Episode Description from the Publisher

The desire for acceptance and belonging is deeply human. And fashion is one way that we signal who we are and what group we belong to. So it's not weird to freak out a little bit if you find yourself at an event wearing something that feels way different from everyone else.  In this episode, Kristen describes a recent occasion when she had exactly that experience. Even at 57 and with a lifetime of getting dressed behind her, she still freaked out a little! Jennine offers some perspective and tips on how to get dressed so that it's less likely to happen, and when it does, how to remain calm. We discuss:  What Planet of the Apes can teach us about the need to feel accepted  How to get dressed based on how you want to feel  Internal versus external locus of control How to avoid the vortex of changing 25 times before you leave the house How trying to "dress for the occasion" can backfire And lots more! We hope you enjoy this episode, and please leave us a review if you do!
