When I first started my ethical fashion journey, I

When I first started my ethical fashion journey, I used to post more outfit photos here on IG and on my blog. Once I built my wardrobe with sustainable, timeless pieces, I had way less desire to document my looks. These days, I aspire to dress like a cartoon character: the same outfit every day. This summer, it's denim shorts with a white t-shirt. Not very Insta-worthy, I know.

The problem with social media is that we're bombarded with trends and micro trends, which promote crazy levels of consumption. Because influencers only get traction on the algorithm if they post every day, they're pressured to buy new clothes all the time, making their followers feel obligated to keep up. What's hot can become "cheugy" in a matter of months, maybe weeks. This is why I subconsciously opted out a long time ago. I don't even know if anyone is going to see this post because IG only shows my content to, like, 1% of my followers to punish me for not posting often. That's fine, because I feel free.

I can't wait for my new site to be up so I can write more in-depth blog posts about this and whatever else is on my mind. Expect more long-form essays.

BTW this is an old @vettacapsule dress going strong after 5+ years.

BLOG UPDATE: I've been having technical issues for

BLOG UPDATE: I've been having technical issues for months, and long story short, I've decided to get the blog completely rebuilt. Since I'll be starting from scratch, I'm redesigning it exactly the way I want and it'll have a NEW NAME, one that is catchier and more personal.

The content will be the same. The old URL will redirect to the new one, and old posts will still be accessible.

While I nerd out on the redesign, I will be taking a blogging break until it's done, likely August.

Excited to share the rebrand! I'm a neat freak so the new site will be wayyy better organized.

I've been doing well in recent months with reading

I've been doing well in recent months with reading only two books at the same time. A bunch of my library holds came this week though, but I'm just going to quickly finish the top two books since they are short, then get to the next two on alien theories. They provide startling evidence that we are the descendants of extraterrestrials. 🤔

Swipe to see what other books I've finished in recent months. You'll just have to wait for my year-end reading roundup for my thoughts.

Entering those months where I only wear floral dre

Entering those months where I only wear floral dresses. In the last few years,I really embraced dressing sweet and feminine, my #kibberomantic type. Fashion for me is pretty surface level though, because it's about looking good and feeling comfortable - it doesn't communicate who I am and my general attitude in life, which is 100% punk rock.

New spring uniform. If I really want to go incognito, I'll add a face mask and sunglasses (swipe).

Blazer: @frankandoak from last year
Cap: @nike
Camisole: @wearpact
Bag: brown @celine sangle from 2015 (the best secondhand find from @poshmark. The leather was extra soft from years of wear so I added an insert to keep the structure.)
Jeans: the same @3x1 jeans I've been wearing for 5 or 6 years now (I never take them off, shower with them on #nevernude )

So my old monogrammed @kayudesign bag broke after

So my old monogrammed @kayudesign bag broke after about 4 years of use (I'm very rough with my stuff), so I've upcycled it into a planter. 🙂 I haven't had much luck keeping plants alive so far. Maybe it's because I don't water them or whatever? 🤔 Anyway, I hope this one grows. Thanks to my bestie for this Monstera Deliciosa from @jomostudio 🌿 What do I do when the leaf tips turn brown though? Send me your plant tips please. #somebodyhelpme
