Love this recommendation to lean into content when the urge to shop surfaces. I use Instagram as a fashion mag but your point about speed is spot on, This post made me think back to my 20s when fast fashion wasn’t really a thing. I chose my purchases super carefully but visited stores like the original Barney’s (RIP) like a museum trip. It satisfied my need to see beauty, creativity and innovation. I see now how this was a more sustainable path.

An Unmarried Woman is an awesome movie and the clothing is fantastic. It depicts a time when New York was a far more interesting place.

By the way I have loved all your book, movie recos so am going to hunt down Violet.

Good points! Especially I have found joy from enjoying and consuming fashion content slow and the old fashioned way. I like to keep a thick magazine like Vogue at my table and grab it after dinner while sipping coffee - and just read a couple of articles and admire the pictures. Then I let it be and the next day I can go on a few pages more. So the very same magazine lasts at least a week and I can just leave my phone in another room.
