“How many clothes do we need?” Do you have enough clothing to suit your personal needs is a much better question. I wrote about how to know if you have a "resolved" wardrobe and how to get there if you don't. Link in the next thread, but, first, how many of these statements do you agree with?

Almost everyone has *some* trauma regarding clothes. Of course we do: our bodies, our gender presentation, how we're treated, our class is all tied up into what we wear. The sooner we admit and unpack it, the sooner we can start the journey toward true self expression.

If you can shop online, you can shop secondhand. When it comes to fashion, that's not just clothes: there's an entire world of pre-loved shoes, belts, purses, jewelry, etc. that you can access online. Here's how I do it as a virtual stylist. 🧵

As a personal stylist with clients all over the world, I have become a bit of a polyglot. Meaning I sometimes have to say “jumper” instead of sweater for my British clients, or “gym shoes” instead of sneakers for my clients in Chicago. 😂
