I love this axis!!! Isn’t it fun to create these things?! Also, PAJAMA DRESSING!! I sort of want to think about where some of my recent outfits land on your matrix. Or what the two axis would be on my own outfit matrix!

Love that you said that, it really is fun to think about where different outfits land depending on what you’re prioritizing that day. I’d be so curious what your axes would be. Knowing your voice, I bet they’d be spot-on and a little surprising in the best way.

Wow I love this idea! Your chart and looks are so wonderful and helpful! So glad you shared your post over on Midimalist! 💚 it feels like an easy way to flow and be more low key even on days that you feel like a potato but have to look like a human.

Thank you so much for reading and sharing that this resonated with you. I appreciate it! Also feel like a potato made me LOL earlier in a meeting and just now again at dinner.

Haha! It’s a term I heard on an ADHD blog and man did it resonate 😆 or I could say vegetable day to not make just one feel to blame 😆😆

Asta, I’ve been doing this for years, but never explained it so scientifically (f’ing CHART, so epic).

I see you have found my two tried and true formulas: Jammy dresses and suits.

Dress- just add a couple of accessories and a pair of shoes and you’re good.

Suits- add a cool top and a funky pair of shoes.

Minimum effort, maximum results! Rock on!💕 Love this!

Yes yes that’s it!! You nailed it. And you have been nailing it for years I love love. Tell me other hacks too please! What else am I missing out on

I also have a casual hack formula: band tee (I buy merch from shows I see) + cool skirt or pants + funky shoes + jacket.

I just posted an article exemplifying a bunch of these!

Ahh, thank you so much! That means a lot coming from you. Your writing has sparked so many thought spirals for me (the good kind!), so it feels extra special to hear this. Truly appreciate the encouragement—and the inspiration.
