Is Shopping a Moral Imperative?
Dear Friend,
Shopping isn’t going to save the world, but it might lift your spirits.
Safety and health are the number one priorities, but, I’m also online ALL DAY, seeking answers, relief from boredom, and searching for comfort. Where I find solace is shopping; it’s where there’s connection, joy, and inspiration. So, I’m developing a new “virtual dressing room” format because the retail world might never be the same again, and we all need our fashion fix.
This article from the NYT’s Vanessa Friedman and subsequent discussion with Man Repeller perfectly encapsulates my current retail mood: I can still shop and not feel guilty!
Here are four ways to do some self-care shopping:
Browse my curated recommendations for tops, pants, shoes, and bags from Moda Operandi. Send me a list of your favorites and I’ll take it from there! Shop directly from my curated store front and all purchases connect back to me.
Shop current collections from Dries Van Noten, Celine and others available at Jeffrey. Contact me directly and I’ll get everything taken care of.
Reach out directly so I can curate specific looks and items in a personal dressing room for you!
Last, I thought this program about brain plasticity in combating depression was SO relevant and important. And I love these 5 apps that can help us all stay CALM. If you want more shopping and notes from me, respond to this email to sign up for my weekly newsletter.
Sheltering in place isn’t fun, but it’s important to find a little joy where we can. Retail therapy never felt so close to saving the world!
Yours in safety, health and fashion,
Margaret
