I dig this. Funny how things change as you get older, i remember in high school how hard i fought to not have to wear uniforms, (they were really ugly…) but now in my 20’s, i realize how mich simpler life would be if i didnt have to be concerned about what i wear. Who really gives a shit? Like anyones going to see you twice at your local Wally World and think, “she wore that yeaterday…” right. fat chance.i have 3 or 4 staples outfits i dress my 3month old daughter in, and she doesnt seem to care. (haha). and neither should we.

“I’m hear and we’re chattering about this via facebook”.
Here- location
Hear- the act of listening/hearing.

Grammar aside- I think what you’re doing is fantastic & an interesting way to prove that excess is just that, excess and unnecessary. Way to return to your creativity and expression through other outlets, while moving the focus away from dress.

I empathize with basically everything you said. While I was living in Boston it seemed as if my day was dependent on what I was wearing. I would go shopping during my lunch break if I didn’t feel my outfit fit my mood. I relied too heavily on the high I got from having something new and fun to wear. It’s completely unnecessary, and like you said quite a distraction from the creative process. So excited about this project!
