#198: Shopping Strategically with Numba Pinkerton
You probably think that working with a stylist, particularly once you’ve had your colours analysed, would involve them then trying to convince you to buy, or in our case make, a load of new clothes. That’s what I’ve always assumed. But over the summer I got to catch up with previous guest, stylist Numba Pinkerton, in real life in her home in Scotland. Our conversation proved that my assumption, at least as far as she’s concerned, is wrong. We start our conversation back where we left off previously, talking about colour analysis. Numba offers something of a cheat sheet for working with your colours, including how and when to ignore them. We then move on to talking about shopping strategically, and all her advice translates so well to sewing strategically; it’s super useful stuff. Her ultimate message: it’s ok to pass! Support the podcast over on Patreon! Find out more about Numba’s work at her website, and you can follow her on Instagram (@stylemeflawless).  Learn more about Numba’s community, The Style Circle.  Hear Numba’s previous previous appearance on CYT: Ep. #188: Stop Wearing Black!
