About this episode

Annaliese Todd discusses budget-friendly wardrobe building and personal style reinvention with host Leigh.

If you’ve ever looked at a wacky fashion trend online and thought, “Who on earth is actually wearing that in real life?” meet Annaliese Todd. As Mamamia’s resident lifestyle journalist, Annaliese is the brave soul who takes the internet’s most polarising style trends and tests them out in the office. (Yes, including wearing actual soccer boots and one-legged jeans to work). This week, Leigh is sitting down with the self-proclaimed "Cozzie Livs Queen" to chat about how to shop on a budget without sacrificing style, how navigating a divorce completely reinvented her wardrobe, and why she's entirely unfazed by Gen Z TikTok trolls. Plus, the duo are breaking down a genius End of Financial Year tax hack and Leigh attempts some fashion exposure therapy to help Annaliese overcome her ultimate style fear: the winter scarf.
