Summary

Do you really need to follow fashion when you've just had a baby? What's the best way to work on self-esteem? Is it still OK to wear skinny jeans? And why is Ellie in trouble with her Dad even though she's 46? Helping us to answer all these questions is stylist extraordinaire Sophia Lorimer!

Known on the socials as @finedtunedwardrobe, Sophia is a fashionista with a difference. She's all about shopping your wardrobe and sustainability - in fact, she hasn't bought anything new from a shop in five years. We talk about that, along with how Sophia's attitude to clothes was shaped by growing up as one of eight sisters. She tells us about her experience of having post-natal depression, how she managed to get through it, and why it changed how she sees fashion forever.

We discuss comfort versus style, and Sophia gives us some practical tips for feeling better about our bodies and breaking an addiction to fast fashion. She reveals why she's not a big fan of Vinted, and shares her own biggest fashion disaster.

Do check out the services Sophia offers and her fabulous fashion sense @finetunedwardrobe. And have a look at our main Instagram feed for a video of Sophia judging our ghosts of fashion past...
