75 Pieces That Survived My Personality and Might Intrigue Yours

The How To Function Gift Guide is here <3

Dec 09, 2025

I almost never share links, but I’m trying something new! Consider this a small excavation of my closet: forty pieces below, seventy-five more in my ShopMy, a map of the things I actually live in. (linked)

I have one governing rule for my wardrobe: if I’m not obsessed with it, it leaves. I’ve learned that a closet is a living thing — it only works when every piece earns its place. I’d rather own fewer items I reach for instinctively than a crowded archive of “maybes.” Even a simple Wolford top has to hold its weight. Clothes, makeup, skincare, the rule applies across the board. I buy what I use. I wear it until it becomes part of my personal mythology. Then I replace it or send it back into the world via resale sites.

Most of what’s in this guide comes straight from my life. A few pieces are vintage. Almost all of them can be found on resale platforms, which is usually where I begin. So don’t feel tethered to these exact links — half the pleasure is spotting the thing in the wild, or finding it on Vestiaire at 40 percent off in suspiciously immaculate condition.

This isn’t a shopping list. It’s a snapshot of the objects that have survived the edit. The inner architecture of my closet-brain. Maybe it will remind you of something you already own, or inspire you to find the version that feels like you.

getting ready for the function,
