First 90 secondsKay Barron· Host0:00
Welcome to An Excellent Fit, a podcast on style, culture, and the stories we tell through what we wear, because getting dressed is never just about the clothes. I'm Kay Barron.
Alice Casely-Hayford· Host0:10
And I'm Alice Paisley-Hayford. I'm very excited, 'cause today we're joined by La Roux, and I was totally obsessed with her in my youth, and her music has been the soundtrack, actually, to many different chapters of my life. So I'm so excited to get stuck in. What are you wearing to meet La Roux?
Kay Barron· Host0:25
I am very excited to meet La Roux, because also, her, um, Bulletproof was basically a soundtrack to every breakup. [laughs] Um, where I was like, "No, I'll be stronger after this one."

Alice Casely-Hayford· Host0:44

Kay Barron· Host1:06
Thank you. And also, 'cause I wear the jeans more than the shirt- Mm-hmm ... and I do wash my jeans- Mm-hmm ... as we have discussed, I have to wash until they end up being the same color.
Alice Casely-Hayford· Host1:14
Well, quite. They're thankfully still aligned.
Kay Barron· Host1:17
Thank you. I, I love it, and 'cause I like the little Western detail in it as well.
Alice Casely-Hayford· Host1:20
Mm.
Kay Barron· Host1:21
And then just because I'm not doing 100% high street, a Gianvito Rossi leopard print screech.
Alice Casely-Hayford· Host1:26
We both love a bit of leopard, don't we?
Kay Barron· Host1:27
Absolutely. Yeah, d- but just a little.
Alice Casely-Hayford· Host1:29
But just a little
