0:00.0	Welcome to the Simple Sophisticate Podcast, where intelligent living is paired with signature style.
0:16.3	I'm your host, Shannon Ables.
0:18.8	And whether you're listening on your commute, exercising, working in the garden, or sitting down with a hot cup of tea or a
0:25.0	cafe ole. Thank you for tuning in. Let's get started. Welcome. Welcome to the 70th episode of the simple Sophisticate. I am so happy you're able to
0:50.3	join me today. We are kicking off an episode that I haven't done before.
0:56.1	What I mean I haven't done before is it's not going to be a list. I know, shocker.

2:06.2	Petit pleasure is.
2:08.4	And it has to do with clothing.
2:10.1	I was going to do a handful of other simple pleasures today, but you will actually get many
2:15.8	simple pleasures out of today's episode, and I'm just going to sprinkle them throughout.
2:19.5	But I wanted to share with you something completely different from today's topic at hand, lighten it up maybe
2:24.8	a bit and perhaps you're in the need for this type of clothing. I know I was and I was ecstatic when it arrived and I've been wearing it
