“This year, I de-

cided to narrow

my entire ward-

robe to one small

closet. Funnily

enough, the things

I kept were mostly

the things that

were the oldest.

The things that

speak the most

about who I am. As

my clothes fall

apart, I just patch

them. I love the

idea of wearing

something until

it’s shredded and

falls apart.”

THE TAKEAWAY

These jeans fit so

well that Scully

practically lives in

them. Don’t be

scared to wear your

favorite pieces so

much that they feel

like a second skin.
