Why You Need To "Choose Hard" for Good Style & Shopping Habits

Sustain This!

Today, we are exploring the idea of "choosing hard" for better style habits. We compare cheap dopamine—like the quick pleasure from shopping and social media—with expensive dopamine, which comes from more effortful sources. We emphasize the value of shopping our own closets, tackling problem pieces, and putting effort into outfit creation. We also discuss the benefits of a dopamine detox to reset our pleasure levels. Our tips focus on practicing moderation and making thoughtful style choices.
