No Pahking

When: July 19, 2021 // Weather: 70 and cloudy // Real life: vacationing in Ogunquit, ME

I TOOK A VACATION! I went somewhere new, sat by the ocean, ate, drank, and only opened my laptop once in a whole week. It was glorious.

If you follow me on Instagram (which you should because my captions are snappy and I never do those annoying reels), you already know all about our trip to Maine to celebrate our 10th anniversary. This was my get-up on our first full day exploring Ogunquit and soaking up the gorgeous views (not this parking lot…I mean pahking lot) despite the clouds.

I highly recommend matching sets for travel. Wear them together one day, then split them up and wear with other basics two other days. Boom, that’s three different outfits without much thought and it conserves room in your suitcase.

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!
