Ciao from Italy! In episode 25 we’re coming to you from Sicily with a very special guest: Tess, who joined us (along with Kate’s dad!) for this part of our adventure. Luckily, our beautiful hotel room has air conditioning because it’s over 100 degrees here. Joey can’t stop sweating, Kate loses her Kindle and immediately is worried about what someone might discover on it, and Tess realizes she’s been dressing for her inner child all along. Kate and Tess use the pod for some sister talk, from their new dark and spicy book obsession to the question: Tess once thought she wanted the kind of relationship Joey and Kate have… until she thought about it a little more.
We also debate an important fashion question: can you wear a band tee for a band you don’t actually know?
Tell us what you think! And we want to know: what’s something you’ve carried from your childhood into your adult style? Leave a comment!
Got a question? A hot take? A ramble you need to release into the world? Call us.📞 1-844-RUG-CHAT
🙌 Follow along wherever you get your podcasts and leave us a five-star review.
