Can't express how needed it was to have a podcast by intelligent and humorous women who truly love fashion. I'm not a podcast person but Kay is brilliant - love her series on net-a-porter, could listen to her talk about fashion for days! xx Please do moreeee!!!!

I find it interesting that despite all the shows and trend every year the clothes i keep to come back to like this stylish lady Jo , nice pair of jeans , sipmle black or white tee or cashmere jumper, nice accessories like great flats and a statement belt and voilà . Does not feel like we've been trying too much and always look just fine

Love this, like having a good conversation with female friends ❤. Also glad Jo mentioned that it's embarrassing walking around with lots of shopping bags, that designer gear money needs to go on the mortgage... & I'm with Jo's daughter, don't ever want labels especially not showing x

I love skirts. Especially pencil skirts

Very enjoyable but would love to have seen everyone’s outfit in its entirety just once- including shoes !

Gosh I felt like I was Jo in another body this was more that freakish. Need to sit down with a spiritual fairy godmother and ask if we were separated at birth!
Apart from that thank you ladies it took me back to a time that I miss dearly. Also thank you for also being on board with no purple ever . Now that’s enough sucky behaviour from me 😂 Nano nano

This was such a frank chat…thank you. Jo hit the nail on the head that there is a strange shame associated with enjoying fashion. I I have always enjoyed dressing well but I recall in my 30s working in a corporate world overhear pale stayed gentlemen saying I was doing so to find a husband which was so far from the truth
Now in my early 50s, I don’t care and callous comments such as these just make me want to update the Aunty and Dress even better
