    Thinking of buying (more) new clothes? Ask yourself these questions first.

    Why am I buying this? How often do we ask ourselves this question before we make a purchase, and is it the only one that will help us make a more considered purchase? From fit, to comfort, to values, we run through all the questions we ask ourselves before making a purchase. Hopefully this discussion helps the next time you're thinking about buying something!

    Is it a 'fit' or is it just Pinterest? Why your outfits never look like the inspo photo

    Is it a "fit" or do we just like the vibes they're giving? In today's episode, we break down why carbon copying a fit from the gram or Pinterest can be detrimental to personal style, and how to use outfits we see online as inspiration rather than shopping envy.
