Your ADHD Besties 37. ADHD & clothing: simplifying your wardrobe to reduce decision fatigue
Hi bestiesssss
This week Tara will apparently do anything for a Dorset accent and Grace is asking for advice on whether she needs new beauty products, however the only answer she will accept is a resounding and supportive yes. We have a lot of fun introducing our new segment 🫠 RSD corner 🫠 where an RSD shared is an RSD halved.
A lovely listener sent us an email with some recommendations including:
We discuss ADHD stimming (self stimulatory behaviour), self soothing with ADHD and pharmacogenomic testing a type of genetic analysis that looks at an individual's DNA to predict how they will respond to certain medications and potential side effects or a particular dosage.
✨ RECS:
Tara: (pre-rec*) Kiss Impress press on nails 💅
Grace: Vista HD wall Projector 📽️
💌 DILEMMA OF THE WEEK: Karen asks "I feel like I use up so much mental energy choosing clothes every day and I need your help with organization and gamification"
We LOVE this question, and cover:
✔️ Shortcuts for choosing outfits easily
✔️ Apps for styling and cataloguing outfits
✔️ Photo guides for daily outfit inspiration
✔️ Demand avoidance around outfit choices
✔️ Balancing comfort, style, and personality in clothing
✔️ Style versus fashion: What’s the difference?
✔️ Creating a ‘uniform’ for different occasions (casual, corporate, special events)
✔️ Allison Bornstein’s 3-word method for describing your style (practical, aspirational, emotional)
✔️ Why seasonal wardrobes & de-cluttering are essential for ADHD/AuDHD brains
✔️ Organizing wardrobes in a way that's neuro-affirming for ND brains
Ireggy Seggy: The dreaded PIG in the middle, where in true ADHD fashion Grace forgets what game we’re playing and zones out (we’re so sorry guys) then tells Tara she's fired from the podcast when the dysregulation catches up with her 🫠
Don't forget to: SEND US YOUR 3 WORDS TO DESCRIBE YOUR STYLE!
Love youuu and don't RSD!
