(episode starts at 6:45 if you wanna miss the fun chatter in the beginning)
itâs our last episode of 2024! đŸâš
what better way to usher in a new calendar year than to talk about a highly curated list of whatâs in and whatâs out? (subjectively of course because weâre all different and all in good fun as usual) 2024 was quite a year and there are some things i donât want us to bring into 2025. letâs discussâŠ..
And be sure to check out the new playlist âThoughtful Tracks 001: Out of Officeâ to enjoy your last bit of downtime! **if you have Apple Music, this free app lets you transfer songs**

this week, we analyze Lord & Taylorâs legacy as a premier department store to a fallen emblem of the American middle class. but just when you thought it was over, an anonymous group has decided to relaunch the legacy brand as an online off-price retailer.
how does this move reflect broader trends in retail? letâs examine the challenges and opportunities this business strategy brings for the fashion retailer in todayâs e-commerce driven market.
(NOTE: at one point in this episode i mentioned that Hudsonâs Bay might own Canadian retailer Holt Renfrew- thatâs a lie actually; theyâre owned by Selfridges Group. but you canât lie, the vibes are so similar to Sakâs Fifth lol)

hey beautiful people! our first minisode here: just wanted to pop in and chat briefly about some things that have been on my mind.
to sum it up:
- how do you streamline content so that itâs most impactful?
-whatâs up with Black Friday 2024? have we reached the end of the consumerism railroad?
our regular podcast content will resume in the near future.
thanks for always tuning in!

In this episode, we unpack the viral video of a soft life content creator who thought sheâd found paradiseâonly to realize she married a "monster." We break down how the soft life aesthetic can actually hold women back, pushing them into narrow, performative boxes that arenât as glamorous as they seem.
We also dig into how American exceptionalism fuels classism and the harmful status markers it creates, plus why the obsession with fashion dictated by male suitors is the worst part of soft life content. Spoiler: itâs all about controlling womenâs choices.
Catch our raw take on the contradictions of the soft life, and how itâs more limiting than liberating.

will we be high femme or androgynous? who gets to sell us those 'blue bracelets'? what will we do with our high heels?

a lot of us are coming to terms with the depths of misogyny in the U.S. and that will take time.
among those realizations, i encourage you to realize your true self aesthetically and consider the ideaâŠ..who would i be if i didnât consider what men thought?
this episode is a manifesto, a trip down memory lane and a hope for the future đ
(EDIT: when going down memory lane i mistakenly credited Tim Burton with directing the Kelis video for âGet Along With Youâ and it was actually, Paul Hunter. i guess they were just âinspiredâ by Tim Burton. forgive me, internet đ„ș)

in this episode, we dive into the return of business formal dress codesâbecause apparently, our sweatpants weren't cutting it in the boardroom! as companies roll out their return to office plans, the stakes are higher than ever. is it time to dust off those blazers, or are we just trading comfort for conformity?
join us as we unravel the fashion dilemmas and the not-so-subtle power plays behind what we wear to work. after all, when job security is on the line, itâs not just what you say; itâs how you look saying it!

*topic discussion starts at 8:00 minute mark*
in this episode, weâre diving into the 2025 Met Gala theme and asking the real questions: do designers and attendees actually care about the exhibit curation, or is it just another excuse to show off their wild outfits?
join us as we explore the balance between creativity and cultural appropriation, and wonder if the Met Gala can ever be more than just a night of excess. tune in for some real talk, a few eye rolls, and maybe even a call for a little accountability in the world of high fashion.

in this episode, we dive into Filterworld by Kyle Chayka and explore how the idea of digital homogeneity affects our everyday lives. weâll connect Chaykaâs insights to the fashion industry, discussing how social media and curated aesthetics shape our style choices and create a culture of sameness.
how do algorithms influence what we wear and how we express ourselves? weâll chat about the impact of these trends on creativity in fashion and design, and what it means for our individuality.
does the algorithm lead to a lack of diversity? (spoiler: it does. but so did things that came before it.) join in for a conversation about navigating the complex relationships between algorithms and fashion, culture and creative expression. --Join us over on TikTok and Insta: @thoughtfulthreadspod
