A Note on Noticing

Why I document the style of daily life

I’ve always loved clothes, but I didn’t always document them.

For a long time, I felt unsure about sharing what I was wearing. I don’t buy much. I wear the same pieces on repeat. Most of my wardrobe comes from Alpha60, where I work. I worried it wasn’t varied enough, or interesting enough.

But over time, I started paying attention.

I noticed how often I reached for the same coat. How socks could change the shape of a shoe. How memory settled into a garment the more it was worn. I began drawing what I wore, and writing small notes about what I saw, felt, or noticed along the way.

That’s how this project began.

Now I document what I wear, what I notice, and what I carry, in my wardrobe, in my hands, in my memory. I write Styling Side Notes, small styling observations from daily life. I log Wardrobe Reports to reflect on the pieces I live in and the logic behind my outfits. I write Cultural Notes on matcha, magazine stacks, handwritten signs. I draw receipts, shoes I didn’t buy, colour palettes I want to remember.

This isn’t a blog about trends or newness. It’s not really about fashion in the traditional sense.
It’s about noticing.
About memory.
About meaning.
And the emotional texture of daily style.

This is my record of what I wore, what I saw, and what I almost missed.
