As a closet maximalist forever trying to be a minimalist, I found myself frustrated and overwhelmed by the $$$ hanging in my closet that found their way off the closet rack and into the real world. And though I have always recommended buying pieces that will last in your wardrobe (that will never change btw), somewhere in the “investment pieces” mindset, I lost the importance of only investing in items that are versatile and wearable for my lifestyle. There can be a great investment pieces that reflects your style, but simply may not be practical for your everyday life. And that’s where I’m at.
Time to be a basic …(well, do I really need to finish that sentence?). You know what I’m getting at. It’s time to get real with our closets and start cashing in on those items that cost us an arm and a leg. On my Poshmark, you will now find my once beloved Zimmerman, Magda Butrym, and even a little Balmain. Even though I still appreciate and adore those brands, these days I’m just not reaching for a super statement floral blouse or an in-your-face branded logo T-shirt. I find it very cringe when people wear items just to flex or prove a point. And, I honestly think, people that are doing well, and “winning at life” don’t need that flex to prove anything to the world. They do and wear what they love because THEY love it. As each ready-to-wear item sells, there is a sense of peace. And I’m not saying I’m selling it all. The leather jackets stay…aside from a bubblegum pink one that looks like it belonged in Grease.
Since purging all the past ridiculous purchases, I have made a few more…primarily from Intermix and Revolve, because I found they had great versatile items that are well made at a contemporary designer price-point, and often less. In the next few posts, I would love to share those with you. What I’m selling…what I’m buying and promoting a healthy fashion mindset, where we can have fun with fashion and everything doesn’t have to be a major investment. And, if I’m honest, buying more modern and lower investment pieces with new silhouettes has made fashion a lot more fun. I could honestly create a capsule collection of my new finds, so plan on a few posts and videos heading your way in regards to that.
If you are looking for some special ready-to-wear pieces, you can of course, shop my Poshmark, and I will link that below.
