Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
I need ten or fifteen skirts from Calvin Kleive. Sometimes
I would buy bog instead of dinner. I just felt
it said anymore. This is Taylor Talk with your host
Sammy Rose. If you're thinking of doing a revamp of
your wardrobe before winter arrives, this episode is for you.
Maybe you're overdue for some new clothes to refresh your look.
You still want to stay timeless. This is a list

(00:23):
of items I think you need to have in your
wardrobe that will make dressing in the cooler months very chill.
See what I did there. I laughed at myself when
I wrote this little pun on the paper. Gosh, I'm funny. Okay.
Number one A heavy coat that can be dressed up
or down. One that you wear to the office over
your chic corporate attire, but you can also wear over
a hoodie, jeans and sneakers to a footy game on

(00:44):
the weekend. Let's go for versatility. I've got one. It's
in a camel color from Deck Juba. It's long. I
wore it so much last winter. It works with a
lot of my wardrobe. Also, I don't know if I'm
pronouncing that brand correctly. I love their clothes deck Juba
dec juba. If I am pronouncing it incorrectly, I'm so sorry.

(01:05):
Please slid into my dams on Instagram and let me
know how to correctly pronounce it. But also choose a
color you think will suit your look. So it might
not be camel, maybe black or navy would better go
with what you have in your wardrobe already. Next up,
stylish but comfy boots. If you can't afford RMS, which
I think is most of us, there's plenty of affordable
stylish options out there. I like a little bit of

(01:28):
a heel because I'm a short girly and I feel
like it makes my legs look a bit longer. But
if you're not comfy in a heel, of course a
flat boot is fine too. I have boots in both
black and brown, but if you're on the hunt for
one pair and that's all you can budget at the moment,
cause he lives guys, I recommend going black it literally
goes with everything, or a dark brown similar to an R. M.

(01:49):
Williams boot. Some cheaper options are always available at fsw kmart.
I have a black short heeled pair from Target that
I bought three years ago. And I'll be wearing them
again this winter. They've lasted me just fine, and I
think they cost me thirty dollars. A Third on the
list a pair of versatile jeans. Jeans is a bit

(02:10):
of a controversial topic lately, I'm talking about whether or
not you would wear skinny jeans, So apologiest any gen
Zetas or gen zs that are listening. I think you
should wear whatever makes you feel good. I still own
skinny jeans, and I sometimes still wear them, although lately
I do feel myself I must admit wearing my wide
leg jeans more often. I just think they're more comfortable

(02:32):
and flattering on my figure. I always recommend when you
are buying jeans going for a dark blue rinse instead
of something lighter or with details. I think that color
is flattering on everyone, and a gene color that will
work well with most of the things that you already
have in your wardrobe. Next up on the list a
couple of foolproof cardigans or turtlenecks. So invest in a big,

(02:55):
comfy jumper that will look chic but also protect you
from the chill of cold winds in the middle of winter,
especially if you have to go out to weekend sport
like Saturday mornings. If you've got little ones, you want
something that has a turtleneck. And the great thing about
a turtleneck is it also keeps your neck warm and
still translates well to the office, so you can wear
it on the sideline underneath your big CapMan doo jacket

(03:18):
with your big duffle coat, but still it'll still look
chic when you pair it back and just have the
turtle neck, especially as well in some offices I know
if yours are like mine, where the air conditioning is
so good, sometimes it's also a bit cold. Back to footwear.
Next on the list some quality sneakers. So just like

(03:39):
boots that I mentioned earlier, sneakers are one of those
staple shoes that can be worn with so many different
outfits and also to work if you're in a more
relaxed work environment. I have a pair of white connies
that I wear them gosh at least four times a week,
not just during the week to work, but also on
the weekends with my leggings some big chunky socks. They're

(04:01):
big enough that I can also wear the chunky socks
during those really cold months as well. And last, but
certainly not least, something that I think people tend to overlook.
Get yourself a cute cap or a beanie that you
really really love. I'm not a hat girly. I never
have been. I have a large head for a lady,

(04:22):
I have been told, so sometimes finding a hat is difficult.
But about a year ago I bought myself a couple
of nice caps from the Iconic and I've got like
a little Tommy Hillfiger one or even just want like
the New York Knicks ones in two different colors. So
I've got one in a navy another in La a
cream coffee mocha color, which I love. And it just

(04:43):
means I have options when I want to match my
hat to my outfit, especially if I'm just ducking out
to the shops and I don't want to do my hair,
or I'm heading out for a walk with a friend
and I still want to look nice. It's one of
those easy things that you can do, like coordinating colors
in your outfit, that just makes you look more put to.
So I definitely recommend that spend the thirty bucks or
the forty bucks on a nice cap or a beanie.

(05:06):
If you're more of a beanie girl, and I promise
you won't regret it. So that's it. That's my list
of things for you to have in your capsual wardrobe
this winter. I hope it's been helpful. Talk soon and
stay fabulous.
