Color journey update. I've done two dye jobs- an oxblood red, and a marigold orange (the hanging shirts show it best). Very happy with both and how they interact with other stuff. I think I want to do a light pinky-purple, and then I'll be set.

I've been really inspired by Laraaji recently. He practices 'uniform' dressing in an enlightened sort of way. He made me think a lot about the power of color on the body, how it affects your energy (amplifies? mutes? neutralizes?). I have always been drawn to certain colors but I've never thought ab...

long struggled with head coverings until i saw denzel curry and his celine scarf https://i.imgur.com/OlHPY3V.jpeg i've been wearing a few lightweight cotton scarves in the summer-level heat. way more comfortable than a baseball hat and i'll sacrifice a brim for neck protection https://i.imgur.com/K2...

https://i.imgur.com/C9Vm4Ms.jpeg Finally had to sacrifice swag for comfort. Got my feet scanned at a running store and they recommended Brooks Adrenalines. I can feel them actively correcting my overpronation. When I told my partner it was the first time I could wiggle my toes inside my shoes he wa...

Hot take: I think 'versatile' pieces are overrated. Putting emphasis on how many combinations you can make with your clothes only matters to you. I'd rather have a couple really solid outfits that I repeat often (offending no one) than 28 subpar combinations that half-work. If you have one outfit th...

Skinny, cropped trousers were popular with millenials because they looked largely the same in pictures as they do in real life, and millenial online life was one centered around "authenticity" Wide, artfully pooling trousers can now become popular because for Gen Z the online image is the...

bland summer work uniform

Just bought a canon powershot s90 for taking better “portraits” aka fitpics. Might make a tumblr again as I find the echoing desert of C-T to feel very lonely. It’s like jogging along Forrest Gump-style. Occasionally you pass another jogger you can smile and wave at. But mostly it’s just the dull be...

Found a nice spot for fit pics (and reading)
My friend gave me this Leonard Peltier tote a few years back (look him up/let him out)
Feel like I've been craving constructive criticism on my swag but everyone i know is too lovely and grounded to provide it (๑˃ᴗ˂)ﻭ

Found my old external hard-drive containing photos I downloaded off FB while deleting it in 2015. Lots of fit pics from high school and college. Realized I've been wearing white Hane's boys t-shirts/undershirts for my entire adult life. For all of college I was an extreme minimalist- I wore black sk...

Share what has become an unlikely star in your closet. Mine: A gray flannel/faux fur trapper hat I've had for at least 4 years. I have no idea where it came from; pretty sure it belonged to a family member who no longer wanted it. I wear it every single day in the winter. Somehow works with everythi...

two modes: awkward smile and RBF

thinking about the fact that you can 'earn' the ability to pull something off through daily unrelenting adherence. if you wear something every single day, it's going to look like crap/feel bad some days but eventually you breakthrough to the point where it just becomes a part of you thinking about t...
