What an interesting, thoughtful piece this is... And how brave of you to face & delve into it all in your own life. I'm envious, but scared of the process you've described. Isn't that odd? Because I know how hard you've struggled over the last couple of years. I truly admire the way you've coped.

Your insights are so inspiring. My first day of retirement was also the first day of Melbourne’s many Covid lockdowns. My personal style was always dictated by my “work wardrobe”. Now that I no longer need that particular wardrobe, I am also on the road to finding my Misplaced Style. Thank you for giving me a direction. 🙏💕

I love how to tie one’s self-identity and personal narrative into how we express ourselves through our wardrobe. I also very much relate to overspending to appear more put-together than I feel. The mind-body relationship is fascinating and I’m looking to it as well to guide me on my recovery. Thank you for writing this beautiful piece.

Such a beautifully written entry. Thanks for letting the world know what's happening with your life and your thoughts and your body and your self and offering us the chance to think a little harder about ourselves in the same vein. x
