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!

I’ve gotten so used to going makeup-free and purse-free that I see these pictures and think “Where does that fancy bitch think she’s going?!”

Oh wait, it’s me. I’m the fancy bitch and I’m going out to eat (outside) with some other fancy bitches, aka friends, where we will drink fancy cocktails and try to forget how weird the world is for an hour.
