Rec'd on 👕 IS IT WEIRD TO POST PICS IN THE SAME CLOTHES MORE THAN ONCE?

Shows your taste, that you value the clothes you wear and aren’t just trying to look like you own every piece of clothing ever. Overconsumption core is out!

honestly, I can’t keep up with trends either. I just stick to a basic style and add a few updates now and then

Certain consumerist choices

1. making choices solely based on what’s “flattering.” I think ppl are far too attached to the idea that a piece has to “look good on you” in order to wear it. if you want to wear something because it’s comfortable or the piece looks cool or whatever the reason, you should wear it free of any mental burden. 2. heavily curating one style/core/aesthetic/microtrend. say you’ve been living large in the clean girl aesthetic for years and one day you find a dark academia piece you really like and so you spend an exorbitant amount of money on replacing your clean girl wardrobe with a dark academia one. girl, the environment. can we not all agree that we’re all likely mashups of different things with diverse taste or is that just me??

make yourself a canvas

allocating more than just a few pinterest ideas and aesthetics in order to curate a style that you’re confident in will make you stand out. whether you think that’s a good or bad thing, by “stand out” i mean people catch a glimpse of you and immediately know who you are based on how you dress. there’s nothing wrong with going with a trend if you like it, but it’s so painful to see people consume for the sake of consumption. i mean that’s a concept for a whole other rec in itself, but what i’m trying to get at is you don’t need to constantly use outfit inspo pics for outfit inspo. seek your surroundings, ponder your past, think about yourself as a piece of art, which you ultimately are. don’t avoid wearing the statement piece that a stranger would find weird, they’re probably just pissy. dress the fuck up on days you don’t need to just for the hell of it. and remember, don’t get discouraged if the first “crazy” fit you throw on looks like shit. it takes time to make art! and if you feel comfortable and beautiful in simpler articles, and you’re not into anything too bold or loud, still make it your look. art doesn’t have to be complex, but make each choice have purpose. why choose one blank white tee over another? is it a specific hue of white? does it compliment other features of your outfit? is it comfy as fuck? show that to people and make them know it’s you. you don’t need to dress to impress, but god if you bought that shirt only because your favorite influencer promoted it, or even worse if you bought it just because it was on a sale rack, you‘re disrespecting your canvas! it’s like pissing on a van gogh oil painting– it might look amazing but you can’t help but think about the fact that there’s piss on it. that brings me to probably the most widespread concern of consumers: cost. yes, higher quality products are going to cost more. it’s difficult in such a dense place like SoCal(where i’m from) to find cheap ANYTHING. i split a dozen dumplings for $20 the other day with a friend and i swear i could’ve called 911 on this food-influencer-aimed “chinese” restaurant for highway robbery. food was pretty good tho can’t lie. however, that doesn’t mean that it’s impossible to find incredible clothing from staple secondhand stores like Goodwill. several friends of mine have landed at their unique styles that can be associated directly to them, and their closets are mostly filled with Goodwill Bins finds. “ohhhh the Bins are so dirtyyy eewwww” yeah if you can’t dig through some used clothing for a while don’t complain about not being able to afford those $600 shitstained acne jeans. i might’ve gotten a little personal with that. lmk your thoughts on fashion and what it means to you! you know what fuck it just wear sweatpants a sweatshirt and flip flops life’s not that serious

OUTFIT REPEATING

the fact that many of us (me included) have closets so expansive that we could avoid repeats for several weeks is actually quite troubling and shows how capitalism habituates us into defining ourselves as consumers. and it’s not just practical and sustainable to repeat your outfits, it’s also how you season the clothes, elevating the outfit’s contents to something more than possessions or garments.
