No matter the decade, nostalgia will never go out of style. It’s why fashion rotates and why some of us can’t let go of our high school prom fit or baby blanket. Our pieces connect us with our memories.

My mother has always managed to command a room. Call it luck, call it spark, call it that je ne sais quoi — she would just call it her outfit.

They support us through the good, the bad, and the downright messy. This love letter goes out to our favorite pair of shoes. God bless their soles.

I saw a post on social media recently that said without a few essential wardrobe staples, you’ll always feel like you have nothing to wear - and damn - that resonated!

In the past few years, I’ve been working hard to switch my wardrobe mindset from “I don’t have anything to wear” (and consequently always buying things I don’t need) to “HOW can I wear what I have?”

I grew up in the nineties and aughts, the awkward gloriousness of which hasn’t quite been accurately reflected in TikTok trends.

I realized I have a significant number of pieces in my wardrobe that I’ve either only worn once or haven’t worn at all. It wasn’t that these pieces didn't fit or were no longer my aesthetic. In truth, they were perfect items, and I’d had plenty of chances to wear them, but I hadn’t.

The thrill of shopping and building a wardrobe filled with the latest styles and fashions stayed with me for a long time but then, like most people, I started learning more about the impact of the fashion industry on our global environment and the issues surrounding fast-fashion production.

While I noticed how quickly I got tired of the trendier items I purchased, I simultaneously noticed just how often I was okay with wearing my favorite black t-shirt. In fact, I NEVER got tired of it.

My wardrobe has always been about so much more than the clothes I like to wear regularly. It’s a vibrant mix of all the versions of myself I used to be, currently am, would like to be, and might be.

…what we wear (at it’s best) should reflect who we are-and that is ever changing of course. For me it was never about trying to dress like someone else or be some person I wasn’t- it was about feeling confident in who I was and wanted to be at the time
