  • In this chat, we tackle how fashion and personal style are changing and why it’s time to challenge those old style rules. We talk about redefining what “flattering” really means, dressing without worrying about age, and getting creative with color matching.

    Self-expression and confidence are super important to us, and we explore how our clothing choices impact our mindset. We discuss the need for intentionality in fashion, the limits of traditional rules, and how context can complicate what’s deemed appropriate. Plus, we dive into dressing for the life we want and finding that balance between being aspirational and staying true to ourselves.

  • This week, we explore whether style rules are timeless or just tied to current trends. We cover basics like balancing proportions, the rule of thirds, and the three-color rule, but see them as flexible tools rather than hard-and-fast rules. We also touch on how style rules change with different generations and how social media has expanded our fashion choices. Ultimately, we believe style rules can be helpful but should be adapted to fit our personal preferences and not restrict us. It’s more about finding what feels right and enjoying our own unique style.

  • In this chat, we dive into a recent scandal with Christian Dior and their production practices. We’re looking at the gap between the cost of making Dior handbags and their sky-high prices. We also touch on transparency issues in the luxury industry and whether high prices actually mean higher quality.

    We share our thoughts on why we buy luxury items and the need to question their value and quality. We’re frustrated with brands that charge a lot but deliver little, especially when we expect top-notch quality and craftsmanship. Is it all about shareholder greed?
    We discuss the importance of transparency and accountability in luxury brands, pointing out those that genuinely prioritize quality and ethics, versus those that let us down with subpar products.

  • Today, we are exploring the idea of "choosing hard" for better style habits. We compare cheap dopamine—like the quick pleasure from shopping and social media—with expensive dopamine, which comes from more effortful sources. We emphasize the value of shopping our own closets, tackling problem pieces, and putting effort into outfit creation. We also discuss the benefits of a dopamine detox to reset our pleasure levels. Our tips focus on practicing moderation and making thoughtful style choices.

We also explore some other methods, like the five-four-three-two-one approach, and discuss how engaging regularly with our wardrobes can help.

  • In today’s episode, we dive into the trending hashtag #UnderConsumptionCore and its impact across social media. We discuss its TikTok origins and how it aligns with minimalism. We also emphasize the need for nuance and caution against it becoming just another fleeting trend. Our conversation covers how guilt and shame can influence sustainable change and the limitations of short-form platforms like TikTok for deep reflection. We also explore the risk of turning under-consumption into a competition — and remind ourselves and you that It’s about mindfulness in buying and spending, not a race to own the least.

  • In this episode, we talk about why slow fashion brands struggle and often close down. Consumers usually go for price over sustainability, which makes it hard for ethical brands to compete with fast fashion. We discuss how advertising and social media drive our constant need for new clothes, and the allure of 'cheap dopamine'—a quick thrill that's addictive but unsustainable. We delve into how our personal mindset and actions are crucial to support slow fashion — it's about buying consciously, aligning purchases with our values, and pushing brands to prioritize sustainability. We also cover recycling challenges and the shared responsibility between individuals and systems.
