Now, I'm not going to 0:01:36.105 --> 0:01:38.385 ask you some personal fashion questions because we've got a 0:01:38.425 --> 0:01:40.505 lot to cover and we've got a question from a 0:01:40.545 --> 0:01:42.865 nothing to Wear listener that we're going to help with 0:01:43.025 --> 0:01:46.065 lots of little tips, tricks and hacks.

What do you suggest? Now, Look, 0:01:55.465 --> 0:01:57.945 we can't really answer that in one fell swoop because 0:01:57.945 --> 0:01:59.865 we don't know what she's got what she doesn't. So 0:01:59.905 --> 0:02:05.505 we've just got a whole bunch of little tips, tricks, styling, hacks, methods, approaches. 0:02:05.585 --> 0:02:09.585 So Amelia, I want your first hack slash tip slash method. 0:02:10.185 --> 0:02:14.345 So I really love this Hacket's all about a sleeve garter. 0:02:15.065 --> 0:02:18.505 Okay, a sleeve garter. I'm getting eighties flashbacks. Remind me 0:02:18.625 --> 0:02:20.985 My mum had like kind of like a tiny slinky 0:02:21.025 --> 0:02:22.545 that you've used. What are they? 0:02:22.985 --> 0:02:26.545 Yeah, so you basically use them to gather the sleeves 0:02:26.545 --> 0:02:30.105 of your shirts or your blazers or whatever jacket you 0:02:30.185 --> 0:02:33.545 might have that's really bulky and has a lot of fabric. 0:02:34.105 --> 0:02:37.105 And it's just a really great way to not only 0:02:37.545 --> 0:02:39.785 get rid of all of that bulky fabric, but it 0:02:39.825 --> 0:02:42.345 can also help you elevate your outfits as well give 0:02:42.345 --> 0:02:43.465 you a little bit of definition. 0:02:43.905 --> 0:02:45.825 How do you put it on so you can't see it? 0:02:45.865 --> 0:02:48.145 Do you kind of hide it in the fabric when 0:02:48.185 --> 0:02:50.225 you scrunch it up, or so you just. 0:02:50.185 --> 0:02:53.545 Put it over your sleeves and then you just pull 0:02:53.665 --> 0:02:56.945 up put your sleeve and gather them around your elbow. 0:02:57.185 --> 0:03:00.185 And I wear lots of boxy blazers and it's just 0:03:00.185 --> 0:03:02.865 a lovely way to create a little bit more definition 0:03:02.945 --> 0:03:03.505 and shapes. 0:03:03.945 --> 0:03:06.345 And I think that comes to the difference between wearing 0:03:06.385 --> 0:03:08.385 your clothes and styling your clothes, which is a lot 0:03:08.425 --> 0:03:10.465 of what we're about to talk about, the difference between 0:03:10.505 --> 0:03:12.625 getting dressed and then styling, and it's pretty much the 0:03:12.665 --> 0:03:15.705 same items. It's just those little shushes, right, Yes, Okay, 0:03:15.705 --> 0:03:16.945 I'm going to get a pair of those, because at 0:03:16.945 --> 0:03:19.865 the moment, I'm just constantly pushing mine up. My first 0:03:19.865 --> 0:03:21.905 one is to do with panty liners, and I've sort 0:03:21.945 --> 0:03:24.465 of shed this a little bit in the past, but 0:03:24.585 --> 0:03:28.185 panty liners are the unsung hero of your wardrobe. So 0:03:28.585 --> 0:03:32.065 coming into spring, you might be wearing a lightweight trench 0:03:32.265 --> 0:03:35.225 or a blazer, or even a lightweight cardigan or a 0:03:35.265 --> 0:03:37.465 knit or whatever, but then you've got a tank underneath. 0:03:37.545 --> 0:03:39.505 You get a bit shitzy. You're running around and you 0:03:39.545 --> 0:03:41.945 don't want to wash those items all the time. So 0:03:42.145 --> 0:03:44.105 I just get a panty liner, and I use the 0:03:44.145 --> 0:03:46.625 sticky side and I stick it into the armpit of 0:03:46.665 --> 0:03:49.705 whatever that item is, and then it doesn't get shitzy. 0:03:50.185 --> 0:03:52.625 You don't really need to launder it until maybe you 0:03:52.665 --> 0:03:54.785 spill something on it. It's just like a little protection 0:03:55.065 --> 0:03:58.025 for your armpit area of whatever that top is. And 0:03:58.665 --> 0:04:01.825 another panty liner trick that I taught myself last minute. 0:04:01.865 --> 0:04:04.185 The other night, I was wearing some cool sheer stockings. 0:04:04.225 --> 0:04:06.625 You knoww stockings are cool, but then I was wearing 0:04:06.705 --> 0:04:09.505 a pump and the slippery stockings in the pump, I 0:04:09.705 --> 0:04:11.625 couldn't hold the shoes on there were slip sliding all 0:04:11.665 --> 0:04:14.545 over the place. So I stuck a panting liner into 0:04:14.585 --> 0:04:18.545 the inner sole of my shoes and no more slipping. 0:04:18.585 --> 0:04:19.985 And if the shoes are a little bit big, use 0:04:20.025 --> 0:04:20.665 a thicker pad. 0:04:21.465 --> 0:04:22.625 Mind blown pad? 0:04:22.665 --> 0:04:24.465 Two liners? Who line? 0:04:24.625 --> 0:04:25.385 Was that versatile? 0:04:26.025 --> 0:04:27.305 All right? What's your next one? 0:04:27.665 --> 0:04:31.225 So this is more like a styling method to simplify. 0:04:31.385 --> 0:04:33.265 I love a method, Yes, hit me. 0:04:33.545 --> 0:04:36.665 I actually posted one of these formulas on my social 0:04:36.665 --> 0:04:39.025 media other day and it went off. So this one 0:04:39.145 --> 0:04:42.945 is called the two by two outfit formula, pairing two 0:04:42.985 --> 0:04:46.705 casual pieces and two dressier pieces together. So I think 0:04:47.025 --> 0:04:51.465 about your blazer being a dressy piece, some heels they're 0:04:51.545 --> 0:04:53.705 a dressy piece, and then a casual piece would be 0:04:53.905 --> 0:04:57.425 a white tea and then indigo blue denim. 0:04:57.225 --> 0:04:59.585 Jets, yes, or even and this is a bit advance. 0:04:59.625 --> 0:05:02.065 But tracksuit pants, Like I'm loving tracksuit pants with a 0:05:02.105 --> 0:05:06.105 blazer and a sandal or a heel. So it's not 0:05:06.185 --> 0:05:10.625 stuff you'd necessarily think work, but because they're too dressy 0:05:10.665 --> 0:05:13.265 and then too casual kind of just could take you anywhere. 0:05:13.665 --> 0:05:17.745 Yes, And it's really the definition of smart casual as well. 0:05:17.865 --> 0:05:20.505 Yes, now that I host this podcast, I do that 0:05:20.585 --> 0:05:22.505 a lot more. But I used to think fancy top 0:05:22.585 --> 0:05:25.305 must be for fancy occasion, but now I'm like, hang on, 0:05:25.985 --> 0:05:28.145 how can I wear my things more? And it's putting 0:05:28.145 --> 0:05:31.705 a fancy top with super casual whatever or vice versa. Okay, 0:05:31.745 --> 0:05:36.025 my next one is weird, but stick with me. So 0:05:36.265 --> 0:05:38.385 a lot of us have cross body bags but might 0:05:38.425 --> 0:05:40.945 also have the little carry handles. I've got a few 0:05:40.985 --> 0:05:44.545 bags like this. Take your crossbody strap off. It depends 0:05:44.545 --> 0:05:46.385 on how thick your strap is, but I'm talking like 0:05:46.505 --> 0:05:49.665 the general width of a regular belt. Take the strap off, 0:05:50.105 --> 0:05:52.825 and then you use it as a belt in your 0:05:52.905 --> 0:05:55.185 jeans or your pants. And the way you do that 0:05:55.265 --> 0:05:57.385 is you clip it first at the sort of side 0:05:57.625 --> 0:06:00.065 and then around and around until you clip it at 0:06:00.065 --> 0:06:01.745 the other side because it's usually going to be too 0:06:01.865 --> 0:06:05.465 long or you kind of tight, and belt it over 0:06:05.505 --> 0:06:07.705 a trench or a coat and it looks so cool. 0:06:07.745 --> 0:06:09.505 And then you've got a matching accessory, which is your 0:06:09.505 --> 0:06:12.225 bet that automatically matches your bag, whether it's a little 0:06:12.225 --> 0:06:14.745 handlebag or a clutch. So it's a good way to 0:06:14.785 --> 0:06:17.025 turn your crossbody into a more dressy bag and then 0:06:17.065 --> 0:06:19.385 have a matching accessory out of one item. 0:06:19.945 --> 0:06:21.905 I love this. I've never heard of that before, so 0:06:21.985 --> 0:06:23.025 I'm going to try that. 0:06:23.065 --> 0:06:24.665 I'm going to have to show some of these on Instagram, 0:06:24.705 --> 0:06:26.745 I think, because I've got a few crossbody bags that 0:06:26.745 --> 0:06:28.305 that could work with. So I people are like, what 0:06:28.345 --> 0:06:30.545 does she mean? We'll have to show you. Or just 0:06:30.585 --> 0:06:32.425 if you've got, you know, a great red crossbody and 0:06:32.465 --> 0:06:34.465 you want a red belt, just take the handle off 0:06:34.505 --> 0:06:37.145 and use the belt phenius. I've done that with chain 0:06:37.265 --> 0:06:39.025 ones as well. But you've got a chain strap on 0:06:39.065 --> 0:06:41.185 your bag, whack it around your waist all make an 0:06:41.185 --> 0:06:42.745 accessory out of it, whack it around your neck. 0:06:42.945 --> 0:06:43.425 Perfect. 0:06:43.665 --> 0:06:45.425 Okay, what's yours next? 0:06:45.745 --> 0:06:49.705 So this one's for all of my petit ladies out there. 0:06:49.705 --> 0:06:52.825 And when I say petite, I'm talking about anyone who 0:06:52.945 --> 0:06:58.065 is under say five four or five three, which is me. 0:06:58.825 --> 0:07:03.305 Somebody like me. I'm always looking to elongate my silhouette 0:07:03.305 --> 0:07:05.905 and look a tad taller than I usually end yep. 0:07:05.985 --> 0:07:09.305 So one tip that I have is to create the 0:07:09.665 --> 0:07:14.105 illusion of height by wearing tonal dressing, so wearing something 0:07:14.305 --> 0:07:17.785 head to toe, so it could be beige and beige 0:07:17.905 --> 0:07:20.905 or black and black or whatever your color that you 0:07:21.065 --> 0:07:24.705 like to wear, and you can do monochrome base lanth, 0:07:24.705 --> 0:07:27.945 so you can add something over the top, so laser 0:07:28.025 --> 0:07:31.825 over a top and a pant because you've got the 0:07:31.905 --> 0:07:35.825 inner base. Okay, tonal is still going to give you 0:07:35.905 --> 0:07:37.065 that illusion of length. 0:07:37.185 --> 0:07:39.305 Sometimes I've done that and it works, and then sometimes 0:07:39.305 --> 0:07:41.065 it looks like I'm trying to wear a set, but 0:07:41.105 --> 0:07:43.785 it's not obviously a matching set, Like do you think 0:07:43.825 --> 0:07:46.505 there needs to be I don't know if there's a 0:07:46.545 --> 0:07:48.745 method of like making sure that people don't think, oh, 0:07:48.865 --> 0:07:51.025 she put on the wrong gray top with those gray pants. 0:07:51.145 --> 0:07:54.225 You can add different textures as well, and it doesn't 0:07:54.265 --> 0:07:56.865 have to be satin on satin for example. 0:07:57.345 --> 0:07:59.265 Yes, I agree. And then it's more like you've got 0:07:59.265 --> 0:08:01.305 maybe like a little bouclet miniskirt and then a white 0:08:01.345 --> 0:08:04.025 tea and white sneakers or something. I love that and 0:08:04.065 --> 0:08:05.705 it just makes getting dressed so much easier. You're just 0:08:05.745 --> 0:08:08.425 looking for your white stuff or your beige stuff. Yeah, okay, 0:08:08.465 --> 0:08:11.065 this is another visual one, so stick with me while 0:08:11.065 --> 0:08:15.265 I try and describe it. I'm loving high waisted skirts 0:08:15.265 --> 0:08:18.145 at the moment, I'm loving high waisted jeans, but there's 0:08:18.185 --> 0:08:20.825 a lot of tucking in and then sometimes depending on 0:08:20.825 --> 0:08:23.065 the length of your tea or your tank or whatever, 0:08:23.305 --> 0:08:25.345 there can be a lot of fabric. Also, I wee 0:08:25.705 --> 0:08:29.145 a lot, so then I am taking and tucking tuk 0:08:29.185 --> 0:08:31.305 tuk tuck. It's annoying. So I've got some longer T 0:08:31.465 --> 0:08:33.465 shirts that I actually want to wear as a crop 0:08:33.625 --> 0:08:36.025 or when I say crop, the appearance of it tucked 0:08:36.065 --> 0:08:38.865 into a high waisted skirt or jeans or pants. So 0:08:38.945 --> 0:08:41.985 instead of actually tucking, get those little little hair elastics, 0:08:42.065 --> 0:08:44.025 like almost the ones you wore on your braces, or 0:08:44.105 --> 0:08:46.905 just a small thin hair elastic, and each side of 0:08:46.905 --> 0:08:48.905 the tee you tie it around to make a little 0:08:48.985 --> 0:08:51.985 bit of fabric. You then tuck it under and sort 0:08:51.985 --> 0:08:54.345 of flounce it over, and it looks like it's tucked 0:08:54.345 --> 0:08:56.865 into your jeans or your skirt, but it's not, so 0:08:56.905 --> 0:09:00.465 it's not adding bulky fabric underneath your bottoms. And also 0:09:00.505 --> 0:09:02.425 then when you need to WII, you can just take 0:09:02.425 --> 0:09:04.385 your pants down or lift your skirt up and you're 0:09:04.425 --> 0:09:06.505 not trying to tuck everything back in again. And then 0:09:06.505 --> 0:09:08.345 on occasion a girlfriend's like, have you got hair elastic? 0:09:08.385 --> 0:09:11.025 And I'm like, well, I do holding up my top 0:09:11.065 --> 0:09:13.345 at the moment. But it's a great way to tuck 0:09:13.385 --> 0:09:15.985 things in or try a cropped or tucked look without 0:09:16.025 --> 0:09:18.185 having to buy a whole different bunch of tops that 0:09:18.225 --> 0:09:19.545 are different lengths. 0:09:19.785 --> 0:09:20.545 Oh, I love that. 0:09:31.145 --> 0:09:32.865 What else have you got for me? This is fun. 0:09:33.345 --> 0:09:37.465 I like my wardrobe to work hard for me, so 0:09:38.265 --> 0:09:40.465 I like to think how else can I wear something? 0:09:40.665 --> 0:09:44.905 So this little hack is where I take my belts 0:09:44.905 --> 0:09:49.225 that I usually wear on save my pants, for example, 0:09:49.545 --> 0:09:52.625 but I will belt them around my blazer. 0:09:53.505 --> 0:09:57.105 Yes. Else, I love this look. I always forget to 0:09:57.145 --> 0:09:59.385 do it, but it looks so stylish. 0:09:59.665 --> 0:10:03.305 Yes, And it's just a great way to amper your outfit. 0:10:03.505 --> 0:10:06.705 So you could go literally desk in the office with 0:10:06.745 --> 0:10:10.425 a blazer and then unbuton it and and then add 0:10:10.465 --> 0:10:13.545 your belt in the evening over the top of your blazer, 0:10:13.625 --> 0:10:15.265 and then you've got a completely different look. 0:10:15.545 --> 0:10:17.745 I love that. I got a pair. They're on sale 0:10:17.745 --> 0:10:19.985 of Camilla and Mark. Really cool jeans. They're like a 0:10:20.065 --> 0:10:23.465 foresty car key and the genes themselves came with a 0:10:23.465 --> 0:10:26.105 fabric little tie. And then I saw someone much cooler 0:10:26.145 --> 0:10:28.465 than me on Instagram wear the jeans that then put 0:10:28.505 --> 0:10:30.585 on a blazer and then use the tie from the 0:10:30.665 --> 0:10:33.705 jeans around the blazer again same color as the jeans 0:10:33.905 --> 0:10:38.025 I copied. You and I are both not really extremely tall, 0:10:38.065 --> 0:10:41.065 so this is a really clever little trick, particularly for 0:10:41.105 --> 0:10:42.945 Maxi dresses. But also if your dress is just a 0:10:42.945 --> 0:10:45.305 bit of a weird length, check on your Maxi dress. 0:10:45.345 --> 0:10:46.825 It's too long, and what I normally do when I'm 0:10:46.865 --> 0:10:48.705 running around after my son is tucking it into my 0:10:48.785 --> 0:10:51.545 undies so I don't drip over, which is not that stylish. 0:10:51.905 --> 0:10:54.425 So you can use a shoelace, or you can also 0:10:54.505 --> 0:10:56.185 just use a length of elastic, which you can pick 0:10:56.265 --> 0:10:59.345 up from Spotlight for two bucks, tied around your waist. 0:10:59.505 --> 0:11:01.945 It's very subtle, but you very subtly kind of pulled 0:11:01.945 --> 0:11:04.305 the fabric over the elastic and sort of flounce it out. 0:11:04.865 --> 0:11:07.065 You can't see it too much. It kind of just 0:11:07.065 --> 0:11:10.025 gives the illusion of almost a skirt and top set, 0:11:10.545 --> 0:11:13.305 and then you can kind of customize where that dress falls, 0:11:13.305 --> 0:11:16.225 whether it's a Maxi that's touching the floor or a 0:11:16.305 --> 0:11:18.625 Meati that's just an awkward length, or I do have 0:11:18.705 --> 0:11:20.625 a mini dress. I mean I never want my mini 0:11:20.705 --> 0:11:22.785 dresses to be extra short. Anyway, it looks like it 0:11:22.825 --> 0:11:24.425 needs tailoring, but I'm like, eh, I'm not going to 0:11:24.465 --> 0:11:26.185 get a tailor. So I just tied a little bit 0:11:26.185 --> 0:11:28.985 of elastick flounced it over, depends on the fabric, but 0:11:29.025 --> 0:11:31.665 that one is actually sequenced and it still worked. And 0:11:31.705 --> 0:11:33.665 then it just kind of shortens it, and then you've 0:11:33.705 --> 0:11:35.625 still got the dress at the original length. Should you 0:11:35.665 --> 0:11:37.825 want to know, add a heel or wear it differently, 0:11:38.385 --> 0:11:41.545 But it's just a way to shorten things without sewing 0:11:41.625 --> 0:11:42.225 or tailoring. 0:11:43.105 --> 0:11:46.425 Love that and being a fellow short person myself. 0:11:46.505 --> 0:11:49.825 Yes, I'm constantly googling queer how do I make something 0:11:49.825 --> 0:11:52.705 shorter without cutting it? What else have you got? 0:11:53.185 --> 0:11:57.145 Sticking with the theme of belts, is you know how 0:11:57.185 --> 0:11:59.905 sometimes you have a loose flap of your belt if 0:11:59.945 --> 0:12:01.945 it doesn't go all the way into. 0:12:01.985 --> 0:12:04.825 The next loop. Yes, this drives me mad. 0:12:05.385 --> 0:12:09.025 So I use double sided fashion tape. 0:12:09.105 --> 0:12:11.905 Oh my gosh, that is the smartest thing I've ever 0:12:11.985 --> 0:12:14.545 heard of. I have tried bobby pins, but then they 0:12:14.585 --> 0:12:15.385 go flying off. 0:12:15.785 --> 0:12:18.185 Yes, and I do this all the time. 0:12:18.545 --> 0:12:20.745 I am just thinking of all the sad belts that 0:12:20.785 --> 0:12:22.825 I've cut and ruined that I could have just stuck 0:12:22.865 --> 0:12:25.425 it to itself, because then I've also tried to do 0:12:25.465 --> 0:12:27.705 that cool girl, loopy naughty thing, and then it just 0:12:27.745 --> 0:12:29.145 looks weird and flies out. 0:12:29.585 --> 0:12:33.305 Well, sometimes the leather might be too stiff to do that. Yes, 0:12:33.945 --> 0:12:36.025 is a really good way just to stick it down. 0:12:36.225 --> 0:12:38.305 I love that so much. Oh my god, you're blowing 0:12:38.305 --> 0:12:42.145 my mind. Okay, So layering necklaces is huge, and thankfully 0:12:42.185 --> 0:12:45.345 you can buy some molten layered necklaces. The work is 0:12:45.345 --> 0:12:47.385 done for you. There's just one class. When there's two 0:12:47.465 --> 0:12:50.065 or three or four chains hanging, that looks very cool. 0:12:50.105 --> 0:12:52.705 But a lot of us, me included, have some beautiful 0:12:52.745 --> 0:12:54.785 necklaces I love at home and would love to layer. 0:12:54.825 --> 0:12:57.465 But they're all the same length. Put them both on 0:12:57.465 --> 0:13:00.305 one and then two, and then flip them around so 0:13:00.465 --> 0:13:02.345 both of the class are at the front, just so 0:13:02.425 --> 0:13:04.665 you can work without having to be a flip top head. 0:13:05.185 --> 0:13:10.385 Then undo them both and then relink each class to 0:13:10.465 --> 0:13:13.985 the link of the other necklace. Then if you turn 0:13:14.025 --> 0:13:16.665 them both back around and pull them down, they're going 0:13:16.705 --> 0:13:19.385 to be two different lengths. And also it kind of 0:13:19.385 --> 0:13:22.345 stops them from tangling because they're now joined to the 0:13:22.425 --> 0:13:24.105 other one, so it's not going to not up at 0:13:24.105 --> 0:13:25.505 the back. Does that make sense. 0:13:25.825 --> 0:13:28.105 Mind blown. Yes, I'm going to buy this one too. 0:13:28.225 --> 0:13:29.985 I am going to try and work out how to 0:13:30.025 --> 0:13:31.945 add a third. It's a bit like juggling. Everyone can 0:13:32.025 --> 0:13:34.145 juggle to but when you chuck in a third. But 0:13:34.185 --> 0:13:37.105 it definitely makes two necklaces sit just that beautiful kind 0:13:37.105 --> 0:13:39.425 of distance from each other without having to go buy 0:13:39.425 --> 0:13:41.305 more accessories. What else you got? 0:13:42.105 --> 0:13:47.025 I have got a tip for wearing oversized. So I 0:13:47.105 --> 0:13:49.425 call this a bit of a hat because there's a 0:13:49.465 --> 0:13:52.905 lot of oversized garments going around at the moment. The 0:13:52.985 --> 0:13:58.465 key to wearing oversize is to wear one piece oversized 0:13:58.505 --> 0:14:01.665 and one piece that is more fitted, just as balance 0:14:01.745 --> 0:14:04.305 your silhouette. Because I know have a lot of clients 0:14:04.305 --> 0:14:06.425 that come to me and they say they really want 0:14:06.425 --> 0:14:09.625 to wear a cheap oversized blazer, but it feels like 0:14:09.825 --> 0:14:11.905 there's just so much fabric and it wears. 0:14:11.665 --> 0:14:14.945 Them because it comes down to proportions, doesn't it. Yes, 0:14:15.185 --> 0:14:17.985 I've fallen into this trap because I love oversized wide 0:14:18.025 --> 0:14:19.905 leg pants. Wide leg jeans are having a moment, so 0:14:20.025 --> 0:14:22.905 are oversized blazeres and oversized shirts. But sometimes I put 0:14:22.905 --> 0:14:24.545 it all on together and I look like a little 0:14:24.585 --> 0:14:27.225 girl wearing her dad's clothes. She's it best to be 0:14:27.505 --> 0:14:29.345 oversized on the top or the bottom, or it doesn't 0:14:29.345 --> 0:14:32.025 really matter as long as you're taking in proportions altogether. 0:14:32.585 --> 0:14:35.265 Yeah, it's all about taking in proportions. So if you're 0:14:35.305 --> 0:14:38.945 going to wear palazzo wide leg kind of pants, you 0:14:39.025 --> 0:14:41.505 might want to wear something a little bit more fitted 0:14:41.585 --> 0:14:43.985 on the top. And fitted doesn't mean it has to 0:14:44.025 --> 0:14:47.665 be skin tight. It just could be like a tea 0:14:47.745 --> 0:14:49.145 for example, but tucked in. 0:14:49.905 --> 0:14:54.505 Okay, my next one is one word, and I want 0:14:54.505 --> 0:14:57.825 to get better at it. Sunglasses. Honestly, if I'm wearing 0:14:57.985 --> 0:15:02.305 my daggiest leggings and sneakers and running around as soon 0:15:02.345 --> 0:15:05.025 as I put Sonny's on, it looks more intentional. It 0:15:05.065 --> 0:15:07.705 looks like I'm trying to be casual cool. I have 0:15:07.785 --> 0:15:10.985 thirty pairs of sunglasses. Really, is there a pair in 0:15:11.025 --> 0:15:13.465 my handbag or in my car? But if you have 0:15:13.505 --> 0:15:15.345 not had time to get ready and you're running out 0:15:15.345 --> 0:15:17.065 of the house, I mean, unless you're go to the movies, 0:15:17.385 --> 0:15:20.425 grab a pair of Sonnies. It immediately just says that 0:15:20.505 --> 0:15:22.105 you put in a bit of effort. Even if from 0:15:22.105 --> 0:15:25.825 the neck down you didn't hide sleepless nights. I know 0:15:25.945 --> 0:15:28.585 you love sonnies and I love sunnies too, but I 0:15:28.625 --> 0:15:31.425 forget to wear them. How do you remember to wear them? 0:15:31.465 --> 0:15:34.105 And how do you incorporate sunglasses into your personal style? 0:15:34.425 --> 0:15:38.665 I have sunglasses for every single kind of outfit. 0:15:38.545 --> 0:15:40.665 But do you pack them? Do you remember to grab them? 0:15:40.905 --> 0:15:44.905 I have a display shelf with all of my sunglasses 0:15:44.945 --> 0:15:47.545 so I can see what I have to work with it. 0:15:47.705 --> 0:15:50.065 Like any of your clothes, if they're packed away and 0:15:50.105 --> 0:15:52.945 you can't see them, they're kind of forgotten about. 0:15:53.505 --> 0:15:55.945 And maybe do you have like a pair or two 0:15:55.985 --> 0:15:58.865 of classics in your everyday handbag or in your car, 0:15:59.025 --> 0:16:00.745 because that's it, Like, what are they doing up in 0:16:00.745 --> 0:16:03.625 my bedroom? If I've got a set that's in my car, 0:16:04.145 --> 0:16:07.025 I'm more likely to wear them that smart. It's such 0:16:07.065 --> 0:16:09.825 a simple one and very good for your eyes. We 0:16:09.945 --> 0:16:11.625 just need to remember to do it. What else have 0:16:11.665 --> 0:16:12.025 you got? 0:16:12.265 --> 0:16:16.945 So I've got another hack for wearing cross body bags. 0:16:17.225 --> 0:16:19.185 So a lot of the time when you go and 0:16:19.225 --> 0:16:23.505 buy a cross body bag, the strap placement might be really, 0:16:23.545 --> 0:16:28.545 really long, and generally they're not being adjusted. So I 0:16:28.585 --> 0:16:30.665 see a lot of women and it's no fault of 0:16:30.705 --> 0:16:35.545 their own. Is wearing really long cross body bags hanging 0:16:35.785 --> 0:16:41.345 below the hip, and if you're a hippie person like myself, 0:16:41.705 --> 0:16:44.505 what it can do. It can add more volume and 0:16:44.625 --> 0:16:48.625 accentuate that area. Yes, So what you can do is 0:16:48.665 --> 0:16:51.705 slightly adjust the strap above your hip. 0:16:51.905 --> 0:16:53.985 Yes, so it sits kind of in that curve. 0:16:54.625 --> 0:16:57.905 Yeah, and it really will change up the proportions of 0:16:57.945 --> 0:16:59.305 your whole silhouette. 0:16:59.425 --> 0:17:01.185 The other day, I was wearing one of my crossbodies 0:17:01.185 --> 0:17:03.385 and because I like to like swivel it around almost 0:17:03.385 --> 0:17:05.385 on my bum, because if I'm wearing a crossbody, I 0:17:05.425 --> 0:17:08.305 mean business, I'm walking, I'm using my arms, and it 0:17:08.345 --> 0:17:10.945 was just flap flat, flap flat flat. I spanking my 0:17:11.025 --> 0:17:13.545 balm this bag and I was like, oh, hooked it 0:17:13.625 --> 0:17:15.505 up a bit, and then it just didn't annoy me. 0:17:16.105 --> 0:17:18.185 But so often we forget that often a lot of 0:17:18.185 --> 0:17:20.745 things are adjustable in that way and we just accept it. 0:17:20.945 --> 0:17:23.785 And if you're traveling as well and you want a 0:17:23.785 --> 0:17:26.625 little bit more security with your bag having it. 0:17:26.785 --> 0:17:29.105 Oh big time. Yeah, you don't want it yet, and 0:17:29.145 --> 0:17:31.465 definitely wear it more to the front. Okay, onto the 0:17:31.785 --> 0:17:34.105 too long thing again, because I think you would wire 0:17:34.185 --> 0:17:38.145 in the same boat I have so many beautiful tanks 0:17:38.305 --> 0:17:41.905 or crops some addresses. Some are casual, but they're too long, 0:17:42.025 --> 0:17:44.305 or I don't like how they flow down the bottom, 0:17:44.385 --> 0:17:46.305 or they just don't work with the outfit, because again, 0:17:46.345 --> 0:17:49.545 we're wearing more high waisted things than ever before. So 0:17:49.865 --> 0:17:51.985 you've got a tank that's too long, or a singular 0:17:52.065 --> 0:17:53.785 top that's too long. What I want you to do 0:17:53.825 --> 0:17:56.025 is you put it on and then you fold it 0:17:56.065 --> 0:17:58.785 all the way down so it's kind of inside out, 0:17:59.105 --> 0:18:01.625 and your straps are hanging down near where your pockets 0:18:01.625 --> 0:18:03.785 would be, so you've kind of got it on as 0:18:03.785 --> 0:18:07.425 a boob tube, but it's inside out. Stick with me. 0:18:07.865 --> 0:18:10.345 Then you're getting your strapless brah. You put strapless bra 0:18:10.545 --> 0:18:13.705 on over the fabric right, and then you reach down, 0:18:13.865 --> 0:18:16.105 pick up your straps and put it back on, and 0:18:16.185 --> 0:18:19.425 it's now a cropped tank or a shorter tank. And 0:18:19.465 --> 0:18:21.425 depending on how much fabric you've got to play with, 0:18:21.505 --> 0:18:23.985 if it was way too long or if you're quite short, 0:18:24.585 --> 0:18:26.545 you can still get it to sit sort of at 0:18:26.585 --> 0:18:28.265 your waist or a little bit lower, and then wear 0:18:28.265 --> 0:18:31.145 it with jeans or skirts, and again you can weed 0:18:31.225 --> 0:18:34.505 better and easier, and you're not tucking it in and 0:18:34.545 --> 0:18:36.705 it just kind of turns a really long top that 0:18:36.745 --> 0:18:38.905 you might not have been wearing because of the length 0:18:39.065 --> 0:18:42.345 and what you wanted to style with into a shorter tank. 0:18:42.705 --> 0:18:43.865 Love that, Love it. 0:18:43.705 --> 0:18:45.665 It's just about getting more use out of the things 0:18:45.705 --> 0:18:48.545 you've already got right, exactly anything else. 0:18:49.025 --> 0:18:52.945 We're still in sweater weather in Victoria. Yeah, but I've 0:18:52.945 --> 0:18:56.705 got to tip for if you want to wear a 0:18:56.745 --> 0:19:00.185 sweater or a cardigan and add a little bit more 0:19:00.225 --> 0:19:05.185
