This week, Gillian and Jenny respond to a listener question and discuss finding one's style in fashion, with Jenny sharing her struggles and Gillian suggesting observing others and trying out different styles. They also talk about the challenges of finding appropriate and comfortable clothing for formal events, the evolution of fashion, and the importance of self-expression and comfort in fashion choices.

They discuss the challenges of finding appropriate and comfortable clothing for formal events. Jenny shares her struggles with finding outfits that flattered her figure and her reliance on friends and sales associates for fashion advice. They agree that confidence and comfort in one's own skin are key to dressing well. Jenny also recounted her positive experience shopping at Evans, a store catering to larger sizes, and how friends' opinions helped her choose outfits. The conversation concluded with a light-hearted exchange about fashion faux pas.

They discuss their fashion experiences, particularly during the early stages of their transitions. Jenny shared her memories of wearing a short skirt and high heels to a Christmas party, which she felt was over the top. They both agree that fashion choices can vary greatly depending on the context and personal style. They also touch on the importance of self-expression and comfort in fashion choices, with Gillian expressing admiration for younger individuals who confidently wear bold outfits.

They also discuss the appropriateness of dressing for one's age, with Gillian suggesting that people should dress according to the context rather than their age, and the importance of considering the motives of people who might tell you it's age-inappropriate.
