How to look great without spending a fortune

Style for Life

Show Notes

There is a common myth that looking great is directly correlated to spending heaps of money. This is a fallacy. This weeks podcast explores all the ways you can look and feel great without spending heaps of money on clothes. My 10 top tips on how to do this include:

Know what suits you – colour, style and personality Shop for items on sale Shop outside the current season - swimwear in winter, jerseys in summer Go to car boot sales / preloved vintage fairs Pre loved shops Air-points, hot points and other promotions Quality over quantity – see the last episode on fibres. Multi season and multi way pieces - wear your clothes everywhere. Capsule wardrobes Mend and repurpose fabric and clothing Be mindful of grooming and make up

For the past few years I have had the privilege of being a delegate at NZ Fashion week in Auckland. This is a coming together of all people in fashion, a chance to see what is coming up for the new season and a great chance to talk fashion non stop with people who are interested lol. In this episode I discuss the shows I went to, a little bit about the designers and what we can expect in the season ahead. I also discuss the history of NZ Fashion week and how it has evolved. If you are interested in the Christchurch version of Fashion week which is 15 - 18th of October please click the link below to book tickets.
