Building on the notion of "fetishizing what you already own" - I find that taking some time to polish my shoes, clean out and dust bags, de-pill sweaters, brush jackets, and the like at the change of season really reconnects me to my favorite pieces and reminds me of how much I coveted them when I bought them (or happily received them as a gift). It doesn't matter if they really need it - it's just a way to literally get back in touch with the items I own and reimagine how else I can wear them. It's become a seasonal ritual, and I know it's helped me buy fewer new things.
Love this JA!! I was literally just thinking about this too…I think that is where true style comes in…wearing that beloved piece as an everyday throw on!! Using what you have because those pieces are you. We are inundated with BUY MORE and of course we want new but if we are true to our style it’s just going to be kind of the same?!
Love this! And it was just the push I needed to return an impulse buy from last week. ("I'll wear it to the ballet next month" was my excuse, as if I didn't already have a zillion other options.) Thank you!

Great idea. It’s also part of getting back into a new season, assessing what you have already and getting those things ready for wear. Thanks Lisa!

Yes!! It is where true style comes in. Kind of the same is kind of chic! 🤍
