I get where this is coming from, but I don’t love it, because it just reads bitchy fashion take and puts such an importance on a materialistic problem the world already has with clothes. It’s not that deep. Just wear what you like, doesn’t mean you don’t have strong opinions on things that matter.
felicity, thank you for reading my post! i agree with you. the point of this post was to share a stance i’ve had for a while now; which is we should be creating our own moodboards and aesthetics, not be force fed by the algo that doesn’t necessarily have us (our facial and physical features, socioeconomic background, culture, aesthetic preferences, etc) in mind.
in the article, i wrote, “when we put together an outfit, or a look, what we are doing is creating a vibe that communicates our opinion. the more personal our outfit or look, the stronger our opinion. this is why personal taste remains paramount. so you mustn’t fall for the litany of ‘aesthetics’ currently swirling. remember, it’s a diouana woman’s truism that you are your own aesthetic.”
for me, the most powerful thing a woman can do in this life is be her own reference. when it comes to dressing, a self-referential closet doesn’t mean monthly shein hauls or the latest chanel. it means having an opinion of who you are as a woman in this life and showing up as that opinion personified in your clothing.
so, like you said felicity, just wear what you like 💓💕💗
