Your Style Philosophy

^I'd start by selecting a few of my favourite pieces from each category (like outerwear, knits, tees, pants, etc) and would put away the rest.

Transitioning to a uniform?

I came to the realization that I have way too much clothes and I needed to size down. I'm thinking of transitioning to a few number of pieces that would reflect my overall aesthetic, and keeping another set of pieces for work-related activities.

Any tips and tricks/dos and don'ts from members who've done the same, i.e. greatly reducing their wardrobe to a few number of pieces?

edit: thanks guys, all great suggestions I'll follow! I'm already decided on a few central items. I'm wondering if I'll regret it on the long run, you know, on that one day where I really wished I wouldn't have sold by bbs double-zip.

That's my point of view on the topic. Who are you to say, what i should post? Telling people what they should do, is not intelligent.

People with 1k posts on forum should get a real life imo. But i don't stalk them in every thread, telling what they should do.

lol. good luck, homes.

1) random idiot: Hey this is important, you should do this!
2) older poster: that is fucking stupid because of x!
3) random idiot: get a life, this isn't important, you post too much!
4) older poster: ...

This happens on every forum about 5 times a day.

If people with 1k posts should get a life, what should people with 31k posts do?

Faust, you lazy stalker! Get a life!

you don't need a lot of cloths in your wardrobe to look good

end of story

Please stop posting. Read more, post less until you have something intelligent to say.

I really like that.

I did, too, until Undercover did a Uniqlo collaboration a year later after slapping that manifesto on each of their garments.

UNDERCOVER / UNDERCOVERISM

I really like that.

I'm in Indiana, where I grew up, for business travel. I was never aware just how homophobic this place is. Growing up, I thought I'd hated it here largely because of the racism and the lack of culture, but it's not just that. I've realized that a large part of my insecurities and anger growing up was a result of the homophobia. I'm not gay but I have characteristics that don't fit into the traditional masculine mould, so I'd constantly hear people talking about gay stereotypes in a disparaging tone like I'm OK with that because I'm straight.

A lot of the clothing I'm drawn to blurs gender lines. Skinny jeans, skirted pants, drapey sweaters, etc. There's so much more aesthetically to women's clothing than men's clothing, so clothing like stuff I find here, it's very liberating. I'm not intending on cross-dressing or being transgender by any means, but certainly having a little more wiggle room in the way I dress is nice.

right here, right now.

Congrats on your 100th post!

[kamsky]

can someone please re-rail this thread.

Though this may well be deemed objectionably reductive: I wear what I enjoy.

I'm not making anything up, although I do admit to not being fully serious either.

1st, you were just looking to stir the pot, 2nd this thread is already off track as has been pointed out and isn't the place to have a long discussion/debate.

My view on nirvana is from the vajrayana school of Buddhism and is closer to true than viewing nirvana as a destination.

My view on awakening is simply based on the view of buddhanature, that everyone has the basic nature as the Buddha, it is just obscured by afflictive emotions. So you already have this greater consciousness you are referring to. This is Buddhism 101.
