‘We all have to wear something, because otherwise we’d be arrested…’ - Daphne Guinness
This week Ruby and Lara debate what makes an outfit ‘appropriate.’ Whether that fickle and flimsy term be applied to occasion-specific dress codes, age groups, or workplaces, the two have no shortage of opinions on how to challenge the patriarchal status quo of appropriateness—most of which require being either vastly over- or under-dressed.

It's a truth universally acknowledged that a young woman in possession of a good wardrobe MUST be in want of a man. Lol. Well, it may seem strange that both Ruby and Lara are happily in relationships, given the exceptionally off-brand outfits they wore whilst courting their significant others.
This week, they discuss how romantic relationships have influenced their style--from workplace meet-cutes and first dates to moving in together and walking down the aisle--and how to align this notion with their own brands of feminism.

Get it? A dress? Ruby and Lara definitely have ‘feminine’ style--they're just not quite sure what that means yet. In this episode, they discuss how fashion is changing with conceptions of gender, reminisce on pre-teen style mishaps, and debate if Prada is the secret sauce to becoming an imperfectly perfect woman.
