Clothes

Specific pieces of note:

• Outlier Dreamweight Normies – I wear these almost exclusively. Lightweight and breathable. Performs well in heat and humidity. It’ll also shrug off a drizzle like it’s nothing.
• Outlier Futuregliders – Has a drape with character. Love the silhouette.

Other brands I like:

• 3EIGHTH – Their pieces sit somewhere between feminine and masculine. Fits the androgynous look I’m going for lately.
• In Good Company – Their menswear is alright, but the women’s line is where it’s at.
• Reckless Ericka – Lots of pretty prints, but only in feminine styles.
• SABRINAGOH – Architectural designs. Love the drape on their pieces.
• Our Barehands – Linen, mostly made-to-order, customizations available.

Things I want to do but might never get around to

My ADHD brain prevents me from sticking with a hobby for long.

• Write and publish a novel(la).
• Get good enough at a craft to the point where I’d be comfortable selling what I make.
• Learn to play the piano, but I’d settle for just the harmonica.
