On Instagram there’s this hashtag, #stickofbutter. It’s for when you’re wearing head-to-toe cream/beige. I’ve never had the occasion to use it because it’s rare that I wear all neutrals, especially light ones. I’m still not sure this counts…with the tan sweater, does that make it browned butter? Well, brown butter sauce is delicious, so I’m going to say this is is better than a regular old #stickofbutter.

These pants BTW are made from recycled fishing nets and are super comfy and surprisingly warm.

Remember purses? Some people call them handbags? They were those things that would hold your crap when you used to do things outside your house every day.

These days I get to use a purse a few times a month. So when I had a hair appointment recently I used it as an excuse to bust out my new (to me) Rebecca Minkoff bag that I got secondhand on The RealReal. Not exactly a versatile, go-with-anything bag, but that’s why I’m so glad I’ve discovered the joy of secondhand shopping — I can still experiment and buy funkier stuff sometimes, but without adding new waste. And as long as I take care of what I have, if I get tired of it, I can put it back on the secondhand market for someone else to enjoy.

Have I inspired you try shopping secondhand this year? Please comment and let me know so I can feel like I accomplished something decent in 2020!
