I have had many types of jobs, and so have every kind of clothing. I also love to snowshoe and walk in extreme cold weather, so I have a lot of sub zero F. Gear. I hate shopping, and I have to buy new clothes as I lost 50 lb in past 9 months.
I am conflicted...warm weather is good cuz it’s way easier to get dressed. Winter in Chicagoland, often everywhere is super overheated, and I have to dress in layers, with summer time clothing my bottom layer. Even at jobs, unless I have an outdoor job, I always have to dress with my sensory for feeling too hot in mind.
My office jobs allow me to wear my vintage Hawaiian shirt collection. Rayon and cottons are cool, comfortable, and bright cheery colorful prints which make me mentally feel great. Cotton pants, jeans, and or cargo looks are great. I am happy I do not have to dress in full business mode anymore.
I dress with comfort in mind, and must wear natural fibers. Even 10% polyester, or synthetics is off limits to me. So is most athletic gear. I also have to wear shoes out of natural materials...vegan “pleather” (synthetic leather)is not an option.
I try to shop thrift stores, and eBay for used clothing as I love high quality well made garments. I rarely shop in regular stores unless I need shoes, strict “business” clothing, or pants. Now that I am not plus sized anymore, my shopping options have once again opened to all kinds of options.
I used to work in the fashion industry, and do enjoy fashion, but now at nearly 62, I could care less. I hate women’s fashions nowadays, as the look is over done, and young women often dress like they are prostitutes, in stilettos, and tight low cut garments. All that makeup is ridiculous. I am into aesexual androgynous looks for my fashion.
