I'd have to say, clothes are a definite reflection of my mood. Black is for when I'm feeling fat. But a black dress is a combo of "I feel fat" and I also want to look nice, because black.
Bigger clothes for when I'm bloated, tired and PMSing. Smaller clothes, body-fitting for when I feel confident. Colour for when I'm trying to lift up my mood. Dull colours for when I'm trying to appear earthen or softer, because colours do catch attention, whether we like it or not. I have comfort favourites much like comfort snacks and hope in the same way that my cousins and friends don't judge me for choosing comfort over trying my best, be that in food or clothing.
Oh Athira, I feel this in my soul 😂 Black is the official mood-swing diplomat - somehow both ‘don’t look at me’ and ‘I’m fabulous, thanks for noticing.’ I love how you framed your wardrobe as a comfort menu. We all deserve our snack level outfits without judgement! 💛

This one was very good. I loved the ideas that you used at the workshop.
