Jasika Nicole Instagram – Tough times on the macro and micro levels call for inspired outfit pairings. Unlike some folks suffering through internal emotional chaos, I don’t find solace in repudiating mascara and wearing pajamas to the grocery store, but rather in steeping myself in whatever beauty I have at my fingertips. It feels like cosplay armoring myself in my autumnal palette and carefully considered textiles when my interior world feels so frozen and untethered, but it must be working because parading around as an aesthete is the closest to my beloved self that I can get, and feeling connection to anything true right now seems a step in the right direction. I was as surprised as anyone when I realized that ice blue and olive green of the same hue intensity would be such a match made in heaven. Doesn’t seem right on paper, but that’s one of my favorite things about artful dressing- you can’t discover the magic without seeing it in real life. Decked out in muted earth tones, I’m working hard to avoid self pity, to express gratitude at every opportunity, and to read inspirational shit (Pema Chodron FTW). Grief is just love with nowhere to go, so we take it one day at a time, we feel our feelings without shame, and we learn how to let it embolden us rather than shrivel us ❤️
