"The clothes are really such a huge part of becoming a character"

"With the change in scenery comes a shift in style—most notably for Gomez’s sardonic true crime podcaster Mabel Mora."

Not an especially spoiler-y article, but does contain photos from various episodes in the season.

The design of Only Murders in the Building is such a huge part of the charm of the show, so I'm always willing to gobble up articles like this. Thanks, cupcakeninja!

I’ve always been curious about how she can afford the beautiful clothing and where she stores it when she’s couch surfing. Seems like a giant plot hole to me. Giant!!

As a friend to a couch surfer, who seems to have a fair amount of nice clothing, I can tell you his secret, and possibly hers. He has friends who keep his stuff for him. It's not a plot hole to me.

I was kidding, it’s not a plot hole. Where she sleeps and how she manages her earthly possessions is totally inconsequential. Kattallus has it, how things are designed really does contribute to the charm of the show. I’m always fascinated with the wallpapers and flooring that they choose, actually.

It is such an enormous part! So much so that when we were apartment hunting and I was especially depressed about our options I refused to watch, because I knew that seeing Charles's apartment design would only upset me further.
