I'm Sari and I'm Haley and this is Seamwork Radio.

Welcome back to Seamwork Radio where we share practical ideas for building a creative process so you can sew with intention and joy.

And today we're talking about wardrobe outcasts, those clothes that you just don't wear.

We'll cover five tips for bringing these clothes back into your daily outfits.

All right, let's start with our icebreaker.

Today's icebreaker came from Sarah.

My question is, this is quoting from Sarah, is there a garment that you were gifted,

randomly tried on, or otherwise acquired that changed your sense of your personal style,

or helped you realize something you loved in clothing that you weren't aware of before?

Wow.

This is a great question.

I love this question.

It is a good question.

What it makes me think of is the fact that I started thrifting when I was a teenager,

and I think that it helped me to experiment with a lot of different kinds of styles really early on because,

and a lot of things that were not necessarily like in the ready to wear like options at the time.

So I got to try on a lot of different silhouettes and styles.

And it really helped me to realize those things from an early age.

The what I can think of more recently and by by recently, I mean, like, in the last 10 to 15 years was the first time I tried on a pair of more high-rise jeans when I was a teenager, low-rise was like the thing and I was traumatized by low-rise jeans. And for a long time, I didn't wear that

many jeans at all. And then when I like tried on my first pair of high-rise pants, I think that

my brain chemistry changed. And it really did like change my personal style too and the kinds of

things I felt more comfortable in. Prior to that, I think I wore a lot more dresses than I do now
