Sally will be talking about her latest book Styled.

Personal stylist Sally Mackinnon, known to her social media followers as styledbysally, brings Styled - a warm, practical and refreshingly realistic guide to building personal style with confidence, clarity and ease.

At its heart, the book explores why so many women feel disconnected from their wardrobes - and often from themselves. Between trend overload, body changes, motherhood, work, ageing, fast fashion and the pressure to constantly reinvent yourself, getting dressed has quietly become overwhelming for many women.

Sally's approach cuts through the noise. Rather than telling women what they should wear, Styled helps readers understand their personal style, reconnect with confidence and build wardrobes that reflect who they actually are.

Across Victoria’s Midwest, we acknowledge that we travel across the ancient landscapes of many First Peoples communities. These lands have been nurtured and cared for over tens of thousands of years and we respect the work of Traditional Custodians for their ongoing care and protection.

We recognise the past injustices against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in this country. As our knowledge grows, we hope that we can learn from their resilience and creativity that has guided them for over 60,000 years. As we invite people to visit and explore Victoria’s Midwest, we ask that alongside us, you also grow to respect the stories, living culture and connection to Country of the Ancestors and Elders of our First Peoples.
