It is! It keeps your clothes looking good for longer! I haven't bought clothes in years, I just take care of what I have. Saving the environment ⨠(and money!)
Yeah, I'm on that environmental- and money-saving grind, too. But I may break rank for Uniqlo when we go. I don't really have winter clothes (for real winter), so it'd be nice to have a parka.
Can I ask why you have that Wes Anderson vibe, specifically? I know you mentioned you had to move with just your suits, but none of my suits have ever looked quite like that. It works for you for sure, just curious.
Thank you! Please take it, I feel bad owning more than I need.
All the formalwear is whatever I was given to wear for various events before I became a Liminal—"fashionable, but not too unrelatable", "modern but with a vintage feel", "be appealing to both young and old", "handsome but not in a threatening way", etc. I—or rather, my public image—was basically engineered in a lab to appeal broadly to the widest possible market from my days of being heir to a foodie-but-not-too-foodie empire.
And now I'm [...] not that, and I still have the clothes, and I can't really afford to buy a whole new wardrobe, nor do I really know where to start? I've never really gotten to be my own person, and frankly, it's kind of daunting?
How about you take a stab at a start in Boston? We can make this a fashion reconnaissance trip. You can check out Uniqlo and we can go to other stores with other vibes, because what appeals to me may not appeal to you. And we can people watch so you can get an idea of how different styles/outfits look on different bodies that arenāt mannequin-sized. Re: affordability, we can take pictures of stuff you like and look for cheaper alternatives later?
All of that sounds great! I'm sorry, I really didn't want to make this all about me. I was just going to buy a pack of plain t-shirts and call it a day.
Oh wow, am I the Molly Ringwald to your Ally Sheedy? Am I actually going to give you a bad makeover that will be lambasted by feminist film critics decades later?

Maybe? But I need them to see. Also the suits, but that's just what I had with me when I moved here. Also, I just know how to iron.

If you don't find a parka you like, I'll happily give you one of mine! I'm from the land of real winter!
