Personal style is dead?

this video essay is superb. so well researched and lots to chew on. this has really made me reconsider what i think of as “wearable” pieces in my wardrobe - the everyday items that aren’t costume. and there aren’t a lot of them. i haven’t invested in sturdy, nice basics because i’ve never been a “basics” person. but getting dressed everyday is getting more and more annoying, and this video really helped me understand why, and to re-consider my anti-basic bias. definitely motivating me to properly invest in my everyday wear! a must watch for freaks who love fashion

DIEWORKWEAR

while he’s become known as the menswear guy on twitter Derek Guy’s blog dieworkwear is full of long form dives into whatever he’s into at the moment . his writing for put this on is great as well , though the site’s largely dead now , the archive is still informative & interesting (i’d recommend looking through the knowledge base & advice tabs) .  i always look forward to his excited to wear seasonal series , it’s a joy to read his work & see what’s moving him in the upcoming season . he’s obviously got a strong base of knowledge in menswear , both casual & formal , but he emphasizes style that’s personal to a specific life , the delights of wearing clothes , & what they mean in the world . what’s great about his blog as well is that he always includes a wide variety of photos that illustrate the various pieces & styles he’s highlighting , both throughout his articles as well as a string of them at the bottom . they’re perfect for seeing how many different (often real) people are wearing these pieces and how you could work them into your own life .  all that said nothing beats trying a lot of stuff on , seeing what feels good for you & what sticks . it’s about the physical & emotional feeling of your clothes as they stand between you & the world . a side rec for checking out more curated stores , whether that’s smaller boutique menswear shops or higher end vintage/consignment places . even if you don’t buy anything there it’s useful just to see what’s good & what you can look for at other places , without having to do so much sorting & searching through a thrift store or mall (which i find exhausting & often frustrating)

physically going to the shops

go places & try things on ! i came up in the fashion blog wave & will [somewhat embarrassingly] always be kinda menswear pilled due to heavy exposure to putthison & four pins at an impressionable age . so i definitely love developing taste by just consuming a million images of things you’ll never wear or even likely see in person in combination with articles about clothes that are equally removed from your life ... but truly nothing beats just going to stores & trying things on . there’s no better way to see what actually works for you & feels good on your body than the tactile experience of wearing different clothes , often trying something on can put you on to a shape/style/fabric/brand you might not have otherwise considered . i love shopping designer consignment for this because you can try a really wide range of brands/eras/styles all in one place & they usually have some sort of curation so you don’t have to dig forever to find beautiful things . but also the experience of going to try on things you couldn’t necessarily afford at fancy possibly overpriced shops [‘boutiques’] is also great because honestly part of dressing up & shopping is the fantasy of a person you might be if you had the right clothes . obligatory shoutout to jon moy , arabelle sicardi , derek guy & tumblr fashion blogs/archives for influencing the way i shop & look at clothes forever

luminous puffins!

The puffin is the latest addition to more than 180 known species—many of them sharks, corals, and other marine animals—that emit a luminous glow. The fact that so many marine animals biofluoresce "tells us organisms are using light in ways we don't even see," John Sparks, curator of fishes at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City.

learn something totally different, just to prove that you can

Python! Honestly very hard for me to get into - I have ZERO coding knowledge and nothing I could really latch onto - knowledge transfer is how I learn. But https://futurecoder.io/ is great (after lots of Redditing)

lower your expectations without lowering your standards

I read that happiness is when your expectations falls below the reality. A new mind project for April. Good prognosis.
