A capsule wardrobe is a great way to simplify your wardrobe, save money, and reduce your environmental impact.

Darning is caring : First Try

Great, the cashmere jumper I bought from C&A last year and paid a lot of money for has worn through under one arm after wearing it 3 times. In any case, there are 2 huge holes. I used to own linen T-shirts from Esprit, which also got these holes at some point – after more than 10 years ! As I don’t have the money to buy a new one, I now have to get it through the winter somehow. And because it…

Traveling enriches one’s self through the experience of visiting new places, cultures, and cuisines. However, for most of us, while on a packing spree, the most challenging task is to go light with the suitcase and yet in style with the ethnic wear. Ethnic attire is full of vibrant colours and elaborate designs and is highly cross-cultural, holding infinite possibilities of being versatile and travel-friendly if chosen well. Here is how you can pack light and look fabulous in your ethnic wear when traveling.

How to build a capsule accessories collection

Chances are you’ve heard of a capsule wardrobe; you may have even curated one yourself. If not, the general premise of a capsule wardrobe is buying clothing items that can all be worn together and complement other items in your wardrobe seamlessly. For example, buying a staple pair of denim jeans that can be dressed up with a shirt or made to look more casual when paired with an oversized…

I didn't recognize anything too absolutely iconic from this year for VM. But a few pieces did get added to my wishlist while looking through them. This collection would make for a great capsule wardrobe!

Socialite series: Manufacturing your Personality

So you want to get into high society. I can give you a guideline as to how you can do that. 

I was born in high society, in India. I know how these systems work. Even across cultures, they’re quite similar. I know some German, Asian, American high society people. Certain things are very similar across continents. 

You can permanently secure your position by two ways: marriage, or by becoming somebody. 

In Indian high society, there’s two kinds of people: those who have lineage, and those who are rich. 

Those who have lineage are those (mostly bankrupt) Maharajas, artists, singers, musicians, poets for generations - it’s an art form or royalty handed down to their children. They have ✨culture, a legacy✨ that can only be obtained by birth. They want to mingle with the business rich so that they get access to the opportunities they need for their livelihoods. 

The business rich can be new or old money. It doesn’t matter. Their businesses are family businesses. They have money, but may lack class. Don’t be mistaken that only new money can be “tacky” - I know plenty of influential, old money families who are equally classless and tacky. 

They want to mingle with the lineage crowd because they need that ✨culture✨ to be seen as someone. They want to be associated with them, to improve their reputations. By connecting to the artistic and musical world, it shows that they have class and persona. 

Both groups, as you see, need each other. You may ask - can’t there be families where there’s both?

Yes there can. But that is not common. 

Let’s say you take the route of dating someone who is of high society, and are hoping to convert that into marriage. I’ll be very honest with you - you have to seriously stand out for Asian and Middle Eastern high society families to accept you if you lack both lineage and money. 

You need to have a strong educational background - you need to go to a great college or masters, or whatever - otherwise this is really not going to happen. This is requirement number 1. If you don’t have this, don’t even bother reading the rest. 

And in Asian and ME families, remember one thing. Marriages are between families, NOT individuals. You have to impress the family, the family’s friends, their maids and barbers and god knows who else. 

And here are Cherry’s insider tips, just for you, to fit right in. If you fit in comfortably, it makes your life and everyone else’s life easier. 

Extrovert tendencies 

don’t be intimidated by people, don’t be shy or awkward 

It’s better to mix in being a combination of “social + slightly bored” like “it’s nice to meet you, but I wouldn’t die to be here.” 

Be open without jumping around like a Disney kid. Being “overexcited” or jumpy, smiling and laughing at just about everything comes across as weird in some cultures, IF that’s not how you genuinely are. That might work in the US, but not everywhere else. 

If I had to very simply define an extrovert - approach new people with ease, learn the art of small talk and be a good listener. 

Confident 

have a sense of self: career, hobbies, likes or dislikes, experiences

Be a multi faceted person. Do things that YOU like. If you like reading Japanese literature and collecting quartz, great! That’s your thing! 

Good communication skills

articulate, small talk abilities, good listener, curious, engaging

be able to tell little stories about yourself without giving everything away 

Well dressed 

do an image consultation for your colours, understand your body shape type and find a style that works for you

Create a capsule wardrobe that is timeless 

Remember - modesty is ALWAYS the best idea for any event. 

Posture - stand up straight, be able to walk in heels, sit without slouching

if you don’t know how to walk in heels, learn to. Practice it. 

Sit up straight, do some yoga or something for good posture 

Maintenance- good skin, hair, fit body, skin, nails, teeth; good hygiene; smell good 

hygiene comes first. Shower regularly, wash your hair as often as needed. 

Put on perfume. 

Find a make up style that works for you. Again, this takes practice. It took me years to figure out what kind of eyeliner works on my eyes and that bronzer doesn’t suit me at all. Crazy make up, unnatural hair colours, visible tattoos or piercings will not sit well in these societies. 

Etiquette 

dining etiquette- learn how to eat properly. This is not just for white culture but for other cultures as well. Understand broadly how popular cultures etiquettes work - Japanese eating etiquettes, European fork and knife etiquette, Korean drinking etiquette, Indian and Middle Eastern etiquette, etc. 

giving appropriate gifts to the host - bottle of wine or flowers 

Learn thank you etiquette- shoot a text message to the host thanking them for the event 

Intelligence

Show that you have some sort of a personality. 

Stay updated with current affairs

know your line of work and the relevant people (top companies, CEOs, etc), trends happening in your industry 

Be open to learning new things  

Put together

have a routine, show some form of discipline. 

This can be done by committing to something long term, such as healthy habits - exercise, reading, waking up early. 

Keep a watch on what you say 

people, especially women, who come across as bratty are seen as a big no no and can come across as exhausting and blood sucking. Zip it. 

Don’t talk about your failures, vulnerabilities, mistakes or mishaps. That’s confidential. 

Don’t complain or be snotty or a potty mouth. 

Do not put other people down in front of people who are not your absolute close friends. 

Poise (this is for your mental health and wellbeing)

Don’t be over eager. Being overly friendly can be seen as submissiveness. 

You’re overly friendly with someone because you want to be accepted by them. Acceptance only happens when you’re familiar with one another. When you become too familiar, it becomes a breeding ground for disrespect. Boundaries get crossed easily. 

Body language

practice practice and practice. 

Video yourself and have a fake conversation with someone. Or maybe FaceTime a friend and record yourself and see how you react to things. 

I used to watch those “try not to laugh/ get angry/ cry” videos to maintain a strong facial expression at all times. Not everyone deserves to see you vulnerable. 

Social media 

Take. Shit. Down. 

Go private if you don’t make money of social media. You’re perceived as more mysterious if you’re a private account. 

Remember, even if you’re private, it doesn’t mean that your pictures aren’t being shared. Someone’s taken a screenshot at some point for SURE or shown your account to someone else. Don’t give anyone anything to talk about. 

Don’t upload every second of every day. 

Don’t upload anything questionable- your break ups, your new boyfriend, girls nights, clubbing, your latest shopping spree etc etc. Keep things halal. Think of it this way - if your boss were to see those photos, how would you feel?

Overexposing yourself on social media comes across as desperate for attention. Limit that.

Things you learned about fashion?

If you want to look good, you have to be willing to invest in quality clothing. This doesn’t mean that you have to spend thousands and thousands, but it does mean that you’ll have to stop shopping at Shein. I have so many cute things from Target, Walmart, and Old Navy, and they were a bit more of an investment, but these stores have frequent sales and the quality is better, so you’ll have to replace things less often. Look for sales, shop the clearance rack, thrift, and stick to a budget, but don’t fill your closet with fast fashion.

 

Your clothing needs to fit and be comfortable. If you want to look good, then you have to feel good; your bra can’t be digging into your back, your pants can’t be falling down, and you shouldn’t be wearing things that are obviously too small or too large. If this means buying tall pants instead of regular-fit pants, getting your clothing tailored to fit your body, or just buying the right size, then so be it. You have to wear the clothes; you can’t be afraid of them.

 

Dressing appropriately is extremely important. Contrary to popular belief, you can be totally overdressed for an event or regular every day life, and that’s not necessarily a good thing. I used to dress exactly the way I wanted to dress to events that didn’t call for the level of formality I was exhibiting, and I didn’t look bad; I just stuck out like a sore thumb. There’s no dress code for every day life, but you should learn how to read the dress code for each of the situations and scenarios you’re setting yourself up to enter.

 

Capsule wardrobes don’t work for everyone, and that’s alright. I hate reading fashion posts that push for only having the bare minimum because some of us enjoy having more. Am I encouraging rampant overconsumption and buying things just because you can? Absolutely not. What I’m saying is that it’s okay to do your own thing and find what works best for you and your lifestyle. I don’t buy every single piece from the new collections that drop at the stores I love, but I do treat myself to one or two. You don’t have to limit yourself to the minimum if you don’t want to, but you also don’t have to buy everything. There’s a medium; you have to find your medium and stick to it.

 

Your style is part of your aesthetic. I looked my worst when I didn’t know how to dress myself, didn’t know how to style my hair or do my makeup, and didn’t know how to buy things that flattered me. I’m able to overaccessorize to my heart’s content, wear any color that flatters me, and pull outfits together without having to think twice because I buy things that I know suit me and suit each other. The things I buy reflect the image of myself I have in my mind; I make sure that they’re high quality and aesthetically pleasing, and I make sure that they fit in with the bigger picture that I’m trying to create.

Flufftober Day 29. Time Capsule

It wasn't fair, Michael thought to himself as he surveyed the space beyond his closet door. It really wasn't fair that adding more outfits to his wardrobe took up more space, instead of the closet expanding infinitely to accommodate his acquisitions. That would certainly be more convenient, but since he was currently unable to alter reality, Michael mentally resigned himself to the task at hand. With a sigh he reached deep into the closet, pulling out handfuls of hangers and clothes and tossing them on the bed. 

Gerry looked up from his mobile as several jumpers landed on him, raising an eyebrow as more clothes followed. "Spring cleaning?" he asked.

"Yeah," Michael groaned, tossing more clothes on the bed. He paused, then picked up one of the vests from the pile, squinting at it critically. It was knit, but not one he had made, and the color was an unpleasant in-between shade of blue that really wasn't speaking to him. "Would you want this?" he asked Gerry, waving it in his direction. 

"Don't think that'd fit me," Gerry responded, shrugging dismissively. "Not my style either."

Michael wrinkled his nose and considered the vest again, trying to decide if it was worth keeping. "Nope," he finally decided, pulling it from the hanger and tossing it towards the bedroom door. "So long."

"Not even gonna try it on?" Gerry asked curiously, sitting up to watch as Michael turned back to the closet for more clothes.

"Nope," he answered. "I'm trying to be more…what's the word? Divisive?"

"Decisive?"

"That, yeah. If I don't like how it looks and I haven't worn it for a year, I'm not keeping it." Michael separated another jumper from the pile and threw it towards the donation pile without another glance. "Not to mention I've put on a bit of weight recently, thanks to a certain someone," he snipped, sending Gerry a look.

"Really? I haven't noticed," Gerry told him, crawling over to the pile on the bed. "I don't think I've seen you in some of these in ages."

"Exactly. These are the things I wore when I first started at the Institute, and was trying to make an impression." Michael smiled to himself, carrying the last set over to the bed. "Now I just don't care."

"You've found your style," Gerry confirmed, reaching out to wrap his arms around Michael's middle. Michael tilted his head down and watched as Gerry pressed his face into his abdomen, rubbing into the soft bulge of fat that he'd grown over the past year. "Hmm," Gerry groaned, sounding incredibly content. "Maybe you have gained weight." His hands slipped down and squeezed his arse, making Michael squeak. "Bit more of a handful here."

"Stop it," Michael whined, feeling his cheeks burning. "It's your fault."

"It's my fault there's more of my boyfriend to love," Gerry chuckled, smooching a loud kiss right above Michael's navel and sending delight pinging through his body. "How terrible."

"Okay," Michael giggled, ruffling his hands through Gerry's hair. "You've made your point, I don't feel bad about getting fat now." He hadn't been very bothered by that in the first place, more than happy to have his sharp edges softened and be well taken care of by his lover. "Let me go now, you menace. I have a lot of clothes to try on."

"And I shall be the judge of your fashion show," Gerry declared, falling back on the bed and watching as Michael shed his top. "Can we do my closet next?"

"Probably a good idea," Michael agreed, muffled by the jumper halfway over his head. It was going to be a lot of work to thin his clothing collection, and Gerry's, but it would be far more enjoyable with each other's company.

They know, but they can’t do anything about it. She needs to make money somehow and she wrecked all other money-making avenues.

If it won't be too much of a hassle, please can you explain why you say she has wrecked her money making avenues?

Let’s turn the clock back to 2018, when they were planning Megxit. She was a relatively youthful actress with a royal husband, a feminist reputation and a semi-successful blog. She had contributed essays to magazines and anthologies, organized a best-selling charity cookbook, and edited Vogue. She was a decent public speaker and had hosted several successful forum events. She also had a strong fashion viewpoint and reputation thanks to the Rachel Zane character and her royal wardrobe. Plus she had a charity capsule collection and a solid merching rep under her belt.

Yes, most of those achievement were exaggerated (the blog/public speaking), other people’s work (cookbook, essay collection), or thinly veiled disasters (Vogue, capsule collections), but it was still a good resume. A lot of Hollywood achievements are equally fake or exaggerated, so I don’t think that would put anyone off.

So she had something to build on when she left. But did she actually build on that resume after Megxit? Heck no.

The first obvious money-making avenue was fashion. That’s how she was making money before the engagement and she could have returned to that. She could have built on that in Hollywood, but she didn’t attend fashion shows or galas and she didn’t pursue relationships with any new designers. She didn’t even try. She wore yog pants, shorts, palazzo pants and her floppy Panama hat. The style she chose was very “basic beach bitch” which is definitely not fashion.

So scratch high fashion. She still had writing to pursue. She could have done another charity cookbook to build a wellness brand, or another feminist anthology (with freaking Gloria Steinman!) to build a writing brand. But what did she do instead? A children’s book about fathers. She also did a miscarriage essay. She could try to pitch a magazine idea (a la Drew Barrymore) but no one is going to bite because her Vogue issue was terrible.

So so much for writing. There was still her forum experience which seemed like a good match for podcasting. She could have done any podcast topic in the world, but she decided to interview celebrities and bitch about her press coverage. Okay, so much for podcasting. Archetypes wrecked not only her podcasting career but also any change she had at a talk show or View-style show because she was such a disaster at it.

How about acting? She’s not accepting any offers and her own attempt at voice work was not a success. Maybe a reality show? Not really because the candid segments of the Meghan and Harry documentary were frankly terrible.

That’s what I mean when I say she wrecked all her other options. This is why she’s now pitching for a game show or rom com production.

[mollyrolls]

hello!! i was wondering what are some stc!y/n fashion staples

I GOT A STYLE GUIDE REQUEST!!!! IVE MADE IT!!!!!!!

i saw this and immediately got to work so here we go

𖦹 when she's working, the normal fits don't cut it so its a lot of baggier pants and graphic tees

𖦹 graphic tees are sometimes band shirts but only if they're a very obscure band so she doesn't have to deal with 'name 5 songs', goofy shirts that only she finds funny, and cool art. she has one bleach painted shirt of all the lost planet characters that she rarely wears bc she doesn't want to ruin it.

𖦹 the pants are comfort and mobility over anything. vintage baggy jeans are a staple. ink stains are common.

𖦹 big fan of sweaters. loves an oversized one that she can fit over anything, but also has a fair amount of cropped ones

𖦹 when she's free, a huge skirt wearer. none of them are simple though, even her capsule wardrobe black skirt has some interesting texture or shape. this is the one thing she really learned from art school

𖦹 limited selection of shoes. she's got her well loved converse that she'll never part with even if they're falling off her feet, some versatile chunky shoes, and the freak ass demonias she bought on a whim

𖦹 the most impressive leather jacket collection you've ever seen. rarely caught without one

𖦹 accessories wise, she's got a mean jewelry stack. frequently wears belts but they have to have some kind of cool buckle. will be caught dead before she wears a grommet belt

𖦹 ok extra shit i couldn't categorize elsewhere. likes slip dresses, cool coverups like lace or flannel, often rocking tights, her dingy little headphones, cool bags. lots of layering and texture bc her color palette is limited
