It's all about a 52 00:02:46,225 --> 00:02:47,025 Speaker 3: sleeve garter. 53 00:02:47,745 --> 00:02:51,225 Speaker 2: Okay, a sleeve garter. I'm getting eighties flashbacks. Remind me 54 00:02:51,345 --> 00:02:53,665 Speaker 2: my mum had like kind of like a tiny slinky 55 00:02:53,745 --> 00:02:54,465 Speaker 2: that you used. 56 00:02:54,625 --> 00:02:55,225 Speaker 1: What are they? 57 00:02:55,705 --> 00:02:59,225 Speaker 3: Yeah, so you basically use them to gather the sleeves 58 00:02:59,265 --> 00:03:02,785 Speaker 3: of your shirts or your blazers or whatever jacket you 59 00:03:02,865 --> 00:03:06,185 Speaker 3: might have that's really bulky and has a lot of fabric, 60 00:03:06,785 --> 00:03:09,585 Speaker 3: And it's just a really great way to not ownly 61 00:03:10,265 --> 00:03:12,465 Speaker 3: get rid of all of that bulky fabric. But it 62 00:03:12,505 --> 00:03:15,025 Speaker 3: can also help you elevate your outfits as well, give 63 00:03:15,025 --> 00:03:16,145 Speaker 3: you a little bit of definition. 64 00:03:16,625 --> 00:03:18,505 Speaker 2: How do you put it on so you can't see it? 65 00:03:18,545 --> 00:03:20,865 Speaker 2: Do you kind of hide it in the fabric when 66 00:03:20,865 --> 00:03:21,905 Speaker 2: you scrunch it up. 67 00:03:21,865 --> 00:03:25,105 Speaker 3: Or so you just put it over your sleeves and 68 00:03:25,185 --> 00:03:27,905 Speaker 3: then you just pull up put your sleeve and gather 69 00:03:27,985 --> 00:03:31,945 Speaker 3: them around your elbow. And I wear lots of boxy 70 00:03:31,945 --> 00:03:34,505 Speaker 3: blazers and it's just a lovely way to create a 71 00:03:34,505 --> 00:03:36,305 Speaker 3: little bit more definition and shapes. 72 00:03:36,665 --> 00:03:39,065 Speaker 2: And I think that comes to the difference between wearing 73 00:03:39,065 --> 00:03:41,105 Speaker 2: your clothes and styling your clothes, which is a lot 74 00:03:41,105 --> 00:03:42,905 Speaker 2: of what we're about to talk about. There's a difference 75 00:03:42,905 --> 00:03:45,265 Speaker 2: between getting dressed and then styling, and it's pretty much 76 00:03:45,265 --> 00:03:48,385 Speaker 2: the same items. It's just those little shushes, right, Yes, Okay, 77 00:03:48,385 --> 00:03:49,625 Speaker 2: I'm going to get a pair of those, because at 78 00:03:49,665 --> 00:03:52,545 Speaker 2: the moment, I'm just constantly pushing mine up. My first 79 00:03:52,545 --> 00:03:54,625 Speaker 2: one is to do with panty liners, and I've sort 80 00:03:54,625 --> 00:03:57,145 Speaker 2: of shed this a little bit in the past, but 81 00:03:57,265 --> 00:04:00,905 Speaker 2: panty liners are the unsung hero of your wardrobe. So 82 00:04:01,265 --> 00:04:04,745 Speaker 2: coming into spring, you might be wearing a lightweight trench 83 00:04:04,945 --> 00:04:07,905 Speaker 2: or a blazer, or even a lightweight cardigan or a 84 00:04:07,985 --> 00:04:10,105 Speaker 2: nitch or whatever, but then you've got a tank underneath. 85 00:04:10,225 --> 00:04:11,145 Speaker 1: You get a bit shitzy. 86 00:04:11,145 --> 00:04:13,105 Speaker 2: You're running around and you don't want to wash those 87 00:04:13,105 --> 00:04:15,905 Speaker 2: items all the time. So I just get a panty 88 00:04:15,945 --> 00:04:18,145 Speaker 2: liner and I use the sticky side and I stick 89 00:04:18,185 --> 00:04:21,105 Speaker 2: it into the armpit of whatever that item is, and 90 00:04:21,145 --> 00:04:23,865 Speaker 2: then it doesn't get shitzy. You don't really need to 91 00:04:23,905 --> 00:04:26,385 Speaker 2: launder it until maybe you spill something on it. It's 92 00:04:26,385 --> 00:04:28,865 Speaker 2: just like a little protection for your armpit area of 93 00:04:28,905 --> 00:04:32,905 Speaker 2: whatever that top is. And another panty liner trick that 94 00:04:32,985 --> 00:04:35,225 Speaker 2: I taught myself last minute. The other night, I was 95 00:04:35,265 --> 00:04:38,105 Speaker 2: wearing some cool sheer stockings. You know, stockings are cool, 96 00:04:38,385 --> 00:04:41,385 Speaker 2: But then I was wearing a pump and the slippery 97 00:04:41,385 --> 00:04:43,305 Speaker 2: stockings and the pump I couldn't hold the shoes on 98 00:04:43,345 --> 00:04:45,625 Speaker 2: there with slip sliding all over the place. So I 99 00:04:45,705 --> 00:04:48,345 Speaker 2: stuck a panty liner into the inner sole of my 100 00:04:48,425 --> 00:04:51,225 Speaker 2: shoes and no more slipping. 101 00:04:51,265 --> 00:04:52,705 Speaker 1: And if the shoes are a little bit big, use 102 00:04:52,705 --> 00:04:53,345 Speaker 1: a thicker pad. 103 00:04:54,145 --> 00:04:55,305 Speaker 3: Mind blowing pad. 104 00:04:55,345 --> 00:04:56,025 Speaker 1: Two liners? 105 00:04:56,105 --> 00:04:58,065 Speaker 3: Who your painty liner? Was that versatile? 106 00:04:58,745 --> 00:05:00,025 Speaker 1: All right? What's your next one? 107 00:05:00,345 --> 00:05:03,945 Speaker 3: So this is more like a styling method to simplify. 108 00:05:04,065 --> 00:05:05,945 Speaker 1: I love a method, Yes hit me. 109 00:05:06,225 --> 00:05:09,305 Speaker 3: I actually posted one of these formulas on my social 110 00:05:09,345 --> 00:05:11,705 Speaker 3: media the day and it went off. So this one 111 00:05:11,825 --> 00:05:15,625 Speaker 3: is called the two by two outfit formula. Pairing two 112 00:05:15,705 --> 00:05:19,425 Speaker 3: casual pieces and two dressier pieces together. So I think 113 00:05:19,705 --> 00:05:24,185 Speaker 3: about your blazer being a dressy piece, some heels they're 114 00:05:24,225 --> 00:05:26,425 Speaker 3: a dressy piece, and then a casual piece would be 115 00:05:26,625 --> 00:05:30,105 Speaker 3: a white tea and then indigo blue denim. 116 00:05:29,905 --> 00:05:32,265 Speaker 2: Jets, yes, or even And this is a bit advance. 117 00:05:32,305 --> 00:05:34,785 Speaker 2: But tracksuit pants, Like, I'm loving tracksuit pants with a 118 00:05:34,825 --> 00:05:38,785 Speaker 2: blazer and a sandal or a heel. So it's not 119 00:05:38,865 --> 00:05:43,305 Speaker 2: stuff you'd necessarily think work, but because they're too dressy 120 00:05:43,345 --> 00:05:45,945 Speaker 2: and then too casual kind of just could take you anywhere. 121 00:05:46,345 --> 00:05:50,425 Speaker 3: Yes, and it's really the definition of smart casual as well. 122 00:05:50,545 --> 00:05:53,185 Speaker 2: Yes, now that I host this podcast, I do that 123 00:05:53,305 --> 00:05:55,185 Speaker 2: a lot more. But I used to think fancy top 124 00:05:55,265 --> 00:05:57,985 Speaker 2: must be for fancy occasion, but now I'm like, hang on, 125 00:05:58,705 --> 00:06:00,825 Speaker 2: how could I wear my things more? And it's putting 126 00:06:00,825 --> 00:06:04,385 Speaker 2: a fancy top with super casual whatever or vice versa. Okay, 127 00:06:04,465 --> 00:06:08,705 Speaker 2: my next one is weird, but stick with me. So 128 00:06:08,945 --> 00:06:11,105 Speaker 2: a lot of us have cross body bags but might 129 00:06:11,145 --> 00:06:13,625 Speaker 2: also have the little carry handles. I've got a few 130 00:06:13,665 --> 00:06:17,225 Speaker 2: bags like this. Take your crossbody strap off. It depends 131 00:06:17,265 --> 00:06:18,905 Speaker 2: on how thick you a strap is, but I'm talking 132 00:06:18,985 --> 00:06:21,745 Speaker 2: like the general width of a regular belt, take the 133 00:06:21,785 --> 00:06:24,465 Speaker 2: strap off, and then you use it as a belt 134 00:06:24,785 --> 00:06:27,585 Speaker 2: in your jeans or your pants. And the way you 135 00:06:27,625 --> 00:06:29,425 Speaker 2: do that is you clip it first at the sort 136 00:06:29,465 --> 00:06:32,585 Speaker 2: of side, and then around and around until you clip 137 00:06:32,585 --> 00:06:34,065 Speaker 2: it at the other side because it's usually going to 138 00:06:34,145 --> 00:06:37,825 Speaker 2: be too long, or you kind of tie and belt 139 00:06:37,865 --> 00:06:39,825 Speaker 2: it over a trench or a coat and it looks 140 00:06:39,865 --> 00:06:42,065 Speaker 2: so cool. And then you've got a matching accessory, which 141 00:06:42,105 --> 00:06:44,585 Speaker 2: is your belt that automatically matches your bag, whether it's 142 00:06:44,585 --> 00:06:47,185 Speaker 2: a little handlebag or a clutch. So it's a good 143 00:06:47,185 --> 00:06:49,385 Speaker 2: way to turn your crossbody into a more dressy bag 144 00:06:49,465 --> 00:06:52,105 Speaker 2: and then have a matching accessory out of one item. 145 00:06:52,625 --> 00:06:54,585 Speaker 3: I love this. I've never heard of that before, so 146 00:06:54,705 --> 00:06:55,705 Speaker 3: I'm going to try that. 147 00:06:55,785 --> 00:06:57,385 Speaker 2: I'm going to have to show some of these on Instagram, 148 00:06:57,425 --> 00:06:59,465 Speaker 2: I think, because I've got a few crossbody bags that 149 00:06:59,465 --> 00:07:00,185 Speaker 2: that could work with. 150 00:07:00,265 --> 00:07:02,025 Speaker 1: So people are like, what does she mean? We'll have 151 00:07:02,105 --> 00:07:02,705 Speaker 1: to show you. 152 00:07:02,865 --> 00:07:04,505 Speaker 2: Or just if you've got, you know, a great red 153 00:07:04,545 --> 00:07:06,425 Speaker 2: cross body and you want a red belt, just take 154 00:07:06,465 --> 00:07:09,185 Speaker 2: the handle off and use the belt genius. I've done 155 00:07:09,225 --> 00:07:11,225 Speaker 2: that with ones as well, but you've got a chain 156 00:07:11,305 --> 00:07:13,625 Speaker 2: strap on your bag. Whack it around your waist, all 157 00:07:13,625 --> 00:07:15,425 Speaker 2: make an accessory out of it, wack it around your neck. 158 00:07:15,625 --> 00:07:16,105 Speaker 3: Perfect. 159 00:07:16,345 --> 00:07:18,145 Speaker 1: Okay, what's yours next? 160 00:07:18,425 --> 00:07:22,385 Speaker 3: So this one's for all of my petit ladies out there. 161 00:07:22,425 --> 00:07:25,505 Speaker 3: And when I say petite, I'm talking about anyone who 162 00:07:25,665 --> 00:07:30,465 Speaker 3: is under say five four or five three height, which 163 00:07:30,505 --> 00:07:34,625 Speaker 3: is me, somebody like me. I'm always looking to elongate 164 00:07:35,145 --> 00:07:38,025 Speaker 3: my silhouette and look a tad taller than I usually 165 00:07:38,185 --> 00:07:41,425 Speaker 3: end yep. So one tip that I have is to 166 00:07:41,625 --> 00:07:45,745 Speaker 3: create the illusion of height by wearing tonal dressing. So 167 00:07:45,785 --> 00:07:49,905 Speaker 3: wearing something head to toe, so it could be beige 168 00:07:49,905 --> 00:07:53,185 Speaker 3: and beige or black and black or whatever your color 169 00:07:53,345 --> 00:07:56,705 Speaker 3: that you like to wear. And you can do monochrome 170 00:07:56,785 --> 00:07:59,665 Speaker 3: base lane, so you can add something over the top, 171 00:07:59,985 --> 00:08:03,825 Speaker 3: a blazer over a top, and a pan because you've 172 00:08:03,865 --> 00:08:08,105 Speaker 3: got the inner base. Okay, tonal is still going to 173 00:08:08,225 --> 00:08:09,665 Speaker 3: give you that illusion of lanth. 174 00:08:09,865 --> 00:08:11,985 Speaker 2: Sometimes I've done that and it works, and then sometimes 175 00:08:11,985 --> 00:08:13,745 Speaker 2: it looks like I'm trying to wear a set but 176 00:08:13,785 --> 00:08:16,505 Speaker 2: it's not obviously a matching set. Like do you think 177 00:08:16,545 --> 00:08:19,225 Speaker 2: there needs to be I don't know if there's a 178 00:08:19,225 --> 00:08:21,425 Speaker 2: method of like making sure that people don't think, oh, 179 00:08:21,545 --> 00:08:23,705 Speaker 2: she put on the wrong gray top with those gray pants. 180 00:08:23,825 --> 00:08:26,945 Speaker 3: You can add different textures as well, and it doesn't 181 00:08:26,945 --> 00:08:29,545 Speaker 3: have to be satin on satin for example. 182 00:08:30,025 --> 00:08:30,905 Speaker 1: Yes, I agree. 183 00:08:30,945 --> 00:08:32,305 Speaker 2: And then it's more like you've got maybe like a 184 00:08:32,305 --> 00:08:34,305 Speaker 2: little bouclet mini skirt and then a white tea and 185 00:08:34,345 --> 00:08:36,985 Speaker 2: white sneakers or something. I love that and it just 186 00:08:36,985 --> 00:08:38,665 Speaker 2: makes getting dressed so much easier. You're just looking for 187 00:08:38,745 --> 00:08:41,265 Speaker 2: your white stuff or your beaige stuff. Yeah, okay, this 188 00:08:41,345 --> 00:08:43,825 Speaker 2: is another visual one, so stick with me while I 189 00:08:43,905 --> 00:08:48,105 Speaker 2: try and describe it. I'm loving high waisted skirts at 190 00:08:48,105 --> 00:08:50,945 Speaker 2: the moment. I'm loving high waisted jeans, but there's a 191 00:08:50,945 --> 00:08:53,545 Speaker 2: lot of tucking in and then sometimes depending on the 192 00:08:53,625 --> 00:08:56,145 Speaker 2: length of your tea or your tank or whatever, there 193 00:08:56,145 --> 00:08:58,985 Speaker 2: can be a lot of fabric also. I we are lot, 194 00:08:59,145 --> 00:09:02,265 Speaker 2: so then I am taking and tucking tuk tuk tuk. 195 00:09:02,265 --> 00:09:02,825 Speaker 1: It's annoying. 196 00:09:02,865 --> 00:09:04,945 Speaker 2: So I've got some longer T shirts that I actually 197 00:09:04,945 --> 00:09:07,345 Speaker 2: want to wear as a crop or when I say crop, 198 00:09:07,705 --> 00:09:09,665 Speaker 2: the appearance of it tucked into a high waisted skirt 199 00:09:09,945 --> 00:09:13,105 Speaker 2: or jeans or pants. So instead of actually tucking, get 200 00:09:13,105 --> 00:09:15,585 Speaker 2: those little little hair elastics like almost the ones you 201 00:09:15,585 --> 00:09:17,785 Speaker 2: wore on your braces or just a small thin hair 202 00:09:17,785 --> 00:09:20,665 Speaker 2: elastic and each side of the tee you tie it 203 00:09:20,665 --> 00:09:23,145 Speaker 2: around to make a little bit of fabric. You then 204 00:09:23,305 --> 00:09:25,865 Speaker 2: tuck it under and sort of flounce it over and 205 00:09:25,905 --> 00:09:28,305 Speaker 2: it looks like it's tucked into your jeans or your skirt, 206 00:09:28,345 --> 00:09:31,705 Speaker 2: but it's not, so it's not adding bulky fabric underneath 207 00:09:31,705 --> 00:09:34,185 Speaker 2: your bottoms. And also then when you need to wee, 208 00:09:34,545 --> 00:09:36,385 Speaker 2: you can just take your pants down or lift your 209 00:09:36,425 --> 00:09:38,265 Speaker 2: skirt up and you're not trying to tuck everything back 210 00:09:38,305 --> 00:09:40,305 Speaker 2: in again. And then on occasion a girlfriend's like, have 211 00:09:40,345 --> 00:09:41,665 Speaker 2: you got a hair elastic? And I'm like, well, I 212 00:09:41,705 --> 00:09:44,945 Speaker 2: do holding up my top at the moment. But it's 213 00:09:44,985 --> 00:09:46,905 Speaker 2: a great way to tuck things in or try a 214 00:09:47,025 --> 00:09:49,625 Speaker 2: cropped or tucked look without having to buy a whole 215 00:09:49,665 --> 00:09:50,985 Speaker 2: different bunch of tops that. 216 00:09:50,945 --> 00:09:52,265 Speaker 1: Are different lengths. 217 00:09:52,465 --> 00:09:53,265 Speaker 3: Oh, I love that. 218 00:10:03,825 --> 00:10:05,585 Speaker 1: What else have you got for me? This is fun. 219 00:10:06,025 --> 00:10:10,025 Speaker 3: I like my wardrobe to work hard for me, so 220 00:10:10,945 --> 00:10:13,145 Speaker 3: I like to think how else can I wear something? 221 00:10:13,345 --> 00:10:17,585 Speaker 3: So this little hack is where I take my belts 222 00:10:17,585 --> 00:10:21,905 Speaker 3: that are usually wear on say my pants, for example, 223 00:10:22,225 --> 00:10:25,345 Speaker 3: but I will belt them around my blazer. 224 00:10:26,185 --> 00:10:29,825 Speaker 2: Yes else, I love this look. I always forget to 225 00:10:29,825 --> 00:10:33,065 Speaker 2: do it, but it looks so stylish. 226 00:10:32,345 --> 00:10:36,025 Speaker 3: Yes, and it's just a great way to amper your outfit. 227 00:10:36,225 --> 00:10:39,385 Speaker 3: So you could go literally desk in the office with 228 00:10:39,465 --> 00:10:43,305 Speaker 3: a blazer and then unbuton it and then add your 229 00:10:43,345 --> 00:10:46,265 Speaker 3: belt in the evening over the top of your blazer 230 00:10:46,305 --> 00:10:47,985 Speaker 3: and then you've got a completely different look. 231 00:10:48,225 --> 00:10:50,425 Speaker 2: I love that. I got a pair they're on sale 232 00:10:50,425 --> 00:10:52,665 Speaker 2: of Camilla and Mark, really cool jeans. They're like a 233 00:10:52,745 --> 00:10:56,145 Speaker 2: foresty car key, and the genes themselves came with a 234 00:10:56,145 --> 00:10:58,825 Speaker 2: fabric little tie. And then I saw someone much cooler 235 00:10:58,865 --> 00:11:01,185 Speaker 2: than me on Instagram wear the jeans that then put 236 00:11:01,185 --> 00:11:03,265 Speaker 2: on a blazer and then use the tie from the 237 00:11:03,345 --> 00:11:06,385 Speaker 2: jeans around the blazer again, same color as the jeans 238 00:11:06,585 --> 00:11:10,705 Speaker 2: I copied. You and I are both not really extremely tall, 239 00:11:10,745 --> 00:11:13,745 Speaker 2: so this is a really clever little trick, particularly for 240 00:11:13,785 --> 00:11:15,625 Speaker 2: Maxi dresses. But also if your dress is just a 241 00:11:15,625 --> 00:11:17,985 Speaker 2: bit of a weird length track on your maxi dress, 242 00:11:18,025 --> 00:11:19,505 Speaker 2: it's too long, and what I normally do when I'm 243 00:11:19,545 --> 00:11:21,385 Speaker 2: running around after my son is tucking it into my 244 00:11:21,465 --> 00:11:24,225 Speaker 2: undies so I don't drip over, which is not that stylish. 245 00:11:24,585 --> 00:11:26,825 Speaker 2: So you can use a shoe lace, or you can 246 00:11:26,865 --> 00:11:28,705 Speaker 2: also just use a length of elastic, which you can 247 00:11:28,745 --> 00:11:32,105 Speaker 2: pick up from Spotlight for two bucks, tied around your waist. 248 00:11:32,185 --> 00:11:34,585 Speaker 2: It's very subtle, but you very subtly kind of pull 249 00:11:34,625 --> 00:11:36,985 Speaker 2: the fabric over the elastic and sort of flounce it out. 250 00:11:37,585 --> 00:11:39,745 Speaker 2: You can't see it too much. It kind of just 251 00:11:39,785 --> 00:11:42,745 Speaker 2: gives the illusion of almost a skirt and top set, 252 00:11:43,225 --> 00:11:45,985 Speaker 2: and then you can kind of customize where that dress falls, 253 00:11:45,985 --> 00:11:48,905 Speaker 2: whether it's a Maxi that's touching the floor or a 254 00:11:49,025 --> 00:11:51,305 Speaker 2: Meati that's just an awkward length, or I do have 255 00:11:51,385 --> 00:11:53,385 Speaker 2: a mini dress. I mean, I never want my mini 256 00:11:53,425 --> 00:11:55,465 Speaker 2: dresses to be extra short. Anyway, it looks like it 257 00:11:55,505 --> 00:11:57,305 Speaker 2: needs tailoring, but I'm like, eh, I'm not gonna get 258 00:11:57,305 --> 00:11:58,905 Speaker 2: a tailor. So I just tied a little bit of 259 00:11:58,945 --> 00:12:01,785 Speaker 2: elastic flounced it over. Depends on the fabric, but that 260 00:12:01,865 --> 00:12:04,505 Speaker 2: one is actually sequence and it still worked. And then 261 00:12:04,545 --> 00:12:06,585 Speaker 2: it just kind of shortens it, and then you've still 262 00:12:06,665 --> 00:12:08,505 Speaker 2: got the dress at the original length. Should you want 263 00:12:08,505 --> 00:12:11,425 Speaker 2: to know, add a heel or it differently, but it's 264 00:12:11,505 --> 00:12:14,905 Speaker 2: just a way to shorten things without sewing or tailoring. 265 00:12:15,305 --> 00:12:19,105 Speaker 3: Oh love that And being a fellow short person myself. 266 00:12:19,185 --> 00:12:22,505 Speaker 2: Yes, I'm constantly googling queer, how do I make something 267 00:12:22,545 --> 00:12:23,585 Speaker 2: shorter without cutting it? 268 00:12:24,425 --> 00:12:25,385 Speaker 1: What else have you got? 269 00:12:25,905 --> 00:12:29,865 Speaker 3: Sticking with the theme of belts, is you know how 270 00:12:29,905 --> 00:12:32,625 Speaker 3: sometimes you have a loose flap of your belt if 271 00:12:32,625 --> 00:12:35,505 Speaker 3: it doesn't go all the way into the next loop. 272 00:12:35,705 --> 00:12:37,385 Speaker 1: Yes, this drives me mad. 273 00:12:38,065 --> 00:12:41,705 Speaker 3: So I use double sided fashion tape. 274 00:12:41,785 --> 00:12:44,585 Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, that is the smartest thing I've ever 275 00:12:44,665 --> 00:12:47,265 Speaker 2: heard of. I have tried bobby pins, but then they 276 00:12:47,265 --> 00:12:48,065 Speaker 2: go flying off. 277 00:12:48,465 --> 00:12:50,865 Speaker 3: Yes, and I do this all the time. 278 00:12:51,225 --> 00:12:53,425 Speaker 2: I am just thinking of all the sad belts that 279 00:12:53,465 --> 00:12:55,505 Speaker 2: I've cut and ruined that I could have just stuck 280 00:12:55,545 --> 00:12:58,105 Speaker 2: it to itself, Because then I've also tried to do 281 00:12:58,145 --> 00:13:00,385 Speaker 2: that cool girl loopy knotty thing, and then it just 282 00:13:00,425 --> 00:13:01,825 Speaker 2: looks weird and flies out. 283 00:13:02,265 --> 00:13:05,985 Speaker 3: Well, sometimes the leather might be too stiff to do that. Yes, 284 00:13:06,665 --> 00:13:08,705 Speaker 3: is a really good way just to stick it down. 285 00:13:08,905 --> 00:13:10,945 Speaker 1: I love that so much. Oh my god, you're blowing 286 00:13:11,025 --> 00:13:11,345 Speaker 1: my mind. 287 00:13:11,785 --> 00:13:15,345 Speaker 2: Okay, So layering necklaces is huge, and thankfully you can 288 00:13:15,505 --> 00:13:18,545 Speaker 2: buy some molten layered necklaces. The work is done for you. 289 00:13:18,585 --> 00:13:20,585 Speaker 2: There's just one class. When there's two or three or 290 00:13:20,585 --> 00:13:23,745 Speaker 2: four chains hanging. That looks very cool, but a lot 291 00:13:23,785 --> 00:13:26,105 Speaker 2: of us, me included, have some beautiful necklaces I love 292 00:13:26,105 --> 00:13:27,985 Speaker 2: at home and would love to layer, but they're all 293 00:13:27,985 --> 00:13:31,225 Speaker 2: the same length. Put them both on one and then two, 294 00:13:31,385 --> 00:13:34,145 Speaker 2: and then flip them around so both of the class 295 00:13:34,145 --> 00:13:36,065 Speaker 2: are at the front, just so you can work without 296 00:13:36,065 --> 00:13:37,345 Speaker 2: having to be a flip top head. 297 00:13:37,865 --> 00:13:39,585 Speaker 1: Then undo them. 298 00:13:39,465 --> 00:13:43,745 Speaker 2: Both and then relink each class to the link of 299 00:13:43,825 --> 00:13:47,385 Speaker 2: the other necklace. Then if you turn them both back 300 00:13:47,425 --> 00:13:49,785 Speaker 2: around and pull them down, they're going to be two 301 00:13:49,825 --> 00:13:52,665 Speaker 2: different lengths. And also it kind of stops them from 302 00:13:52,705 --> 00:13:55,745 Speaker 2: tangling because they're now joined to the other one, so 303 00:13:55,785 --> 00:13:57,145 Speaker 2: it's not going to not up at the back. 304 00:13:57,345 --> 00:13:58,185 Speaker 1: Does that make sense? 305 00:13:58,505 --> 00:14:00,825 Speaker 3: Mind blown? Yes by this one too. 306 00:14:00,945 --> 00:14:02,705 Speaker 2: I am going to try and work out how to 307 00:14:02,705 --> 00:14:04,625 Speaker 2: add a third. It's a bit like juggling. Everyone can 308 00:14:04,705 --> 00:14:06,825 Speaker 2: juggle too, but when you chuck in a third. But 309 00:14:06,905 --> 00:14:09,905 Speaker 2: it definitely makes two necklaces sit just that beautiful of 310 00:14:09,945 --> 00:14:12,985 Speaker 2: distance from each other without having to go buy more accessories. 311 00:14:13,225 --> 00:14:13,985 Speaker 1: What else you got? 312 00:14:14,785 --> 00:14:19,745 Speaker 3: I have got a tip for wearing oversized, So I 313 00:14:19,785 --> 00:14:22,105 Speaker 3: call this a bit of a hat because there's a 314 00:14:22,145 --> 00:14:25,585 Speaker 3: lot of oversized garments going around at the moment. The 315 00:14:25,705 --> 00:14:31,145 Speaker 3: key to wearing oversize is to wear one piece oversized 316 00:14:31,185 --> 00:14:34,345 Speaker 3: and one piece that is more fitted, just as alance 317 00:14:34,465 --> 00:14:37,025 Speaker 3: you're silhouette. Because I know have a lot of clients 318 00:14:37,025 --> 00:14:39,105 Speaker 3: that come to me and they say they really want 319 00:14:39,105 --> 00:14:42,425 Speaker 3: to wear a chep oversized blazer, but it feels like 320 00:14:42,505 --> 00:14:46,505 Speaker 3: there's just so much fabric and it wears them. 321 00:14:45,465 --> 00:14:47,425 Speaker 1: Because it comes down to proportions, doesn't it. 322 00:14:47,505 --> 00:14:50,265 Speaker 2: Yes, I've fallen into this trap because I love oversized 323 00:14:50,425 --> 00:14:52,465 Speaker 2: wide legged pants. Wide leg jeans are having a moment, 324 00:14:52,545 --> 00:14:55,385 Speaker 2: so are oversized blazers and oversized shirts. But sometimes I 325 00:14:55,425 --> 00:14:56,905 Speaker 2: put it all on together and look, I look like 326 00:14:56,985 --> 00:14:57,945 Speaker 2: a little girl wearing. 327 00:14:57,705 --> 00:14:58,625 Speaker 1: Her dad's clothes. 328 00:14:59,345 --> 00:15:01,185 Speaker 2: Is it best to be oversized on the top or 329 00:15:01,185 --> 00:15:02,865 Speaker 2: the bottom or it doesn't really matter as long as 330 00:15:02,865 --> 00:15:04,705 Speaker 2: you're taking in proportions altogether. 331 00:15:05,265 --> 00:15:07,945 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's all about taking in proportions. So if you're 332 00:15:07,985 --> 00:15:11,625 Speaker 3: going to wear palatzo wide leg kind of pants, you 333 00:15:11,705 --> 00:15:14,225 Speaker 3: might want to wear something a little bit more fitted 334 00:15:14,305 --> 00:15:16,665 Speaker 3: on the top and fited doesn't mean it has to 335 00:15:16,745 --> 00:15:20,385 Speaker 3: be skin tight. It just would be like a tea 336 00:15:20,465 --> 00:15:21,785 Speaker 3: for example, but tucked in. 337 00:15:22,585 --> 00:15:23,025 Speaker 1: Okay. 338 00:15:23,265 --> 00:15:27,265 Speaker 2: My next one is one word, and I want to 339 00:15:27,265 --> 00:15:30,745 Speaker 2: get better at it. Sunglasses Honestly, if I'm wearing my 340 00:15:30,905 --> 00:15:35,145 Speaker 2: daggiest leggings and sneakers and running around as soon as 341 00:15:35,185 --> 00:15:37,985 Speaker 2: I put Sonny's on, it looks more intentional. It looks 342 00:15:38,025 --> 00:15:40,785 Speaker 2: like I'm trying to be casual cool. I have thirty 343 00:15:40,785 --> 00:15:43,785 Speaker 2: pairs of sunglasses. Really, is there a pair in my 344 00:15:43,865 --> 00:15:46,305 Speaker 2: handbag or in my car? But if you have not 345 00:15:46,425 --> 00:15:48,105 Speaker 2: had time to get ready and you're running out of 346 00:15:48,105 --> 00:15:49,745 Speaker 2: the house, I mean, unless you're go to the movies, 347 00:15:50,065 --> 00:15:53,105 Speaker 2: grab a pair of Sonnies. It immediately just says that 348 00:15:53,185 --> 00:15:54,785 Speaker 2: you put in a bit of effort, even if from 349 00:15:54,785 --> 00:15:58,505 Speaker 2: the neck down you didn't hide sleepless nights. I know 350 00:15:58,625 --> 00:16:01,265 Speaker 2: you love Sonnies and I love sunnies too, but I 351 00:16:01,305 --> 00:16:04,145 Speaker 2: forget to wear them. How do you remember to wear them? 352 00:16:04,145 --> 00:16:06,785 Speaker 2: And how do you incorporate sunglasses into your personal style? 353 00:16:07,105 --> 00:16:10,905 Speaker 3: I have sunglasses for every scene, will kind of outfit. 354 00:16:11,225 --> 00:16:13,345 Speaker 1: But do you pack them? Do you remember to grab them? 355 00:16:13,625 --> 00:16:17,625 Speaker 3: I have a display shelf with all of my sunglasses 356 00:16:17,625 --> 00:16:19,905 Speaker 3: so I can see what I have to work with. 357 00:16:20,225 --> 00:16:22,465 Speaker 3: It's like any of your clothes. If they're packed away 358 00:16:22,625 --> 00:16:25,625 Speaker 3: and you can't see them, they're kind of forgotten about. 359 00:16:26,185 --> 00:16:28,665 Speaker 2: And maybe do you have like a pair or two 360 00:16:28,705 --> 00:16:31,545 Speaker 2: of classics in your everyday handbag or in your car, 361 00:16:31,705 --> 00:16:33,425 Speaker 2: because that's it, Like, what are they doing up in 362 00:16:33,465 --> 00:16:36,305 Speaker 2: my bedroom? Yea, I've got a set that's in my car. 363 00:16:36,865 --> 00:16:38,345 Speaker 2: I'm more likely to wear them. 364 00:16:38,785 --> 00:16:39,265 Speaker 3: That's smart. 365 00:16:39,345 --> 00:16:41,865 Speaker 2: It's such a simple one and very good for your eyes. 366 00:16:42,425 --> 00:16:44,185 Speaker 2: We just need to remember to do it. What else 367 00:16:44,225 --> 00:16:44,705 Speaker 2: have you got? 368 00:16:44,985 --> 00:16:49,665 Speaker 3: So I've got another hack for wearing cross body bags. 369 00:16:49,905 --> 00:16:51,905 Speaker 3: So a lot of the time when you go and 370 00:16:51,905 --> 00:16:55,865 Speaker 3: buy a cross body bag, the strap placement might be 371 00:16:55,905 --> 00:17:00,945 Speaker 3: really really long, and generally they're not being adjusted. So 372 00:17:01,105 --> 00:17:03,265 Speaker 3: I see a lot of women and it's no fault 373 00:17:03,265 --> 00:17:07,625 Speaker 3: of their own is wearing really long cross body bags 374 00:17:07,865 --> 00:17:12,745 Speaker 3: hanging below their hit. And if you're a hippie person 375 00:17:13,145 --> 00:17:16,305 Speaker 3: like myself, what it can do. It can add more 376 00:17:16,425 --> 00:17:20,945 Speaker 3: volume and accentuate that area. Yes, So what you can 377 00:17:20,985 --> 00:17:24,385 Speaker 3: do is slightly adjust the strap above your hip. 378 00:17:24,585 --> 00:17:26,665 Speaker 1: Yes, so it sits kind of in that curve. 379 00:17:27,305 --> 00:17:30,585 Speaker 3: Yeah, And it really will change up the proportions of 380 00:17:30,625 --> 00:17:31,985 Speaker 3: your whole silhouette. 381 00:17:32,105 --> 00:17:33,865 Speaker 2: The other day, I was wearing one of my crossbodies 382 00:17:33,865 --> 00:17:36,065 Speaker 2: and because I like to like swivel it around almost 383 00:17:36,065 --> 00:17:38,065 Speaker 2: on my bum because if I'm wearing a crossbody I 384 00:17:38,105 --> 00:17:40,945 Speaker 2: mean business, I'm walking, I'm using my arms, and it 385 00:17:41,025 --> 00:17:43,985 Speaker 2: was just flap flap, flap, flap, flapping, spanking my bum 386 00:17:44,065 --> 00:17:46,385 Speaker 2: this bag, and I was like, oh, hooked it up 387 00:17:46,425 --> 00:17:48,905 Speaker 2: a bit, and then it just didn't annoy me. But 388 00:17:48,985 --> 00:17:51,145 Speaker 2: so often we forget that often a lot of things 389 00:17:51,145 --> 00:17:53,425 Speaker 2: are adjustable in that way and we just accept it. 390 00:17:53,625 --> 00:17:56,465 Speaker 3: And if you're traveling as well and you want a 391 00:17:56,465 --> 00:17:59,065 Speaker 3: little bit more security with your bag, having. 392 00:17:58,825 --> 00:18:01,545 Speaker 2: It, oh big time. Yeah, you don't want it yet, 393 00:18:01,665 --> 00:18:04,025 Speaker 2: and definitely wear it more to the front. Okay, onto 394 00:18:04,065 --> 00:18:06,465 Speaker 2: the too long thing again, because I think you and 395 00:18:06,545 --> 00:18:07,825 Speaker 2: I are in the same boat. 396 00:18:08,305 --> 00:18:09,545 Speaker 1: I have so many. 397 00:18:09,345 --> 00:18:13,145 Speaker 2: Beauty full tanks or crops some addresses. Some are casual, 398 00:18:13,145 --> 00:18:15,785 Speaker 2: but they're too long, or I don't like how they 399 00:18:15,865 --> 00:18:18,105 Speaker 2: flow down the bottom, or they just don't work with 400 00:18:18,145 --> 00:18:21,145 Speaker 2: the outfit, because again, we're wearing more high waisted things 401 00:18:21,145 --> 00:18:23,745 Speaker 2: than ever before. So you've got a tank that's too 402 00:18:23,825 --> 00:18:26,025 Speaker 2: long or a singlet top that's too long. What I 403 00:18:26,025 --> 00:18:27,625 Speaker 2: want you to do is you put it on and 404 00:18:27,625 --> 00:18:30,225 Speaker 2: then you fold it all the way down so it's 405 00:18:30,305 --> 00:18:33,265 Speaker 2: kind of inside out and your straps are hanging down 406 00:18:33,385 --> 00:18:35,905 Speaker 2: near where your pockets would be. So you've kind of 407 00:18:35,905 --> 00:18:38,905 Speaker 2: got it on as a boob tube, but it's inside out. 408 00:18:39,505 --> 00:18:42,105 Speaker 2: Stick with me. Then you're getting your strapless bra. You 409 00:18:42,145 --> 00:18:45,345 Speaker 2: put your strapless bra on over the fabric, right, and 410 00:18:45,385 --> 00:18:47,865 Speaker 2: then you reach down, pick up your straps and put 411 00:18:47,905 --> 00:18:50,545 Speaker 2: it back on, and it's now a cropped tank or 412 00:18:50,585 --> 00:18:53,545 Speaker 2: a shorter tank. And depending on how much fabric you've 413 00:18:53,545 --> 00:18:55,385 Speaker 2: got to play with, if it was way too long 414 00:18:55,505 --> 00:18:58,065 Speaker 2: or if you're quite short, you can still get it 415 00:18:58,105 --> 00:19:00,065 Speaker 2: to sit sort of at your waist or a little 416 00:19:00,105 --> 00:19:02,385 Speaker 2: bit lower, and then wear it with jeans or skirts, 417 00:19:02,425 --> 00:19:06,145 Speaker 2: and again you can wee better and easier, and you're 418 00:19:06,145 --> 00:19:08,305 Speaker 2: not tucking it in, and it just kind of turns 419 00:19:08,345 --> 00:19:10,185 Speaker 2: a really long top that you might not have been 420 00:19:10,225 --> 00:19:12,505 Speaker 2: wearing because of the length and what you wanted to 421 00:19:12,545 --> 00:19:15,025 Speaker 2: style with into a shorter tank. 422 00:19:15,385 --> 00:19:16,585 Speaker 3: Love that, Love it. 423 00:19:16,385 --> 00:19:18,385 Speaker 2: It's just about getting more use out of the things 424 00:19:18,425 --> 00:19:21,225 Speaker 2: you've already got right exactly anything else. 425 00:19:21,745 --> 00:19:25,625 Speaker 3: We're still in sweater weather in Victoria. Yeah, but I've 426 00:19:25,665 --> 00:19:29,385 Speaker 3: got to tip for if you want to wear a 427 00:19:29,425 --> 00:19:32,865 Speaker 3: sweater or a cardigan and add a little bit more 428 00:19:32,905 --> 00:19:38,985 Speaker 3: depth and interest to either of those, is wearing white underneath it. 429 00:19:39,105 --> 00:19:42,705 Speaker 3: By adding like a white tea underneath your sweater, you're 430 00:19:42,745 --> 00:19:47,425 Speaker 3: adding more contrasts. Ok, it just looks so much visually. 431 00:19:47,625 --> 00:19:50,545 Speaker 2: Like if it's an undone button like a cardigan or 432 00:19:50,585 --> 00:19:51,745 Speaker 2: a sheerer fabric. 433 00:19:52,225 --> 00:19:53,545 Speaker 3: You can see my cardigan here. 434 00:19:53,625 --> 00:19:56,065 Speaker 2: Yes, you're wearing a beautiful lemon yellow and it does 435 00:19:56,145 --> 00:19:56,985 Speaker 2: look very vibrant. 436 00:19:57,065 --> 00:20:01,145 Speaker 3: Add a crew neck tea underneath this peep out the top. 437 00:20:01,225 --> 00:20:02,065 Speaker 1: Oh, I love that. 438 00:20:02,505 --> 00:20:04,985 Speaker 2: Yeah, it says I put in effort because layerings what 439 00:20:05,025 --> 00:20:05,905 Speaker 2: all the cool kids do. 440 00:20:06,465 --> 00:20:06,905 Speaker 3: Yeah. 441 00:20:06,945 --> 00:20:09,345 Speaker 2: And then also because we are in that transseasonal time, 442 00:20:09,385 --> 00:20:11,185 Speaker 2: if does get a little bit too warm, you can 443 00:20:11,225 --> 00:20:14,905 Speaker 2: take it off and you're not sitting there in your bra. Yes. Now, 444 00:20:14,905 --> 00:20:16,945 Speaker 2: before we got to Bougie and Budget one that has 445 00:20:17,065 --> 00:20:19,265 Speaker 2: changed my life, I went to Bunning's. I bought a 446 00:20:19,345 --> 00:20:22,945 Speaker 2: small clothing rackets timber. It's quite stylish and it fits 447 00:20:22,945 --> 00:20:25,945 Speaker 2: probably about ten things on it. And now I put 448 00:20:25,985 --> 00:20:28,425 Speaker 2: on there the items that are from my ten percent 449 00:20:28,505 --> 00:20:30,705 Speaker 2: that I wear ninety percent of the time that I love, 450 00:20:30,785 --> 00:20:32,665 Speaker 2: that are kind of out of the house clothes or 451 00:20:32,905 --> 00:20:35,545 Speaker 2: new things or things I want to wear soon because 452 00:20:35,625 --> 00:20:38,865 Speaker 2: every morning I am dealing with a five year old, 453 00:20:38,905 --> 00:20:40,305 Speaker 2: I'm trying to get out of the house. If I 454 00:20:40,305 --> 00:20:43,065 Speaker 2: look at my whole wardrobe, it's too overwhelming and I 455 00:20:43,145 --> 00:20:45,025 Speaker 2: probably described the same jeans and T shirt. 456 00:20:45,145 --> 00:20:45,825 Speaker 1: Nothing wrong with that. 457 00:20:45,865 --> 00:20:47,745 Speaker 2: But if I've got a little rack of like an edit, 458 00:20:48,665 --> 00:20:51,225 Speaker 2: I go, okay, I'm going to pick something from here, 459 00:20:51,505 --> 00:20:53,345 Speaker 2: and then you put on a smaller reddit of your 460 00:20:53,345 --> 00:20:55,065 Speaker 2: favorite things or things you want to wear soon. That 461 00:20:55,145 --> 00:20:57,105 Speaker 2: kind of all work together and you're choosing from a 462 00:20:57,185 --> 00:21:01,385 Speaker 2: much smaller selection. It takes away the overwhelm of getting 463 00:21:01,425 --> 00:21:03,305 Speaker 2: dressed in the morning. And then what I do, if 464 00:21:03,345 --> 00:21:05,545 Speaker 2: I'm well behaved, is every Sunday night I sort of 465 00:21:05,585 --> 00:21:07,985 Speaker 2: rotate that there's jeans, there's some classics there, but there 466 00:21:08,025 --> 00:21:09,625 Speaker 2: might be my new top I'm looking forward to wear, 467 00:21:10,225 --> 00:21:12,385 Speaker 2: whereas if I put it in my wardrobe, I forget 468 00:21:12,385 --> 00:21:14,465 Speaker 2: about it. I like that you can have all the 469 00:21:14,465 --> 00:21:15,945 Speaker 2: clothes in the world, but if you don't have time 470 00:21:16,025 --> 00:21:17,785 Speaker 2: or you're overwhelmed, you're not going to wear them. 471 00:21:17,825 --> 00:21:20,025 Speaker 3: No, And you're just overwhelmed when you've got a lot 472 00:21:20,025 --> 00:21:34,385 Speaker 3: of choice in your wardrobe. So this really simplifies it. 473 00:21:34,385 --> 00:21:35,825 Speaker 3: It's very expensive. 474 00:21:36,665 --> 00:21:42,065 Speaker 1: How wud are these okay? Bougie and budget? 475 00:21:42,185 --> 00:21:44,185 Speaker 2: So my friend Emily are we're going to bring some 476 00:21:44,265 --> 00:21:46,985 Speaker 2: items that help sort of hack or elevate, so they're 477 00:21:47,065 --> 00:21:50,465 Speaker 2: kind of more functional, I would say. So let's start 478 00:21:50,505 --> 00:21:52,105 Speaker 2: with your bougie, my friend, what do you got? 479 00:21:53,465 --> 00:21:56,145 Speaker 3: So, keeping in theme of what we spoke about, my 480 00:21:56,265 --> 00:22:02,145 Speaker 3: bougie is quite bougie. It's a belt from Selene and 481 00:22:02,505 --> 00:22:04,985 Speaker 3: it's eight hundred and ninety Oh. 482 00:22:04,625 --> 00:22:07,825 Speaker 1: My gosh, but of course it is. But do you 483 00:22:07,985 --> 00:22:10,025 Speaker 1: know what? Chuck that on with a paper back and 484 00:22:10,065 --> 00:22:10,585 Speaker 1: you look good. 485 00:22:10,665 --> 00:22:13,985 Speaker 3: But the reason why I've put it in here because 486 00:22:14,305 --> 00:22:16,665 Speaker 3: it's a style that has been around for a very 487 00:22:16,665 --> 00:22:19,465 Speaker 3: long time, so it's not going to date. Wear it 488 00:22:19,505 --> 00:22:21,985 Speaker 3: for your trousers. You could wear it over your blazers. 489 00:22:22,345 --> 00:22:25,185 Speaker 3: I feel like it would be an investment piece. I 490 00:22:25,305 --> 00:22:27,905 Speaker 3: buy lots of sneakers. I bought five pairs of speakers. 491 00:22:27,945 --> 00:22:30,065 Speaker 3: If I didn't buy those sneakers, I could have bought them. 492 00:22:29,985 --> 00:22:32,265 Speaker 2: The belt, Yes, totally. And you can wear the belt 493 00:22:32,265 --> 00:22:34,505 Speaker 2: every day. You can't wear five pairs of sneakers at once. 494 00:22:34,585 --> 00:22:34,785 Speaker 3: Yeah. 495 00:22:34,825 --> 00:22:35,585 Speaker 1: What color is it? 496 00:22:35,865 --> 00:22:36,225 Speaker 3: Black? 497 00:22:36,425 --> 00:22:37,705 Speaker 1: And the buckle's pretty classic. 498 00:22:38,065 --> 00:22:39,785 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just a gold hardware. 499 00:22:40,105 --> 00:22:43,385 Speaker 2: Oh and you know what, even if people don't know 500 00:22:43,425 --> 00:22:45,705 Speaker 2: what it is, when you put that on, you immediately 501 00:22:45,705 --> 00:22:46,545 Speaker 2: feel elevated. 502 00:22:46,825 --> 00:22:50,505 Speaker 3: It's very minimalistic, but it's elevated at the same time. 503 00:22:50,585 --> 00:22:52,785 Speaker 2: Yes, and sometimes jeans and a tea you chuck on 504 00:22:52,785 --> 00:22:54,225 Speaker 2: a belt and it just changes the game. 505 00:22:54,585 --> 00:22:55,185 Speaker 3: Absolutely. 506 00:22:55,425 --> 00:22:58,865 Speaker 2: Okay, my Bougie is very functional and has changed my life. 507 00:22:58,865 --> 00:23:01,545 Speaker 2: It's not that expensive, but it's sixty five dollars. It's 508 00:23:01,545 --> 00:23:04,865 Speaker 2: a handheld or a travel steamer. I'm not an ironer. 509 00:23:04,945 --> 00:23:08,625 Speaker 2: There is an iron in my home. Can't confirm I'm 510 00:23:08,625 --> 00:23:11,225 Speaker 2: a steamer. So this is fantastic if you're traveling or 511 00:23:11,265 --> 00:23:13,905 Speaker 2: you just want your clothes to look a bit less disheveled. 512 00:23:14,145 --> 00:23:17,105 Speaker 2: Back to my Sunday session. If there's a few things 513 00:23:17,145 --> 00:23:18,505 Speaker 2: on that rack that I want to wear that week 514 00:23:18,545 --> 00:23:20,505 Speaker 2: that I can't get away with the wrinkles in, and 515 00:23:20,545 --> 00:23:23,745 Speaker 2: trust me, I'll try I steam them because Tuesday morning, 516 00:23:23,785 --> 00:23:26,625 Speaker 2: Wednesday morning, I'm in a frenzy. If it's wrinkled, I'm 517 00:23:26,625 --> 00:23:29,585 Speaker 2: not gonna use it. And this is very little. You 518 00:23:29,585 --> 00:23:31,225 Speaker 2: fill it up with water, you plug it in, and 519 00:23:31,305 --> 00:23:33,265 Speaker 2: off you go. So it's great for travel. Fits in 520 00:23:33,305 --> 00:23:36,105 Speaker 2: your suitcase and I just have it basically sitting under 521 00:23:36,145 --> 00:23:38,385 Speaker 2: that little rack that I have and I do a 522 00:23:38,425 --> 00:23:41,705 Speaker 2: quick steam and then my linen pants or my satin 523 00:23:41,785 --> 00:23:44,825 Speaker 2: or silk shirt or whatever I can't wear, I just 524 00:23:44,865 --> 00:23:47,345 Speaker 2: give it once over. It's very very quick, and if 525 00:23:47,385 --> 00:23:49,865 Speaker 2: you just kind of do those little things like that, 526 00:23:50,585 --> 00:23:53,305 Speaker 2: you'll look more elevated. You're just wearing the basics or 527 00:23:53,345 --> 00:23:55,825 Speaker 2: a simple slipskirt, but if you've taken the creases out, 528 00:23:56,265 --> 00:23:59,305 Speaker 2: it just looks a bit more pulled together. What is 529 00:23:59,385 --> 00:24:00,265 Speaker 2: your budget? 530 00:24:00,625 --> 00:24:04,985 Speaker 3: This is very budget friendly, So back to the double 531 00:24:05,065 --> 00:24:08,865 Speaker 3: sided fashion tape. So I usually use one. It's called 532 00:24:08,905 --> 00:24:14,145 Speaker 3: the Hollywood Fashion tape, about twenty dollars, and not only 533 00:24:14,185 --> 00:24:18,305 Speaker 3: can you use it for your loose belt flaps, you 534 00:24:18,345 --> 00:24:22,305 Speaker 3: can also use it to hide your brass straps as well. 535 00:24:22,745 --> 00:24:23,745 Speaker 1: I've used it before. 536 00:24:23,825 --> 00:24:26,625 Speaker 2: If I've got like a gaping button hole across the chest, 537 00:24:27,265 --> 00:24:29,065 Speaker 2: it fits right, but it kind of looks a bit 538 00:24:29,105 --> 00:24:31,385 Speaker 2: too what's going on there. You just put a little 539 00:24:31,385 --> 00:24:33,985 Speaker 2: bit of take between the two buttons and it's so good. 540 00:24:34,025 --> 00:24:37,265 Speaker 2: And also I've done it to him lightweight skirts and 541 00:24:37,385 --> 00:24:39,945 Speaker 2: pants they wouldn't hold a geene. But if you've got 542 00:24:39,945 --> 00:24:42,625 Speaker 2: a really kind of lightweight cheese cloth or a linen 543 00:24:43,065 --> 00:24:45,145 Speaker 2: and they're too long, the tapeholes. 544 00:24:45,425 --> 00:24:50,025 Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely does. It's so versatile. Every stylist would. 545 00:24:50,785 --> 00:24:52,905 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's when you first think of it. 546 00:24:52,905 --> 00:24:54,505 Speaker 2: For me, I think of it of like wearing a 547 00:24:54,545 --> 00:24:56,905 Speaker 2: really low plunging top to lock your boobies in, but 548 00:24:56,945 --> 00:24:57,905 Speaker 2: it's way more than that. 549 00:24:58,145 --> 00:25:00,225 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a sticky safety pin essentially. 550 00:25:00,545 --> 00:25:01,145 Speaker 3: Pretty much. 551 00:25:01,265 --> 00:25:03,945 Speaker 2: Okay, my budget is super budget and I cannot live 552 00:25:03,945 --> 00:25:06,985 Speaker 2: without them. They're from Amazon. They're called the Mini Clothes Hangar, 553 00:25:07,145 --> 00:25:09,985 Speaker 2: connector hook, and there are these little sort of figure 554 00:25:09,985 --> 00:25:12,145 Speaker 2: of eight black or you can get white. So say 555 00:25:12,185 --> 00:25:14,345 Speaker 2: you've got a set also you're traveling, or you just 556 00:25:14,345 --> 00:25:16,385 Speaker 2: want to pair an outfit together. You get the one hanger, 557 00:25:16,745 --> 00:25:19,025 Speaker 2: then you loop this little thing over the hang bit 558 00:25:19,665 --> 00:25:21,945 Speaker 2: and then it kind of creates a second layer where 559 00:25:21,945 --> 00:25:24,545 Speaker 2: you can then hang the second item and then they 560 00:25:24,585 --> 00:25:26,865 Speaker 2: move together. So sit in your wardrobe together, or on 561 00:25:26,905 --> 00:25:29,145 Speaker 2: your little rack or I take about twenty of these 562 00:25:29,145 --> 00:25:31,225 Speaker 2: when I'm traveling, because you know, if you're unpacking at 563 00:25:31,265 --> 00:25:33,625 Speaker 2: a hotel and you've got four hangers and your husband's like, 564 00:25:33,585 --> 00:25:35,265 Speaker 2: I hang up my blazer and you're like, well, I 565 00:25:35,305 --> 00:25:37,585 Speaker 2: want to hang my things. You can kind of double 566 00:25:37,585 --> 00:25:39,665 Speaker 2: triple them and get the sort of a row of 567 00:25:39,705 --> 00:25:40,465 Speaker 2: clothes off. 568 00:25:40,345 --> 00:25:41,065 Speaker 1: The one hanger. 569 00:25:41,225 --> 00:25:44,945 Speaker 2: They are a game changer and they're fourteen ninety five 570 00:25:45,025 --> 00:25:46,785 Speaker 2: and I think you get twenty for that. 571 00:25:47,185 --> 00:25:49,545 Speaker 1: And I've bought several several packs. 572 00:25:50,025 --> 00:25:51,065 Speaker 3: Oh, I need to get that. 573 00:25:51,465 --> 00:25:53,625 Speaker 2: Or if I used to hang sort of a suit separately, 574 00:25:54,145 --> 00:25:55,785 Speaker 2: and then I'd put the blazer in the blazer section 575 00:25:55,785 --> 00:25:57,305 Speaker 2: of the pants in the pants section, I could never find. 576 00:25:57,425 --> 00:25:59,305 Speaker 2: But now if there's something that's a set, I use 577 00:25:59,345 --> 00:26:01,105 Speaker 2: these little guys to hang them as a set. 578 00:26:01,745 --> 00:26:03,345 Speaker 1: Amelia, you are fabulous. 579 00:26:03,345 --> 00:26:04,865 Speaker 2: I feel like we need to get together and have 580 00:26:04,905 --> 00:26:07,305 Speaker 2: a play and try out all those little tips and 581 00:26:07,345 --> 00:26:10,225 Speaker 2: tricks and hacks.
