Women in UNIFORME: Heather Andersen
"I am very particular about certain things in my wardrobe: the perfect jacket, the perfect rise on a pant. I have also found myself much more willing to work in a piece that is wacky. I try and wear these like a staple, so the wacky piece becomes the everyday piece. I like to really live in it."

"But now that I’m older, I value higher-quality goods. I don’t feel the need to chase trends and I’m overall more comfortable with my look... Now when I purchase something, it’s because I set out to get it in particular, or because the piece is so striking that I know it’ll bring me joy for years to come."

"I’ve read a little about consumer decision-making and the psychology of happiness and incorporated some findings in my everyday life... I mostly buy one item at a time to maximize the happiness I get out of purchases. There is research showing that happiness relies on the frequency, not the intensity, of the positive input you receive."

"I have found myself shopping less over the last couple of years. I don’t know if it’s because of a larger paradigmatic cultural shift towards sustainability, or because I think my wardrobe is in a pretty good place."
