If there was a theme this month it was sequined, cozy, and shoes! I finally found some black OTK boots I like. It only took 3 tries! I got a couple of questions about that when I mentioned I was having some difficulty last month. And the reason is that I am fairly picky about some clothing items. For black boots, I decided I wanted a certain style, height, and material. I also had a price point in mind I didn’t want to go over. So it took a few tries to get it right, particularly the style and material. I really like suede and leather because they wear so nicely over time and last longer, but it was hard for me to find that. My new boots are really comfortable and worth the trouble!
I put in a big order to thredUP when they had a 15% off sale and got a bunch of fun items for no real reason whatsoever other than they caught my eye. I have had credits with them from a collaboration I did with them a couple years ago and from selling some things to them and I haven’t spent it all yet. When you buy things on sale, credits can last a long time! I can’t wait to wear some of those sequined items though!
For next month I need to look at some olive pants. I am finally right about back to my typical size so I’d like to take advantage of year end sales and find a nice pair. I love my burgundy coat so much I am thinking about a grey one and I would like a black crossbody bag. The berry/plum color one I have has been so useful with freeing my hands for a diaper bag and baby carrier I need another option that is more neutral.
I was also wondering if I should continue to do these posts. I have done them for years, but they don’t seem to get as many comments or clicks. Do you find them interesting? Is there anything I should change about them in order to make them more useful or beneficial? Please let me know! I am always looking to improve my content!
