Let’s get a little personal, shall we?
In terms of personal style, I prefer not to speak in absolutes, but over the past year, I've found that my wardrobe has truly become a reflection of myself. Two significant factors contributed to this evolution. ONE: I let go of the need to constantly prove myself as "ahead of the game," which brought immense relief. As a fashion enthusiast drawn to emerging designers, I used to feel pressured to be an early adopter of every trend and brand that caught my eye. Now, I've learned to appreciate from a distance & selectively engage with trends, finding satisfaction in observing their (disgustingly short) cycle without necessarily partaking. TWO: I became more mindful of my spending habits & meticulously evaluated each purchase. I waited months before buying a piece, focusing on sourcing from TRR. Embracing vintage pieces allowed me to view each find as a rare addition to my wardrobe, making the eventual purchase all the more special & personal
I hope O’day’s Ways allows for this same loose guide. Sharing my discoveries isn't about pressuring you to make purchases - it's a platform for me to share my adoration for these items, rather than letting them stockpile in my wishlists. I won’t lie - If a piece resonates with you…and I played a role in helping you acquire that special item…it brings me joy.
