Another Little Treat: The Tyranny Of Looking Like You Haven't Tried

Happy Monday, Outlouders — we’ve got a juicy little treat for you. Usually reserved for subscribers, we’re dropping this one into your feed because… well, you deserve it.

As the seasons change, so apparently must our entire wardrobes. Again. It’s a lot.

In this episode, Mia and Jessie are joined by the glorious Amelia Lester to unpack the pressure to be 'effortlessness'.

We’re talking:

  • The ‘I Woke Up Like This’ lie. Nope, your hair did not do that on its own.

  • Why pretending not to try is somehow the most work of all

  • How the effortless aesthetic has crept into fashion, parenting, relationships, work… you name it, it's got to be without a hint of trying.

It’s a full-time job to look like you’re not working at anything. And we’re officially over it.
