Native speaker’s answer

Rebecca

"My thing" can be understood in this context as meaning something similar to "my interest." "Whatever got me to my wardrobe the quickest" indicates his eagerness to buy new clothes, showing that the speaker is passionate about fashion. Thus, we can understand the sentence to mean that rather than working at a law firm as his mom wants, Emery is more interested in fashion. This is probably why he has gotten a job at a popular clothing store.
