"I think cultivating a personal style is an art!" 10000% agree! It also makes it difficult as it is no longer 'what am i going to get to cover my body since nakedness is frowned upon' and becomes 'what does this outfit say about who i am as a person and does this represent me to the world correctly?'
stressful!!
I also like the first sign photo. its *chefs kiss*
I also LOVE wearing fully thrifted outfits (ok except shoes bc I have wide feet and have to be a little picky). It is such an art to cultivate a wardrobe you enjoy. And to do it with some sustainability.
Learning to read music is a feat! I played instruments all through school (mainly violin) and I plink away at piano but it's so hard for me to read treble clef for the left hand. That's badass that you are learning! Last weekend I picked up a mandolin I was given a few years ago. It has the same fingering as a violin but it's much more different than I thought it would be. Learning an instrument is so meditative for me-- once I get past frustration of sucking pretty bad for a bit.
Your newsletters are so interesting and relevant! Thank you 😊
Your comment about cultivating a personal wardrobe also resonated with me! I have been thinking a lot about the expectations I set for myself (in life but also in art!) and trying to let go of a *goal* to make tangible art. Instead I’ve been trying to follow the things that bring me pleasure which tends to, I think, have a lot of overlap with art.
Cultivating a personal wardrobe is one. Learning French (via Duolingo) for no reason other than I find the language beautiful is another. Getting some hanging flower baskets to bring some beauty to our falling apart deck is a third. I love the idea of these things being art too ❤️🌸
