A reminder of a great thing Cate Blanchett once said about women & personal style. "Itโ€™s about women who feel free to wear what they want when they want and how they want to wear it. We all like looking sexy, but it doesnโ€™t mean we want to f*ck you."

Remember the first time you saw netballers in green and gold on telly and felt proud and seen as a girl who loved the sport? There's a few boys around Australia having that moment right now ...
