This reminded me about the infamous devil wears Prada scene where Miranda explains how the sweater trickled down from designers. It’s interesting how we lean into certain items of clothing, especially when you’re rushed. Subconsciously we always return to our truth.

This '"stuff I actually like" following your method to find out what that is, needs to become a thing here

i took ig off my phone 2.5 weeks a go and haven’t actively scrolled on tiktok since the ban fakeout, maybe even earlier.

ive realized that without ig or tt — or even substack noise about how to find you personal style or why you should dress in XYZ way — im not even sure what i like.

even as someone who grew out of microtrends years ago.

was freaking out about this today and i think your post came to me at the PERFECT time, so thank you

Love the idea of pure influence vs a limited/restricted influence. To not just think about what we see on tiktok and instagram, or other algorithmic apps. But to let in everything else that you've seen influence you. In return, gets you to the point of figuring what you actually like.
