💬 Workshop Snapshot

This workshop is a real-life look at slow fashion through a lived-in lens — blending storytelling, secondhand hacks, and practical ideas that leave people feeling inspired, not overwhelmed. Participants will walk away with a fresh take on how to live (and dress) with more intention.

🧵 Workshop Flow

The topics below represent possible discussion points. The final session will be tailored to the confirmed duration — not all topics will be included in shorter workshops.

🫶 1. Welcome & Introductions
Setting the tone with a personal story and intro to secondhand living.

✨ 2. Slow Fashion as a Way of Life
Op-shopping isn’t just a hobby — it’s how I live, shop, decorate, and teach my daughter values around sustainability and patience. I’ll share how I shop with intention, how I train my secondhand intuition, and how I build a mental thrift list.

👶 3. Kids’ Slow Fashion (The Forgotten Wardrobe)
An often-overlooked slice of the sustainability conversation — and one I have so much to say about! Dressing fast-growing kids secondhand is not only possible, it's powerful. From clothing swaps and clever hand-me-down systems to tapping into hidden secondhand networks, I’ve learned the secrets — especially since relocating from fashion-forward Melbourne to the (beautifully isolated) bottom of the world. This session offers real-life hacks, local insight, and a refreshing reminder that you can dress your kids sustainably without spending a fortune or losing your mind.

🌴 4. Op-Shopping as a Lifestyle
We plan family weekends around op shops, markets and thrifting — complete with public pools saunas and waterslides, forest walks, and op shops I’ve mapped out to adapt to our holiday or weekend away.

🧥 5. From Melbourne Chic to Dunedin Realness
My wardrobe evolution and how I now dress for what’s available, not what’s trending.

😎 6. How Op Shops Shaped a Generation (and a look – The Hipster)
A cheeky deep dive into how secondhand style quietly shaped an entire aesthetic movement. From irony-laced cardigans to boots with stories in the soles — we’ll unpack how op shops helped birth the modern hipster, and what that says about culture, rebellion, and reclaiming identity through clothes.

Because hipsters aren’t wearing those boots because they want to — they found them. And finding them meant something. It meant digging. It meant effort. It meant rejecting fast fashion in favour of something with soul (and maybe a scuffed heel).

Spoiler: yes, the boots were thrifted — but the statement was intentional.

🧷 7. DIY Fixes (Without a Sewing Machine Meltdown)
Hemming tape, safety pins, elastic hacks — no-fuss repairs for real people.
Anna’s not a gentle sewer… she’s a violent fixer with a mission. No sewing machine? No problem. From hemming with tape to strategic safety pin wizardry, she’ll show you how to keep clothes going using whatever’s in your drawer and pure mum-level determination.

This session includes creative hacks, real-life examples, photos, and live demos — plus suggestions on how to find affordable local menders for when DIY just isn’t your thing.

🗑️ 8. Let’s Talk Landfill
Fashion waste facts, small changes that matter, and why secondhand can make a big difference.

🌀 9. The Orbit – Storytelling & Slow Living Philosophy
My signature mini-lecture meets slow living sermon — how our life orbits around secondhand simplicity.

🎤 Why Me?

I’ve lived slow fashion for decades.

👟 I only ever own two pairs of shoes — and I wear them, love them, and mend them until they fall apart.

👗 My wardrobe isn’t curated by trends — it’s built on rotation, repair, and instinct. I’m not a fashionista. I shop with intention, not impulse.

🛍️ To me, op shops are living, breathing things — full of stories, energy, and quiet treasures. And like all living things, they deserve to be understood. I can teach others how to understand the op shops in their city, so they can use them in a new way.

For me, secondhand isn’t just shopping — it’s a spiritual practice, a creative lifestyle, and a deeply ingrained habit I’ve honed over decades. I don’t just op shop — I read them. I study what’s where, how to use them strategically, how to rotate clothing in small spaces, and how to find (or fix) what I need without buying new.

In this workshop, I’ll share not just tips — but a whole new way of seeing op shopping. A way that’s beautifully creative, surprisingly practical, and deeply effective. One most people haven’t considered before.

I’m also a pro at creating warm, engaging community events. As a wedding photographer for 10+ years, I’ve wrangled huge crowds, directed timelines, and delivered under pressure. I reach 40,000+ people online every week and bring that same spark to in-person workshops.

💻 Tech & Setup
