Issue 85. Style In Progress

My sense of style is evolving, and instead of resisting, I'm paying attention.

I’ve shared a few times recently that I’m feeling…off. Disconnected from my closet, and feeling unstylish. This disconnect has been difficult, I think in-part because it feels like failure. “I had everything figured out last year. What’s wrong with me that I’m not satisfied anymore?” I think the answer is actually quite simple: my preferences have changed. I want to be more expressive in my style. Last year, I was simply trying to keep my head above water while dealing with repeated changes to my body shape and size that meant that clothing I had previously adored no longer fit. I was in survival mode. And Project 333—having a very small wardrobe that was completely interchangeable—helped me make the most of a difficult situation.
