Today I'm sharing a fantastic conversation with the lovely Kay Korsh - all about getting confident with your style.

If you've ever wondered 'what on Earth do I wear?!' this is the episode for you.

We talk about how to create your style so you not only feel comfortable, make a great impression but also to get your message across , and Kay shares so many tips along the way.

Here's more about Kay:
