Questin’ Episode 2 – What About Your Clothes?

When I’m zoned in on something I’m passionate about (hello, hyperfocus) I can easily spend 12 hours curled up in the corner of our couch with 0 food and water. By the time my partner finds me, I resemble Gollum (and my hyperfocus is very much my precioussss). This all to say that I get inside my head very easily, but in my body? Not so much.

Clothing has been an ongoing battle for me for a large part of my life – in an attempt to be liked I’d try to wear things others would compliment me about, but they wouldn’t truly feel… me. I’d feel awkward and self-conscious. So I’d enjoy life less.

When I dress how I feel, I…

1. Feel confident
2. Get to focus my mental energy on things that are more important and
3. Attract people who like me for who I am

So while this week’s question might feel shallow at first, I’ve found that actually answering it has a big impact on other things.

My vision for this week

“Clothes that bring out the best in me are clothes that – above all – help me be comfortable with whatever I do. No amount of Marie Kondo is capable of making me pay attention to my clothing items, so delicate materials are only for special occasions. Yes, I know I may look stunning in gowns, but I am most me in denim, casual bodycon dresses in summer, stretchy pants and sweaters in winter. I love oversized and baggy – it makes me feel very masc. I love weird patterns and colors. Above all, my clothes need to be versatile so I can wake up and get dressed in under two minutes and then go do the things I truly care about. ”
