00:00 If you are scouring your closet for the perfect outfit for the WM Phoenix Open, have no fear
00:08 because fashion expert Tori Cruz is here with some tips to look our best.
00:12 Tori, thanks for being here.
00:14 Thank you so much.
00:15 I can't wait to talk about all things, what to wear for the Open.
00:18 This is such a fun time of year for Arizona and we have the best looks coming up to share
00:23 how to be prepared.
00:24 Well, I'm so excited.
00:25 So before we get into that, tell us a little bit about you and how you got into styling
00:29 and everything you do.
00:30 Yeah, so I was Miss Missouri USA.
00:32 So after I competed at Miss USA is when I founded my company and really was working
00:36 on personal branding and how to be a walking billboard and presence for your brand and
00:40 your business and just you as a person.
00:42 And really that's when my styling business came about and I've been styling female entrepreneurs
00:47 and speakers and business professionals and also too for some really fun events just like
00:52 the Phoenix Open.
00:53 So it's been a true blessing.
00:54 Oh, I love it.
00:55 And you know what?
00:56 It is so true that they say when you look your best and you feel good in your clothes,
01:00 you really do exude that confidence and that self-awareness that really just makes people
01:04 gravitate toward you, which is really cool.
01:06 So we have a ton of great events going on in the Valley right now.
01:09 The WM Phoenix Open being one of them.
01:12 So tell us some things that you're seeing because this year is a little bit different.
01:15 It's going to be raining, right?
01:17 Yes.
01:18 You have to be so prepared to for this day to night look because a lot of people are
01:21 going to the bird's nest afterwards, right?
01:23 Or the concerts that are going on.
01:25 So and some people are going G-Aid, other people are going tent, right?
01:28 So you have to have this very versatile look and also be prepared for the port-a-pots that
01:34 you know, that everybody just loves.
01:36 And as a female, that's always not the most fun.
01:38 So we have outfits that are very port-a-pot friendly.
01:41 I love it.
01:42 I love the versatility.
01:44 Also very friendly for different weather.
01:46 Great.
01:47 Those are all going to be amazing for the show.
01:49 Perfect.
01:50 Well, I'm excited to get to wear a model.
01:51 Why don't you and I, Tori, step back a little bit and let's invite our first model to come
01:55 out and you can tell us what he's wearing.
01:57 Yes, absolutely.
01:58 So Travis is wearing this amazing Bad Birdie jacket because it's going to be a little bit
02:04 more chilly this year than the typical Phoenix open and it's going to be rainy.
02:08 So you want to make sure that you're prepared for the rain.
02:10 Now Travis's entire look is one of those looks that are really excellent for day to night.
02:15 So if he's planning on going to the bird's nest, which I think he is, he may just be
02:20 putting on this backwards hat.
02:22 So he's not taking it too seriously, but he still looks the part and he's wearing these
02:26 fabulous Lululemon joggers with also his Kendra Scott watch to really elevate the entire outfit.
02:33 Oh, I love it.
02:34 I love that you have just that little piece there that kind of elevates the whole look
02:37 from day to night.
02:38 Looks fantastic.
02:39 All right.
02:40 Thank you.
02:41 Let's bring out our next model.
02:42 All right.
02:44 So Taylor has an amazing look that most of you would not actually think to wear wedges
02:50 at the Phoenix open, right?
02:52 But believe it or not, there are so many women that actually wear heels at the Phoenix open,
02:57 but you must only wear these wedges if you're going to one of the tents and you're not doing
03:02 a lot of walking because your feet might kill you by the end of the night.
03:05 But these are great also for day to night look.
03:08 Now Taylor's blouse is absolutely perfect for the open.
03:11 If you like to be a little bit more elegant when you're going to an occasion like this
03:16 with the white jeans and then she's topped off with the beautiful Kendra Scott jewelry.
03:21 The mixed metals are extremely trendy this season, so don't be afraid to mix the silver
03:25 and gold for that extra up level look overall.
03:28 That extra little oomph.
03:29 Yes.
03:30 And actually I love this look because this is something I would wear.
03:32 I love the white pants.
03:33 She's got that little tuck in right there, which gives it a little something fun and
03:36 extra and that cute belt.
03:37 All right.
03:38 I love that.
03:39 How about our next model?
03:40 All right.
03:41 All right.
03:42 So we have the fun Phoenix open attendee right here.
03:45 I mean, you are wearing a very amazing, bright, bad birdie shirt, which this is just for,
03:53 I mean, you see this all the time at the Phoenix open because you're walking around all the
03:56 time.
03:57 You want to be comfortable.
03:58 It's a very airy polo.
03:59 You're at a golf tournament, so you really want to have that polo look as well with his
04:03 Lulu Lemon pants and again, his Kendra Scott watch to really elevate the entire look and
04:08 tie it all together.
04:09 But he's really going to the open to have fun, to make friends, to be that, that really
04:14 fun and vibrant personality at the open.
04:17 This is the guy you see at the 16th hole with his drink in hand.
04:21 I love it.
04:22 This is great.
04:23 All right.
04:24 Thank you.
04:25 And our very last model, come on out.
04:26 All right.
04:27 And Jess's outfit is the perfect blend of a little bit sporty, but also just a very classy
04:34 look.
04:35 Very simple without this sweater.
04:36 But what we like about this sweater is that it adds that green touch.
04:39 So you have that for the open because of course you're at a golf tournament.
04:43 So we love this sweater just over your shoulders.
04:45 You can even tie it like this for a different look and then, or you can just hang it down.
04:51 So this is a beautiful look from Alison Olivia that we absolutely love.
04:56 Kendra Scott jewelry once again, and you can also put on a hat to really make the look
05:03 a little bit more fun for the open.
05:05 And also for us females going to the open, if it rains, a hat is always a really great
05:10 idea.
05:11 You're covered literally.
05:12 All right.
05:13 I love this.
05:14 Okay.
05:15 Tori, thank you so much for these amazing looks for the open.
05:16 Tell everybody where they can find more information about you.
05:17 Absolutely.
05:18 So you can find me at official Tori Cruz on Instagram is the best way.
05:21 All right.
