Yep! You guessed it! I'm back with another New Year Resolution that will probably last a few weeks like in 2015.... Nothing like a 4 year intercession!
Its funny reading through my old posts. I still relate with so much of what I said then and I definitely have the same problems.
Here is the last 4 years in a nutshell:
I really did enjoy STITCHFIX, but quit the subscription after just a few months. It was too expensive for this bargain shopper. FYI. 4 years later I am still frustrated I didn't buy the cocoon cardigan.
I became addicted to THREDUP. Thread Up gave me the motivation I needed to part with my ill-fitting clothes. By sending in bags of clothes, I would get store credit. With that store credit I would buy more clothes.... which would make me want to send another bag in for store credit... Its kind of a "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie" kind of ugly cycle.... but, the goal or PURGING my closet became a real thing. Consider me cleansed.... until....
So whats a girl to do with all that room in her closet!? Fill it back up, of course!
I was able to step away from THREDUP when I had no more clothes I could sacrifice. Plus, over the last few years the payout is currently only giving me back about 33% of what it used to. The last bag I sent in had beautiful, designer clothes... and I literally got $17.00 of credit for it. So, I checked out and am back to donating to Goodwill. Its just simpler and I don't get my heart broken.
Speaking of Goodwill and this addictive personality.... yep, you guessed it. I'm out of control again. I shop once a week and find the most beautiful things. Seriously. Clothes with price tags still on it. Last week I went and there was a freaking SLEW (is that a word?) of BEBE designer suits. 3 PIECE SUITS!!! They were gorgeous. Price tags still on them. I was beyond excited.... until I realized that BEBE's sizes are different than all the other brands. I don't know in what world their size 6 fits a person, but it wasn't close to fitting me-which I found extremely disappointing. So some lucky girl has a brand new beautiful wardrobe and I will do my best to be happy for her.
What I have scored this winter season at Goodwill are beautiful coats.... for $5.00 each. Its really addicting. I have way too many... but I cannot say no to $5.00. My favorite score? A brand new grey wool Rachel Roy jacket. It has a modern look and I cannot imagine how rich the person must be who threw out this perfectly beautiful jacket.... but that's why I go there. Other examples? An American Eagle Bomber Jacket, H&M trench coat, Tommy Hilfiger wool plaid pea coat, Old Navy fur lined suede long jacket, a BEAUTIFUL and very modern looking ivory wool coat, and embarrassingly... many more. My coat closet is FULL! (And this does not include the four I bought during Black Thursday from SHEIN and Nordstrom Rack, lol.)
Since I'm almost positive I am just speaking to myself on this blog - I'm not worried about uploading pics unless you (whoever you may be!! lol) ask for them. But I'm very proud of my new coats!!!
