> 00:11:35,314
Speaker 3: in it, people don't. But I think knowledge is key

248
00:11:35,434 --> 00:11:38,714
Speaker 3: in that department when it comes to your body type.

249
00:11:38,834 --> 00:11:40,314
Speaker 2: You might not dress.

250
00:11:40,114 --> 00:11:45,074
Speaker 3: Exactly like these types, but understanding what suits you and

251
00:11:45,594 --> 00:11:49,314
Speaker 3: your body in terms of balance and proportion is really

252
00:11:49,474 --> 00:11:50,114
Speaker 3: really key.

253
00:11:50,194 --> 00:11:52,594
Speaker 1: You feel good. I think you feel good. You can

254
00:11:52,634 --> 00:11:55,754
Speaker 1: go okay, oh I do like Eyeline and maybe yeah

255
00:11:56,114 --> 00:11:57,994
Speaker 1: just as good. It's because it gives me this shape.

256
00:11:58,114 --> 00:12:01,194
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's understanding and a lot of people don't understand that.

257
00:12:01,314 --> 00:12:03,634
Speaker 3: I always say to my clients, it's like, it's like

258
00:12:03,714 --> 00:12:04,714
Speaker 3: dressing a bedroom.

259
00:12:04,834 --> 00:12:06,754
Speaker 2: You know, you don't put all your furniture at the

260
00:12:06,794 --> 00:12:09,634
Speaker 2: ones side. You know, you've got to balance it.

261
00:12:09,634 --> 00:12:11,194
Speaker 1: All out right, analogy.

262
00:12:11,314 --> 00:12:14,914
Speaker 3: Yeah, And because people know how to dress a bedroom amazingly.

263
00:12:14,994 --> 00:12:17,154
Speaker 2: You've got your bed in the center, You've.

264
00:12:16,954 --> 00:12:20,354
Speaker 3: Got your two bedside tables, You've got your lamps, but

265
00:12:20,434 --> 00:12:22,634
Speaker 3: your lamps, you know, they have to be in proportion

266
00:12:22,994 --> 00:12:23,994
Speaker 3: with your bedside.

267
00:12:24,034 --> 00:12:26,274
Speaker 2: You don't have this. So it's kind of like that

268
00:12:26,314 --> 00:12:27,474
Speaker 2: when you're dressing your body.

269
00:12:27,514 --> 00:12:30,114
Speaker 3: So the more you understand about your body, it's not

270
00:12:30,194 --> 00:12:33,874
Speaker 3: restriction when it comes to body tight it's just understanding

271
00:12:33,914 --> 00:12:34,874
Speaker 3: it and the proportion.

272
00:12:35,274 --> 00:12:35,474
Speaker 2: Yeah.

273
00:12:36,074 --> 00:12:37,394
Speaker 1: You know, if you look at the items you wear

274
00:12:37,434 --> 00:12:39,914
Speaker 1: a lot, like you're ten percent, you know, ninety percent

275
00:12:39,954 --> 00:12:41,714
Speaker 1: of the time, it's probably like, Okay, well those do

276
00:12:41,954 --> 00:12:44,154
Speaker 1: fit my proportions because I feel great in them. Yeah,

277
00:12:44,234 --> 00:12:45,354
Speaker 1: therefore I can start there.

278
00:12:45,714 --> 00:12:47,834
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then it's just kind of mixing and match

279
00:12:47,874 --> 00:12:49,874
Speaker 3: and with that. So it's like if I'm wearing I'm

280
00:12:49,874 --> 00:12:52,474
Speaker 3: wearing baggy jeans, I'm going to wear a slim a

281
00:12:52,514 --> 00:12:54,634
Speaker 3: slim T shirt with that and It's like if I

282
00:12:54,994 --> 00:12:57,954
Speaker 3: was going to wear an oversized blazer, but the oversized

283
00:12:57,954 --> 00:13:01,394
Speaker 3: blazer and the oversized jeans just looked too too much

284
00:13:01,394 --> 00:13:02,954
Speaker 3: for my proportion and petite.

285
00:13:02,954 --> 00:13:05,194
Speaker 2: So I just need to watch that and balance it out. Yeah,

286
00:13:05,234 --> 00:13:06,194
Speaker 2: so a crop.

287
00:13:05,994 --> 00:13:10,034
Speaker 3: Jacket here, slammer jacket, you know, felt much better for

288
00:13:10,194 --> 00:13:13,234
Speaker 3: me in my petite frame. So it's just understanding that.

289
00:13:13,554 --> 00:13:16,434
Speaker 3: And then it's those little style in details like pulling

290
00:13:16,474 --> 00:13:17,274
Speaker 3: the sleeves.

291
00:13:16,954 --> 00:13:21,434
Speaker 1: Off, yes, rolling the sleeves, yeah, to do that in general?

292
00:13:21,514 --> 00:13:23,274
Speaker 1: Do you think I really know? How?

293
00:13:23,674 --> 00:13:25,394
Speaker 2: I think it is a bit of a nuisance.

294
00:13:25,394 --> 00:13:28,674
Speaker 3: And that's where I'm like, if I hope to manage Yeah,

295
00:13:28,874 --> 00:13:31,594
Speaker 3: I kind of say to my clients like I am like,

296
00:13:31,834 --> 00:13:35,114
Speaker 3: I don't like to manage my clothes. You know, they

297
00:13:35,154 --> 00:13:38,154
Speaker 3: should work for me or the other way around. But

298
00:13:38,234 --> 00:13:41,354
Speaker 3: like even just texture, like find a different textures. Find

299
00:13:41,674 --> 00:13:45,554
Speaker 3: this is quite like a casual element, you know, but

300
00:13:45,754 --> 00:13:48,354
Speaker 3: with a studied bell, it's just kind of finding that

301
00:13:48,474 --> 00:13:52,234
Speaker 3: anchor piece. Okay, baggage and slim t shirt, you know,

302
00:13:52,434 --> 00:13:57,514
Speaker 3: crop jacket, studied bell, it's mexical march in your wardrobe.

303
00:13:57,714 --> 00:13:59,794
Speaker 1: Does that make to people generally that you come across

304
00:13:59,914 --> 00:14:01,514
Speaker 1: you know, have they have the great pieces, but it's

305
00:14:01,554 --> 00:14:03,834
Speaker 1: the putting the whole thing together. Is that the hardest part.

306
00:14:04,074 --> 00:14:05,554
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's really the hardest part.

307
00:14:05,594 --> 00:14:08,074
Speaker 3: And then it's the it's the little style in details

308
00:14:08,114 --> 00:14:10,274
Speaker 3: that people don't really kind of understand.

309
00:14:10,394 --> 00:14:11,914
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's.

310
00:14:13,074 --> 00:14:15,554
Speaker 1: Yeah, part of your job is to help people as

311
00:14:15,554 --> 00:14:17,914
Speaker 1: a stylist, but not necessarily shopping, as you said before,

312
00:14:17,954 --> 00:14:21,074
Speaker 1: which is really refreshing because I think people think personal stylists,

313
00:14:21,074 --> 00:14:22,754
Speaker 1: first thing, I have to be really rich, and secondly

314
00:14:22,754 --> 00:14:23,994
Speaker 1: I have to go and buy a lot of stuff.

315
00:14:24,634 --> 00:14:27,474
Speaker 1: So what do you see when you come across a

316
00:14:27,514 --> 00:14:30,474
Speaker 1: new client. Is it that they really, like we said before,

317
00:14:31,114 --> 00:14:33,714
Speaker 1: just have shopped or have their clothes pre existing from

318
00:14:33,714 --> 00:14:37,194
Speaker 1: a previous life. Duplicates? I know my duplicate problem is

319
00:14:37,194 --> 00:14:39,954
Speaker 1: that I really love denim shirts, white T shirts, jeans,

320
00:14:40,074 --> 00:14:42,714
Speaker 1: and I don't need anymore. But I just they talk

321
00:14:42,834 --> 00:14:44,714
Speaker 1: to me, they say I love you, and I say

322
00:14:44,754 --> 00:14:46,234
Speaker 1: I love you too, and I take it home and

323
00:14:46,274 --> 00:14:48,274
Speaker 1: then it joins an orgy with all the other shirts.

324
00:14:48,834 --> 00:14:51,754
Speaker 1: So like, is that just me?

325
00:14:52,954 --> 00:14:56,834
Speaker 3: Duplicates are massive with my clients, and you know before

326
00:14:56,834 --> 00:14:59,074
Speaker 3: what I started my John the in terms of minimalism

327
00:14:59,154 --> 00:15:01,874
Speaker 3: and things like that. Duplicates were massive for me. I

328
00:15:01,914 --> 00:15:04,394
Speaker 3: think I came to like fifteen pairs of blat jeans

329
00:15:04,434 --> 00:15:04,794
Speaker 3: and I was.

330
00:15:04,754 --> 00:15:08,234
Speaker 1: Like, good, okay, but I'm glad that it's it's ridiculous.

331
00:15:08,314 --> 00:15:09,234
Speaker 2: Yeah, it does happen.

332
00:15:09,354 --> 00:15:12,034
Speaker 3: So that's one thing I say when people when I'm

333
00:15:12,154 --> 00:15:14,714
Speaker 3: editing wardrobes or when I'm editing my own wardrobe, look

334
00:15:14,714 --> 00:15:15,554
Speaker 3: at your duplicates.

335
00:15:15,554 --> 00:15:17,554
Speaker 2: How many black jeans do you actually need?

336
00:15:18,074 --> 00:15:20,474
Speaker 3: You know? And I always say to my clients like,

337
00:15:20,594 --> 00:15:23,714
Speaker 3: if you were to reach for your favorite black jeans,

338
00:15:23,754 --> 00:15:25,994
Speaker 3: if you were going to I don't know, a meeting,

339
00:15:26,074 --> 00:15:27,194
Speaker 3: an event, and.

340
00:15:27,074 --> 00:15:28,754
Speaker 1: You've added to a black jean party and you have

341
00:15:28,794 --> 00:15:29,954
Speaker 1: to wear your very very.

342
00:15:31,634 --> 00:15:33,714
Speaker 3: Or your favorite whatever the item.

343
00:15:34,154 --> 00:15:38,354
Speaker 2: Yes, your your black blazer party. What are you going

344
00:15:38,394 --> 00:15:40,794
Speaker 2: to with black blazer? Are you going to reach for? Yes?

345
00:15:40,914 --> 00:15:43,874
Speaker 2: And great? But it's then why you know reaching for

346
00:15:43,914 --> 00:15:44,394
Speaker 2: the other one?

347
00:15:44,474 --> 00:15:47,474
Speaker 3: Yes, you know it could be fabric composition, you know,

348
00:15:47,594 --> 00:15:50,434
Speaker 3: so it just doesn't feel right in terms of netwear.

349
00:15:50,114 --> 00:15:50,994
Speaker 2: That does it etch?

350
00:15:51,114 --> 00:15:52,874
Speaker 1: You know? Yes, Oh my god, I've got so much

351
00:15:52,954 --> 00:15:55,274
Speaker 1: itching ittwear. But it was not shape. So then I

352
00:15:55,354 --> 00:15:57,674
Speaker 1: just keep it. Exactly when when I don't get itchy.

353
00:15:57,794 --> 00:16:02,514
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, well in that for me, I sell, I sell, sell, sell,

354
00:16:02,594 --> 00:16:05,674
Speaker 3: and then I replace, you know, with the money that.

355
00:16:05,634 --> 00:16:08,354
Speaker 1: I've made, you know, and like I guess, you know,

356
00:16:08,434 --> 00:16:10,394
Speaker 1: say back to the black jeans. That's your thing or

357
00:16:10,394 --> 00:16:13,234
Speaker 1: that's someone's things. So you can have a couple of pairs, sir,

358
00:16:13,314 --> 00:16:15,714
Speaker 1: but you don't eat yeah, twenty Also that probably is

359
00:16:15,754 --> 00:16:17,514
Speaker 1: part of the problem. It's definitely part of mine, because

360
00:16:17,554 --> 00:16:21,234
Speaker 1: I just haven't nailed my like literal physical storage unless

361
00:16:21,274 --> 00:16:24,074
Speaker 1: I'm so in love with it that it's always on rotation.

362
00:16:24,194 --> 00:16:25,874
Speaker 1: If I can't say that I've got it, I just forget.

363
00:16:26,194 --> 00:16:28,554
Speaker 1: I have time to plan my outfits as much as

364
00:16:28,554 --> 00:16:30,154
Speaker 1: I used to, and so I just go into my

365
00:16:30,194 --> 00:16:33,274
Speaker 1: wardrobe and I go black jeans. Great, there's four pairs,

366
00:16:33,274 --> 00:16:36,154
Speaker 1: but I've got another four pairs somewhere, and there might

367
00:16:36,194 --> 00:16:38,354
Speaker 1: be a really great pair there that I just haven't

368
00:16:38,354 --> 00:16:40,754
Speaker 1: stored the right. So do people, you know, struggle with that.

369
00:16:40,994 --> 00:16:43,634
Speaker 2: Yeah, So it's kind of like, say, a main thing,

370
00:16:43,754 --> 00:16:46,554
Speaker 2: isn't it. I always like your ginns, you know.

371
00:16:46,674 --> 00:16:49,834
Speaker 3: I always organized by cartoque, and when I go into

372
00:16:49,834 --> 00:16:52,434
Speaker 3: people's wardrobes as well, that's what we do.

373
00:16:52,234 --> 00:16:53,994
Speaker 2: We do it by cartogue, by collar.

374
00:16:54,154 --> 00:16:56,434
Speaker 3: So if you are looking for thoorse I don't know

375
00:16:56,554 --> 00:16:59,114
Speaker 3: red trosals, You're gonna go to.

376
00:16:58,154 --> 00:17:00,114
Speaker 1: The red Houser section.

377
00:17:00,314 --> 00:17:00,674
Speaker 2: Yes.

378
00:17:00,834 --> 00:17:03,634
Speaker 3: And then as a mart of editing, So when I

379
00:17:03,674 --> 00:17:06,313
Speaker 3: go into people's wardrobes, I know their body sheep, I

380
00:17:06,354 --> 00:17:09,394
Speaker 3: know their color, would colors suit them? Color analysis, and

381
00:17:09,434 --> 00:17:12,834
Speaker 3: then I'll go into their wardrobe and we can eliminate

382
00:17:12,874 --> 00:17:16,074
Speaker 3: anything that does not suit their body shape, doesn't suit

383
00:17:16,074 --> 00:17:18,314
Speaker 3: their coloring, if they are comfortable with that.

384
00:17:18,914 --> 00:17:20,354
Speaker 2: And then you know.

385
00:17:20,354 --> 00:17:24,274
Speaker 3: I look for is are too much statement pieces and

386
00:17:24,434 --> 00:17:26,834
Speaker 3: you don't have anything to balance it out with? Is

387
00:17:26,874 --> 00:17:30,354
Speaker 3: are too much slouchy and you don't have any structured Therefore,

388
00:17:30,554 --> 00:17:33,914
Speaker 3: you know things like that I'm looking before, and the

389
00:17:33,954 --> 00:17:36,634
Speaker 3: gaps in their wardrobe. I also tell them to put

390
00:17:36,714 --> 00:17:41,874
Speaker 3: like a whale together of their ten favorite pieces, their

391
00:17:41,994 --> 00:17:46,994
Speaker 3: most warm pieces. That's your style, that's your everyday life.

392
00:17:47,474 --> 00:17:50,874
Speaker 3: Oh wow, that's who you are. You could then upgrade

393
00:17:50,914 --> 00:17:53,914
Speaker 3: it you as in, I wear that, but there's a

394
00:17:53,914 --> 00:17:54,434
Speaker 3: hole in.

395
00:17:54,314 --> 00:17:56,194
Speaker 1: It, Yes, okay, find a new one.

396
00:17:56,274 --> 00:17:58,833
Speaker 3: Yeah, and like buy into that, like's invest in it.

397
00:17:59,314 --> 00:18:01,674
Speaker 3: Then I also get them to maybe pull ten pieces

398
00:18:01,714 --> 00:18:03,874
Speaker 3: that they really struggle with and then we go through

399
00:18:03,914 --> 00:18:08,394
Speaker 3: that process. It could be coloring, it could be like

400
00:18:08,594 --> 00:18:10,554
Speaker 3: proportion wise, it doesn't work them.

401
00:18:10,434 --> 00:18:12,074
Speaker 1: You know, it might be worth keeping, but you'll show

402
00:18:12,074 --> 00:18:13,553
Speaker 1: them how to put it with the top or the.

403
00:18:13,554 --> 00:18:16,114
Speaker 3: Bottom, and that's the styling thing. Yeah, and then that's

404
00:18:16,114 --> 00:18:17,593
Speaker 3: when we can come up with different eight. Yeah, it's

405
00:18:17,594 --> 00:18:18,594
Speaker 3: a different formulas.

406
00:18:18,674 --> 00:18:20,714
Speaker 1: Yes, I feel like back to the styling thing. I

407
00:18:20,754 --> 00:18:22,754
Speaker 1: think I've got a lot of friends who obviously don't

408
00:18:22,754 --> 00:18:24,634
Speaker 1: work in this industry, you know, the doctors or lawyers,

409
00:18:24,634 --> 00:18:26,834
Speaker 1: and in their head they go that top goes with

410
00:18:26,914 --> 00:18:29,234
Speaker 1: that bottom like to like to go, oh, that could

411
00:18:29,274 --> 00:18:30,994
Speaker 1: go with that. They're like, oh, but it doesn't like

412
00:18:31,034 --> 00:18:32,714
Speaker 1: I didn't buy them together or I didn't buy them

413
00:18:32,714 --> 00:18:34,674
Speaker 1: at the same time, I've never thought of Yes, but

414
00:18:34,874 --> 00:18:38,394
Speaker 1: sometimes the most you know, unexpected or wonderful outfits of

415
00:18:38,474 --> 00:18:40,954
Speaker 1: things you already own just not tried together yet.

416
00:18:41,114 --> 00:18:43,314
Speaker 2: Yeah. So it's just really pleaying with your wardrobe.

417
00:18:43,434 --> 00:18:45,154
Speaker 3: But it's not having too much on there because then

418
00:18:45,194 --> 00:18:46,314
Speaker 3: it's like going to a restaurant.

419
00:18:46,354 --> 00:18:46,793
Speaker 2: It's too much.

420
00:18:47,034 --> 00:18:48,394
Speaker 1: I got to hate it.

421
00:18:48,394 --> 00:18:50,794
Speaker 2: It's like, just give me. I just stopped five.

422
00:18:50,954 --> 00:18:53,194
Speaker 1: I follow my instinct and if I don't I order

423
00:18:53,234 --> 00:18:55,194
Speaker 1: the first thing that you know caught my eye. Otherwise

424
00:18:55,234 --> 00:18:57,514
Speaker 1: if I keep looking, then I get regret. Then yeah,

425
00:18:57,674 --> 00:18:59,474
Speaker 1: or you go to the thing that you like, you

426
00:18:59,474 --> 00:19:00,793
Speaker 1: know what I mean? Yeah, well I do. I go

427
00:19:00,834 --> 00:19:03,914
Speaker 1: see the sulib A chip and I don't always want that,

428
00:19:03,954 --> 00:19:04,314
Speaker 1: but I go.

429
00:19:04,514 --> 00:19:06,833
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just too much confusion. True, it's just too

430
00:19:06,914 --> 00:19:08,313
Speaker 2: much confusiologies.

431
00:19:08,474 --> 00:19:11,674
Speaker 1: Okay, So you're helping me with one of your sessions,

432
00:19:11,674 --> 00:19:13,874
Speaker 1: and I pull out five things that I haven't worn

433
00:19:13,954 --> 00:19:16,714
Speaker 1: in a year, but I am hesitant to let go

434
00:19:16,754 --> 00:19:19,554
Speaker 1: of maybe it's no not maybe that they're expensive. I

435
00:19:19,634 --> 00:19:21,074
Speaker 1: really like them, but I don't know what to do.

436
00:19:21,314 --> 00:19:23,593
Speaker 1: How do you help me there? Before I have to

437
00:19:23,674 --> 00:19:25,954
Speaker 1: sell or donate, not have to You wouldn't force me,

438
00:19:25,994 --> 00:19:30,154
Speaker 1: but you know, before the donate discussion is raised? Yes,

439
00:19:30,234 --> 00:19:31,874
Speaker 1: what do we do with pieces that we love but

440
00:19:31,994 --> 00:19:32,954
Speaker 1: don't know how to wear?

441
00:19:33,434 --> 00:19:33,714
Speaker 2: Okay?

442
00:19:33,714 --> 00:19:37,474
Speaker 3: So then falsely, we're going to see if proportions, you know,

443
00:19:37,634 --> 00:19:41,394
Speaker 3: so ifc as I don't know a red blazer, red

444
00:19:41,434 --> 00:19:43,833
Speaker 3: boxy blazer, you know, then we're going to look at

445
00:19:43,834 --> 00:19:47,074
Speaker 3: your wardrobe. Maybe those ten items that I've said previously

446
00:19:47,114 --> 00:19:49,994
Speaker 3: that you constantly wear, Yes, we can maxim march Bark

447
00:19:50,034 --> 00:19:50,954
Speaker 3: with that, yes, you know.

448
00:19:51,634 --> 00:19:52,594
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.

449
00:19:52,674 --> 00:19:56,074
Speaker 3: So whenever I buy like a trend piece, which is

450
00:19:56,194 --> 00:19:58,874
Speaker 3: very really but I may do it, I march at

451
00:19:58,914 --> 00:20:02,114
Speaker 3: Bark with my basics because I'm comfortable in my basics

452
00:20:02,634 --> 00:20:04,674
Speaker 3: and that trend piece may be about load for me.

453
00:20:04,834 --> 00:20:05,074
Speaker 1: Sure.

454
00:20:05,154 --> 00:20:07,394
Speaker 3: The way that I can get around at yeah is

455
00:20:07,514 --> 00:20:09,034
Speaker 3: muching at bart with my basics.

456
00:20:09,034 --> 00:20:11,114
Speaker 1: So you which makes it then your personal style?

457
00:20:11,314 --> 00:20:13,754
Speaker 3: Yes, and it makes it more comfortable. It's like it's

458
00:20:13,754 --> 00:20:15,794
Speaker 3: not as loud as you know it does. You don't

459
00:20:15,834 --> 00:20:17,914
Speaker 3: have to have five trained pieces on it the same time.

460
00:20:17,954 --> 00:20:20,513
Speaker 3: It could just be one standout piece. That's why I

461
00:20:20,674 --> 00:20:24,074
Speaker 3: always say to my clients, choose one standout piece. So

462
00:20:24,154 --> 00:20:28,313
Speaker 3: that's real normally typically as stand out pieces that they

463
00:20:28,314 --> 00:20:32,914
Speaker 3: don't know how to stay right. So much about with

464
00:20:32,954 --> 00:20:35,674
Speaker 3: your basics. Make sure that you're getting those proportions right.

465
00:20:35,754 --> 00:20:39,274
Speaker 3: If it's slouchy, much about with something kind of like slim,

466
00:20:39,354 --> 00:20:42,394
Speaker 3: if it's structured, makes it back with something you know.

467
00:20:43,074 --> 00:20:46,273
Speaker 1: Structured, yes, kind of like the opposite in a way, yeah, yes,

468
00:20:46,554 --> 00:20:48,194
Speaker 1: And so that's if it's you know, it's still in

469
00:20:48,234 --> 00:20:50,154
Speaker 1: good condition and it fits them. If it's something that's

470
00:20:50,234 --> 00:20:52,234
Speaker 1: just you know, I'm going to get that thin again

471
00:20:52,354 --> 00:20:55,154
Speaker 1: or whatever. I think that's just taken out of the

472
00:20:55,154 --> 00:20:57,954
Speaker 1: equation because otherwise adding the confusion, and so I think

473
00:20:58,194 --> 00:21:00,513
Speaker 1: sometimes there's guilt there for the cost of the item

474
00:21:00,594 --> 00:21:02,274
Speaker 1: or whatever it may be, or that you're not who

475
00:21:02,274 --> 00:21:04,634
Speaker 1: you were before. Yeah, and that stuff's just never going

476
00:21:04,674 --> 00:21:05,154
Speaker 1: to get warm.

477
00:21:05,234 --> 00:21:06,154
Speaker 2: It's never going to get warm.

478
00:21:06,154 --> 00:21:09,354
Speaker 3: And if you deep down a lot of people know

479
00:21:09,594 --> 00:21:11,553
Speaker 3: deep down whether they're going to wear it or not.

480
00:21:11,714 --> 00:21:13,234
Speaker 2: It's how it makes you feel as well.

481
00:21:13,394 --> 00:21:15,513
Speaker 3: Yes, Like for me, I've got to feel comfortable and

482
00:21:15,554 --> 00:21:18,714
Speaker 3: I'm going to feel confident if it's like for instance,

483
00:21:18,874 --> 00:21:20,314
Speaker 3: I had a kind of a scar.

484
00:21:20,474 --> 00:21:22,394
Speaker 2: I love Meddy Scots, but it was a bit like

485
00:21:22,634 --> 00:21:23,954
Speaker 2: structured at the waistband.

486
00:21:24,354 --> 00:21:27,274
Speaker 3: Therefore, I was a bit conscious of my tommy now

487
00:21:27,354 --> 00:21:29,274
Speaker 3: standing in front of the mirror. I was like, oh, yeah,

488
00:21:29,274 --> 00:21:31,714
Speaker 3: it looks good. But when you're out every day life

489
00:21:31,914 --> 00:21:32,634
Speaker 3: and you eat.

490
00:21:34,394 --> 00:21:37,594
Speaker 1: Half the time. I get in the car, but I'm

491
00:21:37,594 --> 00:21:38,714
Speaker 1: wearing this all day.

492
00:21:38,794 --> 00:21:42,234
Speaker 3: And then you're just constantly like adjusting, and you know,

493
00:21:42,354 --> 00:21:44,273
Speaker 3: my bag was always in front of my tommy and

494
00:21:44,274 --> 00:21:45,234
Speaker 3: I that's it.

495
00:21:45,234 --> 00:21:48,314
Speaker 2: There's no more of that, yes, But then maybe get stuff.

496
00:21:48,034 --> 00:21:53,593
Speaker 3: All to like I'm constantly it yeah, or even like

497
00:21:53,754 --> 00:21:56,194
Speaker 3: I have a dress and I'm like, I'm never going

498
00:21:56,274 --> 00:21:59,353
Speaker 3: to wear that dress because it's quite strappy and I

499
00:21:59,394 --> 00:22:01,634
Speaker 3: have larger boobs I need, Brad, That's why did I

500
00:22:01,674 --> 00:22:04,074
Speaker 3: buy that dress in the first place. However, it would

501
00:22:04,074 --> 00:22:06,194
Speaker 3: look amazing as a scar you know, yeah, you know,

502
00:22:06,314 --> 00:22:09,754
Speaker 3: get and I look at shop it off, like those

503
00:22:09,834 --> 00:22:12,394
Speaker 3: trousers that are so long but you like the shape

504
00:22:12,394 --> 00:22:13,474
Speaker 3: of them, you know.

505
00:22:13,994 --> 00:22:14,594
Speaker 2: Chop them off.

506
00:22:14,634 --> 00:22:16,674
Speaker 3: If you get an old paid of trousers, can you

507
00:22:16,714 --> 00:22:17,954
Speaker 3: put them into a long shot?

508
00:22:18,154 --> 00:22:18,313
Speaker 1: You know?

509
00:22:18,434 --> 00:22:19,114
Speaker 2: Things like that?

510
00:22:19,394 --> 00:22:21,474
Speaker 1: My god, I can. I've got some white like pants

511
00:22:21,474 --> 00:22:24,394
Speaker 1: that I have never decided on a link, so they're

512
00:22:24,434 --> 00:22:26,033
Speaker 1: not good for flights, are not good for heels, but

513
00:22:26,234 --> 00:22:26,914
Speaker 1: oh my god.

514
00:22:27,114 --> 00:22:29,513
Speaker 3: And then if it's like right, no, it's a no,

515
00:22:29,794 --> 00:22:30,794
Speaker 3: just give it to somebody else.

516
00:22:30,874 --> 00:22:32,754
Speaker 2: They'll love it, yes, you know. And then with the

517
00:22:32,794 --> 00:22:35,594
Speaker 2: money potches something, and you may.

518
00:22:35,554 --> 00:22:37,474
Speaker 1: Get about it once it's gone to get thinks I

519
00:22:37,474 --> 00:22:39,194
Speaker 1: got all that jacket, was really expensed about wear it

520
00:22:39,194 --> 00:22:41,634
Speaker 1: this winter, and then I say it later and I go, oh, oh,

521
00:22:41,954 --> 00:22:45,794
Speaker 1: it's maybe next winter. But I'm letting the guilt override

522
00:22:45,554 --> 00:22:47,634
Speaker 1: the relief of moving it on.

523
00:22:47,834 --> 00:22:49,474
Speaker 3: Yes, it's kind of like when we spend money, we

524
00:22:49,514 --> 00:22:50,954
Speaker 3: don't think about it again doing.

525
00:22:50,954 --> 00:22:55,234
Speaker 1: No, Well, I see it in my wardrobe exactly, even

526
00:22:55,274 --> 00:22:55,914
Speaker 1: if you were wrong.

527
00:22:56,354 --> 00:22:57,434
Speaker 2: Yeah, just gip.

528
00:22:57,594 --> 00:23:00,754
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, it takes a whale. It really does

529
00:23:00,834 --> 00:23:03,234
Speaker 3: take a while to get into that kind of mindset.

530
00:23:03,554 --> 00:23:06,954
Speaker 3: I mean, I've I think as it's probably I started

531
00:23:06,954 --> 00:23:09,354
Speaker 3: it when my daughter was just born at seven.

532
00:23:09,434 --> 00:23:11,034
Speaker 2: That's when I can I create seven.

533
00:23:11,354 --> 00:23:14,553
Speaker 1: Yes, oh my son's about twenty seven, Okay, I can

534
00:23:14,634 --> 00:23:14,874
Speaker 1: do this.

535
00:23:14,994 --> 00:23:17,033
Speaker 2: He's gone on seventeen yeers.

536
00:23:17,914 --> 00:23:19,834
Speaker 3: But I was like very okay, So that's when I

537
00:23:19,874 --> 00:23:23,354
Speaker 3: really struck my wardrobe bark looked at those items that

538
00:23:23,434 --> 00:23:25,234
Speaker 3: I was you know, I.

539
00:23:25,154 --> 00:23:26,474
Speaker 2: Would create mood balls. Yeah.

540
00:23:26,554 --> 00:23:28,674
Speaker 3: I would be like, oh, there's the common denomine. And

541
00:23:28,674 --> 00:23:30,074
Speaker 3: I do love a black gean, I love a white

542
00:23:30,114 --> 00:23:32,634
Speaker 3: T shirt and love a blizzer. Look at them and

543
00:23:32,674 --> 00:23:36,634
Speaker 3: then it's then just can allow on them from your mistake.

544
00:23:36,914 --> 00:23:39,074
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, and taking a beat. I've got to learn

545
00:23:39,074 --> 00:23:40,234
Speaker 1: to take a beat, and I think a lot of

546
00:23:40,234 --> 00:23:42,714
Speaker 1: people do because you just like I was saying to

547
00:23:42,714 --> 00:23:44,714
Speaker 1: you off air, I love thrifting, but that's not whole

548
00:23:44,794 --> 00:23:46,834
Speaker 1: nother problem. You know, sure it's not fast fashion or

549
00:23:46,834 --> 00:23:48,914
Speaker 1: it might be first fashion, it's second time round. But

550
00:23:48,914 --> 00:23:51,234
Speaker 1: then I'm like, that's an amazing dentim shirt. Oh my god,

551
00:23:51,234 --> 00:23:52,754
Speaker 1: the price, oh my god, it's in such a good condition.

552
00:23:52,794 --> 00:23:54,594
Speaker 1: I'm like, well, I can't leave it. It feels like

553
00:23:54,634 --> 00:23:57,034
Speaker 1: a little orphan shirt that I you know, and I

554
00:23:57,074 --> 00:23:59,714
Speaker 1: think I don't need another one? Yes, And I think

555
00:24:00,114 --> 00:24:03,354
Speaker 1: just like now or ever, Yeah, I think the whole

556
00:24:03,474 --> 00:24:06,874
Speaker 1: pre loved is absolute amazing if you're looking for something, yes,

557
00:24:07,154 --> 00:24:09,314
Speaker 1: you desperately need, like you love it for like Disna

558
00:24:09,394 --> 00:24:12,234
Speaker 1: harmbugs and Diziner shoes and things, but more intentional than

559
00:24:12,314 --> 00:24:14,754
Speaker 1: just popping into your Viney's and seeing an amazing thing

560
00:24:14,834 --> 00:24:15,914
Speaker 1: but you don't really need it.

561
00:24:16,074 --> 00:24:18,754
Speaker 2: Yeah? Is it just again? Is it just their impulse?

562
00:24:18,834 --> 00:24:19,354
Speaker 2: Is it there is?

563
00:24:19,594 --> 00:24:22,154
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's just the best thing in Vinnie's, but it's

564
00:24:22,194 --> 00:24:23,994
Speaker 1: not the thing that you would buy.

565
00:24:24,034 --> 00:24:24,794
Speaker 2: Well exactly.

566
00:24:24,994 --> 00:24:27,674
Speaker 3: It's like, just because it's pre loved doesn't mean to

567
00:24:27,714 --> 00:24:29,394
Speaker 3: say that we actually.

568
00:24:29,034 --> 00:24:31,714
Speaker 1: Need it and let someone else love it pre loved.

569
00:24:31,594 --> 00:24:33,034
Speaker 2: Yea, yeah, so true?

570
00:24:33,074 --> 00:24:35,033
Speaker 3: Are you actually going to wear it? Or is just

571
00:24:35,354 --> 00:24:38,434
Speaker 3: it's pre loved just another fast fashion yeah.

572
00:24:38,314 --> 00:24:41,954
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, you're so right. Okay, so not everyone

573
00:24:42,154 --> 00:24:43,954
Speaker 1: can have a U well they can't actually, but you

574
00:24:43,994 --> 00:24:46,314
Speaker 1: know a lot of people after listening to this podcast

575
00:24:46,314 --> 00:24:49,154
Speaker 1: are sometimes inspired to shop. But we're not doing that now,

576
00:24:49,274 --> 00:24:51,874
Speaker 1: but to go into the world and go, right, what

577
00:24:52,074 --> 00:24:54,874
Speaker 1: is my problem? You know, maybe we've identified it is

578
00:24:54,954 --> 00:24:57,434
Speaker 1: impulse purchase or whatever, but we've got what we've got

579
00:24:57,474 --> 00:24:58,954
Speaker 1: in front of us that we're not wearing at all.

580
00:24:59,474 --> 00:25:02,874
Speaker 1: What can someone do this weekend or you know, in

581
00:25:02,914 --> 00:25:06,074
Speaker 1: the next few weeks days to start this process? Is

582
00:25:06,074 --> 00:25:07,954
Speaker 1: it literally put it in your on your unknees and

583
00:25:07,994 --> 00:25:10,274
Speaker 1: having a dress on session. Is it like playing dress

584
00:25:10,314 --> 00:25:11,074
Speaker 1: ups but you're the adult.

585
00:25:11,314 --> 00:25:11,674
Speaker 2: Yeah.

586
00:25:11,834 --> 00:25:14,874
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's basically getting into your wardrobe. As I teach

587
00:25:14,914 --> 00:25:16,354
Speaker 3: a lot of this on my Instagram account.

588
00:25:16,594 --> 00:25:18,914
Speaker 1: I love obsessed with your Instagram. I think it's the

589
00:25:18,914 --> 00:25:20,074
Speaker 1: best tape I've ever.

590
00:25:20,074 --> 00:25:23,914
Speaker 3: But I when I started this, John they I got

591
00:25:23,914 --> 00:25:26,754
Speaker 3: my whole wardrobe. I did a massive edit and I

592
00:25:26,834 --> 00:25:27,754
Speaker 3: was ruthless.

593
00:25:27,874 --> 00:25:30,553
Speaker 1: And did you try the Maybies? Did you try everything?

594
00:25:30,714 --> 00:25:32,234
Speaker 2: Yes? You know what you love?

595
00:25:32,434 --> 00:25:32,634
Speaker 1: Yes?

596
00:25:32,714 --> 00:25:34,594
Speaker 2: So you know what you love? That's fine.

597
00:25:34,674 --> 00:25:35,914
Speaker 1: Yeah, And if it's just come out of the wash,

598
00:25:35,954 --> 00:25:39,273
Speaker 1: it's probably likely that you love it and you wear it, yes, exactly, Yeah,

599
00:25:39,354 --> 00:25:42,714
Speaker 1: you know what you don't definitely, yeah, definitely. You know

600
00:25:42,794 --> 00:25:45,154
Speaker 1: what you don't like, it's probably the maybe's that you

601
00:25:45,314 --> 00:25:48,354
Speaker 1: have to get so stuck on the n yeah yeah yeah,

602
00:25:48,354 --> 00:25:51,034
Speaker 1: and then so I would maybe just concentrate on the

603
00:25:51,154 --> 00:25:54,553
Speaker 1: maybe and then what you don't like you can sell,

604
00:25:54,714 --> 00:25:56,754
Speaker 1: You can get read, give it to friends, have a

605
00:25:56,834 --> 00:25:59,434
Speaker 1: swap shot party. You've done that here at Mamame was

606
00:25:59,594 --> 00:26:00,794
Speaker 1: so good, doesn't it.

607
00:26:00,994 --> 00:26:01,514
Speaker 2: We've got one.

608
00:26:01,994 --> 00:26:03,994
Speaker 3: All the moms have got one scheduled soon as well,

609
00:26:04,074 --> 00:26:05,994
Speaker 3: so we're going to do that so that you it's

610
00:26:06,074 --> 00:26:11,354
Speaker 3: just that getting that except the shopping ye changing. Yeah yeah,

611
00:26:11,634 --> 00:26:14,914
Speaker 3: So but then it's probably the maybe's that you need

612
00:26:14,954 --> 00:26:15,554
Speaker 3: to then.

613
00:26:16,994 --> 00:26:20,154
Speaker 2: Yeah. Physically physically I hate it as well.

614
00:26:20,154 --> 00:26:22,794
Speaker 1: Oh good, okay, but I don't necessarily like it.

615
00:26:22,914 --> 00:26:25,354
Speaker 3: I really don't. But it's something like if you haven't

616
00:26:25,394 --> 00:26:29,114
Speaker 3: water in the last year, like check are you realistically

617
00:26:29,274 --> 00:26:31,074
Speaker 3: and like are you going to wear it?

618
00:26:31,514 --> 00:26:33,034
Speaker 1: You know, because you know when you have less time

619
00:26:33,114 --> 00:26:34,513
Speaker 1: is that morning when you want to wear it? But

620
00:26:34,594 --> 00:26:35,954
Speaker 1: you think, I've got to get out and those kids

621
00:26:35,954 --> 00:26:37,114
Speaker 1: are like for school, I've got to get it you're

622
00:26:37,114 --> 00:26:39,114
Speaker 1: not going to then try and try it on so

623
00:26:39,154 --> 00:26:41,114
Speaker 1: you think later but later it never come.

624
00:26:41,354 --> 00:26:41,714
Speaker 2: Yeah.

625
00:26:41,754 --> 00:26:45,434
Speaker 3: So what I would do is I would like really

626
00:26:45,834 --> 00:26:47,834
Speaker 3: devise my clients to be like, wait, okay, this is

627
00:26:47,874 --> 00:26:51,674
Speaker 3: your maybe pay and put it in your wardrobe with

628
00:26:51,834 --> 00:26:53,394
Speaker 3: the hunger face and.

629
00:26:53,194 --> 00:26:55,354
Speaker 1: You yes, I've heard of this, and then.

630
00:26:55,234 --> 00:26:58,273
Speaker 3: If you wear it, put it the other way and

631
00:26:58,274 --> 00:27:00,954
Speaker 3: then you're wearing it, you know, so you know that's

632
00:27:00,994 --> 00:27:04,034
Speaker 3: a agree And at the end of maybe give yourself

633
00:27:04,074 --> 00:27:04,793
Speaker 3: like a month.

634
00:27:05,074 --> 00:27:08,274
Speaker 2: If you've not worn it yet, yeah, then yeah, it's

635
00:27:08,354 --> 00:27:09,194
Speaker 2: like right, Okay.

636
00:27:09,394 --> 00:27:13,994
Speaker 3: Why I also say to clients is like, just really concentrate.

637
00:27:13,434 --> 00:27:14,914
Speaker 2: On what you were wearing day to day.

638
00:27:15,034 --> 00:27:17,274
Speaker 3: Yeah, and if you find you know what you love,

639
00:27:17,594 --> 00:27:20,674
Speaker 3: You've had the best day in this dress, then absolutely fantastic.

640
00:27:20,714 --> 00:27:22,594
Speaker 1: Yeah. I wear a dressed yesterday that was very dressed

641
00:27:22,674 --> 00:27:24,114
Speaker 1: up for me to go to the doctors and I

642
00:27:24,154 --> 00:27:26,474
Speaker 1: was working for my home my husband, Oh you look nice,

643
00:27:26,634 --> 00:27:28,194
Speaker 1: and then I just felt so good all day because

644
00:27:28,234 --> 00:27:30,194
Speaker 1: I finally wore something that wasn't yeah, and I was

645
00:27:30,234 --> 00:27:32,994
Speaker 1: like yeah, and that was in my byby part. It

646
00:27:33,034 --> 00:27:35,954
Speaker 1: was my baby test for the day, amazing, like test it.

647
00:27:35,994 --> 00:27:38,874
Speaker 2: But then you also know what doesn't work.

648
00:27:38,914 --> 00:27:42,594
Speaker 3: So if you wear something and you're like, note that down,

649
00:27:42,714 --> 00:27:44,874
Speaker 3: what you don't Why you didn't like it? Why was

650
00:27:44,914 --> 00:27:46,954
Speaker 3: it too tight? And you taught me, so you're constantly

651
00:27:46,994 --> 00:27:49,554
Speaker 3: like pulling things down like not that. I always say

652
00:27:49,554 --> 00:27:52,154
Speaker 3: to my clients, you know what you love? That's easy, Yeah,

653
00:27:52,234 --> 00:27:55,594
Speaker 3: it's what it's like the things that you're wearing all day.

654
00:27:55,714 --> 00:27:57,634
Speaker 3: And then you're like, I just didn't feel right and

655
00:27:57,674 --> 00:28:01,994
Speaker 3: that then analyze that outfit, analyze that pace rather than

656
00:28:02,034 --> 00:28:04,914
Speaker 3: analyzing the things. Yeah, and you know, we put the

657
00:28:04,994 --> 00:28:07,914
Speaker 3: money towards something amazing, just harmbag.

658
00:28:08,354 --> 00:28:09,354
Speaker 2: I always say that.

659
00:28:09,474 --> 00:28:12,834
Speaker 3: And then the more that you're you really want to

660
00:28:12,834 --> 00:28:15,273
Speaker 3: see those those ten pieces that I said put on

661
00:28:15,314 --> 00:28:17,474
Speaker 3: a rail, they need to be at the forefront of

662
00:28:17,514 --> 00:28:19,594
Speaker 3: your wardrobe so that you're wearing them all the time,

663
00:28:20,354 --> 00:28:24,674
Speaker 3: and then you will eventually have a wardrobe that you love.

664
00:28:25,994 --> 00:28:27,234
Speaker 1: All kind of goes together.

665
00:28:27,394 --> 00:28:29,754
Speaker 3: And I also say it's like, do not let anybody

666
00:28:29,794 --> 00:28:32,634
Speaker 3: in that wardrobe that you know, like a party or

667
00:28:32,674 --> 00:28:33,314
Speaker 3: let your wedding.

668
00:28:33,434 --> 00:28:35,594
Speaker 2: You're not going to invite everybody to this occasion.

669
00:28:36,994 --> 00:28:40,034
Speaker 1: Yes, you have to be like a strict door policy.

670
00:28:39,034 --> 00:28:39,714
Speaker 1: The news that.

671
00:28:42,554 --> 00:28:44,874
Speaker 3: I have a bound set at my wardrobe door all

672
00:28:44,914 --> 00:28:47,114
Speaker 3: the time. You're not getting in here, and I don't

673
00:28:47,194 --> 00:28:48,274
Speaker 3: like I.

674
00:28:50,594 --> 00:28:51,274
Speaker 2: Bit crush.

675
00:28:51,714 --> 00:28:54,474
Speaker 1: I'm really try. I've gotten better slowly, but I just

676
00:28:54,514 --> 00:28:56,634
Speaker 1: am so impatient that I want myself to be like you.

677
00:28:56,714 --> 00:28:58,634
Speaker 1: But it sometimes the process you can't rush.

678
00:28:59,434 --> 00:29:01,594
Speaker 2: Seven years I'm still at it, Yeah, seven yeals.

679
00:29:01,634 --> 00:29:04,594
Speaker 3: And I went into Zara just before this, and I

680
00:29:04,714 --> 00:29:06,674
Speaker 3: never really show up in Zara, but I was like,

681
00:29:06,674 --> 00:29:08,794
Speaker 3: I'm just going to have a look kind of thing,

682
00:29:09,074 --> 00:29:11,274
Speaker 3: fast thing. I seen cigarette jeans. I need a pit

683
00:29:11,314 --> 00:29:14,034
Speaker 3: of cigarette jeans. Tried them on in the dressing room

684
00:29:14,194 --> 00:29:17,354
Speaker 3: and it was like there were too long the one

685
00:29:17,434 --> 00:29:20,394
Speaker 3: set and just perfect. There were a med rise. I

686
00:29:20,434 --> 00:29:22,914
Speaker 3: don't go on with med rises. I was like, could

687
00:29:22,954 --> 00:29:25,074
Speaker 3: I just wear a longer time? And you kind of

688
00:29:25,194 --> 00:29:27,394
Speaker 3: stop persuading yourself. You do?

689
00:29:27,634 --> 00:29:28,194
Speaker 2: You really do?

690
00:29:28,274 --> 00:29:30,114
Speaker 1: And I was like, there's an element you like. But

691
00:29:30,194 --> 00:29:32,514
Speaker 1: I love the wash.

692
00:29:32,554 --> 00:29:33,154
Speaker 2: I love this.

693
00:29:33,354 --> 00:29:36,474
Speaker 3: I love the slim straight cigarette and stale, but.

694
00:29:36,554 --> 00:29:38,754
Speaker 2: The rise and the length just on the right.

695
00:29:38,874 --> 00:29:40,914
Speaker 3: But maybe seven years ago I would have just went,

696
00:29:41,234 --> 00:29:42,434
Speaker 3: I'm going to make it work.

697
00:29:42,514 --> 00:29:44,914
Speaker 1: I would, yes, especially if it was on sale.

698
00:29:45,114 --> 00:29:47,674
Speaker 3: Yeah, So I just have to say to myself realistically,

699
00:29:47,794 --> 00:29:49,594
Speaker 3: some like are you going to wael this?

700
00:29:50,234 --> 00:29:52,394
Speaker 2: You're not, You're going to be You're going to hit

701
00:29:52,474 --> 00:29:52,834
Speaker 2: your mound.

702
00:29:53,194 --> 00:29:56,434
Speaker 1: We never wear it, and yeah, so now you know,

703
00:29:56,514 --> 00:30:10,194
Speaker 1: maybe you're on the lookout for the right pair. It's

704
00:30:10,354 --> 00:30:15,314
Speaker 1: very expensive, honey, how wondre these percent? Let's finish with

705
00:30:15,354 --> 00:30:17,514
Speaker 1: boushie and budget, which is a bit of a tricky

706
00:30:17,514 --> 00:30:19,874
Speaker 1: one because we're talking about not shopping. However, we're going

707
00:30:19,954 --> 00:30:24,034
Speaker 1: to justify why these items are so important in our wardrobe,

708
00:30:24,074 --> 00:30:26,794
Speaker 1: and that kind of bring everything together. I have a jacket,

00:32:01,394 --> 00:32:04,514
Speaker 1: because you need to Australia. I am incredibly forgetful. If

Speaker 1: I don't lose my security pass twice a day, that's

749
00:32:06,474 --> 00:32:08,994
Speaker 1: a good day. I lose everything. I drop everything, and

750
00:32:09,034 --> 00:32:10,714
Speaker 1: you can't always have a handbag. And then if I've

751
00:32:10,714 --> 00:32:12,394
Speaker 1: bought an outfit on my outfit doesn't have pockets.

752
00:32:12,674 --> 00:32:13,194
Speaker 2: Oh night.

753
00:32:13,514 --> 00:32:15,354
Speaker 1: And then sometimes your phone will pull down your skirt

754
00:32:15,394 --> 00:32:17,994
Speaker 1: if you know, it's just not good. My son also

755
00:32:18,034 --> 00:32:20,274
Speaker 1: lives We literally live outside. You jump out of our

756
00:32:20,274 --> 00:32:23,314
Speaker 1: house crossing school. So sometimes I'm in my pajamas, like

757
00:32:23,354 --> 00:32:26,474
Speaker 1: literal pajamas when I drop him. And the reality of

758
00:32:26,474 --> 00:32:27,914
Speaker 1: my life is I look nice two days a week

759
00:32:27,914 --> 00:32:30,114
Speaker 1: and then I look like I just got out of bed.

760
00:32:30,314 --> 00:32:32,554
Speaker 1: So this jacket came out, it's the art and coat.

761
00:32:32,594 --> 00:32:35,074
Speaker 1: You probably know it, know it, And I watched it

762
00:32:35,154 --> 00:32:36,554
Speaker 1: and then I watched one drop cell out and I

763
00:32:36,594 --> 00:32:39,874
Speaker 1: was like, shit, it's got so many pockets. Now I'm

764
00:32:39,874 --> 00:32:42,474
Speaker 1: sitting in my jacket. If you hear my swishness in

765
00:32:42,554 --> 00:32:45,754
Speaker 1: winter or just tran seasonally, I'm a trench or a

766
00:32:45,794 --> 00:32:48,234
Speaker 1: bomber or just something that lives on the front at

767
00:32:48,234 --> 00:32:50,594
Speaker 1: the front door of the thing. But then I'm like, oh,

768
00:32:50,634 --> 00:32:52,274
Speaker 1: my keys, because I don't take my handbag just school

769
00:32:52,314 --> 00:32:53,474
Speaker 1: drop off all no, whatever.

770
00:32:53,674 --> 00:32:56,274
Speaker 2: That's such a good skill drop off, isn't it great?

771
00:32:56,314 --> 00:32:59,234
Speaker 1: And sometimes I literally wear my pajamas and just check

772
00:32:59,274 --> 00:33:02,434
Speaker 1: on my berks. So the brand has got fused ashore

773
00:33:02,474 --> 00:33:04,594
Speaker 1: and she's British. There you go, and it's called the

774
00:33:04,714 --> 00:33:06,594
Speaker 1: Art and Coat in Canvas. You're right. I think they

775
00:33:06,634 --> 00:33:07,634
Speaker 1: did a red recently.

776
00:33:07,714 --> 00:33:08,514
Speaker 2: Brand in a blank.

777
00:33:08,634 --> 00:33:11,394
Speaker 1: It's very expensive once you get it in aud so

778
00:33:11,474 --> 00:33:14,994
Speaker 1: it's four hundred and seventy nine dollars plus shipping. I

779
00:33:15,034 --> 00:33:17,714
Speaker 1: would not have paid that much. Could I find anything similar?

780
00:33:18,154 --> 00:33:20,274

Speaker 1: in large but still not oversized enough, not enough pockets.

783
00:33:24,874 --> 00:33:27,314
Speaker 1: This pocket has zips because also you've got a child.

784

789
00:33:42,474 --> 00:33:44,434
Speaker 1: All right, Well, then your bougie is a belt and

790
00:33:44,434 --> 00:33:47,554

791
00:33:47,634 --> 00:33:50,914
Speaker 2: So my belts. I love a belt. I'm petty.

00:34:01,874 --> 00:34:05,354
Speaker 3: in that cat belt actually about two years ago.

796
00:34:06,034 --> 00:34:08,674

797
00:34:08,953 --> 00:34:12,194
Speaker 3: Yeah, yes, I love that. Yeah, so I invested in that.

798
00:34:12,354 --> 00:34:14,114
Speaker 3: It's a bit two years ago and I weird all

799
00:34:14,114 --> 00:34:15,993
Speaker 3: the tame. So it just shows you if there were

800
00:34:16,314 --> 00:34:18,034
Speaker 3: the cost perl ware, but it just shows you if

801
00:34:18,074 --> 00:34:23,034
Speaker 3: you organ spend anything quite bougie a moone, then you know,

802
00:34:23,754 --> 00:34:25,714
Speaker 3: but you love it and you're weird all the tame

803
00:34:25,754 --> 00:34:27,794
Speaker 3: and it's your personality every day line.

804
00:34:27,874 --> 00:34:29,554
Speaker 2: Yeah, belt does for me.

805
00:34:29,634 --> 00:34:33,394
Speaker 1: Yeah, it saw It's so true. I had some belts

806
00:34:33,394 --> 00:34:35,674
Speaker 1: that I was just like, oh, you're supposed to own belts,

807
00:34:35,674 --> 00:34:38,834
Speaker 1: and then I was telling you before I thrifted, which

808
00:34:38,954 --> 00:34:41,514
Speaker 1: was never happens. It was thrifting Christmas. I found a

809
00:34:41,554 --> 00:34:45,114
Speaker 1: Selene belt that was ridiculously cheap and for someone with

810
00:34:45,154 --> 00:34:47,194
Speaker 1: ADHD who goes to the bucking way too much, it's

811
00:34:47,234 --> 00:34:50,074
Speaker 1: just it slides in, it has a it has a

812
00:34:50,114 --> 00:34:51,794
Speaker 1: little hole, I guess but you don't have to do

813
00:34:51,834 --> 00:34:53,553
Speaker 1: the whole bucklet. It just kind of pops in. Oh wow,

814
00:34:54,074 --> 00:34:58,194
Speaker 1: great functional love. It has changed my entire wardrobe. Now

815
00:34:58,234 --> 00:34:59,873
Speaker 1: I wouldn't go out and buy the Selene one, although

816
00:34:59,914 --> 00:35:02,594
Speaker 1: however costperware. I you know, I could have justified that.

817
00:35:02,714 --> 00:35:04,674
Speaker 1: I feel somebody who rears belts all the tame correct

818
00:35:04,714 --> 00:35:06,834
Speaker 1: and now I had become that person and my outfits

819
00:35:06,874 --> 00:35:10,114
Speaker 1: look immediately more polished. But then I thought, well, I

820
00:35:10,154 --> 00:35:11,994
Speaker 1: need more belts, don't I. So I bought a couple

821
00:35:12,034 --> 00:35:14,954
Speaker 1: of more belts, not real leather. They it's just a

822
00:35:14,994 --> 00:35:17,354
Speaker 1: belt goes through too much for it to not be

823
00:35:17,434 --> 00:35:20,074
Speaker 1: good quality. So that's kind of plastic leather breaks and

824
00:35:20,154 --> 00:35:22,754
Speaker 1: oh my god, yeah it's terrible. So Suzanne have just

825
00:35:22,834 --> 00:35:25,674
Speaker 1: launched it to Suzanne Everyday Leather belt, real leather thirty

826
00:35:25,714 --> 00:35:29,874
Speaker 1: nine ninety five, amazing medium sort of with plain as buckle,

827
00:35:30,274 --> 00:35:32,794
Speaker 1: and it will last you forever because it's leather. And

828
00:35:32,834 --> 00:35:34,554
Speaker 1: so I think, if you know you don't want to splurge,

829
00:35:34,554 --> 00:35:36,594
Speaker 1: but you want something that's good quality, well.

830
00:35:36,434 --> 00:35:39,794
Speaker 3: I feel like if it's like a basic, yes, I know,

831
00:35:40,954 --> 00:35:42,594
Speaker 3: you're a classic.

832
00:35:42,354 --> 00:35:44,914
Speaker 1: Yes classic, it's yeah, it's not making a statement. However,

833
00:35:44,954 --> 00:35:47,033
Speaker 1: it does polishing outfit.

834
00:35:46,834 --> 00:35:49,634
Speaker 3: Shatly bar Like, what's the point of, you know, spending

835
00:35:49,674 --> 00:35:50,754
Speaker 3: three hundred dollars.

836
00:35:50,594 --> 00:35:52,194
Speaker 2: On something like a basic belt?

837
00:35:52,314 --> 00:35:55,314
Speaker 1: But Suzanne, yeah, forty dollars for a genuine leather belt,

838
00:35:55,394 --> 00:35:57,754
Speaker 1: and I just think sometimes, thank God, I just covered

839
00:35:57,754 --> 00:36:00,554
Speaker 1: that belt and it brought me back to the belt world. Sam,

840

841
00:36:03,234 --> 00:36:05,953
