Wow, that Paul harnden anorak. ❤️🌶️ I often think about this in terms of the different decisions I make and pieces I end up choosing because I shop second hand. There’s a different sense of availability, each piece feels quite special to be found, and it may not have been the piece I would have chosen say I walked into the showroom and could have which ever piece I wanted. This sort of dance with my sense of exerting my control or will as personal style is one that I think opens up an internal conversation and questioning of that very premise. (That my personal style is this neat intention to outcome pipeline that I have complete control over. )
Thanks so much for sharing this, Liz. I love the phrase ‘senses of availability’ and ‘internal conversation’ to describe what’s happening and at stake here - so much of which is beyond our immediate control or conscious deliberation.
