Discovering Your Style + Dopamine Decorating

I always talk about how style can be soooo many things:

healing, pleasure, creativity, self-expression, gender euphoria, vulnerability, reclamation, self-care, self-love, play, power, protection, metamorphosis

You name it! Style can be whatever you want it to be.

& as we change, so will our style. Discovering our style, again, can be overwhelming, confusing, & just, a lot. Here are a few tips for finding your style ✨

💞 Make a vision board & note any repeating elements

💗 Check out your closet. What works & why? Is it the color? Does the fit make you feel confident? Do you love the texture of the fabric?

💕 Make a list of what you like (or think you might like) & a NOPE list. Add to & edit these lists as you try more things out.

💘 Think about how you want to feel when you get dressed. Using backward design, identify what might help you feel those desired emotions.

💖 Start small! style is an ongoing adventure & iterative practice. Find ways to make the process pleasurable & fun! I'm an Aries & i love turning it into a game + challenge.

Speaking of style, i made a new zine last night! DOPAMINE DECORATING is a collection of decorating ideas, compiled to support you in creating a home that is bright, inspiring, & uplifting. I’ve made it available as both a digital download & a full-color print zine for you!
