This post is my way of letting you know I failed at not buying any clothing for a year. But HOW FABULOUS is this jacket?! I was doing so well at avoiding thrift stores until I promised to help a friend with a fashion project . . . and the rest is history. Even if I counted this as an accessory to make myself feel better, it wouldn’t matter because I found an incredible vintage dress that day, too!

I read this post by Georgina Swan about cost per wear and it couldn’t have come at a better time. By no means do I spend tons of money on clothes only to wear them once, but I am guilty of buying pieces I love in the dressing room only to get home and have complete “what was I thinking moments?” where I realize I have nothing to wear said piece with. So here’s to focusing on better quality items with timeless fits that I can stretch further than my current wardrobe! Do you have any shopping habits you’re trying to change?
