In today's episode, I am welcoming Stevie Greeks - Stevie is an old friend of mine who I met when working in retail. She is now the Communications and Marketing Manager of BATS theater, Kia Mau Festival and Ngā Hua Toi in Wellington, she also freelances as a writer and theater practitioner.

Stevie has a strong appeal for second hand and Vintage clothing from a young age, before this became a trend.

In this talk, we’ll discuss how it is to create your own style while growing up with limited incomes. How do we accept feedback and judgements about our fashion choices from people that count for us and how our career impacts our way to build our wardrobe.

I loved chatting with Stevie and I hope you will enjoy this talk as well.
