Fashion Dilemmas: Answering The Office's...

MAMAMIA PODCASTS
About this episode

This week, we're switching things up a little... we've gone around the Mamamia office to find out exactly what fashion problems are keeping the team up at night. Tamara Holland and Lucinda Pikkat are answering them all.

Ever wondered where fashion people actually get their inspiration? Hint: It’s not just doom-scrolling Instagram. Tam and Lucinda are opening up their little black book of resources, from the app that acts like a "fashion bible" to the Substack newsletters that predict trends before they happen. We're getting into which undies work best under those tricky slip skirts and which shoes you could walk all day in that aren't just a pair of sneakers.

Lucinda's Budget: Havaiana's Slim Square Solid $44.99

Tam's Budget: Ceres Life Mila Short $59.99 

Lucinda's Boujie: Angus The Label Ti Amo Silk Scarf $109.95

Tam's Boujie: Morrison Marnie Anglaise Shirt $299.00
