With #fetishcore now trending, you might be wondering how to incorporate one of these unique pieces into your wardrobe. As someone who has been wearing these on the daily for years, I’ve got you!
Whether it’s business casual, casual-casual or a legit social outing, the fashion harness is not as difficult to style as one might think. And because creating outfits and collections is my kind of shit, here’s a quick video of four different looks (reusing pieces of my capsule wardrobe because trying to limit consumption is a vibe).
If the Janet Harness calls to you or you’re interested in checking out some of my other available pieces, please be sure to visit my shop!
Well this past year and a bit has been a RIDE. So many tangents I could run away with but for now I’ll try to stay focused. With all this forced alone time, I’ve been able to reflect.. and to rest. To question what I’ve been doing and why?
What is the end goal?
You could say I’ve been doing shadow work; discovering so many things about myself that I’ve kept buried for a very long time. The overarching theme of my action being to decolonize the way I approach my life. There’s only so much I can do of course because we exist under capitalism.
But what is the furthest I can stretch these confines to live a life that I want; that brings me pleasure.
A podcast that’s been helping me on this journey is The Grind Culture Detox, hosted by Heather Archer. I’m becoming more aware of the limiting beliefs I cling to based on the fact that capitalism and hustle culture can have you feeling that everything is limited; success, resources, happiness. I’m working on noticing when my limiting beliefs have me spiralling and trying to move to more expansive thinking.
Something that’s really stuck with me from episode 2, is when guest Nakia Dillard, describes a moment she experienced at the beach. She’s standing at the edge of the water, hyperfocused on the waves that are close enough to roll in and touch her. After some time she comes to the realization that even the waves far out into the sea are making their way towards her. The ones that she cannot see, wasn’t thinking about and couldn’t even imagine.
This image has stuck with me for the past few days. The idea that just because you cannot see beyond your current situation, doesn’t mean a future doesn’t exist beyond it. I’m not sure where I’m going to ride this wave to yet, but I’m holding on…
To all they boys I thought I loved before… And anyone who has ever believed their intuition is broken – It’s NOT. She just can’t go on existing, unchecked…
Today’s meditation got me thinking about my intuition’s relationship with my romantic relationships… I mostly agree that my intuition has THE BEST intentions, but I’ve realized that she still needs to checked! TRUTH – Intuition helps us make quick, in the moment decisions. But that doesn’t mean that those decisions shouldn’t then be tested over time to either confirm or deny that we’re on the right path.
Social distancing? This introvert is here for it. But I will admit that forced alone time has me questioning why I do the things I do. Like WHY do I HATE phone calls so much? Patience will be tested and myths will be busted…
Zoom calls? Google Hangouts? Social Distancing is legit my lifetime mood so I’m not even bothered. But I will say that enforced alone time is prompting me to question why I do the things I do and while channeling The Happiness Advantage, I’m figuring out how I can ‘fall up’ from these struggles.
Things were going so well… Until they weren’t. ADULTING. This is what we wished for, wasn’t it? Real talk though if we weren’t tested, we wouldn’t grow. So I will accept you shitty times because I know what comes after…
