She mentioned some great kids brands, so if you are looking for some, definitely take notes, and what she thinks will be trendy in 2025. I hope you guys love today's episode and my raspy post-cold voice. Let's go get dressed with Tessa Barton. Hey, Tess. Hi, babe. Welcome back to the show. Thanks for having me. I'm so honored. Thrilled to have you back. I remember when we did the last recording with you and Cole, that was like one of our highest charting episodes for a long time.
1:16Gosh, stop. I'm honored. Like you are crushing life. So that means a lot. Thanks. I love the like podcast switch that like this is so you. I'm feeling every episode. I'm like, get it, Liv. Thanks. I think it's one of those things where like when you're young and I love having this conversation with you because I feel like you and I were in the Wild West at the same time wearing the same cowboy hat, you know, in the wild. I'm still wearing the cowboy hat. Still in the Wild West of social media, figuring it out. But like there's an era of that. We were throwing pasta at the wall and seeing what sticks.
1:43And eventually I was just like, you know, I found my thing. Let's just stick to that. Let's just stay there. That's just part of getting older, too. Great. We're getting older. fab yeah hey it's cute it's fun well last time we had you on the show to talk all about the tezza app but today we're really here to talk about your personal style which you know that i love so much every time i see you i'm just like she looks so good yeah right i'm you're my like okay i'm gonna be chiquer i'm gonna be more like sophisticated but i always kind of go back to my grungy roots so just a little bit would you consider your style to be grungy i think that's like the inner rock star on you that just came out yeah right right I actually do think though that's where like my heart sits yep and when I go to get dressed I have to resist a little bit I'm like oh like I want to wear I don't know I think like when I was in my music era and playing shows and stuff there was nothing better than like an outfit that came to life on stage and life just isn't that fun like I mean it is kind of fun like that but you don't get to wear something that extreme.
2:46That is like a live like that. Yeah. I think that's kind of why I loved like living in New York City. You would just wear anything and walk down the street and it's like a performance. You're like, everyone's looking. I love it. It feels so good when you nail it. I miss those days. Now it's just the outfits get seen inside my house. Oh, no one's saying like I take a picture and that's how I hope you see it. I actually wonder because there's someone coming to mind for me. I wonder if there's somebody, an artist right now who you love what they wear on stage. And it like makes kind of gives you that same feeling.
3:12Let me think. Well, who do you have? I think Maggie Rogers is like epic at stage clothing and doesn't reinvent the wheel. Like I actually think her last tour, she was just in like a ballerina leotard and like a skirt and tights and was swapping out the colors for every show. And people were commenting on her Instagram as being like, where did you get this? And she's like, girl Capizio. She's like the dance store. The dance store. Nothing's changed. The dance store. I love that. Well, I'm such a, you know, I love Florence and the Machine and I love just her like only she can do what she's doing because it's so authentically her yes and seeing her live just in these like dresses and stuff I don't know I'm just like wow like I'm not going to be wearing that in my day today but I just love her doing it okay speaking of performance art I do think that your style falls a lot into that category I see you as an artist I've never anytime you and I have chatted and we've been like oh I'm in the influencer space or like stuff like that.
4:11I'm like, no, no, no, no. Like all of your photos and all of your looks almost feel perfectly beautifully choreographed to me. And I would love to know a little bit about your process getting dressed every day. Are you getting dressed for the shot in the effort to create this like amazing piece of art? Or are you just kind of chasing a feeling? What's the impetus for you getting dressed every day? Wow, that was really deep and I like thinking about it. You know what? I'm an emotional mess these days, guys. No, I love it. I love it. I honestly feel like I'm in a bit of a transitional era. I've been pregnant for like the last three years, it feels like.
4:50And you know, your body is changing and you wear things when you're pregnant that you maybe don't even necessarily love, but it's what looks good. There's only so much that looks good when you're pregnant. And so then when you come out of that, you're like what works in my closet who am I what's my style so I'm in a bit of a bunk in that way but it's okay but I think generally I like I definitely love putting together an outfit just for the feeling like I'm not necessarily and then I'll think of like how a photo could maybe bring that outfit to life and so it's kind of like the photos the afterthought but like the definitely the clothes are the initial like driver of kind of like the reason I would even want to take a photo.
5:30So I saw on your Instagram recently that you were wearing like this gorgeous red dress and you just so happened to stumble upon a red parking lot. Is that just like the magic of Tessa or is that planned? I did stumble upon it. Yeah, that's insane. As someone who literally has a note on her phone of good walls around Los Angeles to shoot up against and has a hard time adding to that note because it's tough out here. It's really hard. It's really tough out here. It is not New York City. It is not Europe. It is not a cobblestone street. No, no, no, no, no. We are out here looking for nice walls all the time.
6:03But you somehow always find that perfect moment. Wow. I don't even know that I do, but I appreciate that. I try. In my mind, I'm always like, oh my God, is she waking up every day with this like concept in mind? And so she's dressing for the concept or it's like it's genuinely organic and you're willing to go like find it to make it perfect. Yeah, that's usually it. And honestly, it used to be way more of that. Like these days I'm like, where's the closest thing I can try and make cool. But like literally I used to spend an entire day trying to take one photo and finding the coolest spot I could find.
6:35Everything that I've done in life or like when I've had my best ideas, I'm, I'm dressed the way I actually like want to feel inside. And so that's kind of my mentality. Like if I get up and even in my house, I work at my house most of the day I'm on meetings, all these things I put on a look like a look and I put on shoes and like heels often I'm 60 tall I don't need to be taller but something about it makes me like present myself at my best and so that's I feel like it's all like a driving force for me I work better when I'm dressed well yeah also overdressing is a social construct yeah like who said that I can't wear this outfit to this dinner no and I also feel like who said you're learning more about yeah no one said anything You can do whatever you want.
7:21I love it. I think that getting dressed every day is one of the greatest opportunities for you to get to know yourself on a daily basis. Like 100 % whether you're rushing and you're anxious and you're trying to figure out the outfit or you take into the time to like thoughtfully put together something you love. It's an expression of you, how you're feeling that day. And I think it's a very underrated form of self-care. I think it's my highest form of self-care, actually. You're like therapy? No. I don't wash my face. Working out? No. I don't, no. Skincare? No. Getting dressed? Great clothes? Absolutely.
7:50Absolutely. Anytime. You always, I think, have a great accessory on. I feel like accessories are your world. Like you always have the earring, the necklace, the jewelry, the bag. Like that's where I feel like your style really sings. Talk to me a little bit about that. I think for me, well, I think back to where my style inspiration really first came from. And it was my grandma. She was 6 '1", literally just like loudest, tallest person in the room, wearing like sequins and just insanity. And she was a musician also. So loud, proud, amazing. And I was just like, wow, this is a vibe. And so as I started to get really tall, really young, I literally was trying to hide in clothes.
8:32Like I was wearing things that I thought no one would notice me and trying to blend in. It was also really hard to find clothes that would fit right, you know, because I was just so uncomfortable. And then one day I was like, you know what, I'm going to just wear what I actually want to wear and like stand out because it's just going to be so much easier than trying to blend in. And that's when I had this like epiphany, like, wow, I love fashion and I love feeling good in clothes and I don't have to hide anymore. And it's okay to like draw attention to yourself in that way. So that was really like kind of where I think I was in like junior high and my mom, like people called me a tomboy up into that point because I was just hiding.
9:11I was literally like trying to act like I didn't like clothes. But then I went to school where we had a uniform. Okay. And you couldn't do anything but accessorize. That was the whole thing. So, you know, I was wearing like the flower choker. I was wearing a double pop collar, like whatever I could do. I had the same. To find a way to like have style. The red socks. Anything. Absolutely. Anything. Anything. So I think that just kind of like stuck with me. And I, one, like I was saying, it's always hard to find clothes that fit right, whether it's like the right length of pants or the jacket's too short on the arm or whatever.
9:42So like accessories are like almost my first choice. Like what accessories do I want to wear today? And how can I build around that? Or even just like a good jacket. Like I almost view a jacket like an accessory, like a bag or whatever. So like that's kind of how I build all my looks. I actually think that's a really good way to get dressed. Like the underbelly of it can be your basics. Like, oh, it could be a white teen jeans. But if you have a great statement jacket, like you do right now and a great earring. Like that's the whole outfit. It's the whole outfit. Like everything you, you will have anything else to go with that.
10:12So I feel like that's like how I even shop. Sometimes I'm like, Oh, I actually don't own a lot of shirts. Like it's a problem. I could use a few more, but I'm just too focused on the jackets. Tell me about these earrings. They're Kate. They're beautiful. They are like not the most comfortable, but they pinch because something about the way they go on, they just kind of pinch the lobe. So they're like a few hours if you're wearing them like four four to five hours good if it's like 10 your ears are gonna ache but yeah no I don't think I love earrings so much if I don't have earrings on I'm I'm not dressed where are you getting a lot of your accessories from that you love okay I mean obviously this is one of my dear friends but I love or am I love killed it they've been killing it since day one and I still like she's like I'll send it to you I'm like no I'm gonna buy it yeah I actually do love it and I use it that often I mean I'm wearing an Orion belt.
11:04Yeah. Are we twins today? We're twins. Oh my God. Is this number five? I don't even know. I have too many good things to say about Orion. Exactly. And the quality is just really. It's there. Really good. It's there. The pricing is there. Yeah. And I think she hit a market that is so underrated, but so crucial to a good wardrobe. Yeah. And she also hit it at the perfect moment. Like she had the business up and running when belts became, in my mind, like a deep conversation and passion. Yeah. And it was the same with the earrings. I feel like, you know, there were a lot of gold jewelry brands, but they were dainty or whatever.
11:43But she's made like statement pieces, which I obviously am all about a statement piece. Yeah. But that I just think kind of changed people's, you know, and then from there we went into kind of this minimal dressing where everyone was wearing just kind of quiet luxury or whatever you want to call it. Was the accessory. But the accessory is everything. So yeah. Yeah. What other ones you like? I actually really do love Kate accessories. I think. Yeah. I mean, I mean, the OG of all the great things, all the great things. Yeah. I have so many of her earrings. I really love Isabelle Marant jewelry. It's kind of, you know, I'm always fighting my boho roots, you know, but they're still there.
12:21I think boho style is going to have a moment this year. So you can release the beast. But I have to, you know, I have to keep her tamed. I love her. I'm kidding. Tezza Coachella is iconic. It's where I thrive. Coachella Tezza is iconic. Well, thank you. It is truly like who I am at my core. Exactly. So you thrive. Yeah. Okay. Well, I can't wait to see more of it this year. Jane Birkin, Stevie Nicks. I think you asked me like your Friendsgiving if I could have dinner with anyone. You said Stevie Nicks. I think I said Stevie Nicks. Yeah. I mean, there's just something about it that speaks to my soul.
12:58So I also think just like with Chloe and like all these brands that are leaning into like the lace and the flow and the wide leg jean it's it's your time it's my time to shine I might as well let her out 2025 is the year of who knows my hair is gonna get longer just watch like it could get dark we might have to get ready guys it's coming okay her peak is here no literally I think I had a turquoise bracelet on I took it off I was like that's too much but you know but that would still okay, that to me gives Western, which I also think is like thriving this year. Yeah. Western, boho, these, these two worlds were like where my style was born and, and who I have to keep at bay.
13:36On that note, how do you balance, okay. In your closet right now, obviously you have all these incredible pieces that, that as a viewer, we're like, okay, that's so Tezza, but how do you balance the shock value of your outfits while also having things in your closet that are like classic everyday things. Yeah. I would say like, she's like, I don't actually. No, I literally promise you my style has gotten kind of bored. Like I guess I've lately I'm feeling a bit bored when I get dressed. I'm like, Ooh, I can do better. Okay. This is not a boring outfit. No, it's not boring. Is it boring to you?
14:08No. Okay, great. I think this is what it is. We're in transition. I'm getting older. It's I'm in business meetings all day. I'm presenting myself in a certain way and I want to feel a certain way, which is like sophisticated, and chic and all these things. But I still want to feel like young and cool and different. And so like sometimes those two worlds, I'm like fighting between and I feel like my closet's fighting between. It's almost like I need to, you know, I feel like you could go into your closet and all kind of just work and be so like you have that wardrobe, you know, mine is a bit messy and colorful and confusing.
14:44I think if you're someone who loves eccentric maximalist style, the idea of this like capsule wardrobe they don't marry it's true and you have to sacrifice one for the other and I love both like there are some years where I'm dressing a bit more maximalist and my closet is a bit more colorful for you and me who sometimes love a loud print and a moment you kind of have to release this idea that you're going to have this like like very kind of succinct wardrobe that all works together yeah for the sake of something fun yeah and I do think like I maybe focus on shapes. Yes. Less than like color. Cause I'm like, sometimes I really want to just wear a lot of color.
15:23Like I'm feeling that makes my outfits more fun or whatever. So I, I have an absurd amount of blazers. I actually love a blazer. I feel like it works for like my height. I'm my shoulders couldn't be broader. I don't need to emphasize them, but I am like, I I'm just kind of like, this is what makes me feel good. This is what I'm leaning into. You know, what are some things in your closet you can't live without? I mean, a black blazer is the most obvious answer, but I literally wear a black blazer with a million outfits. I feel like it's the easiest way to dress something up or just like make a pair of jeans cool.
15:54Yep. I'm a sunglass collector. I have like literally 700 pairs of sunglasses. Yep. They're not all in my closet at once. I kind of like have some up and like some storage, but I love sunglasses. Storage for sunglasses is wild. Well, I used to like have a sunglass brand. She's in retirement right now. She'll come back. But I had to focus. I had to focus on other things. Again, pause at the wall and see what sticks. Exactly. We've all been there. But so there was like a part of that just I had so many sunglasses. When I moved from New York to LA, I was like, this is actually out of control. Yeah.
16:26I'm changing my sunglasses like three times a day with the look. Yeah, I love sunglasses. I actually just feel like, I don't know. They just they finish a look. What sunnies do you love? okay right now I'm really into I have a lot of Gucci sunglasses okay fun I just think they make so many different fun shapes and that's probably the most brand that I have okay but if not that is like like YSL sunnies I love love yeah just I don't know I have so many they have good ones yeah what I love the most right now also pro tip for YSL sunnies sax office always has them on sale Oh, amazing. Okay. I need to go.
17:09I need to. I like love a colorful pair of sunnies too. Yeah. Like not just a black. You rock them. I'll wear red. I'll wear blue. I'll wear whatever. Height makes the world of a difference with what you're wearing. And for me, sometimes if I'm wearing like a colored sunny, it's almost like it overwhelms my frame. I feel like because you're taller, you can like, you almost have like, so weird. You have more room to like play with, like more room for like the colors to match and like be together. For me, sometimes I feel like it just swallows me. Well, it's even how I think about bags. Like sometimes this bag is insignificant on me.
17:37Like you can't find it. It's where is she? It's not there. She doesn't exist. She is. I am six foot. Yeah. Here's this tiny bag. People are posting like oversized totes. I hold it. Looks like a little small bag. That's great for you, though. I mean, I'm glad like bigger bags came in style because I was like the micro bag thing we hated. Yeah. A lipstick and a credit card is not what I need to get me through my day. It's not enough. No, no. Like if you can't put your phone in it, I'm out. It's not working. Yeah. I think there's nothing more socially distracting than being in a place and holding your phone.
18:06You're right. I want it in my bag. I'll put it on loud just so I can hear just in case. But it literally takes you out of the moment. No, this is so true. That's so like chic. I love that. I'm stealing that info. Please take it. Run. Go. Love. But back to wardrobe. The other thing I literally am obsessed with, can't live without, it's like I would say it's 50 % of my wardrobe is denim. But yeah, I'm also in a denim. I don't even know. What do I like right now? I don't really like any. A good pair of jeans can change your whole life. Because where are we at? Where are we going? Like straight leg?
18:33What are you liking? Okay. I think jeans are seasonal, obviously. Like I had a pair of jeans last year that I got in the spring that changed the way I got dressed every single day. They were a little bit more of a lighter wash, not like kind of like a true blue, but they were the Anina Bang Gavin jeans and they cropped at my ankle and they were great for like a spring to summer moment. I was wearing them with everything. In the winter though, I want a darker wash always, like with everything. I am a like mid-rise straight jean girl to death. Okay. I'm not a bell-bottom, even a high-rise now. I'm like, I'd like to eat a meal and not feel like I'm dying.
19:10Like you can sit and be comfortable. I want to sit and drive and not feel like I'm dying. And I'll do a low-rise sometimes. It's not my like favorite because I think for my body shape, it like makes me lose a lot of shape at my waist. I have to be wearing something really tight on top. So I at least get like a line shape. Right. But for you, oh my God, I'd be wearing like every jean style on planet earth. I wear a lot of different kinds I think I'm kind of like well one I always think I like a style but then I realized oh it's just cutting me off in such a bad spot so it's really hard to find that like perfect jean for me but that's kind of why I liked the low rise because they would but then I'm like I'm just there's so much other space yeah yeah so what's your tried and true right now what are you wearing all the time well I just um got a pair of totem denim and they're like they have a really cool seam.
19:59Love. It's kind of a unique shape. They're like straight leg, not like skinny. Yeah. But they have just like a really unique seam and they are like a little bit of a barrel, like a small barrel. Yes. But it's like it's not the, you know, I love that on you. Yeah. Like I feel like a barrel for your height is so nice. I'm loving jeans with seams. Yeah. It's fun. It's fun. I want a little something different. It feels edgier. Yeah. Because I feel like you wear denim so much. Yeah. Obviously, it can be chic. It can be casual. It can be all the things. But now that there's, I feel like we're coming out with so many different shapes.
20:30So it's kind of fun. Love that. Yeah. Okay. Same thing on closet essentials, but what about for your kids? Where are you buying kids clothes? What's exciting you? I mean, Coco is her own style. Icon. Icon. She gets herself dressed. She doesn't really let me. If I am trying to get her dress, I pick out something I know she's not going to wear because she'll never say yes to anything. But granted, she kind of has good taste. I'm impressed, but she loves a dress. She's obsessed with dresses. Okay. And boots. Like that's all she wears. Okay. Unfortunately, Zara does make great kids clothes. Kids clothes like they just do.
21:05But I also really love this brand called Fostered. Cute. It's Australian, amazing denim, like denim jackets, denim jeans, and like a little bit oversized. So kids grow the speed of light and you buy something and then doesn't fit them in like literally two weeks. So the oversized look is really nice because then it fits for literally a year. That's smart. And these clothes are like the quality is immaculate. It's amazing. My sister always said to me, she was like the amount of onesies I'm going through is criminal. Criminal. I just, luckily I'm now having friends that are pregnant. I just pass them down because they wear them for, I mean, my son is six months and he's wearing 12 to 18 months.
21:45He's huge. And I wonder where he got that hype from. Yeah. I mean, it's in the family, but it's just always a shock. Yeah. You're like, it's just a shock for me. I can't get over it. But yeah. Cute. I can't wait to like pass clothes down to Coco. I think she's gonna she's literally already like dibs in bags. She knows what's up. Did your style change a lot when you had kids? Yes. Yeah. I think it was like also moving from New York to California was it was all within the same kind of moment. And like, you know how we were talking earlier about just getting dressed every day, like overdressing every day.
22:21Oh, yeah. Yeah. Like, I think I still do that here, but not to the extent that I did it in New York City. I miss it. But and then I live in like, you know, beach town vibes. So I'm always looking very extra over there, but I still enjoy it. But being a mom, it's also like you have to think about what you're willing to sacrifice. can this get spit up all over it no so i will not wear this to this moment you have to kind of consider those things but like you don't want to change your style like i think it's still some people think oh you're a mom like let's not wear like nice things or do whatever but i feel like if you love fashion don't stop doing it like your kids recognize it they like it it's like it is inspiring even to just like your own little family like even i'll come out and Coco will be like, you look so pretty.
23:08I love this outfit, mom. I'm like, okay, bye. Like I will get dressed up for you. Yes. It's sweet. But my mom was the same. My mom was so chic, so together. It was definitely more in hindsight. I wasn't even thinking she was like a style. I kind of, I always thought she looked great though. But she would always tease me and my brother. She'd be like, you guys like costumes. You guys like wearing costumes. We were like, I think that was a diss, but it's okay. You're like, thanks. You know, she was just so much more chic-er and still is than I will ever be. But it's okay. Like, we're just different in that way.
23:42But I respect her and I wish I was as chic as she is. I mean, you got to learn it from somewhere. It's true. I wonder how moments of your personal style or aesthetics that you're after have influenced Tezza Filters. For sure. A lot. Definitely. like I'm always inspired by eras and, and, you know, fashion and I'm sifting, sifting through old magazines and trying to find like ways people used to edit or how certain film used to look or all of these things. And so I think sometimes, yeah, it's not even just about the colors in a photo. It's like what people are wearing and all of that as well. So that's definitely something I'm always thinking about.
24:25Are you sponsored by Canon yet? Because you are the G7X queen. I honestly should get a check or at least a free camera, but nothing has happened. Canon, I am waiting. Please. It's insane. At least a residual for that. Something. Something. Something. Yeah. Inspired a generation. It's now sold out. Like you used to be able to get it for$400. I know. When I, I remember texting you once being like, okay, talk to me, talk to me about this camera. Like, what am I doing? And I looked at it and I was like, I don't want that. And then I almost bought it this year. I ended up getting a Sony instead, but it was like 14, the Canon was like$1 ,400.
24:57I was like. It's absurd. it's a$400 camera. Like it should not be that. But there is something about that flash and the lighting. It's really good. I'm obviously like a DSLR. I'm a photographer. I mean, I go back to my roots. I love all types of cameras, but there's something about that camera that's so easy and makes you look better than you do. I swear. I think that's why people like it. Yep. Noted. What's an aesthetic for 2025 that you're excited about? I am feeling like color is kind of having a comeback a little bit. I think we kind of went into this very neutral phase the last few years.
25:33You and I say as we're both as we're both in neutral. Neutral. But like even just like little pops like now like I feel like in bags color like we're just seeing more color and I think that's fun like I love even though brown what is the color of the year like brown. Oh yeah it was like a moussey brown. Yeah so I guess we're really not steering. It's literally the hair color of your yeah yeah no but I do feel like you know there's a little bit of color I also am really into well like we were talking about western I don't know that that's is that even trending I feel like I'm just really liking it but it is trending or are we over it I don't know here's my take on western yeah I think 2024 it was really big for a lot of reasons yeah I think fashion is an expression of how we're experiencing the world what's going on in pop culture what's going on in politics.
26:22Beyonce had cowboy Carter. And then we were also in an election year. Yeah. So I think this idea of like Americana Western style clothing just like seeps into our subconscious in that way. Right. When there's so much of it going on in the world, like it's hard to not take that into account in how we're getting dressed every day. Yeah. Also, like suddenly out of nowhere, I love denim on denim. Who knew? Oh, I've been wearing like denim and a suede belt. And like if someone told me like, oh, you look Western today, I'd be like, huh? No, because I don't even like that's what I'm saying. I think that's what I mean by it's like bleeding into.
26:54Yes, it bleeds in like regular fashion or like shapes, but it's not like that's a Western jacket or like even a cowboy boot is just like a pointy toe or whatever it is like a little bit of fringe, but it doesn't even feel Western. You know what I mean? Yes. I say more Americana because when I think of Americana, I think Ralph Lauren, I think of skinny jeans and a knee high boot, which skinny jeans are suddenly in a conversation. Guys, stop coming for me for not liking skinny jeans, please. I guarantee you're going to be wearing by the end of the year. With a boot. Only with a knee high boot. I see.
27:24I'm seeing a vision. With what? With a heel? Oh, yeah. You're going to be like a big square. I don't know. I'm scared. Anyways. But yeah, I think more of like Americana, like Ralph Lauren inspired. I'm with you. It's not Western. It's Americana. Okay. What's on your fashion bucket list for the year? What are you eyeing? I'm actually looking for you to tell me. No, that's kind of I'm just kind of in a in a fashion pause. I'm just like, okay, I'm not feeling my best because I'm still coming out of like postpartum. Okay. Body. I'm just like, so I'm like not really shopping at the moment because I'm like, I don't feel cute enough to get that yet.
27:59So I'm waiting. So I'm looking, I'm observing, but I'm like, what's fun. Where are we going? What are you excited about? Where are we going? I don't know. Where are we going? It's that's a real question in LA is where are we going to like make that? I was literally had sacks the other day and they're the only place that has an entire Chanel shoe department. Right. And I sat on the couch and was like, I feel alive. I feel alive. Like this is epic. But yeah, LA is really scarce in that sense. I don't know. I feel like I'm being honest about like the things that excite me most when I get something new.
28:34It's like everyone loves a new bag. No, I'm I'm a bag. A new bag is like can hold me for like six months. truly you know because it also brings it's like the finishing it's like sunglasses yes yes and it's something that like it's complete i'm wearing it every day yeah like it's not just like a great new pair of jeans that like maybe i won't wear every day at the back it's like i'm wearing every day every day i've yet to see the bag that i feel like is making me gasp for the year yet yeah i do feel like that loewe squeeze is going to be something that we're like looking at for a long time and it's something that everyone's going to consider buying at one point yeah you know the one with the I know the one I almost bought it yeah what'd you feel I just couldn't tell like I couldn't tell if it was right for me I think that shape like I think of the squeeze I think of the Bottega hop they're both over the shoulder bags and it's that for me right now it's not a micro it's I want that I am with you on that I need to go look at it again because I actually really liked that bag you know when you like something and then you're with someone and they talk down on it and you're like oh maybe I don't like it but now you're having me rethink it that's why I went writing dress shopping alone.
29:40Yeah, it's true. Bye. Just tell them after you've done it. I'll keep you posted on the fashion bucket list. Yeah, I know. I'm so boring with that. I honestly, I think I'm just in a funk. I'm just like, I'm waiting to be inspired for what I really want right now. It's the top of the year. I think it's okay to be in this place where we're seeking inspiration. We'll get there.
