I have a lot of trouble getting rid of clothes and have had a habit of just buying and hoarding beautiful secondhand pieces and never wearing them. and when I do get rid of them I regret it soooo much like I did a purge within the last year because I had resigned myself to feeling like my body had permanently changed and then lost a ton of weight and am back to the size I used to be š¤¦āāļø
Here are a few items I cannot let go of:
* Comically oversized impractical Surell fox fur earmuffs I got from Poshmark. Theyāre in a more sable color but I had to use this model photo to illustrate how hilariously huge they are Iām obsessed. I only wear them when Iām doing a glamorous look though because they look insane * square toed Rag & Bone cheetah print boots I got on TRR for like $15 when I delusionally thought my shoe size was smaller. they are just slightly too small and I wear them anyway and suffer because they are CUTEā¦ * Rag & Bone fluffy loop knit rabbit hair sweater with gold metallic strands throughout. This is a photo of someoneās from Poshmark that is in like immaculate condition but mine is rattier and the top buttons have fallen off so I always wear it open. my absolute favorite piece itās so versatile and can be dressed up or down * cropped black Rag & Bone (can you see a patternā¦) cashmere sweater and vintage black long slitted velvet skirt I bought at my neighborhood thrift store recently!! My new favorite outfit and these are pieces to hang onto forever

šBecause I already own so little I have a pretty bare-bones minimalistic lifestyle and probably have way less stuff than the average person. I donāt really buy things very often and Iāve always purged my possessions regularly, giving away whatever i didnāt have a need for. Iām kind of against selling things Iāve already bought and used it feels greedy to me.
Iāve tried but I donāt have enough hustle in me to sell on Poshmark or Depop so I recently sent multiple pairs of Rag & Bone shoes and boots to the thrift store (has anyone else had to RECKON WITH your delusional belief that your feet were smaller than they were? I donāt even want to say what size mine are) + lots of gorgeous clothes that no longer fit me because I was convinced that I would never lose enough weight to fit into them again but now that I have Iām like damn I wish I had my clothes back.
Anyway I literally canāt think of one thing I have that I shouldnāt? Maybe the low-cut socks I bought at Costco recently before I remembered that I stopped buying these socks at Costco years ago because they SLIP like CRAZY and Iām filled with rage every time I wear them. But I will probably just stay with them until they fall apart because Iām too cheap to buy more.

šWhen I was a wee twiggy girl approximately aged 16-23 I would just buy whatever I could find at thrift stores that was especially weird or interesting and didnāt have to think about what it looked like because I could just slap things together and look cute and quirky. As Iāve aged Iāve developed a gourmand tendency towards indulgence and, consequently, a figure a little more like Marilyn Monroe (not in the way a lot of women say itāno offense and bless them for living their truthāIām speaking objectively) so my focus is like purely on finding clothes that fit me structurally that have very particular shapes silhouettes and details. Iām also careful about finding clothes that fit within an autumnal color palette to suit my complexion. I generally wonāt buy clothes if theyāre not made of natural fibers and if Iām thrift shopping or on poshmark I keep an eye out for pieces from designers I love. I look for things that fit with my well loved staple items and only buy something if I really love it because I donāt like to have a lot of stuff anymore. I love lush textures and fabrics for winter like velvet and fur

šI have thought about this at length, I fear.
I want to look and feel at ease in my clothes and I shop for clothing very intentionally. For me the rules of outfits are:
- No single-designer looks - Steam/press rarely - No logos (sneakers are the exception) - Always wear at least 1 garment with visible wear or damage - Get dressed intentionally every day - It does not matter how conventionally flattering the look is. I care only about how it makes me feel in my body - Never clean Ur (my) shoes except to keep leather in condition
I shop almost exclusively second hand and in personāI only buy if I would be heartbroken to come back for a garment to find it had passed me by forever. Most pieces I see are effectively one-offs because I treat them this way.
I am attracted to Japanese workwear silhouettes, modular garments, and drama. āMyā colour is the shade precisely between yellow and orange. All my jewelry is gifted. I aim to keep garments until the end of their lives.

My dad teases me about how when I was a little kid, my favorite thing to do when I was on the landline phone with somebodyābe it a relative or one of my best friendsāwas to breathlessly describe the things that were in my bedroom so that they could have a mental picture of everything I loved and chose to surround myself with, and where I sat at that moment in time. Perfectly Imperfect reminds me of that so thanks for always listening and for sharing with me too š
