Some ‘normal’ recs

I’m going to assume ‘normal’ means things regular humans wear that don’t cost $$$$$$. I peeped some of the other recs and they had a lot of great options. Some broad thoughts: • Thrifting is incredible...if you know what you’re looking for. It’s worth spending some time doing research / time in the stores feeling all the things yourself. • GAP’s new creative department is incredible and they’re honestly the best all-around normal mall brand. Fits are great. Materials are thoughtful and rational (their linen stuff has been shockingly good). • I am a loyal cultist to J Crew (and her younger, edgier, hotter sister in Madewell). The men’s department is currently way ahead of the women’s — SHOP THE MENS DEPARTMENT! This is peak era of women-wearing-menswear so abuse it. • Everlane is good, their fits are hit or miss though. I’d say if you can go to a physical store try stuff on there.

NON-BORING CLOTHES?

I like urban outfitters when they have good deals, and shopping secondhand mostly! hit up some thrift stores/consignment shops and maybe also get a pair of overalls🤷 get some jewelry, mix and match silver and gold if you can pull it off, and even styling the basics you have already. also, urban’s brand (bdg) has cool denim, i have a pair of green jeans from there :p

Canoe Club, Mr. Porter, Nepenthes, Haven...

Okay, some of my recommendations get expensive, but you didn't state a *specific* budget... Also, my full page of recs leans towards more classic / ivy / tailoring, but there's a good mix, I think.

set your reading goal this year

I feel like 12 is a wonderful place to start. 1 book a month. Keep it in your bathroom. Beside your bed. Where you eat your meals. Please read this year. It's one of the best things you can do for yourself. and for me, and for everyone who you'll tell, I'm reading again, and you should read with me too. Take pictures or screencaps of passages and send them to your friends. Read funny, easy books, evil and upsetting books, books that are boring but are still satisfying to finish. Go to the library. Challenge yourself. You will feel better, you'll feel proud of yourself, and you'll banish the negative moodlet of being mad or ashamed at yourself for not reading. It's ok that you haven't been. You had your reasons and it doesn't do any good to beat up on yourself. That was then and this was now. Start a book tomorrow bc it is a new day :)

set yourself against algorithmic recommendation

I don't listen to any AI generated playlists because I prefer to hear ones curated by people. I love sharing music as a human to human thing. It's also dismaying how music streaming services prioritize the songs of artists whose management pay them, etc. It's so fun to simply browse anonymous person's curated lists instead on top of sharing with friends. It's never been easier to peek into someone else's semi-private music preference and walk their landscape. Just today I found a person who's made dozens of playlists for specific beanie babies (!), all with no saves or likes. We don't need AI driven sorting to develop taste and find things we like. Break out of the corral with me and run free. Let's see what's over the hill
