Hey Mrs. Solomon on Style's avatar

SO MANY "I SEE YOU" MOMENTS. "Doesn’t make sense? Good news, it doesn’t have to! Your closet rules only need to make sense to you." And that bit about the piece staying in your closet until you learn the lesson of it. Kinda looking over my shoulder to see if maybe you're here somewhere xo

It’s so good to find other people with the same mindset. You might remember I had a similar experience with your writing when you wrote about intuitive eating|shopping.

“What do you do when stagnation feels like a bigger personal cost than change?”

“Being constructively dissatisfied doesn’t mean I’m unhappy with where I am. It means I believe in the next version of me before I even meet her.”

I love this so much. Beautifully articulated.

You’ve dropped the mic on the concept of closet clean out, styling, self awareness, self reflection and the list goes on. Barva !!!!!!!!

Wow, I am binge reading your posts. I’m also a UX designer and learning / growth is one of my core values. Love your style. This was thought provoking as I’ve yet to jump to “investment” (non fast fashion) pieces and I wonder if upgrading and being able to resell would basically break even compared to my current spending habits.

Oh hi! Love meeting other UX people out in the wild. And yes, I do think that helps for sure.

Omg yesssss. I love when people put to voice some itchy feeling that’s been existing inside me. This makes so much sense in all the ways.
