I’ve been trying to spend less on new clothes and it’s giving me the opportunity to rediscover older items in my wardrobe that I haven’t worn in years. And I feel like my style has almost improved?

been feeling really uncool and uninspired with my clothing, so last night I tried on loads of outfits, figuring out different combinations and stylings. i took photos of every combination I liked, so I can never say “I have nothing to wear”. It was really fun and I felt good about myself and my wardrobe. Instantly stopped me wanting to buy anything new. I highly recommend it!

i really lost my sense of personal style for a couple years. i found that going to a store and grabbing a bunch of shit to try on can be super fun and helpful when getting your mojo back that way. getting to take a real look at yourself in the clothes really helps you envision what they’d look like with the rest of your wardrobe. you’ll see what you love, and what’s not for you. the best part about it is surprising yourself when something you didn’t think you’d like actually makes you feel really good!
going to the stores to try things on is free and can be a fun date with friends! have a real movie makeover moment if you wish.
the biggest thing that got me excited about dressing myself again tho was identifying the pieces that i absolutely adore in my wardrobe and utilizing them as much as possible. i love finding new ways to style the same jacket or dress or whatever. that’s even better than buying something new because you already love the piece and it already fits your style!

I'm writing an essay and I've come up with three antidotes to overconsumption.
1. Consume critically. I don't care how many books you read last year - how does your favourite author use literary devices to tell their story? How does your favourite film director create a mood? Figure this out.
2. Create anything. And I really mean anything. Bake a cake, write an essay, knit a scarf. This is probably the best antidote to overconsumption because it preoccupies you, but it also helps develop some respect for what it takes to do the things that you consume.
3. Connect with people. It doesn't need to be that deep. DM your favourite content creator that you like their stuff. Comment on people's PI.FYI recs. If you enjoy consuming another person's content, letting them know is just a nice thing to do (and helps avoid parasocial relationships).

Last Monday I took a day off work (paid!) to go to the cinema with my friend and watch three films all in one go - A Complete Unknown, Babygirl and Nosferatu. We went out for coffees and dinner between films, but it was fun to make an outing of it while catching up on the newest films. Try and space out the screenings strategically so you don’t end up spending 12 hours out and about like we did.

I ain’t ordering pizza delivery in this economy. I’ve got a go-to pizza dough recipe that never fails, it takes 1.5 hours to make including dough-rise time, and at this point I prefer it to most restaurant pizzas.
