Flick, our community have sent in so many questions about finding their personal style, decluttering their wardrobe and, you know, dressing for success. Yeah.

But first, I would love to hear a little bit about your story. You are a personal stylist to a lot of big profile people. How on earth did you end up in this world? And what drives you? Okay, so how did I get into this world? So I was working in fashion beforehand in a gorgeous boutique. I was doing their buying, merchandising, styling in store. Absolutely loved it.

Actually still like doing a bit of music on the side as well. So kind of hustling my way throughout my 20s. and lockdown happened. And at the time I was running the, as well as doing bits in the boutique, I was also running their social media. And basically to keep the business alive, I started styling on their Instagram with all of the clothes they had in store. And I'd reach out to influencers, or people on Instagram who had, you know, good

followings. So some were like more like micro-influencers, some were bigger. And I was like, okay, can we send you some clothes? can I style some looks for you? And then they would wear those clothes. And I also started this thing where I would interview them and we'd chat about the outfits and we chat about the fashion. Anyway, kind of got obsessed with this whole styling side of it.

And as lockdown was coming to an end, I spoke to Katie as the gorgeous owner of the boutique. And I was like, look, I really think we should start pushing this styling thing. I'm really into it. I think it's really great. I think women actually really want direction. And we'd sort of offered it a little bit in store anyway, but I just really wanted to grow on it.

And as I was kind of building our Instagram and building our following through these influences, it just made sense to kind of make it more of a substantial thing. So I found a course at Lanham College of Fashion and I was like, I'd love to do this. Anyway, ended up going and doing it, falling even more in love with styling. And it was basically from then that I started kind of getting my own clients.

So at the same time as having my job, I was also building a bit of a styling business on the side. And then got introduced to gorgeous Binky Felstead, who was my first sort of celebrity. client. Oh, wow. Who's an angel. I still work with her now and she's the best. And basically from there, it's just kind of grown and it's been one of those things where it's like recommendations, word of mouth, social media is amazing.

I then started assisting the most incredible stylist called Georgie Gray, who's just incredible and she taught me so much and really kind of opened the door for me really. And it's just sort of snowballed from that. The issues that you were faced with when it comes to, comes to the likes of Binky or other big names that you've styled, the issues that they face when it comes to their styling are very similar to our gileys who are out there grinding away, working their nine to five. You know, they don't really have the time to put together, like a powerful outfit that reflects them or, you know, they're looking at their wardrobe and

they're thinking, God, I haven't worn that for like seven years. Yeah. But I don't have the hearts to throw it out. A little bit of backstory. Flick helped me with my outfit for, well, helped me. she did the entire outfit was here for my TED talk because I was like, right, I'm doing this TED talk. It's going to be probably one of the most stressful things I've ever done. I do want to wake up and be going, what do I wear? What do I wear? Flicks are something that was really interesting. Well, I was saying I wanted something that was powerful that exuded, you know, and often when I don't know what to wear, as you can probably tell by what I'm wearing right now, I jump, I opt for like a jumper or something cozy, something cozy. Because I just like, I can't think

I'm just going to go cozy something and trousers. That's it. And I didn't want that. And Flick was like, yeah, you can't do its head talk in knitwear. And I was like, too fucking right. I can't do its head talking knitwear. It was such a great experience. And I did feel so, so, so powerful. So what I wanted to do was bring Flick into all of your ears to share like the top, top tips.

So Googly Pops are listening. Yeah. They are just entering their post prefrontal cortex development era. They're post-25. They're thinking about throwing away their crop tops. They want to have a more mature style. What are your top tips for those goly pops? Okay.

So, yeah, such a transitionary age. We spoke about it when I came over to your house tonight because I like looking in your wardrobe before I start styling a client. We really are. We're leaving the uni days behind us, aren't we? Yeah. We're leaving, you know, we said that art.

There's room for some of those pieces still, like when you go on holiday or, you know, you're going out or dressing up, whatever it might be. But yeah, I do think it's a very, like, transitional stage of your life. And it's when we want to start being, you know, being taken a little bit more seriously, potentially. We're moving into our careers.

We're figuring out what we want to do, who we want to be. And so I think it's really where we start thinking about how do we want to, how do we want to show up for ourselves? How do we want to present ourselves in potentially a professional world, a creative world, whatever world you're in? At personal world as well, dating. Do you mean like a lot of people don't know what to wear on dates? And you need to think, how do you want to show up for yourself?

How do you want to be perceived? because so much of it, you know, first impressions do count. Obviously it's about what's inside. We all know that. But I do think, you know, even in a fun way, it's, it's showing, it's, it's being able to show off your personality. It's exciting. So it really is important. And I think how can you be practical and make it work for your everyday life, but also make sure you're injecting that personality. So I think it's very much about, yeah, practicality, but showing your personality. And, you know, having fun with it really and just kind of figuring out how you want to put yourself across to other people and maybe we can talk about how to do that I think do you know what as girlies like we tend to be people pleasery and I think that can often translate into what we wear where we almost want to wear things that are palatable for more people but I think when you start to become more comfortable with yourself and you're like actually I'm going to wear what I want to wear that reflects me as a person if people hate it they hate it if they like it they like it, but what's important is I'm putting my most authentic self forward.

Yes. I feel like that's like the most, I don't know. 100%. And also, if you're not feeling like yourself, you're not going to be real. You're not going to be able to nail, you know, for example, your TED talk, you need to go, OK, yeah, I wanted to elevate it for you. And I wanted you to feel like a boss bitch and be there feeling like, I can nail this TED talk. But also you don't want to go in there being like, I don't feel at all like myself.

So for example, in that situation, we know we wanted you to feel like this queen, going in there, smashing it, feeling like super professional, you know, putting across this really kind of epic vibe to your audience. But you still wanted to feel like Faye. And when we were doing your mood board, you really wanted to introduce those gorgeous lighter colours, didn't you? A colourful palette, even though we wanted to keep it professional. So for me, I was like, okay, we did these really cool balloon tailored trousers, which were a sort of a bit of a neutral brown. But I wanted that pop of colour that was going to make you feel like Faye. So instead of going for a white shirt, I went for a pink shirt instead of brown heels to go with you know which you'd maybe think would be the more obvious

choice i went for a burgundy heel because i was like how can i make sure you're feeling like yourself while also making sure it's appropriate for the scenario which is the ted talk for so long i think i've seen my version of professionalism has just been that like white shirt plain trouser boring like toned down more palatable for everyone else and like putting on the pink shirt I was thinking, God, like, I just hadn't even conceived that I could wear, like I looked like a serious girl. I looked like I was there and I meant business, but I was in bright pink. Like, you know, it was, it was such a broadening of my horizons. Girl listening right now, she doesn't have flick. What does she do to try and bring her personality

into like her everyday style? Okay, so I'm all for mood boards. I've actually been talking about mood boards since before I even started styling. Like when I was trying to become a bit of a fashion girlie on Instagram and lockdown, I would do like loads of stories and talking stories and stuff all about mood boards. Because for me, it's just the most incredible way of visualising where you want to go with your style. And so what I would say was, it is rather, is get on Pinterest. Like Pinterest can be your best friend.

Also wherever you consume media. So Instagram, TikTok, television, magazines, however it is you find inspiration. get that, get it on a board. So download Canva. Yeah, my favorite thing in the entire world. Get on Canva, download it. Get it on there. Start seeing what are you drawn to.

You're going to start seeing a pattern on that board. And also, as well as that, so finding out what you're drawn to, maybe start looking at other celebrities or, you know, influencers, whoever it is you fashion. I'm sorry, follow. If any of them look like you, I think that's a really good thing as well. Like get it on your board because similar body type, similar hair colour. similar skin coloring, whatever it might be, chances are they've got stylists, they've got glam teams. Copy them.

Like start being like, hey, hang on, so they do that with this outfit or they wear that silhouette or they wear those colours. And chances are if they look similar to you and you like their vibe anyway, it's probably going to suit you as well. So I would say if you don't have, you know, the means to have a stylist or, you know, that's what I would start doing is almost become your, use their stylist. Yeah. Do you know what I mean?

be like, you know, that's kind of what I would suggest. And so, yeah, get it on a board, get Canva, visualize it, choose some celebrities who you love their vibe and who maybe look a little bit like you and start copying and see how it feels. Yeah, nice. A service that flick off is like a wardrobe edit. So after we do our buy-or-bye-bye, we're going to come on to how the girlies can approach a wardrobe edit without you in going through their wardrobe.

How can they declutter? Okay, cool. But first, buy-or-bye-bye. So I'm going to show you something And you're going to tell me whether you'd buy it or say bye-bye to it You can give as much or as little detail as you want You know, you work away We're starting with capsule wardrobes

It's the family and friends event at shoppers drug mark Get 20% off almost all regular priced merchandise Two days only Tuesday April 28th and Wednesday April 29th Open your PC optimum app to get your coupon We'll say bye just because I understand it's necessary for a lot of people. And actually it's very, it can be, you know, time efficient. And yeah, we'll say bye for now.

Okay. Should I expand? Yeah, expand. Work away. So capsule wardrobes are great. I think they are fat and I do think we work towards them with my clients. But I'm also, I like having a bit of fun. And I don't want anyone to feel like they're constricted to this capsule wardrobe.

Or they need to have this certain amount of tops and trousers and stick in the same colour pad. And don't agree wrong, it's definitely helpful. And I do think if you have an aesthetic and a strong one that you feel, you know, strongly about, then 100% stick to it and we can work towards that. But I'm also very much one for buy that fun piece as well that you might want to wear on a night hour or, you know, invest in that cool archival design a bit, you know, that you're going to have forever. So I think, yeah, as much as I love a capture wardrobe for maybe, you know, your work wardrobe or something, I think for your actual life wardrobe, we can have a bit more fun with it.

Yeah, we've got to remember to not take the fun. Yeah, take the fun out of everything. Ballet flats. Bye. I love ballet flats. I'm here for them. I think they're fun. They're cute, cutesy, cutie girly.

Yeah, I'm into it. Nice. Wide-like trousers. Oh, bye. I'm such a wide-leg trouser girl. I am, yeah, I'm here for like a wide-leg jean, baggy jean. I was quite happy when skinny jeans were out. the picture but I do feel like kind of on their way back in a little bit aren't they especially going

into a boot so yeah but I'm here for it by love a wide leg very chic stripes stripes by I'm loving everything I love stripes stripes are cool like that nautical vibe yeah I'm into it nice classic white tea bye the eye roll there we're going to need a little zoom in on that I didn't know I don't know what just happened then that was that was crazy oh my facial expressions I swear are crazy do you have have any recommendations for your perfect classic white tea. Cause. Oh my God. They do the best white tea, just their basic white t-shirt.

I remember getting my mum onto them and she was like, oh my God. I was like, I told you, they're so good. Yeah, I think a classic white tea is like the biggest staple and get a few. Have it five in your wardrobe because you want it to be fresh and white and wash them well. Because yeah, I was always like, why would I have a classic white tea? It's just boring. Why would I waste many on that? Or especially the multiple ones because I think, why do I want?

multiple classic white teas like they do the same thing why do I want more of them and then you you realize when you have the classic white tea you can go a little bit wild with a funky sweater best or you know funky trousers it's great for layering yeah it's so good for layering also look so chic with just like a nice pair of denim jeans like a cool belt and a blazer like I'm all here for a classic white tea yeah yeah and just so good for when you're like I have zero energy actually that's my next question Okay, so you wake up one morning, you're like, right, flick is depleted. It's the morning after the Brits, you've had a big, big, big day. You're like, I, I'm a stylist and I can't afford to look like crap.

I can't afford to really go out and look awful. Yeah. What is your go-to outfit for when you're like, I have nothing to give? Like nothing. Okay, this is literally my go-to. It's normally my most daily outfit as well. Is a really good pair of jeans. Anyone who knows me knows the frame bubble.

jeans are my go-to. They're my like Bible. I have four pairs. They are an investment. I didn't buy them all at once. But I got my first pair a few years ago and kind of each year I have sort of added one to my collection. So like a white pair, like black pair and two different blues, blue washes. They're just like a really lovely barrel leg. And I like them really loose and baggy. So I throw those on a white classic tea, absolutely, or a black classic tea, whichever one but a nice boxy tea, tuck it in, sometimes a belt if I'm feeling fancy, if not nothing, a bomber jacket, I'm a bomber girl. Nice.

Big bomber jacket, I've got a few, so whichever one I fancy on the day. And probably a pair of trainers. Gorge, simple. I'm probably hair up in a slick back bun. Stern. Sorted. Crocs. I mean, I feel like really cool people can really pull them off.

Do you know what I mean? Like one of my best friends. Yeah. She'll love it if I give him a mention. she um she rocks crocs i can't like her and her husband like they all have crocs and they look cool but personally for me it's bye bye yeah so i'm a not a crook gal you're huge crook girl oh you are i think i'm telling me this oh my god i'm like so i just think i'm such a lazy person that i cannot be bothered to crouch down in high up laces yeah so this is why the ballet flats of fucking love

because i just got them i'm glad i like them you've got them right there oh no but like that's it's also so fair but the crocs they're just not like platform what's that called where they're just like that they're like um oh uh what is that called i've just come too they're like kind of chunky yeah but not like healed kind of that makes it sound so awesome a crock wedge but i've got gibbits in them as well oh the little things which you decorate them with you look horrified no i kind of like those i was going to say like do you decorate them with jewels yeah yeah so they've got what are they what are they called giblets jiblets yeah one's like a little pink milk carton like they're kind of huge stop i'm obsessed with that yeah but they they i think they're kind of funky

when i like wear them on a sunday morning i'm evidently a little bit like maybe worse for wear yeah and i've got my i've got like baggy trackies but then i've got my long like beige coat but then then my coat but then my hair like oh it looks like she just didn't really care she's all out of bed and three them yeah yeah yeah we love that she's an effortless queen yeah okay so crocs oh i feel bad now. But yeah, for me, personally, bye-bye, but I get that they're cool for other people. Me and my boyfriend, he worked on the, like, the campus where I was at uni. Yeah. So, and he would come in and, like, eat his lunch at the uni campus or whatever. And it was during when I was studying for my finals and crocs were my, I did not take my

crocs off for when I was studying because I could just chuck them off and I'd sit on my chair like this, so I didn't have to undo my trainers or whatever. I saw, I kind of like fancied him, we were kind of like seeing each other or whatever. And then I was like, I need to stop wearing my crocs to the library because like, what if he doesn't like crocs? And he's like, oh, she wears crocs. So I didn't wear my crocs. Could be. Could be.

So I didn't wear my crocs for like, I don't know, like three weeks maybe. Because I was like, oh, I'm so scared that he's going to see me in my crocs. I'm so sad. And didn't see him once. And then I was like, fuck this. I love my crocs. They're going. They're back on.

And then the day I put my crocs back on, I bump into him. And I'm like, oh, always happens. But then he's the one who bought me. these white ones that have got a wedging. So he likes the crox. I'm obsessed. I'm here for that. We love crocs.

Yeah. Okay. We now love crocs. Nice. Yeah, yeah, yeah. If they're decorated properly with fun, giblets. Yeah. Statement earrings.

Oh yeah. Bye. I love a statement earring. I mean, it's funny because I think at the moment, people have been going a little bit more paired back. So, you know, it depends on the moment. Sometimes you don't want to go to OTT. But I think when the moment's right,

statement earrings is everything. I think we need like a little, maybe just show your earrings that you've got on. Their gorge. Where are they from? Do you remember? These are guys run River Island. No way.

I kid you not. Don't they look like vintage? Yeah. I think they look so cool. They look really, really cool. I know we got them for a client the other day and we didn't end up using them for her look. And I was like, well, I'm just going to keep them. Yeah.

I got to ask, how big is your wardrobe at home or how big, how much space do you need? So you'd be surprised. I actually don't have a massive wardrobe because I'm so good at clearing out. really good at that. I do a lot of wardrobe edits to myself although I haven't done one in ages I need to but on the whole I'm very good at that and I moved a year ago

so I did do a bit of a cull at that point but I have to say since becoming a stylist especially in the last year where things have sort of ramped up it's tricky because I you know you call things in for shoots like you buy bits or for your clients

and obviously you're meant to take them back what isn't used and a lot of the time I'm like well I quite like this and it's already been bought. So I just like, just keep this in the wardrobe and I'm like, Flick, that is not the point. So yeah, it's becoming a bit of an expensive, expensive habit that I need to stop.

But yeah, I can't imagine like, you know, my pile of returns that needs to be done. Yeah. I don't even want to think about your pile of returns. It's a lot. Yeah. A lot of returns. Low rise jeans. So low rise jeans, again, bye, I'm into it.

I love a low rise. My barrel legs are pretty low rise. Again, I think like for different. figures so I yeah I quite like a yeah if you're not if you don't have a I don't know how to say this but like if you're not if you have less of a bottom which I'm very jealous I want more of a bottom um I do think low rise looks kind of cooler whereas I think if you've got like a little waist and a nice balm like high waist trousers that just depends on the body type but for me personally I'm a low rise girl we've got some community questions oh yeah cool that have been sensing to ask for you

I would love to understand how I can dress for my body type and how to actually establish what my body type is. Thank you. It's quite a difficult question to answer because I think it immediately makes me think of, you know, like all their magazines that maybe you'd see like 10 years ago and it's like, oh my God, this celebrity is not dressing for their body type.

They look awful. Yeah, I would probably say, stop for a minute and think about what part of your body do you feel confident with and maybe there are other parts you might not feel so confident with. We all have it. My arms. I don't know why. Never really liked them.

Legs very happy to get them out. So maybe start thinking about that. Like where do you feel your most comfortable or look back at all photos of yourself as well? Maybe start analyzing be like, oh, I really liked myself there. I really didn't like myself so much there. And start thinking, why? And there's going to, you know, obviously be a pattern in that. And then I would start accentuating the parts you do like and potentially just having a bit more coverage on the places you don't like.

So as I said, like today, like I'm quite happy in a short skirt with tights and boots because I'm confident with my legs. Maybe my top half I want to go a little bit more baggy. If it's the other way around, do that. If you've got a lovely little waist that you want to show off, wear something cinch that accentuates your waist and maybe more of a baggy jeans. So I think, yeah, it's kind of thinking about less. of like what body type are you, but more where do you feel the best and how can we make sure you're showing off your most confident part of yourself? In an ideal world, like we'd all feel super, super, super confident with every single part of our body and we wouldn't feel this like pressure

to look a certain way or whatever. But like even when you came around to try on my TED outfit, I was like, flick, I feel a little bit short and round and close to the ground. Like, and you didn't know what? In an ideal world, I wouldn't feel self-confidence. about maybe like my height or like being a little bit more curvy person but then Flick was like right the key for you is to feel comfortable like that the bottom line above anything else is you feeling like yourself and so she was like let's get the trousers taking it in so you feel you've got that waist cinching in because the trousers they went like quite far out and I was it it did just make me feel and then when I put them on after they've been tailors

I was like, I do feel, I do feel more comfortable. Like, you know, I do. Absolutely. Yeah, 100%. And, you know, when you feel good, you perform better. And you, you know, you want to go out into the world feeling the best version of yourself. So it's just about learning your best parts and working out how to show those off. And yeah, as I said, you know, conceal the other bits you don't like so much, which half the time, by the way, no one else notices.

It's all in our own head. But our heads are very powerful things. So, you know, if we can dress to a way that, you know, we can look in the mirror and be like, okay, I look good today, then let's do it. And I think you hit the nail on the head as well with like focusing on the good bits. Yeah. Focus on the bits you love. Yeah. Like absolutely focus on those bits because there are so many of them, do you what I mean?

And then also, once you've figured that out, then you just copy it every time. You know, you know that that's the silhouette that suits you. And then you can stick to that. I think, you know, there's, that's not boring, you know. that's like once you've got a little formula keep it going yeah we think spotlight effect we think that everyone's like staring at us and they take note of every single outfit that we have ever worn ever yeah but like if you're if you've got a formula that works no one is going to be like she's worn that silhouette in a different colour like and actually to be honest with you I think you

will end up it's quite fun you know having a bit of a as we spoke earlier an aesthetic and actually it's you know I there are very few people in the world who can literally every single day put on the most cool, like, slay, insane outfit that's different every day. And don't worry, I do know some girls who can. And I'm like, girl, you go, I'm not one of those girls. Like, I need to know my little formulas and I will stick to those. Like, as I said earlier, the frame bubble jeans, got them in four colors, because I know I look good in them. I know I feel good in them. So I'm always going to kind of create outfits around those jeans. Similarly, with my bombers, I love bombers. I feel good in them.

I think they suit me. So I'm always going to wear bombers. And so there are certain, you know, formulas that I stick by, which just means every day I'm not freaking out in the morning thinking what am I going to wear. And I also know that I'm going to look good in them. So yeah, I don't think there's anything wrong with, you know, not being in a completely different outfit every single day. Given so many of our audience are ambitious, busy women. Yeah. I think it's really, really powerful for you to admit that even as a stylist, I am not pulling out a different idea out my ass every day. God, yeah. Yeah, like I have my formulas and that helps me save time in the morning. It helps me keep my energy for like other stuff. Are there any other ways that you,

I don't know, speed up the process of putting together an outfit? Yeah, 100%. So definitely that, what you said, you know, for example, as a stylist, you're doing so many different things every day. So I remember when I first started like being freelance and going on set and for shoots and stuff, I was like, I need to figure this out. Like, I need to figure out what my, my shoot day look is. Like, because I remember the first few shoots I did, I was like, I'm so uncomfortable. I'm hot. I wasn't wearing layers, so I suddenly couldn't take something off. And I'm like, they're like dressing the models and I'm sweating and it's all getting a bit stressful. And I was like, okay, this needs to change.

Like, I need to know what I'm wearing on those days to make sure I'm going to perform my absolute best. Without also, waking up, you know, cool times can be like 7am in the morning, 6 a.m. So you're like, don't want to be thinking about it the morning of. So I'd say, yeah, for anyone who is, has got a big work week or any week, really, it's planning ahead. So if it's that Sunday night, if you've even got like half an hour and hour, set aside the looks you're going to wear. that week or even if you don't have time on a Sunday the night before your day of work do that. I think just plan ahead. Think about what's practical at work.

What's going to make you feel good? And yeah, I think preparation is key and making sure you're comfortable and layers. Layers. So you don't want layers. So you don't get hot. You don't get cold. So yeah, that's what I would suggest. So you've got your cos tea.

Yeah. Any other key layers or brands that you go for those like basic. staples. Yeah. So I'd say, yeah, your tea, get a really good t-shirt. Maybe in a few colours, if you want, or white, I love white teas and black teas. I would do denim. For me, really good denim. Like, I'm such a denim girly. Like, I was mad for it when I was at the boutique. Like, we did a lot of training as well with like a Goldie frame, J-brand, really learned, like I remember going on some like denim kind of trips, I guess. And like J-brand at the time were saying how, you know, they put the pockets in a specific place on your bum to make your bum look good.

You know, they've really thought about it. Like, they really know how to dress a woman, you know, how to flatter a woman's body rather. So for me, if you can, even if you're saving up, whatever it is, or Christmas birthday, like, I know they are an investment. They are expensive. A good pair of jeans. And go into, go into self-ages, go in or anywhere, go into a boutique, whatever it might be. Take a friend with you, take your mom, take your sister. Try on loads. Find a shape, a silhouette that really works for you. you because there are so many out there because I think people really struggle with jeans but I think you've just got to try a million on and you will find one you love and then like me stick to the same brand and style and you're sorted. So yeah, a really, really good pair of jeans would be for me as well.

So T-shirt, jeans. I would say a really lovely belt. If you're like a silver girly or a gold girly like the hardware can be either one, I'm a bit of both so I have one really nice silver hardware belt and have one really nice gold belt. I think that's just really lovely to have your wardrobe to be able to pull out,

elevates any outfit. I'd probably say a really nice blazer. Great blazer. And also these things don't have to be crazy expensive. Okay, yeah, I'm saying like invest in them. So if you can, go for it. But if not, you know, get a high street blazer and whack a little shoulder pad in. You know, you can do things that can elevate it.

Get, you know, gorgeous Sophie, who I brought to yours, the lovely tailor that I work with. You know, saucer tailor, an amazing tailor who you can work with who you can say, okay, I've gone and done a big high street shot. But can you come over to mine and can we just really elevate them? Elevate these looks. Put a shoulder pad in, which, by the way, can get on Amazon for like five quid less than. Do you what I mean? Wow.

And they can sew it in. Sinch in the blazer so it looks more, you know, so it gives you more shape. You can, they don't have to be crazy expensive. You can elevate them in other ways. But yeah, so I'd say a blazer, for sure. For me personally, like a nice bomber jacket, a trench would be great. And then shoe-wise, like maybe a lovely loafer, ballet pump, a hill boot and maybe a sling back. and that would be my little like.

Love. Probably, I don't know. And maybe a tailored trouser as well. Nice. And then you can sort of, you know, you're always going to feel pretty pulled together with all of that. Yeah. Gorge.

Just really simple sweet tweaks. Yeah. And a nice knit. You can throw over your shoulders or something. Good. Love. Okay. Coming on to the big, big, big.

The big one. Decluttering your wardrobe. Doing your own personal wardrobe edit. Yeah. How, what is your first step? You're doing wardrobe edit. for a client or for yourself. Nice.

What is the first thing that you do? Talk us through the whole process. Absolutely. Okay, so get your Canva. Get Canva up. Get your mood board going. I want this mood board to be full of exciting images of women, men, whoever it is that you like following, their style,

colours, colors, textures, clothes, anything that inspires you, get on this mood board. Any, like aspirational style, get on there. And start writing out, get on chat, GBT, if you want. I pop in the picture. that pop up in your board onto chatGBT, it will come up with all of like the key words, key pieces that are in this mood board.

And from that, you're going to basically cross-reference with your wardrobe. So start going through your wardrobe. Well, first of all, if you need to get rid of anything, stuff that doesn't fit, that is really, really old, whatever, let's get rid.

Once you've then got a bit more of a, once you've kind of, you know, got rid of the waist and strays of things that you definitely know you don't want, then it's about cross-referencing what's on that mood board to what's a new mood board to what's in, your wardrobe. So if you're suddenly like, oh, hang on, Kay, I'm seeing loads of really cool

light denim jeans on my mood board, but I don't have one pair of light denim jeans. Write that on the shopping list. Yeah. If you're suddenly like, oh, hang on a second. All of these cool girls that I'm following are wearing really cool glasses. I don't have any of those in my wardrobe. Add those to the list. Or you might be like, oh my God, hang on. Like, I love this red knit. Yeah. I've actually got a red knit in here. Amazing. That's an outfit that I can start working towards, do you know what I mean? So it's basically figuring out, it's identifying what's missing in your wardrobe. Yeah. And once you've got that, obviously then that can be your little shopping list. But if you have got pieces that you, you know, that make up these cool outfits that you

already love, start trying them on. Start trying on these, you know, copy the people that you love. And I'd say then start taking photos. So make sure you're taking photos of any outfits that you love, create a little album on your phone as something that I love doing. And yeah, that's how we kind of start building this new wardrobe. How often do you do that and how much time do you set aside to do your D-Cluster reset? Yeah. So I have a constant Pinterest board and also on Instagram I save images as well. So literally all day, every day I'm adding to my Pinterest, adding to my Instagram save.

So you can do that because think how much you're like consuming all the time. It takes two seconds to quickly just like download image or like save image on Instagram. You know you can do that little like folders. Exactly. Yeah. So I think that you can be doing just constantly. And then to be honest, it's one of my just real self-indulgent, like self-love things is a wardrobe bedded. Like if I have a night in or if a plan gets cancelled or if on a Sunday I just happen to not have plans, which obviously is just so rare these days because we're all so busy, aren't we?

I'm like, that for me is just like heaven. I'm like, get that wardrobe open. Get those clothes on the bed. I'm like, I hate you. Love you, love you, love you. And I'm just like, that is just fab to me. So I think any time you have, it also doesn't have to be a full wardrobe edit. Like, even if you've got a couple of hours, like, you know, just quickly whip up that Pinterest board, put it on the bed and just, you know, get a bit inspired and look through and, you know, think and try on as well.

Like also, if you're trying stuff on in the morning or, you know, if we're hopefully doing it the night before, if we're planning and something doesn't work, I used to have a real habit of just like putting it back to the back of my wardrobe constantly. And you're just like, but actually really think about it. Maybe leave it out. Maybe put it on a, I don't know, if you've got another area that you can like hang it on a. rail or maybe set aside a little area in your wardrobe and put it there and just have it as your like thinking rail because I think that's a really good idea as well and if like you know you've got two weeks past by and you still can't fit this piece in any looks that you're trying to put together I'd be a bit like hey it's probably time to go I found recently as I

constantly in the bottom of my wardrobe is I have a bin bag that is the charity shop bin bag yeah where I'm like because you know you can't go to the charity you're not going to be dropping off things at the charity shop when you've got one thing in there. but having that ongoing thing, that ongoing place where I can put things. So they don't just go back in my wardrobe because I'm so, so, so guilty of things, especially trousers because I'm a short girl. Trousers that don't fit me and I'm like, oh, I'm going to get it tailored. I'm going to get it tailored.

Going to get it tailored. Never get it tailored. And in the end, I just buy a petite version that actually fits me. And I'm like, oh, well, now, you know, it feels like such a waste. And, you know, I'm really bad for my returns as well because I think, oh, I can't be bothered to go down to the shop to return it. So I'll make it work somehow and I don't make it work, you know. It will stay in my wardrobe probably for about a year

before I finally go, let's cut our losses and take it to the charity shop. And someone else can give it a lot more love than I can give it, this barely worn piece of clothes. Some of us who are reluctant to chuck things away, I'd imagine you've had clients as well who are like, oh, but maybe one day I'll find something, some sort of event to wear it to. how do you like distinguish between no this is something that you should keep versus this is something that it's it's had its time it's time to say goodbye yeah so this happens all the time like people are

really emotionally connected to their clothes yeah um which I completely understand because I'm a daughter of a mother with she will kill me but like she's a hoarder that she doesn't like getting rid of anything and actually sometimes I'm like it's amazing because she's got some incredible pieces that I'm like oh my god mom like from the 90s I'm like this is epic um but sometimes I'm like no no it really is time to say goodbye to these things but Yeah, she feels really emotional about it, which I don't really have. So I can appreciate it, but I don't experience it myself. But I would say pieces to move on from would be, to honest, things that don't fit anymore.

And I think as women, we're so bad for keeping stuff and being like, oh, they're my skinny jeans or whatever. And, you know, trying to get. And the genes that we had when we were like 10 years ago, when our body's changed, we evolve. We've, you know, we're becoming adults. We are adults. And, you know, they might be genes that you had when you're at uni. So I think things like that. actually for our mental health, like let's just let's get rid of the jeans, do I mean?

Or things that are just really are too small. I think that's when we can say goodbye to them. I think things that you've invested, you know, things, more expensive pieces, you know, that you might think have maybe gone out of fashion or gone out of style. I would be leaning towards keeping those things, anything that's been an investment. I think keep them. You never know, do you know what I mean? Like something could come back around that could be really cool. Or you could even, which I quite like at the moment, which I'm seeing a lot of people do is like, lend them to your friend for a bit. You know, do a bit of an exchange? Be like, do you really, do you want to wear this for a bit?

Because, you know, chances are they're going to be like, oh my God, I bloody love that. Like, let's do it. So, you know, those things I'd keep. And a thing that's like actually got holes in that just isn't really, you know, not good quality things. Because I think we spoke about that. I was like, again, this transitional age where you're really successful, your career's thriving, you know, wanting to be taken seriously. I think pieces that we've had in our wardrobe for a while

that maybe a little bit fast fashiony, a little bit cheaper, I do think we can start putting those to the side as well, giving them to charity and elevating and maybe someone a little bit younger might enjoy them. So I'd say, yeah, be looking at timeless pieces that you've invested in, keep, even if you're not wearing them right now

or let a friend borrow them or a sister or whatever it might be. Keeping and, yeah, and getting rid of anything, that is too small for us or that actually just isn't very good quality and that we can now start elevating because we're at that stage of life where we can. Because I think this was a big problem for me when I was trying to do my declutter is I look through my wardrobe and it was like dare I say the brand names like a lot of things from boo-hoo printout thing that I probably spent a five on. They're just so shit quality.

Yeah. They're trend driven. I probably wore them for three months maybe if that. And then they're stuck at the back of my wardrobe and obviously that's, not the attitude I'm bringing into the second half of my 20s. It's, you know, those timeless pieces. But I think that can be difficult making the transition when maybe you don't know where to shop. So, goateys, mid-20s, they're going through this transition period.

They want things that are higher quality going to stand the test of time. Where are you shopping? Okay, so obviously budget dependent because I do still think there's incredible high street shops like your zara's your mangoes your river islands you know they are all fab um arquettes and stuff but if you're wanting to invest a little bit more gets pieces that are really going to as you said stand the test of time yeah i would go to um selfridges it's got such a good range go to floor three floor three in selfridges okay floor three on self at selfridges and you're going to find your marges you're going to find your sandros you're going to find your denim your denim um um um

area which has got every single pair of jeans you could ever want. You're going to be finding your Frankie shop. You're going to be finding your reformation. Do you know what I mean? Just your mid-range. So you're not, this isn't like high-end designer. This is mid-range, which I really do think personally, when you're hitting your mid to late 20s into your 30s,

I do think it's just going to fit us so much better. It's going to flatter us so much better. You know, because when you're young and you're a teenager, you can kind of pull anything off, can't you? But I think you are now looking for those a little bit more. elevated silhouettes. And, you know, I think, yeah, I think that's where you want to be going. And that's where you're going to be finding your slightly more, you know, professional

adult brands. When you're 18 and you're like, oh, my God, I've got adult money. And you're like, I'm going to buy 20 different items from boohoo, a pretty little thing because they're all super ridiculously cheap. Yeah. Oh, my God, isn't this amazing having adult money? You can just buy so much. and actually like no one needs, I don't know, you know, 30, 40 top crop tops in their wardrobe, which is just ridiculous.

And like I think part of, I guess, I don't know, maybe you probably, maybe you don't agree because you're a stylist, you probably have so much clothes. But the, I guess a huge way that we could all avoid needing to declutter is probably being like more intentional with like what we're purchasing. Yeah. Finding new pieces to add to your wardrobe. Do you have any like tips of, I don't know, maybe you've done an online shop, you've done an in-person, you've gone to floor three. What's your approach to adding things? Yeah. So again, so I'm so boring going back to this mood board again.

Yeah. But with this mood board, it really is just constantly cross-referencing this. So I think, you know, if you've done this wardrobe better and you've now got these pieces that are, that you realize are necessary to create the aesthetic you want, then that's what you should be buying. those little bits. If you then start seeing, you know, this is a constant adding situation.

As I said, I'm always saving on Pinterest. I'm always saving on Instagram. If I start saying, oh, hang on, okay, I'm really drawn to this, I don't know, type of boot, but I don't have that boot. Then I'm going to go and invest in that. So I would really suggest don't buy on whims.

Don't go on like, don't wrong. Sometimes it's really fun to go out with your girlfriends or your mum or your sister or whatever and be like, I'm actually, no, I'm going to buy that. I'm not saying don't do that. But if you're really thinking you want to be adding to your wardrobe, you do have to think. about it and I would really start

just thinking, okay, what's missing and then go shopping with intention and then you're going and actually you're going to research what type of boots you want to get because I did that before in the past where I would just go out and just buy something on a whim and then I'd be like, oh fuck like I've seen another pair of boots I'd way would have preferred

you know what I mean which actually is really annoying so what you can do once you've really identified what's missing is then be like okay now this is the fun part let's go find this pair of boots that I'm desperate for and that's where you can go to level three of salvages and go try on all of the boots on that floor or, you know, all of the blazers, whatever it might be. So shopping with intention, I think is really important. And you also don't

need to buy something straight away either. You know, you can think about it and keep making sure when you're getting dressed in the morning, do you keep going, okay, now I do you really want those boots? I don't know, those boots really would be really good with this outfit. Do you know what I mean? So like really think about it. I mean, there is another thing that I use. Actually, it's an app called index. Okay. I, dy X.

I use this a lot of my clients. And it's basically where you digitalize your wardrobe. Wow. It's incredible. This app. I really want my own app

one day. But this one is not mine. Speaking of existence. Literally. And what we do is basically yeah, basically your whole wardrobe on this app.

So it's quite time consuming but it's really worth it. And once it's on there, it's literally like, did you ever watch Clueless? Yeah. Yeah. It's like having a clueless moment.

So you can just like flick through. And what I do is, is like go on to Google, like, images and basically get proper, like, nice flat lays. So it's not, so you can take photos of your wardrobe, but I personally don't think it, it's not as aesthetically pleasing or, like, visually pleasing. So I like to actually go on, like,

photograph the thing, find the actual flat lay and put it in. So it really does look like you're on, like, a shop's website. And then what you can do is, what I do with a lot of my clients is they will, I will then have access to their app. And I will style looks on their app. And then you can literally schedule it. So it could be like, K, Flick,

I'm going on holiday. holiday, can you style a load of outfits for me and put it in this particular like, like, I don't know, Barcelona file. And then they'll go into that and they can see all the outfits that I've put together from that. But what's also really clever about the app is you can add pieces. So for example, say I did want that pair of boots that I was talking about earlier. Yes. I could be like, okay, let's take the flat lay off self-fegers, whatever it is, or whatever brand it might be, and add it into my app and see how many outfits I can put these boots with. Yeah. You know, so you can really start seeing, okay, can I,

you know, how many outfits, how many looks can I make sure, you know, or how many events have I got coming up that I'm going to wear these boots to? So that's also another thing that you can do just to make sure you're not, you know, splurging on random stuff, which never gets worn. That sounds like the best girl maths ever. Yeah. You put it on and you're like, right, well, I can get 12 different outfits on that. So maybe the boots is 200 pound, but divided by 12.

Cost per wear. Literally, yeah, exactly that. So it's quite clever. I'm going to come on to real or not real. It's basically I will show you a video from social media. You will let me know what your professional opinion is on this video. My colour, not my colour. My colour, not my colour.

My colour, not my colour. My colour, not my colour. My colour, not my colour. My colour, not my colour. What the big community question was, is colour analysis a scam? How do I know what suits me? colour analysis?

No, definitely not a scam. I know a lot of people do it. I don't actually personally offer it. Funny enough, someone else asked me this the other day. I'm here for it if you're, you know, a lot of stylists do offer it. And I think Fab, that's like part of their thing. And it's great. I've never been mad for it personally just because I, I go off vibes.

And I just think like, wear a color that makes you happy. I'm just, do you know what I mean? I'm just here for that. And I'm like, you know, I, yeah, I think it's all about how something makes you feel. And if you're like going out into the world feeling amazing because you love a certain colour, I'd hate to be the one to be like, sorry, Han, that's not your, that's not on your colour chart and you'd be like completely bummed about it. Or I remember even at the boutique when I, you know, years ago now, some women who, you know, were quite nervous about dressing or

whatever would be there with their wheel chart and like making sure that each piece they were picking up was, you know, in this colour. And then they brought, oh, there's no colours that are my, you know, none of them work for me here or, and I actually just kind of made me a bit sad. And I'd be like, I hate the fact you're so like stuck in this box if you got to wear these. colours. So, you know, I think it has its place and I'm not like slagging it. But I just think for me, it's all about how something makes you feel. And if, you know, if a colour feels great and it feels right, bloody wear it. He cares or it's not your colour or not. I did like an online one just like out of interest and it told me that I was a cool spring, I think, which is supposed to be like light,

fresh colours, like the blues, the baby pinks, which I absolutely love. And do look fab on you. Well, that was like all of the things, the looks we put together. Yeah, but I think that was also going off like vibes. Yeah. Whatever, I'm like a pale, blonde person. So, you know, it makes sense. But then what was absolutely like a do not go was a red. And I was like, oh my God, I love a red.

Yeah. So I was like, fuck that. I love a red. Exactly. You love a red. Exactly. So it's like, God, imagine just saying, you know, your favourite colour and being like, you can never wear that again for the rest of your life.

Literally devoured. Yeah. And, yeah. And then, no, actually, I remember this person who I spoke to about. And she was said that this, her friend actually was a stylist. And she told her she could never wear black. And but this woman loved like, she loved her chic black outfits. Like, she's like such a vibe.

And she said her friend would then always rock up and really chic black outfits. And she was like, I'm raging. Like, I'm really jealous that you get to wear all these cool chic outfits. She was like, no, this doesn't, this isn't fair. And I was like, well, wear the black if you want to wear the black. You know, like let's not feel like we're in any boxes. That sounds like sabotage. Doesn't it?

I was like, it made me laugh. I was like, loll. She looks really great in black. Never relapse for black again. But another question that we got is what are the fashion and style trends you see emerging? Maybe ones that you maybe hate their emerging or maybe also love that are emerging. So a funnel neck, which I'm wearing today. I love a funnel neck.

I feel like that ever at the moment. These kind of cool little jackets. I think they're a vibe. So yeah, I'm into that. What else? I would say brooches. I'm obsessed. I'm obsessed with the brooch.

I absolutely love it. I think anything to elevate an outfit, add an accessory. I think it's such a vibe and I also think it's such a good way of again, you know, earlier when I was saying how if you want to elevate something that maybe is high street, you know, budget dependent,

adding a little shoulder pad or cinching in, add a brooch. Like, and you don't have to, you know, you could even go and get a really cool vintage one, like go and get a vintage little designer one or something or even like, you know, sometimes like we've got a cool one in Parsons Green actually, I don't know if there's any Parsons Green

person's green girl he's listening, but under the bridge on a Munster Road, there's a really cool, jewelry sort of warehouse showroom thing which is all from like old films and TV shows and stuff anyway it's like the cheapest gold jewelry

but it's amazing it's like it almost feels like a like a treasure chest it's incredible so like go there if anyone needs any like gold chains or anything but they've got loads of cool brooches you know places like that like even like carboot cells and stuff you can find some gems and just adding those to a blazer or like a jumper

her I think is really cool. There's a really cool guy I follow actually who you should all follow on Instagram called Fuchsia Shaw. Okay. No, no. She's so cool. She's a babe.

She owns, oh, her name's Amy Fuchsia, but she owns Fusher Shaw. And she did this really cool little TikTok and real of basically using a brooch to feel if you're wearing like a lovely, like, for example, knit jumper with a white t-shirt underneath.

You can kind of slightly lift up your jumper and like pin a brooch into it. so then it kind of exposes the t-shirt a bit. I'm not describing it very well. Go to her Instagram. You'll see what I mean. So stuff like that as well could be really cool with a brooch.

So yeah, funnel necks and brooches. I'm here for them. Gorge. Another question that we got asked, how to make a boring outfit cute? Oh, okay. Boring outfit cute. I would say accessories,

layering and like balancing. So I would say... What's balancing? Excuse my experience. No, no worries at all. So balancing is all about, so for example, if you've got like a really cool pair of like burgundy loafers. So this is actually a look that I did for a client today. She's doing something cool today. So I did this look for her. She got these really cool burgundy loafers. I then, she was wearing a kind of nice pair of grey tailor trousers. I then added this lovely shirt with like a kind of very thin burgundy stripe running through it. I then wanted like wanted to balance out the shoes and the burgundy detail on the shirt with like a nice little burgundy and silver detail belt. So it's kind of like top and tailing your eye. outfit to make sure you've got similar colors running throughout. So I always call that balancing. So just making sure you're not all like burgundy at the bottom and then absolutely nothing at the top. And I'm not saying be like super matchy matchy where you're like, you know, it all has to be,

you know, matching. But I do think it's nice just like aesthetically when you're looking at it's more pleasing to the eye when you're like you've got those kind of you're tapping into that color a few places. Or for example, you've got some silver earrings in. Let's add a bit of silver hardware to the belt. Do you know something like that? Just so you're kind of going, it's kind of drawing your eye and being like, oh, this. This is an outfit that's cohesive. This feels enjoyable to look at. Enjoyable.

Do you know what I mean? Yeah. Unaccessaries, I'd say, any simple outfit, whack a nice pair of earrings on. Glasses at the moment. I mean, I got you a really cool pair from Jimmy Fairley. Oh, no. They're so cool. Like, they just, how much do they elevate an outfit?

Like, just make you look. Unreal. Also, by the way, I don't need glasses and I still wear them. I just wear the clear, clear frames. Like, you don't have to. Clear frames? Clear things. Do you don't actually need to have to wear glasses?

So I would do that. And then, you know, whack a little, like, nice coloured knit over your shoulders or something. Just layering. I love layering. Layer up. That always, like, adds interest to an outfit. So even if you're wearing, like, a simple white t-shirt and jeans and a bomber, then pop a cool, like, colourful knit over the top and tie it around your shoulders.

Do you have a favourite place where you get your knits? I mean, I love American vintage. Nice. Probably my absolute favourite. It is a little bit of a splurge. They're not, like, super, you know. cheap but they are gorgeous and they do the most incredible colours they're so cool so i say american vintage i absolutely love but also like someone like arquette yeah great knits really nice thick

lovely nets um uh so i'd say that they'd be my two my two tops so another question that we got asked was which celebrities or public figures at the moment do you love for their sense of style oh my god i'm obsessed yes yes her amazing stylist Simone. Wow, I'm just obsessed. Like everyone always says they like TikTok the whole time, like the whole time that her stylist loves her. And it's so true.

Like, fuck, she looks good. Oh my God. Everything she wears. She is someone who's so as well, like it just dresses for her. Well, I say, I don't know her, but for her personality. Like I really feel like it's so her. Do you know what I mean?

It feels quite unique. And, um, yeah. Good. Like feminine. Yeah. But like, but not too try hard and not too like intimidating. Yeah. Kind of like.

Yeah, quite like simple, but in a really girly, beautiful, chic, amazing epic way. Yeah. So yeah, I adore her style. I think she's absolutely killing it. I'm a huge Duelieper fan. Oh, yes. I love her style. Her style is called Lorenzo.

I think he's worked with her literally since the very beginning, like over 10 years. I've been following their like style evolving journey the whole time. And I think they're just the coolest. I love how they're like such great mates. I watched something I can't remember it was on YouTube but there's an amazing

I think it is there's amazing little video you can go see on YouTube where he talks through all of her most recent tour outfits

so if you're a Doolieper fan a fashion fan a Lorenzo fan wow it's so cool like the most incredible archival designer pieces and they've worked with amazing fashion houses

to like do all of her looks and stuff and that's really cool if you like that kind of thing so yeah she for me I love it

I love because I do I like things a little bit different I don't like yeah I like things to be a little bit wacky and a little bit out there, a little bit edgy. And so I feel like she just hits all those briefs. Margo Robbie absolutely smashed it.

I mean, obviously the Wuthering Heights. I know, I can't remember the name of the stylist who did that, but he's amazing. I think she said he was a history major. So he was really into all of like the historical references of Wuthering Heights and was really like, yeah. And you can really tell that through the looks, I think. So love her. Sorry, I'm really going for it now. No, no, no, I love.

I love. Who else do I love? I don't think if there's any like men. I mean, Jacob Allardy, his style. Obsessed. Oh my God. I'm like, that is the coolest. He like has the most insane collection of like man bags.

Love. If you look at all of his outfits, every single outfit has the most insane like bettega, like incredible betagga bags, which I am just like in love with. So yeah, man bags. I'm into it. Allow men to be more feminine. It's such a powerful. And I feel like when you think of a man bag,

you think of like a small man bag that my stepdad always had this sort of like Prada man bag that we used to make fun of him of but we just really mean looking back. But now like they're actually like Jacob for example is wearing like big you know like our big base. Jacob.

My good mate. He like literally has these big chunky bags which I'm here for because I'm like guys have shit to carry too. Yeah. Oh I love that. Yeah. And you said something about like you really like it when people push the boat

out and yeah this is a conversation that I was having with a friend about someone who got married yeah and their wedding dress was not my personal we were discussing what they wore for their wedding yeah wouldn't have been something I personally liked however it was something that felt so them was really pushing a boundary and we were having this conversation I said didn't like the wedding dress but that is the point if you wear a wedding dress that everyone likes surely you don't like it like you're trying to be for everyone you were being for no one. And I just truly, even though I didn't personally like that person's wedding dress or wouldn't wear it for myself, I loved it for them because I thought you have chosen that based on what you love, not what like what you thought

everyone was going to be like, going to say was beautiful. I don't know. 100%. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So well, brides. I mean, I work with a lot of brides actually as one of my favorite things to do. It's just epic being there for that whole journey. And I always say that I'm not. Like, don't dress how you think a bride should dress. Yeah. Dress like yourself, for an elevated version. And obviously, you know, you're in your bride, Leera. Like, you want to, you know, not everyone does, but a lot of my brides, they want to go all

out. They do want to feel like a bride. But I'm like, that's great. But like, let's think you, how do we bring this personality in, your personality to do into it? Sorry. You know, so if you are like an accessories girl, let's get that nice little neck scarf and, you know, let's get that, you know, cool pair of sunglasses. I don't know.

If you're getting married, Ibitha, for example, that one of my best mates. I mean, she is just this friend of mine, such a fashion girlie, and she had every accessory under the sun. And I was like, I love this. And whether some people thought that was too much or not, I'm like, as you said, go for it. Like, because if that's what you would wear on a summer holiday, like, whack it into your wedding outfit as well.

Like, why not? Like, be that girl. I'm here for it. Do you have any advice for any of the girls listening who maybe they want to be a bit more bold with choices? Maybe they're seeing their Olivia. or, you know, people that they think, oh, I love the way that they dress, but they, or they've seen, like, things on their shopping list that are like, oh, I'd love to get that,

but I don't know if it's too much. I don't feel confident enough. Do you have any tips for those goalies in finding that confidence in themselves to be a bit boldest, be a bit more, be a bit more out there? Yeah, 100%. So as we were saying earlier, no one's actually watching. Like, no one's judging you. And if they are, then they're not your mates anyway.

and they clearly have a very boring life because I think anyone that's judging anyone for what they're wearing is lame. So goodbye to them. And I think, yeah, no one's looking at you. Go out there. Just fucking go for it. We live once.

Do I mean, like if it doesn't work out, if it doesn't land, lull, funny, like, are you kidding? I've gone down in history with my friends because I will basically call it my highlighter outfit because I rocked out in a full neon yellow, top skirt, like fully. I thought I looked so cool.

like absolutely loved it. It was horrendous. We all laugh at it now. Give a shit. Like, it's funny. Do I mean? So even if you do wear something and it doesn't land,

it's hilarious. It's for the plot. It's funny. It's like a good story. But chances are you are going to wear it. You're going to feel great. You're going to look great. Your mates are going to be like,

hang on, where's that from? So I would just say, have the confidence. And if it doesn't work, just laugh at yourself. And if they're your mates, they'll laugh with you too, do you know what is life if when you're older,

you can't have, you know, your kids being like, what the hell was that? Yeah. What were you wearing? Literally. Even you look back. I don't think you've lived unless you're looking back at old pictures and you're like,

oh my God, what was I thinking? It's about growing up. It's that and it's evolving. Like we're all going to do that. I'm sure there's stuff now we're going to wear and we're going to look back in 10 years time and be like, well, the hell was I thinking? Like, fashion's change as well. Like I look back at pictures of my mum and she looks younger now than she did when she was

like 20. I feel like, you know, that style in like the 80s. It was like so strange. And they all look. really old and I'm at the time she was like flick this was like so trendy I'm like you go girl do you know I mean like so yeah I think you've just got to take that risk realize you live once and if you really want to wear something wear it I think um yeah I think that we should all champion that for each other 100% and I think that also begins with not chatting shit about other people's

outfits yeah you know like if you if you're someone who chats shit about other people's outfits I think you are only setting yourself up for failure where like you're chatting shit about other people's outfits so you think that other people are going to be chatting shit about your outfits so you're not going to be like bold. Because also we all know like when you're talking about someone, when anyone's bitching about anyone it's because they're insecure themselves. No self-assured, happy human

is taking the time to be mean about anyone else. So it's like yeah, it all comes from insecurities which is kind of sad. You just got to feel sorry for those people. Yeah, no 100%. Yeah. It has been an absolute pleasure and enjoy it and I know that like so many of the girls are going to have so many actionable

tips that can help them, you know, in their personal style journey. So it's the end of the podcast, which means it's time for the question that I've been asking all the guests, which is Flick, what do you wish every woman knew by the time she was 25? Actually, just being your most authentic self is generally the most beautiful thing you can be and do. I think there are so many years that I spent dressing a certain way because I thought I should or, you know, doing your hair a certain way being a certain size or I don't know, I think you're, you know, you're so desperate to fit in when you're younger, aren't you? And be cool and be potentially this person that you think you need to be to, I don't know, be in a certain group of friends or whatever. But actually

being you, and I mean that in like every sense of the words. So like yourself, you know, emotionally, dressing, being true to yourself and what you want to do in life, all of those things. The minute you start actually doing what you want to do for you, you are going to to look and be your most beautiful and you're going to attract the right people because if you're not being yourself, you're not going to attract the right people. And I think it just becomes this whole thing of just yeah, really aligning with yourself. And once you're aligned, I think everything else aligns as well. So yeah, just try and be you. And I know it's hard. It's not easy. But eventually, I do think 25 is when you start getting to that point where you go, do I'm good

in myself. And I'd, because you can't keep it up forever, not being yourself. And so I think, yeah, the sooner you realize that, the more that the inner happiness is going to, it's going to flourish. It's exhausting. It's exhausting not being yourself and trying to fit a box. So I think that is what a lot of women need to hear. So thank you so, so much for giving up your time today to come on the podcast. It's been an absolute joy.

Thank you for having me. I loved it. Thank you so much.
