Welcome to Ode, a newsletter about shopping with intention and building a fulfilling wardrobe.
Hi! I’m Jenny, a writer and designer in the NYC area. I started Ode to share my experiences and learnings in slow consumption as well as honest product recommendations without the noise of ads/sponsorships rampant on social media.
I’m petite in size, skew minimal (but still fun) in taste, and value well-designed, high-quality products that I can love for a long time. On Ode, I’ll be sharing:
Tips and motivation to buy less, buy better — especially clothes
Styling ideas based on a lean, versatile wardrobe
Candid thoughts on lifestyle brands/products, focusing on the truly good stuff
For a taste of what I do here, check out some of my favorite posts so far:
Learnings from keeping a Wardrobe Tracker for 10 years…
An ode to fancy packaging…
The difference between “photo-op” and “photo-ready” dressing and why it matters for slow style…
A toast to my wedding season MVP…
Mindfully shopping for everyday jewelry…
The case for dressing by color.

Ode is something I want to be working on for the long haul. If you’d like to support this project in a bigger way, consider becoming a paid subscriber and stay tuned for more!
Hope to see you around 😊
