33: 5 Things Actually Worth the Money in Your Wardrobe

from Life in Colour · host Ashley Longstaff

This week's episode is inspired by something doing the rounds on Instagram, the "worth the money" trend, but from my perspective as a personal colour stylist. I'm not talking about must-have basics or trend pieces. I'm talking about the five things I genuinely think are worth investing in if you want your wardrobe to actually work for you, not against you. In this episode I cover: Why a properly fitted bra is the real foundation of every outfit (and how often this gets overlooked) The difference between trend neutrals and your neutrals — and why wearing the wrong ones could be working against you Why tailoring matters more than price, and how a $20 op-shop find altered properly will always beat an ill-fitting $200 piece The case for one genuinely good coat, blazer or jacket in one of your best colours, not a safe neutral Why knowing your colours (not guessing them) changes everything else on this list I also share what my own everyday neutrals look like as a Light Summer, versus my daughter's as a Deep Autumn, to show just how different "the basics" can look depending on your colouring. If this episode has you wondering what your own colours actually are, you can find out through a Virtual Colour Analysis with me — done online, at your own pace, no guesswork involved. 👉 lovingcolour.au/colour-analysis If you enjoyed this episode, I'd love it if you'd subscribe or leave a review — it genuinely helps more women find the show.
