I love that the 27 00:01:20,314 --> 00:01:23,754 Speaker 1: little box of shorts and an oversized shirt for the 28 00:01:23,834 --> 00:01:26,794 Speaker 1: summer days where it's boiling outside. Do you have any 29 00:01:26,834 --> 00:01:29,834 Speaker 1: recommendations on what to wear for that heat and that 30 00:01:29,914 --> 00:01:31,234 Speaker 1: commute on the train, etc. 31 00:01:32,034 --> 00:01:33,994 Speaker 3: We're quite lucky here in the mom of the office 32 00:01:34,034 --> 00:01:35,994 Speaker 3: that the vibe is quite diverse. It can be a 33 00:01:35,994 --> 00:01:38,394 Speaker 3: little bit more casual, but if you are a corporate girl. 34 00:01:38,474 --> 00:01:41,314 Speaker 3: I used to work in a very like traditional conservative 35 00:01:41,354 --> 00:01:45,034 Speaker 3: corporate office where the dress coat is a little bit 36 00:01:45,034 --> 00:01:48,474 Speaker 3: more strict than it can be difficult during those warm 37 00:01:48,514 --> 00:01:50,714 Speaker 3: months getting to and from the office and fringerwrite what. 38 00:01:50,674 --> 00:01:51,274 Speaker 2: To wear for me. 39 00:01:51,554 --> 00:01:55,834 Speaker 3: Back in the day, the key was lucish fitting clothing. 40 00:01:56,474 --> 00:02:01,194 Speaker 3: I think tight skirts tops. It really just doesn't do 41 00:02:01,314 --> 00:02:04,554 Speaker 3: well with the heat. So the main uniforms I kind 42 00:02:04,594 --> 00:02:07,634 Speaker 3: of had were number one, a linen set. Linen in 43 00:02:07,634 --> 00:02:11,954 Speaker 3: general as material is great, yes exactly, but I would 44 00:02:11,994 --> 00:02:14,594 Speaker 3: love some sort of pant with a linen blazer or 45 00:02:14,633 --> 00:02:17,874 Speaker 3: even a vest a vest top I think is really 46 00:02:17,874 --> 00:02:19,754 Speaker 3: great and a way that kind of feels dressed up 47 00:02:19,754 --> 00:02:21,314 Speaker 3: because it is kind of like a paired set. 48 00:02:21,474 --> 00:02:23,674 Speaker 1: I love a linen vest, Like you know, it's sort 49 00:02:23,674 --> 00:02:26,394 Speaker 1: of popped off a year or two ago, but they've 50 00:02:26,434 --> 00:02:29,114 Speaker 1: stayed consistent and relevant, and I think there's just that 51 00:02:29,234 --> 00:02:32,594 Speaker 1: commercial viability, right. Everyone loves wearing them, and they're so comfortable, 52 00:02:32,714 --> 00:02:33,514 Speaker 1: so comfortable, and. 53 00:02:33,474 --> 00:02:35,434 Speaker 3: Also the thing I love that sets is you can 54 00:02:35,514 --> 00:02:37,874 Speaker 3: kind of break it up and pair it with the pieces, 55 00:02:37,914 --> 00:02:41,754 Speaker 3: so very versatile. Next is a silk midi skirt, so 56 00:02:41,914 --> 00:02:45,074 Speaker 3: middi skirt, also very very versatile. I'd like to pair 57 00:02:45,114 --> 00:02:47,074 Speaker 3: it with like a button up, tuck that in, or 58 00:02:47,114 --> 00:02:50,514 Speaker 3: even like a more structured kind of top. But silk 59 00:02:50,634 --> 00:02:52,794 Speaker 3: is a great material because it is a natural fiber, 60 00:02:53,194 --> 00:02:56,274 Speaker 3: really really breathable and perfect for those warmer months. But 61 00:02:56,394 --> 00:02:58,554 Speaker 3: you're kind of commuting to and from the office. It 62 00:02:58,594 --> 00:03:01,674 Speaker 3: is a bit of an investment though, Like silk items 63 00:03:01,714 --> 00:03:04,194 Speaker 3: can be quite expensive. One of the ones I have 64 00:03:04,474 --> 00:03:06,474 Speaker 3: is a silk slip maxi skirt in this kind of 65 00:03:06,514 --> 00:03:09,114 Speaker 3: mauve color. It is three hundred and ninety five dollars, 66 00:03:09,114 --> 00:03:11,514 Speaker 3: which is quite a lot of money, but the amount 67 00:03:11,594 --> 00:03:14,154 Speaker 3: of wear that I get out of it go math. 68 00:03:14,234 --> 00:03:16,114 Speaker 2: I feel like I've made my money back. 69 00:03:16,154 --> 00:03:18,394 Speaker 1: You know, and getting like a nice color like that 70 00:03:18,634 --> 00:03:20,474 Speaker 1: or a mutual color. You will be able to mix 71 00:03:20,514 --> 00:03:21,194 Speaker 1: and match, won't you. 72 00:03:21,274 --> 00:03:23,514 Speaker 3: And also something that doesn't have to be corporate either. 73 00:03:23,674 --> 00:03:25,234 Speaker 3: Nice you can wear it to the office, but you 74 00:03:25,234 --> 00:03:26,954 Speaker 3: can also wear it on the weekend, dressed. 75 00:03:26,754 --> 00:03:28,154 Speaker 1: In in different ways. So I got that. 76 00:03:28,474 --> 00:03:31,194 Speaker 3: And finally some sort of a dress that's a lightweight material. 77 00:03:31,234 --> 00:03:33,194 Speaker 3: I do have a linen dress that is a bit 78 00:03:33,234 --> 00:03:36,714 Speaker 3: more formal but still very breathable. I think dresses and 79 00:03:36,754 --> 00:03:40,114 Speaker 3: skirts are really key, just because you've got that circulation nice, 80 00:03:40,714 --> 00:03:41,874 Speaker 3: Like a tighter pant can. 81 00:03:41,794 --> 00:03:43,194 Speaker 2: Be kind of difficult when you're sweating. 82 00:03:43,274 --> 00:03:43,514 Speaker 1: Nice. 83 00:03:43,634 --> 00:03:46,594 Speaker 2: What about you? What are the kind of things that command. 84 00:03:46,354 --> 00:03:49,074 Speaker 1: I've never been super super corporate. It's always been in 85 00:03:49,114 --> 00:03:52,074 Speaker 1: like creative roles or even in trend forecasting. It would 86 00:03:52,114 --> 00:03:55,394 Speaker 1: be dependent on the client. So like I did have 87 00:03:55,434 --> 00:03:57,594 Speaker 1: a really corporate client, and everyone would always know when 88 00:03:57,594 --> 00:03:59,234 Speaker 1: I was seeing that client because I'd have to dress 89 00:03:59,274 --> 00:04:02,954 Speaker 1: up relatively corporate to go to meetings. But if you 90 00:04:03,074 --> 00:04:04,994 Speaker 1: were in more like I sort of asked some of 91 00:04:05,034 --> 00:04:07,834 Speaker 1: my friends the other day, like you were, and that's 92 00:04:08,434 --> 00:04:10,194 Speaker 1: what would what do you do? And it's all about 93 00:04:10,234 --> 00:04:13,394 Speaker 1: that suiting whether it be getting a half lined or 94 00:04:13,434 --> 00:04:16,993 Speaker 1: an unlined suit. And if you try to figure out 95 00:04:17,194 --> 00:04:18,474 Speaker 1: where do you how do you know if it is 96 00:04:18,594 --> 00:04:20,993 Speaker 1: or not. It's just if you're googling, just put half 97 00:04:21,034 --> 00:04:24,193 Speaker 1: lined or unline suit or usually in the description, just 98 00:04:24,193 --> 00:04:26,993 Speaker 1: say you're searching on Zara, it'll have in the description 99 00:04:27,034 --> 00:04:29,913 Speaker 1: if it's fully lined or not. They're everywhere actually, Zara, 100 00:04:29,953 --> 00:04:32,993 Speaker 1: Camilla and Mark h and M. So depending on your budget. 101 00:04:33,633 --> 00:04:37,994 Speaker 1: I love a short sleeve suit and blazer that sort 102 00:04:38,034 --> 00:04:41,754 Speaker 1: of oversized cool girl vibe. There's a really beautiful one 103 00:04:41,753 --> 00:04:46,113 Speaker 1: at the moment on Zara. It's a really lovely butter color. Again, 104 00:04:46,474 --> 00:04:49,513 Speaker 1: big color last season, but I still think it's relevant 105 00:04:49,553 --> 00:04:52,313 Speaker 1: and we'll sort of follow through to next year because 106 00:04:52,474 --> 00:04:55,034 Speaker 1: it plays within that neutral space. Anyways. Really, and this 107 00:04:55,154 --> 00:04:57,553 Speaker 1: isn't a this isn't yellow. It's very much more of 108 00:04:57,594 --> 00:05:01,354 Speaker 1: a button mutual color. But yeah, that short sleeve blazer, 109 00:05:01,714 --> 00:05:05,714 Speaker 1: it's an oversized not lapel, so it's cool girl vibe. 110 00:05:05,794 --> 00:05:09,514 Speaker 1: A soft shoulder pad two hundred dollars. The only thing 111 00:05:09,513 --> 00:05:13,914 Speaker 1: it's eighty percent viscos, which is that semisynthetic. Like you said, 112 00:05:13,914 --> 00:05:15,713 Speaker 1: if it's those really hot days, you want a little 113 00:05:15,753 --> 00:05:19,553 Speaker 1: bit more of a breathable material, but for that price 114 00:05:19,553 --> 00:05:20,314 Speaker 1: of two hundred. 115 00:05:20,073 --> 00:05:21,234 Speaker 2: Dollars, you can't really eat that. 116 00:05:21,433 --> 00:05:24,273 Speaker 1: Yeah, right, And being short sleeve I really like, but 117 00:05:24,393 --> 00:05:26,193 Speaker 1: like you said, if you cannot for more like the 118 00:05:26,274 --> 00:05:30,634 Speaker 1: natural materials like the silk, cotton, linen, et cetera. Another 119 00:05:30,674 --> 00:05:32,713 Speaker 1: thing I do like with what you're wearing today. Actually, 120 00:05:32,794 --> 00:05:37,274 Speaker 1: I love an oversized shirt, and particularly in summer, if 121 00:05:37,274 --> 00:05:40,274 Speaker 1: you can go through a populum over an Oxford shirt. 122 00:05:41,034 --> 00:05:43,593 Speaker 1: So it's just how they look quite similar, Like do 123 00:05:43,594 --> 00:05:44,474 Speaker 1: you know what yours is? 124 00:05:44,474 --> 00:05:44,594 Speaker 3: Is that? 125 00:05:44,753 --> 00:05:47,073 Speaker 1: Not sure actually because you can't really. It's just by 126 00:05:47,113 --> 00:05:50,794 Speaker 1: how it's stitched and woven, so the poplin's more breathable. 127 00:05:50,873 --> 00:05:53,354 Speaker 1: So if you're shopping online or in person, just check 128 00:05:53,393 --> 00:05:55,514 Speaker 1: it's they're all oversized shirts, but just see if it's 129 00:05:55,513 --> 00:05:57,674 Speaker 1: either a populum or an ox hurt. That's interesting because 130 00:05:57,674 --> 00:05:58,633 Speaker 1: it's a little bit more readable. 131 00:05:59,073 --> 00:06:01,953 Speaker 3: So I think we're all guilty of just having the 132 00:06:02,034 --> 00:06:04,754 Speaker 3: same five or six outfits on, especially when you're going 133 00:06:04,794 --> 00:06:07,034 Speaker 3: to work every single day in the office, you just 134 00:06:07,193 --> 00:06:08,313 Speaker 3: kind of throw on the same things. 135 00:06:08,794 --> 00:06:11,234 Speaker 1: It's feel like what's on top of the washing that's 136 00:06:11,274 --> 00:06:11,914 Speaker 1: just been cleaned? 137 00:06:11,914 --> 00:06:14,914 Speaker 3: She just grab I think for me, beginning of the 138 00:06:14,953 --> 00:06:16,794 Speaker 3: week I start, I put in a little bit more 139 00:06:16,794 --> 00:06:21,834 Speaker 3: effort by the time you get to Wednesday, Yeah, yeah, 140 00:06:21,873 --> 00:06:24,154 Speaker 3: what can we do to really kind of break out 141 00:06:24,154 --> 00:06:25,433 Speaker 3: of that pattern and switch it up? 142 00:06:26,553 --> 00:06:28,954 Speaker 1: Like you said, it's so funny. It almost depends on 143 00:06:28,993 --> 00:06:30,794 Speaker 1: the time of year as well. Like you said, at 144 00:06:30,794 --> 00:06:32,394 Speaker 1: the beginning of the week, you're a bit more organized 145 00:06:32,594 --> 00:06:34,553 Speaker 1: the beginning of the year. Like this start of the year, 146 00:06:34,594 --> 00:06:36,833 Speaker 1: I love having a bit more of a plan in place. 147 00:06:37,313 --> 00:06:40,034 Speaker 1: And something I did last year and even the year 148 00:06:40,073 --> 00:06:43,193 Speaker 1: before was each day of the week, have a key 149 00:06:43,313 --> 00:06:45,793 Speaker 1: item that I'd wear and then I'd style that piece, 150 00:06:45,993 --> 00:06:48,073 Speaker 1: And that was me trying to explore my own personal 151 00:06:48,073 --> 00:06:50,753 Speaker 1: style as well, a little bit like Mean Girls. On Wednesday, 152 00:06:50,834 --> 00:06:53,273 Speaker 1: we were pick but it's more about the peace. So 153 00:06:53,354 --> 00:06:57,113 Speaker 1: for example, Monday, it was a trouser or pant Tuesday, 154 00:06:57,193 --> 00:07:02,393 Speaker 1: meaty skirt, Wednesday, oversized blazer, Thursday addressed because we'd usually 155 00:07:02,393 --> 00:07:04,913 Speaker 1: go out for after work drinks on Thursday, and Friday 156 00:07:04,953 --> 00:07:06,633 Speaker 1: could be a bit more of a wild card because 157 00:07:06,633 --> 00:07:11,274 Speaker 1: it's casual. So having those pieces dedicated to a day, 158 00:07:11,474 --> 00:07:13,194 Speaker 1: I know it sounds like a little bit of thinking 159 00:07:13,234 --> 00:07:15,114 Speaker 1: but it's not really it still works with how your 160 00:07:15,274 --> 00:07:16,354 Speaker 1: washing cycle goes. 161 00:07:16,514 --> 00:07:19,953 Speaker 3: I also think the pre planning actually takes away having 162 00:07:20,034 --> 00:07:21,594 Speaker 3: to think about it in the moment, which is a 163 00:07:21,634 --> 00:07:23,434 Speaker 3: lot of the stress of getting ready is getting up 164 00:07:23,434 --> 00:07:25,074 Speaker 3: and being like what am I going to do? But 165 00:07:25,114 --> 00:07:27,874 Speaker 3: I think having, like you said, like a day allocated 166 00:07:27,914 --> 00:07:29,713 Speaker 3: to an item or something that don't want to. 167 00:07:29,674 --> 00:07:31,234 Speaker 1: Way, it's a bit of stress out of like, you know, 168 00:07:31,234 --> 00:07:32,914 Speaker 1: you're wearing a trouser on Monday, Okay, how am I 169 00:07:32,953 --> 00:07:35,794 Speaker 1: going to style that? So it's okay wearing those same 170 00:07:35,834 --> 00:07:39,594 Speaker 1: pieces consistently, it's just restyling them each day. What I 171 00:07:39,634 --> 00:07:42,354 Speaker 1: also liked is I would stick to that depending on 172 00:07:42,393 --> 00:07:44,713 Speaker 1: the weather.

Maybe I'm 192 00:08:26,994 --> 00:08:29,034 Speaker 3: switching up the shoes. So you're really making the most 193 00:08:29,074 --> 00:08:31,473 Speaker 3: of what you already own and wear, but trying to 194 00:08:31,514 --> 00:08:33,754 Speaker 3: find like a new still aware or a new style 195 00:08:33,754 --> 00:08:35,434 Speaker 3: that you haven't really explored. And I think that's a 196 00:08:35,434 --> 00:08:38,234 Speaker 3: great way to not have to invest in new pieces, sure, 197 00:08:38,274 --> 00:08:39,634 Speaker 3: but get the most out of your work. 198 00:08:39,794 --> 00:08:41,954 Speaker 1: And I'm sure you probably now if you're investing in 199 00:08:41,994 --> 00:08:44,114 Speaker 1: a piece, would you think of that three three three? 200 00:08:44,314 --> 00:08:45,194 Speaker 2: Yes, exactly. 201 00:08:45,314 --> 00:08:47,154 Speaker 3: I usually kind of think about, Okay, what are the 202 00:08:47,154 --> 00:08:49,314 Speaker 3: pieces I already wear to work, and how can I 203 00:08:49,354 --> 00:08:50,394 Speaker 3: really add to that. 204 00:08:50,394 --> 00:08:52,674 Speaker 1: That's cool, I haven't heard of that. That's really good. 205 00:08:52,714 --> 00:08:54,754 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, it's kind of circling around to it's kind 206 00:08:54,754 --> 00:08:57,714 Speaker 3: of a like a mini capsule wardrobe the ways, I 207 00:08:57,714 --> 00:08:58,474 Speaker 3: would say, and. 208 00:08:58,434 --> 00:08:59,754 Speaker 1: That allows you to be creative as well. 209 00:08:59,874 --> 00:09:00,874 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. 210 00:09:01,394 --> 00:09:03,953 Speaker 1: I want to know about your foot wear shells. That's 211 00:09:03,954 --> 00:09:06,794 Speaker 1: something I always get stumped on because I go for 212 00:09:06,834 --> 00:09:09,234 Speaker 1: sort of sandal a lot of the time. But I know, 213 00:09:09,394 --> 00:09:12,074 Speaker 1: like people in corporate can't just do that, right, So, 214 00:09:12,074 --> 00:09:14,474 Speaker 1: do you have any recommendations on footwear? 215 00:09:14,714 --> 00:09:17,274 Speaker 2: Yes? So when I was working corporate, initially it was 216 00:09:17,274 --> 00:09:17,914 Speaker 2: all about. 217 00:09:17,674 --> 00:09:21,474 Speaker 3: The heels, but then the commute it's rough, and I 218 00:09:21,554 --> 00:09:26,034 Speaker 3: generally personally don't like to wear into the wardrobe and 219 00:09:26,034 --> 00:09:27,634 Speaker 3: then put my shoes on in the office. I kind 220 00:09:27,634 --> 00:09:28,794 Speaker 3: of like to just go in with the shoes. 221 00:09:29,194 --> 00:09:31,954 Speaker 2: Lots of people do, yeah, and there's nothing wrong with that. 222 00:09:32,074 --> 00:09:34,354 Speaker 3: I just personally like to not have to carry the 223 00:09:34,354 --> 00:09:37,034 Speaker 3: shoes with me and bring them around me. So I'm 224 00:09:37,074 --> 00:09:39,754 Speaker 3: always opting for a flat. So, if you're someone who 225 00:09:39,874 --> 00:09:44,274 Speaker 3: values comfort ballet flats, I love that they're back in fashion. 226 00:09:44,314 --> 00:09:45,594 Speaker 3: I know for a period of time they were kind 227 00:09:45,634 --> 00:09:45,914 Speaker 3: of out. 228 00:09:45,994 --> 00:09:47,554 Speaker 2: Yeah, very I don't know. 229 00:09:47,794 --> 00:09:50,594 Speaker 1: People say they're all frens. Do you say they're all comfortable? Not? 230 00:09:50,794 --> 00:09:55,474 Speaker 3: Every ballet flat is made the same. I love Charles 231 00:09:55,474 --> 00:09:58,194 Speaker 3: and Keith. It's a great They do bags as well, 232 00:09:58,314 --> 00:10:01,674 Speaker 3: but they're really known for their shoes, really affordable and 233 00:10:01,874 --> 00:10:04,034 Speaker 3: really really comfortable. So I have a pair of Charles 234 00:10:04,034 --> 00:10:05,674 Speaker 3: and Keith ballet flats with studs of them that I 235 00:10:05,714 --> 00:10:07,394 Speaker 3: wear all the time. These loafers that I'm wear as 236 00:10:07,394 --> 00:10:10,474 Speaker 3: well also Charles and Keith cool. So I would recommend 237 00:10:10,514 --> 00:10:13,754 Speaker 3: yet a ballet flat or a loafer when styled the 238 00:10:13,834 --> 00:10:15,794 Speaker 3: right way. I think it can look really really cool 239 00:10:15,834 --> 00:10:18,034 Speaker 3: but still professional, which I think is important. 240 00:10:18,274 --> 00:10:21,674 Speaker 1: And did you find any cool pump or heel that 241 00:10:21,914 --> 00:10:23,274 Speaker 1: was comfortable? Yeah? 242 00:10:23,314 --> 00:10:28,114 Speaker 3: I find a closed toe with a sling back for 243 00:10:28,194 --> 00:10:30,274 Speaker 3: me and not too high. I'm always like opting for 244 00:10:30,314 --> 00:10:33,314 Speaker 3: a kitten hill. Yeah, nothing higher than like this, just 245 00:10:33,354 --> 00:10:35,674 Speaker 3: because yeah, easy to walk around and I find sometimes 246 00:10:35,674 --> 00:10:36,634 Speaker 3: with sandals. 247 00:10:36,234 --> 00:10:38,954 Speaker 2: My foot slips back and forth. 248 00:10:39,434 --> 00:10:41,674 Speaker 3: If I'm walking around a lot, especially if it's a heel, 249 00:10:41,714 --> 00:10:43,634 Speaker 3: So I generally like to opt for something that's closed 250 00:10:43,634 --> 00:10:44,754 Speaker 3: toe and it's kind of like. 251 00:10:44,754 --> 00:10:45,434 Speaker 2: Secure in there. 252 00:10:45,514 --> 00:10:47,794 Speaker 1: And a kidden hill that's giving me post traumatic stress. 253 00:10:47,834 --> 00:10:50,114 Speaker 1: I used to work at Cookeye and have to wear 254 00:10:50,154 --> 00:10:53,554 Speaker 1: like huge platform pumps and just all day on that 255 00:10:53,674 --> 00:10:56,074 Speaker 1: concrete floor.

I think I mentioned this in a 495 00:21:08,794 --> 00:21:13,474 Speaker 3: previous episode, but even when it's summer, it's hard to 496 00:21:13,834 --> 00:21:16,634 Speaker 3: find outerwear that works during the summertime that you can 497 00:21:16,674 --> 00:21:19,194 Speaker 3: easily carry around that you're not just holding the entire day. 498 00:21:19,354 --> 00:21:21,394 Speaker 3: A cardigan is an easy one to roll up and 499 00:21:21,554 --> 00:21:23,434 Speaker 3: throw on and not have it be too heavy. 500 00:21:23,874 --> 00:21:25,434 Speaker 2: I'm the same love a cardigan. 501 00:21:25,994 --> 00:21:29,513 Speaker 3: I've also found a like a sweater vest can be 502 00:21:29,594 --> 00:21:32,513 Speaker 3: really good as well, depending on what out for you're wearing. 503 00:21:32,794 --> 00:21:34,354 Speaker 2: But if you find. 504 00:21:34,194 --> 00:21:35,834 Speaker 3: It gets a little bit cold in the office, it's 505 00:21:35,874 --> 00:21:37,273 Speaker 3: a nice one to throw on where your arms are 506 00:21:37,274 --> 00:21:41,434 Speaker 3: still kind of exposed. Too hot, but I can attest 507 00:21:41,474 --> 00:21:43,874 Speaker 3: to like freezing cold temperatures here in the mom and 508 00:21:43,914 --> 00:21:46,313 Speaker 3: me off it gets so cold. It doesn't matter if 509 00:21:46,314 --> 00:21:49,194 Speaker 3: it's like thirty five degrees outside, it's always frozing. So 510 00:21:49,434 --> 00:21:52,674 Speaker 3: my biggest tip from experience is to wear closed toed 511 00:21:52,874 --> 00:21:57,394 Speaker 3: shoes just because if your feet are cold, doesn't matter 512 00:21:57,394 --> 00:21:59,513 Speaker 3: how many layers I'm wearing, I'm going to be cold, 513 00:21:59,954 --> 00:22:01,994 Speaker 3: so I typically try to opt for yeah, like a 514 00:22:02,034 --> 00:22:04,114 Speaker 3: closed tel, like a loafer if you look a ballet flat, 515 00:22:04,154 --> 00:22:06,273 Speaker 3: something where like my toes are warm. 516 00:22:06,194 --> 00:22:09,434 Speaker 1: Or even just like eving a blanket at the office, 517 00:22:10,834 --> 00:22:11,833 Speaker 1: I have a pobula. 518 00:22:11,874 --> 00:22:13,994 Speaker 3: I have a blanket on where like I'll throw it 519 00:22:13,994 --> 00:22:16,273 Speaker 3: over my legs fund a skirt or something that's a 520 00:22:18,114 --> 00:22:21,354 Speaker 3: So the commute during the summer, it can be so hard, 521 00:22:21,474 --> 00:22:24,314 Speaker 3: especially if you're wearing nice corporate wear like a tailored 522 00:22:24,354 --> 00:22:26,634 Speaker 3: pant linen that can crease easily. 523 00:22:27,314 --> 00:22:28,994 Speaker 2: It's tough when it's hot out. 524 00:22:29,314 --> 00:22:32,194 Speaker 3: So what are your tips to like keeping your clothes 525 00:22:32,234 --> 00:22:34,874 Speaker 3: looking as fresh as possible when you're arrive at the office. 526 00:22:35,074 --> 00:22:38,154 Speaker 1: I even remember once actually sitting in a uber on 527 00:22:38,194 --> 00:22:39,594 Speaker 1: the way to a meeting, and I was wearing like 528 00:22:39,594 --> 00:22:41,434 Speaker 1: a silk midi, and you'd even think of that sort 529 00:22:41,434 --> 00:22:43,074 Speaker 1: of material, But then I stood up and it was 530 00:22:43,114 --> 00:22:47,714 Speaker 1: all crist So I get it. I try and leave 531 00:22:47,954 --> 00:22:51,194 Speaker 1: as much as possible at work. So just for example, 532 00:22:51,234 --> 00:22:54,793 Speaker 1: if I've got a linen oversized blazer or I'd have 533 00:22:54,874 --> 00:22:56,634 Speaker 1: it off for the commute and have it in my 534 00:22:56,674 --> 00:22:58,594 Speaker 1: hands if I can't actually leave it at work, So 535 00:22:58,754 --> 00:23:00,914 Speaker 1: just resting on my laugh on the bus, just so 536 00:23:00,954 --> 00:23:03,273 Speaker 1: I'm not wearing it and it's not capturing that body 537 00:23:03,354 --> 00:23:06,114 Speaker 1: heat as much as possible. But yeah, I leave a 538 00:23:06,114 --> 00:23:09,234 Speaker 1: lot in the office if you can do that, whether 539 00:23:09,274 --> 00:23:11,234 Speaker 1: it be having a nice blazer always on the back 540 00:23:11,274 --> 00:23:13,954 Speaker 1: of your desk's chair. Also, another way I like to 541 00:23:13,994 --> 00:23:16,714 Speaker 1: think about freshening up a look is also just your 542 00:23:16,754 --> 00:23:21,033 Speaker 1: personal grooming. So like, is it just making sure that 543 00:23:21,074 --> 00:23:23,194 Speaker 1: you've got you know, Deoda in the office, fix up 544 00:23:23,234 --> 00:23:26,474 Speaker 1: your hair and your makeup. Just freshen up before any meeting. 545 00:23:26,594 --> 00:23:29,314 Speaker 1: I think just can create that overall fresh, polished look. 546 00:23:29,354 --> 00:23:32,554 Speaker 1: It's not necessarily the clothes. I also have this really 547 00:23:32,634 --> 00:23:36,714 Speaker 1: good I hate ironing spray, which will include a phonot here, 548 00:23:36,794 --> 00:23:38,634 Speaker 1: but it's something that I keep in my bag. It's 549 00:23:38,634 --> 00:23:41,194 Speaker 1: just it's easy to carry around if it's an oversized 550 00:23:41,194 --> 00:23:43,874 Speaker 1: bag or keep in the office. And if I do 551 00:23:44,034 --> 00:23:46,273 Speaker 1: notice some things are inevitable, just say I'm wearing like 552 00:23:46,274 --> 00:23:48,674 Speaker 1: a linen dress and it is all creased. You can 553 00:23:48,714 --> 00:23:50,434 Speaker 1: just spray it down and wipe it. 554 00:23:50,994 --> 00:23:51,674 Speaker 2: And it straightens up. 555 00:23:51,794 --> 00:23:52,553 Speaker 1: It straightens it out. 556 00:23:53,234 --> 00:23:53,914 Speaker 2: That's a tip. 557 00:23:54,274 --> 00:23:57,313 Speaker 1: It's from Amazon. It's dirt cheap as well, but carrying 558 00:23:57,314 --> 00:23:58,434 Speaker 1: that around really helps. 559 00:23:58,674 --> 00:24:00,194 Speaker 2: Yeah, love that. Those great tips. 560 00:24:00,674 --> 00:24:04,194 Speaker 3: So we've spoken a little bit about kind of working 561 00:24:04,314 --> 00:24:07,354 Speaker 3: in corporate environments where the dress code is a little 562 00:24:07,354 --> 00:24:09,914 Speaker 3: bit more conservative, so it can be tricky to kind 563 00:24:09,954 --> 00:24:13,914 Speaker 3: of inject some of your own personal style into those environments. 564 00:24:13,954 --> 00:24:16,594 Speaker 3: So what would you say is a good way to 565 00:24:16,634 --> 00:24:19,154 Speaker 3: add some personality to your look without breaking the rules? 566 00:24:19,274 --> 00:24:21,914 Speaker 1: Yeah. I used to work in a place it wasn't corporate. 567 00:24:21,994 --> 00:24:24,714 Speaker 1: They had really strict rules. So it was in magazine 568 00:24:24,794 --> 00:24:27,034 Speaker 1: and I guess you sort of had to dress for 569 00:24:27,074 --> 00:24:29,033 Speaker 1: the mag and the brand it was. And one of 570 00:24:29,034 --> 00:24:32,634 Speaker 1: the rules was no ripped dinner, so you could wear dinner, 571 00:24:32,714 --> 00:24:34,874 Speaker 1: but no ripped And I remember a girl actually wore 572 00:24:34,954 --> 00:24:36,594 Speaker 1: rips like it was just the one slid across the 573 00:24:36,674 --> 00:24:38,754 Speaker 1: knee and she got sent home. That's how strict it was. 574 00:24:38,834 --> 00:24:39,114 Speaker 3: Wow. 575 00:24:39,194 --> 00:24:43,234 Speaker 1: Okay, so I understand. I know that's not necessarily corporate dressing, 576 00:24:43,354 --> 00:24:46,434 Speaker 1: but I understand like strict, it's strict, and it is 577 00:24:46,554 --> 00:24:49,074 Speaker 1: if they take it quite seriously as well. I'd think 578 00:24:49,114 --> 00:24:52,034 Speaker 1: about personality through beauty. I know it's not quite closed, 579 00:24:52,074 --> 00:24:55,594 Speaker 1: but whether it be the hairstyle, the makeup, the accessories, 580 00:24:55,634 --> 00:24:58,273 Speaker 1: the fragrance. I imagine if you're em barrister walking in 581 00:24:58,314 --> 00:25:00,594 Speaker 1: the court, you've got this sleep back barn and some 582 00:25:00,714 --> 00:25:05,234 Speaker 1: massive Potaga Doome earrings of Potago Dome earrings, something like that, 583 00:25:05,674 --> 00:25:08,234 Speaker 1: I think, or maybe it's your per little signature fragrance. 584 00:25:08,274 --> 00:25:11,554 Speaker 1: I know it's not quite fashion, but little. I'm not 585 00:25:11,594 --> 00:25:14,634 Speaker 1: saying you go with like pink hair into for your 586 00:25:14,714 --> 00:25:18,154 Speaker 1: first but like think about how you can style hair 587 00:25:18,234 --> 00:25:22,514 Speaker 1: and make up differently. I also like subtle changes in silhouettes, 588 00:25:22,594 --> 00:25:25,114 Speaker 1: so like a soft shoulder pat so you're still wearing 589 00:25:25,154 --> 00:25:28,354 Speaker 1: a really nice tailored suit, but maybe it's like the 590 00:25:28,434 --> 00:25:30,674 Speaker 1: trouser could be more barrel cut, which is in at 591 00:25:30,714 --> 00:25:31,434 Speaker 1: the moment. 592 00:25:32,194 --> 00:25:34,994 Speaker 3: I won't have any Yeah, I had a similar thought 593 00:25:35,074 --> 00:25:36,834 Speaker 3: just about like playing with shapes. 594 00:25:37,034 --> 00:25:38,033 Speaker 1: Yeah, design a little bit. 595 00:25:38,074 --> 00:25:40,394 Speaker 3: So obviously you can still stick to a more muted 596 00:25:40,794 --> 00:25:43,353 Speaker 3: color palla that fits in and whatever environment that you're 597 00:25:43,394 --> 00:25:45,154 Speaker 3: working in, but maybe playing with like the way the 598 00:25:45,154 --> 00:25:47,793 Speaker 3: buttons are on the front construction of the jacket. It 599 00:25:47,794 --> 00:25:49,834 Speaker 3: doesn't have to be boring, like a blazer doesn't have 600 00:25:49,914 --> 00:25:53,114 Speaker 3: to be very simple. That you can have something where 601 00:25:53,154 --> 00:25:55,394 Speaker 3: like you were saying, like light shoulder pads or the 602 00:25:55,434 --> 00:25:57,234 Speaker 3: cut is a little bit interesting, or it nips in 603 00:25:57,274 --> 00:25:58,234 Speaker 3: at the waist a little bit. 604 00:25:58,274 --> 00:26:00,594 Speaker 2: There's fun ways to play with shape. 605 00:26:00,274 --> 00:26:02,634 Speaker 1: And also like the glasses that we were talking about, 606 00:26:02,674 --> 00:26:06,834 Speaker 1: like having a cool aviator style or catie or something.

I 612 00:26:18,554 --> 00:26:22,194 Speaker 3: think accessories are really great as well. With shoes, you 613 00:26:22,234 --> 00:26:24,714 Speaker 3: can kind of have your corporate outfit, but like a 614 00:26:24,754 --> 00:26:28,834 Speaker 3: fun pop of color isn't going to be something that's shocking. 615 00:26:29,034 --> 00:26:31,313 Speaker 1: Yeah, or the cool heel could be like that circle 616 00:26:31,394 --> 00:26:33,674 Speaker 1: the ball heel.

Yeah. 663 00:28:35,394 --> 00:28:38,354 Speaker 1: Yeah, think of what you need and what you'll be 664 00:28:38,394 --> 00:28:40,394 Speaker 1: I guess the main takeaway is what you'll be wearing 665 00:28:40,514 --> 00:28:43,274 Speaker 1: daily or be okay wearing daily, and I might. 666 00:28:43,114 --> 00:28:44,954 Speaker 2: Look different for everyone. 667 00:28:45,034 --> 00:28:46,474 Speaker 3: You know, the things that you wear the most, so 668 00:28:46,514 --> 00:28:48,714 Speaker 3: then you'll really know what that is for sure. So 669 00:28:49,034 --> 00:28:52,394 Speaker 3: talking about like investing in pieces, how do people build 670 00:28:52,474 --> 00:28:55,754 Speaker 3: a causual wardrobe when you're sort of on a tight budget, 671 00:28:55,754 --> 00:28:57,274 Speaker 3: you don't want to spend a whole lot of money. 672 00:28:57,274 --> 00:28:58,874 Speaker 2: It can be tricky, it can. 673 00:29:00,234 --> 00:29:02,354 Speaker 1: I know we've sort of spoken about trying to experiment 674 00:29:02,474 --> 00:29:06,154 Speaker 1: and explore and be experiential without dressing. But I also 675 00:29:06,194 --> 00:29:08,194 Speaker 1: think it's okay to set in the same breath. It's 676 00:29:08,274 --> 00:29:11,474 Speaker 1: okay to have a bit of a capsule wardrobe in 677 00:29:11,514 --> 00:29:14,874 Speaker 1: your own style. One of my friends owns a large 678 00:29:14,874 --> 00:29:17,874 Speaker 1: Australian fashion label and she's always in black and she 679 00:29:18,234 --> 00:29:20,914 Speaker 1: that's just her thing. So I don't necessarily she looks 680 00:29:20,914 --> 00:29:22,914 Speaker 1: the same every day to me, but I know she's 681 00:29:22,954 --> 00:29:23,754 Speaker 1: wearing different things. 682 00:29:23,794 --> 00:29:25,794 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's her signature's signature thing. 683 00:29:25,954 --> 00:29:29,074 Speaker 1: Black a signature color. So maybe thinking about what is 684 00:29:29,114 --> 00:29:32,274 Speaker 1: your signature color or is it signature look like Mark 685 00:29:32,354 --> 00:29:37,674 Speaker 1: Zuckerberg or Steve Jobs just turtle neck, yeah, and be 686 00:29:37,874 --> 00:29:41,034 Speaker 1: okay with having that look and owning it. Yeah, And 687 00:29:41,074 --> 00:29:43,034 Speaker 1: I think that's all right, and that'll be it'll be 688 00:29:43,114 --> 00:29:45,434 Speaker 1: more affordable. You could just have the same couple of 689 00:29:45,474 --> 00:29:48,914 Speaker 1: teas or whatnot on rotation and owning a particular style. 690 00:29:49,314 --> 00:29:52,154 Speaker 1: I think it's a nice way to have a capsule 691 00:29:52,234 --> 00:29:53,874 Speaker 1: wardrobe on a tight budget.
