Talking About Clothes with Holly Chayes – Details, episodes & analysis

In this episode, Shehla and I talk about developing her personal style growing up in Pakistan, and the culture shock of shopping for clothes in the US. We discuss the contrast between shopping for clothing designed to fit a standardized set of measurements versus clothing that is custom-made for you and your body and your preferences.

We originally recorded this conversation in 2021, and I'm so excited to share it with you.

We do talk a lot about bodies and sizing in this episode, so if that is something that is sensitive to you, please, please listen with care or listen in next time.

Our conversation covers 

1. Having a capsule or minimalist wardrobe and finding a "uniform" that works for you.

In this season of the podcast, we're having conversations about changes in our wardrobes and lives. These conversations took place at the end of July and beginning of August 2020. 

In this season, we talk about:

• Taking the time and effort to investigate your own style and preferences
• How stark the difference can be between our aspirations and our reality, even when we achieve the transformation we've been desiring
• And after all the time and effort how sweet the rewards that come along with being courageous enough to change your style are.
