For me, fashion isn’t just about the latest styles; it’s something a bit more. If I’m expecting a hard day, one that requires lot of decision-making, I might wear something that is dark, tough and structured. For some reason, I feel more powerful and put together, as if the outside armor helps me be stronger internally. When I’m exhausted, I like to be cocooned in an oversized sweater because it’s comforting to be enveloped in something soft and warm.
I don’t know where it comes, nature or nurture? That’s why I really love the Invisibilia podcast, which delves into the human psyche. Like so many, I’m obsessed with podcasts. I love to listen to them during while doing errands – particularly when I’m walking somewhere. It’s the perfect time to get lost in a beautiful narrative, laugh at a funny moment, and broaden one’s horizon by peering into another’s story. I also feel that it helps balance out all the terrible/amazing Bravo shows I watch (think Vanderpump Rules, not Housewives :D).
This particular episodes, The Secret Emotional Life of Clothes, follows unintended impact of clothes. They share six, very different stories about humans grappling with the power of clothes.
Take a listen. You just might learn something about yourself or someone else. Tell me what you think.
Invisibilia is a show from NPR. Invisibilia (Latin for invisible things) is about the invisible forces that control human behavior – ideas, beliefs, assumptions and emotions. Co-hosted by Lulu Miller, Hanna Rosin and Alix Spiegel, Invisibilia interweaves narrative storytelling with scientific research that will ultimately make you see your own life differently.
