Hey Better Babes, welcome back to Getting Better. Today, we're going to talk about something that's very

powerful, but also fun and a little bit different, dopamine dressing. Our fashion is so much

more than how we look. It's how we feel. It's how we're perceived. But there's gender, there's

finances, there is location, and all of that factors into how we fashion. How can we feel better about our fashion?

Well, honey, there's a very interesting, amazing expert that's here to talk to us about it today.

The editor-in-chief of Marie Claire, none other than Nikki Ogunaki.

Let's get to our conversation.

Let's dive into dopamine dressing.

Nikki, welcome to getting better. How are you? I'm great. Thank you for having me. I'm so excited that you're here. I was giving you my best dopamine dressing today. I'm obsessed. I'm giving you LaPont. Oh, Sally. I love Sally so much. She's the best. Yeah. And she gives me so much dopamine with her use of textures. And I was like, give it to me.

You know, we're in the middle of like what I do think is quickly becoming maybe...

The longest winter ever.

Yes.

And so I was like, I think never better time for us to talk about like finding our best style, dopamine dressing, and really like finding more joy through expressing ourselves with our fashion. Yeah. So we're here to learn about today. So thanks for helping us. Thank you. Yes. So when you think about finding your style, what does that feel like for you? Finding my style, and I think like finding anyone's style, the number one tip that I like to give is that it takes time.

Like I think a lot of people want to go to a store, or they want to see a mannequin, or they're scrolling online.

And they're like, I must have that style, like copy and paste that style. Right. But that's not really what it's about. I really think it's about having like a lived experience, you know,

going out, going to museums, going to restaurants, like deciding, you know, what you're going to do for work,

and then figuring out how your style can fit into that.

Yes. Like, I've been in this moment because of my business manager. And she wants me to, like,

make better intentional decisions around, like, impulse buying. So I've really been trying to be

that person. And, like, literally this week, I had this, like, row two piece. So I've really been trying to be that person. And like literally this week, I had this like row two piece. And I never thought that I should wear them separately. Oh. I don't know why I did that. But the copy paste comment made me think about that. So I paired this sweater with these jeans. And it was so cute. Yeah. And I was like, why didn't I do that sooner? That's the thing, though. I think that people often think that, like, you have to wear the one outfit the one way. But really, if you can get into your closet, if you can set time aside, like, everyone does, everyone tries to put together like a new look or a new outfit, like five minutes before they have to leave the door.
