A Fresh Take on What To Wear For Big Life Events: Weddings, Graduations & Work
About this episode
Lisa Gillbe provides a fresh perspective on dressing for significant life events, emphasizing confidence and personal style over traditional norms.
Episode notes: Weddings. Work presentations. Graduations. The big dinner you've been dreading dressing for since the invite landed. These are the moments when what you wear actually matters — and where most of us default to the same safe, forgettable choice out of pure fear of getting it wrong. In this episode, Lisa throws out the old playbook. No more starting with "what's appropriate." Instead, she shows you how to start with the feeling you want to walk in with — confident, powerful, unmistakably you — and build the outfit from there. Expect real, practical gold: how to choose colours that actually photograph and film well (because everything's on camera now), how to dress for the room without losing your personality in the process, and why the right unexpected shoe or accessory can turn a "fine" outfit into one people remember. Lisa breaks it down event by event — wedding-guest dressing that doesn't default to boring, workwear that reads as polished and powerful, graduation outfits that are relaxed but still feel like an occasion, and how to properly dress up for a high-end dinner without it feeling like a costume. If you've ever stood in front of your wardrobe panicking…
