OH MY DAYES: What are we wearing?

A digital fashion revolution is coming. Are you ready for it? Join me in the final episode of OH MY DAYES: What are we wearing? to explore Metaverse and all the glorious fashion opportunities it brings. Find out how digital technologies such as AR, live streaming and NFT’s are not only changing our everyday lives but also the way we shop and consume fashion. This episode really got me thinking about whether its time for me to create my avatar and start building her digital wardrobe! Looking for a place to dip a toe into the world of digital fashion? I’ve got you:https://dressx.com/ For our final Fashion Flashback I’m fast forwarding into the world of fashion NFT’s and most specifically looking at Jay Alexander’s Crypto Couture collection. Feel free to reach out to me on socials with any questions or comments you may have:@AnnalieseDayeswww.annaliesedayes.com

Following on from the previous episode of OH MY DAYES: What are we wearing? I had to dive deeper into world of fashion psychology to get more answers about how we can take control of our fashion choices so that we communicate effectively with the outside world. Only way to do this was to sit down with Shakaila Forbes Bell, Fashion Psychologist and author of Big Dress Energy. It’s the only interview of this series and its a good one. Shakaila takes us through her tips for having more confidence in the way you dress, her 4321 shopping theory and lots more. To find out more about Shakaila and the awesome works she does, you can check out her blog here:https://fashionispsychology.com/ And don’t forget to give her a follow: @Shakailaelise She also mentioned @thefoldinglady for clothing organisational tips. 

Fashion and the way it can help to build confidence in an individual is one of the main reason why I love fashion so much. So of course I had to dedicate an entire episode of OH MY DAYES: What are we wearing? to this, so I can share my reasoning. As you may know I like to encourage women to have fun with fashion and I think that starts with knowing your personal style. I run thorough the style personalities and show you how to harness your preference by utilising principles from fashion psychology. This episode is all about communicating through your outfits so you can look and feel like your most confident self. Dawn Karen: Dress Your Best Life: https://amzn.eu/d/i2NXWjMShakaila Forbes Bell: Big Dress Energy: https://amzn.eu/d/dNGKvSGThis week’s FASHION FLASHBACK is about the history of a confidence building piece, which has been known to lift the spirit of women of all shapes and sizes and that’s the wrap dress. 

At first glance this episode may seem likes it not related to fashion, but since we’re getting to know each other better now, you’ll know that of course I’ll find a way squeeze it in! In this episode of OH MY DAYES: What are we wearing? I take you on the journey of how I got where I am now as a presenter, specialising in fashion. I talk about the route I took, the mountains I climbed, how I leveraged opportunities and some of the harsh lessons I learned. Being that hype girl, that wants to see you win, I of course share with you the steps I follow if I was just starting out in the world of presenting. Please do keep in mind that my journey is far from over, I’m sure I’ll have plenty more mountain’s to climb, especially if I want to fill my pockets with positive presenting experiences. However I’ll probably need a pair of mens jeans to get the most out of my pockets. I know this makes no sense to you now, but this week’s Fashion Flashback will give you an insight into the history of pockets. 

We as a society are consuming more than ever before; with the fashion industry being one of the major contributors. Let’s find out some of the hardcore disturbing facts and work out how we can do our bit to reduce our impact, while still looking and feeling good. In this episode of OH MY DAYES: What are we wearing? I talk about shopping more mindfully and how to “Marie Kondo” you’re wardrobe so you can actually find items in your wardrobe and stop being that woman who has a closet stuffed to the brim with clothes, but still says, I have nothing to wear! Here’s the link so some sustainable shopping options:RENTING:https://www.loanhood.com/ https://www.mywardrobehq.com/https://byrotation.com/SWAPPING: https://www.theswapshopuk.com/https://www.instagram.com/verte.london/PRELOVED & VINTAGE:https://www.studdedpetals.com/https://campsite.bio/shopkiloDenim jeans are one of the most resource intensive pieces of clothing but I personally found the history fascinating and that’s what we’re looking at for our Fashion Flashback. 

I get lots of questions about modelling on social media; with the top one being how do I get an agent? So I thought in this episode of OH MY DAYES: What are we wearing? I’d break it down and give you all the steps I would follow if I was trying to break into the modelling industry today. I share practical advice on what sort of photos to take and how to summit to agencies, while giving you a heads up on what to expect at photoshoots and castings. If you’ve ever wanted to try your hand at modelling, I believe that you’ll definitely find some valuable nuggets of info here. I mention various online portals that you can upload a profile to so you can submit yourself for modelling and other entertainment jobs. Here they are:https://www.starnow.com/https://www.mandy.com/uk https://www.castingnetworks.com/ This weeks Fashion Flashback is about the humble beginning of the mini skirt. Yup, get those pins out!

I assume you’re heard of the ancient Chinese traditional practice, Feng shui, but have you heard of fashion feng shui? Well you can get to know all about it in this episode of OH MY DAYES: What Are We Wearing? The flow of energies, nourishing your birth element and how that can help balance out your wardrobe, outfits and fashion choices. Fashion is just so much more than clothing and I think this episode in particular will show you how the way you choose to dress can affect your mood, attitude and overall confidence. Some of the information in this episode comes from this website.
