When it comes to getting dressed, I have a unique approach that may seem ridiculous to some. I rely on the Tiny Decisions app to select my outfit for the day. Yes, my closet is organized like a rainbow, with each section dedicated to a specific color. I know it may sound contrived, but it has been my routine for a while. However, I recently decided to shake things up and try a different method of putting together an outfit.
Enter my new secret weapon – my Spotify Daylist. For those who are not familiar, it is a feature on Spotify that creates a custom playlist for you based on the time of day and your usual music preferences. All you have to do is search for “Daylist” and let the app do the rest. It updates throughout the day and even varies from day to day. The titles of the playlists are also specific, ranging from “Soul Crushing Relatable Afternoon” to “Obsessed Power Ballad Saturday Afternoon.” The best part? It includes not only your favorite artists but also new and undiscovered tracks that fit your music tastes.
As someone whose aesthetic has always been far from romantic or academia, I never thought I would rely on Taylor Swift or Tate McRae for fashion inspiration. But thanks to my Daylist, I was pleasantly surprised with the results. For a week, I let the first song that came on my Daylist be my outfit inspo, from the lyrics and sound to the genre, artist, and overall vibe. And I stayed true to the process – no cheating allowed.
Now, you may be wondering how this experiment translated into my actual outfits. Well, let me tell you, it was a fun and eye-opening experience. I discovered new combinations and ventured out of my usual style comfort zone. Who knew I could rock a romantic dress inspired by Taylor Swift or a chic academic look inspired by Tate McRae?
If you, like me, feel the need to revamp your wardrobe for the spring season but are lacking inspiration, I highly recommend giving your Spotify Daylist a chance. Trust me, it’s a game-changer. And to make it even easier for you, I have shared my experience and some of the exact pieces I wore during this experiment, in case you want to give them a try.
After all, changing up your style and trying new things can be a great way to refresh yourself for a new season. And what better way to do that than with the help of music, which has the power to evoke different emotions and moods?
So whether it’s dopamine dressing or channeling your favorite “White Lotus” character, let your Spotify Daylist guide your fashion choices. Who knows, you may discover a new side of your style that you never knew existed. And remember, investing in a new piece or two may just open up even more outfit possibilities.
In the end, the way we dress should reflect our true selves and make us feel confident and happy. So don’t be afraid to experiment and let your Daylist be your fashion muse. You never know where it might take you.
