When: May 22, 2021 // Weather: hot // Real life: Saturday errands and pizza date
I’ve mentioned many a time about how I regularly sell my old clothes to make room for new stuff (although these days, the “new” stuff is often used, so I’m a proud participant in the circular economy).
From time to time friends ask me how I decide what I let go of — I know this is difficult for some people because they’re afraid they’ll get rid of something and then regret it. When I have a garment that I haven’t worn in a while and I think I’m ready to let it move on to its next owner, I make myself wear it one more time. Usually, that confirms that I’ve gotten all the use I want out of it, and I put it in my consignment pile.
But every once in awhile, that “last wear” gets me excited about a piece again. That’s what happened with this top — I thought I was tired of it (admittedly, it was a fast fashion impulse buy a couple years ago), but then I loved this outfit so much I realized I could wear it again with other combos of jeans and flats.
So congrats, random little top! You’re in the “keep” pile for now 🙂
