Why I Wear the Same Outfit to Work Everyday (an essay in pictures)
Trying Something New: Creative Armor, Choice Fatigue, and the Joy of Simplicity
Thanks for reading! If you disliked this format, don’t worry — it’s just a one time thing. I like to experiment with form to break up the usual patterns. Anyways, I have two more posts that discuss fashion/clothes that are presently in the works. Stay tuned!
And, since someone asked:
Love this in theory but I actually go to bed giddy, excited to pick out my outfit for the next day. It feels like such a fun creative challenge that I chew on before bed and in the morning while I get ready. Am I the only one who feels this way?
Honestly the monk and nun outfits go hard. Simplistic and iconic. And I appreciated hearing the Christian perspective in addition to the classic examples of Jobs and Zuck
Buuuut...not to be contrarian 😏 — I get the "save decision-making glucose in your brain by not choosing what to wear" thing. But is there some counter-argument about how clothing is a form of self expression—especially if you're a "creative"? Aren't we meant to add BEAUTY to the world? Like color and vibrancy and style! I like the idea of getting inspired by what's around you and if your closet is just a bunch of the same, seems a bit lackluster 😁 open to discussion lol.
