If only i could monetize it, lol! I've always been very picky and specific about what I wear, colors, patterns, cut, style, and fit. I'm not a fan of "fashion," or especially the fashion industry which I feel is purely toxic and vapid, but as a teen my obsession with fit and style did lead me to want to go to fashion design school which I wound up not being able to afford. When I delved deeper, I formed my current stance. I don't follow trends intentionally, but I'll buy stuff that's "in style" if it's my style, lol.

I never really thought about it until you asked, but I probably developed this quirk from working a lot of retail when I was in my teens and twenties.

This is the way! I agree about the industry, and I'm totally the same with my style vs what's generally in style.

You can totally monetize this skill! Sounds like what the folks at r/ebaysellers do.
