Nothing To Wear

If your Pinterest board is full of beige trenches and crisp white shirts but your actual closet makes you feel "meh," this episode is for you. This week, Leigh is joined by fan-favourite Sam Preston to debunk the biggest misconceptions surrounding the infamous capsule wardrobe.
Sam's reassuring us that a true capsule isn't a restrictive number, it’s a vibe. They’re getting into why you might be failing at the "classics" and how to incorporate fun trends and colours without losing your personal style.
Plus, we’re getting into some of our favourite winter picks in Boujie To Budget with maxi skirts for winter and our favourite trenches of the season. Whether you're a monochrome lover or a dopamine-dressing devotee, it’s time to stop cutting and pasting from social media and start dressing for who you are today.

Is personal style still "personal" if it’s shaped by an algorithm? This week, Tam and Lucinda are deep diving into the fashion zeitgeist and figuring out how to maintain your individual style in a world heavily influenced by what's trending on social media.
