Rec | STEALING FROM BRANDY MELVILLE

⭐

My weekly practice. I find it to be so profoundly healing and generative. I never feel more alive and awakened than when I’m shoving a $35 sweater into my coat pockets, dodging security guards, flanked by blonde and brown haired identical girls.

Being hacker chic

Not in Silicon Valley Elon musk way! Rather - efficient, effective, uniform, focused on bettering the self, could probably guzzle a smoothie and go on a run whenever, flexible, and always prepared with a solution. So basically i think this genre of fashion/style was already a thing but I sort of kept grasping at thin air trying to get at how I was dressing at the time. In December 2021 I hit a stride somehow with wearing the same plain black long sleeves/mocknecks I thrifted a while back, with some unif black VERY straight leg wide jeans, and my roommates tech LL bean vest over. With a beanie. It felt good, I liked my silhouette, I felt sort of hidden yet uniformed in a very stark and comfortable way that made me feel seen, even just in my own eyes. Uniting masculine with some feminine, all the good stuff about a good silhouette! started calling it hacker chic. I’ve since ventured into many different sub styles as is a very classic thing to do, and even embellish the hacker chic look with medieval esque elements when I’m feeling that. but whenever I feel at a loss lately or unsure of my style and aesthetic I go back to hacker chic silhouettes. I love it, hope u do too :)

my life changed for the better when i stopped dressing to look as small as possible

I have thought about this at length, I fear. I want to look and feel at ease in my clothes and I shop for clothing very intentionally. For me the rules of outfits are: - No single-designer looks - Steam/press rarely - No logos (sneakers are the exception) - Always wear at least 1 garment with visible wear or damage - Get dressed intentionally every day - It does not matter how conventionally flattering the look is. I care only about how it makes me feel in my body - Never clean Ur (my) shoes except to keep leather in condition I shop almost exclusively second hand and in person—I only buy if I would be heartbroken to come back for a garment to find it had passed me by forever. Most pieces I see are effectively one-offs because I treat them this way. I am attracted to Japanese workwear silhouettes, modular garments, and drama. “My” colour is the shade precisely between yellow and orange. All my jewelry is gifted. I aim to keep garments until the end of their lives.

thrift flipping

Picking out a piece that has already been loved by someone else and making it your own is so rewarding and special. One of my favorite ways to make my style personal.
