I just l-o-v-e LOVE when the weather here in Los Angeles is mild. Today my heart skipped a beat to see that it was in the 70’s and sunny. That means I get to wear jeans! Not that I’m going anywhere, or have anyone to impress. I’m sure Stevie won’t even notice, hmph. But I’ve…
You may already know that Tradlands was one of the first “ethical brands” that I ever purchased. It was back in 2015 when they hit my radar. A few months later, I bought a deeply discounted pink chambray shirt. At the time, their pieces were made in the USA, and what really intrigued me was…
There are certain familiar outfits that hold such special memories, you can remember when you bought them or maybe where you wore them and who you were with. Even though most of them are long gone from my closet by now, I have a few favorite stand-outs in my mind. Being 15 and the first…
Add jumpsuits to the list of things that I can’t get enough of. I used to practically buy them in bulk! I’ve changed my habits there, but I like to think I was an early adapter of jumpsuits and rompers. Embracing those toddler vibes the first chance I got. I’ve owned many over the years,…
When I was planning for my summer capsule, I certainly wasn’t anticipating any rainy day weather. We had lots of rain in April, which was kinda torture during those first few weeks of quarantine. No outside play, no walks — just depressing news and depressing weather on top of it all. But once it cleared…
High rise jeans during quarantine? Ew, what am I trying to prove?? It’s okay guys, they’re stretchy! Admittedly not as stretchy as leggings, which I have been wearing A LOT of lately. But just stretchy enough to justify squeezing my butt into them. The nice weather this morning had me feeling a little excited to…
I can’t believe it’s been four years since I’ve attempted a true capsule wardrobe. About five years since I watched the True Cost and really changed my shopping habits. Six years since I finished a year-long shopping diet. To top it off, it’s been so long since I’ve written a blog post, I don’t know…
I don’t think most people will need a loungewear capsule for this time of our lives. But if you have the energy to put one together, I personally found that it gave me a sense of normalcy in a world gone mad. My days are more structured when I get ready in the morning, but…
Impulse shopping. My forever weakness! A couple weeks ago, I had a moment and did some impulse shopping with this jacket. (Saved my thought process to my highlights on Instagram if you missed it). Man, I felt regret and buyer’s remorse almost instantly — not because I didn’t love the jacket, but because I didn’t…
Making a slow buy is something I’m really excited to talk about, because it really shows me that my habits are improving. But I’m also learning that talking about shopping addiction while still making purchases is going to be a real challenge for me! It feels like freakin’ Confession around here. So let me talk…
