My Dark Nights of the Soul usually involve a substance-related disaster – taking too little or too much of a substance (anything from coffee to alcohol to my ADHD meds), taking something too late in the day, or a switch in meds that’s not going well. I write to you at 3 AM on 5/14Continue reading “Dark Night of the Soul”

If You Must Fest
The extremely fashionable and kind Saige Power recently sent me a DM requesting HR’s intervention. They wrote: “I’m going to a music festival this summer and want to feel chic and hot and comfortable and gender confirmed (a mix of masc and femme). Also I’m travelling to get there and will need to pack light!”Continue reading “If You Must Fest”
Drip Duets: Couple’s Style
In a twist that absolutely NO ONE saw coming, an avowed Repeller maaaaay have attracted someone with whom they have entered the couple-form. Luckily, this person already cares about fashion and dresses well (showing them HR on our first date was a risky move, but it paid off, I think?). But it has got meContinue reading “Drip Duets: Couple’s Style”
No Good Reason
As you may or may not know, depending on how many months you’ve dutifully tuned in to this blog (thank you for sticking around, by the way, after the past few weeks of me not posting–life has been happening to me, you could say, and I’m all the better for it), I am typically aContinue reading “No Good Reason”
Quarter-life Crisis Trend Report
Last night, I ate weed gummies and proceeded to have a two hour long deepthink about the way my style both reflects and rejects many trends and what these interactions might mean. In this post, I’ll use a handful of trends from the past year/in forecasts for the rest of 2022 by various mainstream fashionContinue reading “Quarter-life Crisis Trend Report”
How to Dress Like Kim Kitsuragi
I wrote this post months ago, in the thick of my first wave of Disco Elysium hyperfixation (if you haven’t played it yet… imagine me saying the most compelling thing possible to you, personally, to get you to play it. You will not regret it). I originally intended to dissect the outfits of a fewContinue reading “How to Dress Like Kim Kitsuragi”
Repeller, Repulsed
Sometimes, negativity can be generative. Reacting to a garment with repulsion or skepticism can tell someone a lot about their aesthetic values and how they are situated in relation to the fashion zeitgeist, suggesting ways forward from wherever we are now. The following are a selection of recent/current trends that evoke a Nope response inContinue reading “Repeller, Repulsed”
It Will Come
Yo! HR reporting from the end of a thread I am barely hanging onto! Everything is hell as always, so I’m gonna write about what to wear this spring! Very important, hard-hitting reportage being undertaken over here! Also it’s my birthday today, March 9. It is currently snowing big, fat, wet flakes. Trying not toContinue reading “It Will Come”
Heartbreak Hell
You ever been heartbroken? Hah, me neither. Lol I’m a Pisces, I factor heartbreak into my biannual schedule. Anyway Short little dispatch from Heartbreak Hotel today. Here are some clothes to wear to conceal, reveal, and deeply *feel* your poor little aortas’ pain. Maybe you’ll even catch the eye of a potential new heartbreaker inContinue reading “Heartbreak Hell”
I Yam What I Wear
I have been in a Robert Altman phase recently, and last week finally watched Popeye (1980). I’m always thrilled to see Robin Williams and Shelley Duvall in virtually any capacity, but what immediately captivated me about the film were the costumes, which from minute one lent themselves to dream outfit-building. From the black rubber (?)Continue reading “I Yam What I Wear”
