Wardrobe as a Manifestation Tool
What I’m wearing this spring and how getting dressed is shifting my energy
Hi friends, happy Thursday!
One of the many things I love about Substack (truly my favorite corner of the internet) is that every week I get to post about what’s lighting me up — it makes content creation feel light, creative, and joy-sparking in a way that IG (lately) has not so much for me. And this week, I’m feeling lit up by classic spring pieces and building out a wardrobe that genuinely makes me feel amazing. Something about a season change really brings this energy out. There is a whole different vibe to waking up in the morning, opening your closet and loving what you see (even if that means there are substantially fewer pieces in there).
As a total side note — as the weather changes I’ve been feeling so much more inclined to sit in a cafe, sip a matcha, perhaps take a call :) and I’ve been loving Radiant Café in the West Village or Interlude in Tribeca. My order: iced matcha latte with unsweetened almond milk, add maple syrup — THIS is the color we are going for!!
I also believe very strongly in dressing like the future version of yourself — the woman you want to be. And I try to channel this often, especially when I just want to be comfortable, but instead of grabbing any old sweatpants, I’ll put on a matching cashmere set and a trench coat and just make it slightly more elevated. Dressing the way that version of me that I aspire to be would. And truly, this is a manifestation tool. Because how you put yourself together shifts your energy — I have felt this substantially over the last year, especially as I’ve curated a smaller, but more intentional wardrobe.
It’s giving comfy, might as well be in my PJs vibes, but put together. Set is LeSet, shoes are The Row & here’s a similar, less expensive option. Matcha order is a Vanilla Zen from Matchaful.
I spoke a lot about curating a less-is-more wardrobe in my (Spring) Cleaning Up My Life post a few weeks ago. But I’ve been feeling very inspired to share more specifically some of the looks I’m putting together this spring with that same approach. My goal (and I used to be the polar opposite of this) is to not feel like every time it’s a new season I need to purchase a whole new wardrobe of the current trends. I’m leaning away from short-lived trends as best I can. The goal is to really look forward to pulling out last year’s pieces each season because they are each so special and good.
