7
00:00:24,773 --> 00:00:27,453
Speaker 2: the least, and we often end up kind of reflecting

8
00:00:27,493 --> 00:00:30,413
Speaker 2: that feeling in what we wear over winter. I mean,

9
00:00:30,493 --> 00:00:33,333
Speaker 2: I'm a real fashion eastevel one knows that. But just

00:00:47,533 --> 00:00:50,133
Speaker 3: I do, and I'm I'm your opposite this morning, I'm

16
00:00:50,173 --> 00:00:54,373
Speaker 3: wearing a very brightly colored padded jacket and pink dress

17
00:00:54,413 --> 00:00:56,813
Speaker 3: and red tights. So very good.

18
00:00:56,973 --> 00:01:00,213
Speaker 2: Okay, Well yeah, giving warm, well, I mean, keep you warm,

19
00:01:00,253 --> 00:01:02,853
Speaker 2: but also maybe bringing a little bit of a little

20
00:01:02,853 --> 00:01:05,093
Speaker 2: bit of brightness and an otherwise we lack.

21
00:01:06,053 --> 00:01:09,493
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I mean we know we have the issue

22
00:01:09,493 --> 00:01:13,253
Speaker 3: with shorter days, darker days, and generally just feeling a

23
00:01:13,253 --> 00:01:15,333
Speaker 3: bit down, and it's just so nice to use your

24
00:01:15,333 --> 00:01:18,213
Speaker 3: winter wardrobe to inject a bit of personality and life like,

25
00:01:18,333 --> 00:01:21,093
Speaker 3: not just for yourself, actually just walking around when you

26
00:01:21,133 --> 00:01:24,533
Speaker 3: see someone wearing a lovely bright jumper or a hat

27
00:01:24,693 --> 00:01:27,173
Speaker 3: or a coat, it just does boost your mood.

28
00:01:27,373 --> 00:01:30,253
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, totally. So the most sustainable way to do

29
00:01:30,293 --> 00:01:32,853
Speaker 2: things is obviously to use what you've already got. What

30
00:01:32,933 --> 00:01:38,333
Speaker 2: are some of your top tips on utilizing and maximizing

31
00:01:38,333 --> 00:01:39,973
Speaker 2: stuff you've already got in your wardrobe?

32
00:01:40,413 --> 00:01:44,773
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I think it's about firstly layering things that

33
00:01:44,813 --> 00:01:48,293
Speaker 3: there's things you can actually wear all year round, and

34
00:01:48,413 --> 00:01:50,693
Speaker 3: especially in a lot of altier row you know where

35
00:01:50,693 --> 00:01:53,573
Speaker 3: there isn't two extremes, so we can put some good

36
00:01:53,613 --> 00:01:57,013
Speaker 3: marino layers on underneath or on top. I like to

37
00:01:57,013 --> 00:01:59,413
Speaker 3: wear summer dresses, but I might wear a big chunky

38
00:01:59,453 --> 00:02:02,133
Speaker 3: sweater over the top and use it more like a skirt.

39
00:02:02,413 --> 00:02:04,293
Speaker 3: That might not be something that's so much that you

40
00:02:04,333 --> 00:02:05,213
Speaker 3: would do jack but.

41
00:02:06,693 --> 00:02:09,413
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, no judgment.

42
00:02:09,613 --> 00:02:13,413
Speaker 3: Yeah you never know you no, absolutely not. And also

43
00:02:13,653 --> 00:02:15,213
Speaker 3: then just sort of working with what you've got in

44
00:02:15,333 --> 00:02:17,893
Speaker 3: terms of having a bit of an audit and seeing

45
00:02:18,173 --> 00:02:20,493
Speaker 3: is this stuff that you could have altered to fit better,

46
00:02:21,093 --> 00:02:23,933
Speaker 3: or things that you could repair. Especially when it comes

47
00:02:23,933 --> 00:02:28,093
Speaker 3: to footwear. You know, if you've got quality boots and shoes,

48
00:02:28,493 --> 00:02:31,013
Speaker 3: it actually really is worth going and getting them fixed

49
00:02:31,093 --> 00:02:33,693
Speaker 3: or almost having a little tune up before winter, and

50
00:02:33,733 --> 00:02:35,493
Speaker 3: they'll see you through and then they'll see you through

51
00:02:35,493 --> 00:02:36,533
Speaker 3: for another few years.

52
00:02:36,533 --> 00:02:40,773
Speaker 2: It's also just it's just deeply satisfying. There's something about

53
00:02:40,773 --> 00:02:43,253
Speaker 2: doing that, Like even like I had some shoes I

54
00:02:43,293 --> 00:02:44,693
Speaker 2: thought we're getting a bit old and tatty, and then

55
00:02:44,693 --> 00:02:46,773
Speaker 2: I'm just wind of got them re sold and it

56
00:02:46,933 --> 00:02:49,493
Speaker 2: just obviously made a difference in terms of the shoes. Also,

57
00:02:49,533 --> 00:02:51,253
Speaker 2: I felt so virtuous, you know.

58
00:02:52,133 --> 00:02:55,813
Speaker 3: I know I'm laughing because I'm like I'm exactly the same.

59
00:02:55,853 --> 00:02:58,493
Speaker 3: I'm almost like I want to walk around and say like, yes,

60
00:02:58,613 --> 00:03:01,093
Speaker 3: that's right, I did get these shoes resource right.

61
00:03:01,133 --> 00:03:03,893
Speaker 2: So what kinds of pieces do you reckon probably have

62
00:03:03,973 --> 00:03:05,573
Speaker 2: the most kind of longevity.

63
00:03:06,493 --> 00:03:10,413
Speaker 3: Well, I think it's like things like coats, shoes, boots,

64
00:03:10,853 --> 00:03:13,853
Speaker 3: really good quality netwear as well, those kind of things.

65
00:03:13,893 --> 00:03:16,973
Speaker 3: They're not necessarily so much as sort of a trend

66
00:03:17,013 --> 00:03:19,893
Speaker 3: based item. They're things that you can really you can

67
00:03:19,933 --> 00:03:23,493
Speaker 3: express your personality. But they will last years and years

68
00:03:23,493 --> 00:03:25,493
Speaker 3: and years decades even.

69
00:03:25,453 --> 00:03:29,173
Speaker 2: Okay, hot fashion take here. I reckon knitwear has just

70
00:03:29,213 --> 00:03:31,373
Speaker 2: come back in the biggest way. And this is not

71
00:03:31,453 --> 00:03:33,693
Speaker 2: anything particularly new, Like I'd say there's been around for

72
00:03:33,733 --> 00:03:37,053
Speaker 2: at least five years, maybe longer, but I reckon there's

73
00:03:37,093 --> 00:03:39,013
Speaker 2: a little window there when itwear wasn't very cool and

74
00:03:39,053 --> 00:03:41,173
Speaker 2: it's just come back and like knitwear is properly cool.

75
00:03:41,893 --> 00:03:42,013
Speaker 1: It.

76
00:03:42,053 --> 00:03:45,333
Speaker 3: Oh, it's so cool. Yeah, yeah, no, you're so right,

77
00:03:46,333 --> 00:03:48,213
Speaker 3: and you're right with the timeline as well. But I

78
00:03:48,253 --> 00:03:51,453
Speaker 3: don't think it's going away. And there's all these amazing

79
00:03:51,573 --> 00:03:54,933
Speaker 3: nets is doing really creative things, and of course, you know,

80
00:03:55,053 --> 00:03:58,253
Speaker 3: wool is in our DNA here in New Zealand. So

81
00:03:58,373 --> 00:04:03,413
Speaker 3: it's just a really cool way to keep warm. But

82
00:04:03,493 --> 00:04:05,853
Speaker 3: it's also something that you know, you could actually get

83
00:04:05,893 --> 00:04:07,653
Speaker 3: a bit crap to yourself. You know, it's kind of

84
00:04:07,693 --> 00:04:09,653
Speaker 3: like chop wood. It will keep you warm twice or

85
00:04:09,693 --> 00:04:12,453
Speaker 3: whatever they're saying is kind of the same if you

86
00:04:12,453 --> 00:04:14,453
Speaker 3: you pick up the needles and you get yourself a

87
00:04:14,493 --> 00:04:17,813
Speaker 3: scarf or something. You know, if you thought you were

88
00:04:17,893 --> 00:04:18,813
Speaker 3: virtualous getting your shoes.

89
00:04:20,573 --> 00:04:23,013
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, So if you do have to go shopping

90
00:04:23,253 --> 00:04:25,173
Speaker 2: op shops are a good place to start.

91
00:04:25,493 --> 00:04:28,253
Speaker 3: Op shops are amazing, you know, like there's just so

92
00:04:28,413 --> 00:04:31,933
Speaker 3: much good clothing already out there, and if you just

93
00:04:31,973 --> 00:04:34,093
Speaker 3: sort of shop with a bit of an eye to

94
00:04:34,173 --> 00:04:36,933
Speaker 3: what will really last and what you'll really enjoy, and

95
00:04:36,973 --> 00:04:41,053
Speaker 3: also perhaps even what you could repair or refurbish, then

96
00:04:41,133 --> 00:04:43,773
Speaker 3: you can find some real gems, especially on items that

97
00:04:43,813 --> 00:04:45,573
Speaker 3: otherwise would be really really expensive.

98
00:04:45,613 --> 00:04:47,413
Speaker 2: Are there other options I've seeking hand shopping?

99
00:04:48,333 --> 00:04:53,293
Speaker 3: Oh, there's so many options there is online here, We've

Speaker 2: Yeah, top events are a bit of a thing now.

106
00:05:12,213 --> 00:05:13,853
Speaker 3: Yeah, you just have to be willing to get rid

107
00:05:13,893 --> 00:05:14,893
Speaker 3: of some things at the same time.

108
00:05:14,973 --> 00:05:17,213
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, yeah, no. My wife is a big fan of,

109
00:05:17,253 --> 00:05:19,573
Speaker 2: like of popping onto design of wardrobe and seeing what's

110
00:05:19,613 --> 00:05:24,053
Speaker 2: going and yeah, it's obviously good and besides the like

111
00:05:25,013 --> 00:05:29,093
Speaker 2: the bold and beautiful you reckon that. One of the

112
00:05:29,173 --> 00:05:31,933
Speaker 2: keys to seeking hand shopping is looking for those bits

113
00:05:31,933 --> 00:05:34,213
Speaker 2: that actually might need a little bit of work, but

114
00:05:34,293 --> 00:05:36,173
Speaker 2: something manageable and you can turn it into a bit.

115
00:05:36,093 --> 00:05:39,613
Speaker 3: Of magic exactly, like stuff like a bubbled sweater. But

116
00:05:39,693 --> 00:05:42,693
Speaker 3: if it's beautiful one hundred percent wool, you know, get it,

117
00:05:43,133 --> 00:05:45,413
Speaker 3: debobble it and give it a nice wash and some

118
00:05:46,493 --> 00:05:50,253
Speaker 3: shampoo wool soap and it will just come up like new. Yeah,

119
00:05:50,413 --> 00:05:53,253
Speaker 3: you know, things like that, Things that that will that

120
00:05:53,413 --> 00:05:55,293
Speaker 3: just need a little bit of care. But you know,

121
00:05:55,453 --> 00:05:58,013
Speaker 3: look for quality and natural materials generally.

122
00:05:58,133 --> 00:06:01,333
Speaker 2: Yeah. Okay, So so most sustainable way to do things

123
00:06:01,373 --> 00:06:03,533
Speaker 2: is not to buy anything seekond most is to go

124
00:06:03,573 --> 00:06:06,613
Speaker 2: seek in hand. If you do have to buy something

125
00:06:06,693 --> 00:06:09,973
Speaker 2: brand new, how can you stay kind of mindful of

126
00:06:10,013 --> 00:06:11,173
Speaker 2: shopping sustainably.

127
00:06:12,853 --> 00:06:15,173
Speaker 3: Well, we do have a lot of great brands here

128
00:06:15,333 --> 00:06:20,533
Speaker 3: in New Zealand, brands like Koto Mile people who are

129
00:06:20,533 --> 00:06:25,933
Speaker 3: producing great sustainable clothing that will really stand the test

130
00:06:25,933 --> 00:06:28,733
Speaker 3: at the time. And the nice thing about when you're

131
00:06:28,733 --> 00:06:31,453
Speaker 3: buying quality is not just for yourself, but actually if

132
00:06:31,493 --> 00:06:34,653
Speaker 3: you do decide, you know, maybe you change size or

133
00:06:34,693 --> 00:06:37,493
Speaker 3: your style changes, but because it's quality, you could even

134
00:06:37,533 --> 00:06:39,973
Speaker 3: on sal it later, so it doesn't then go to

135
00:06:40,053 --> 00:06:42,213
Speaker 3: landfill it. It continues to live a life.
