This is so relatable! I love clothes and one might say I’m “extra” when it comes to style at times. I love colorful pieces, pattern mixing and funky shoes.

On a daily basis I’m in a rotation of sweats or very loose/stretchy comfy jeans and a crew neck sweatshirt or tee. Clothing can be so uncomfortable and restrictive to my body, especially on higher symptom days or when I’m in a flare. I also just don’t have the energy to put fun things together unless I have a reason and can take time to plan ahead.

I'm so happy this resonated with you, but sad you go through this too. Thanks for sharing your experience with clothes. I think it's important to cherish the moments we do dress up and feel ourselves. :)

fashion has been a major way I cope with chronic illness - I made an instagram (@chronicallycutefits) where I talk about it because of how meaningful developing my personal style through illness has been.

appreciate this post and your fits!

I have a ‘work uniform’ which is about 3 outfits on rotation - but it’s uncomfortable. I get tired and too hot. Working from home I don’t change out of my pyjamas most days, otherwise it’s just another step in the way of me getting stuff done.
