New in...first clothing purchase since 2019!

 Hi guys! If you've been reading my blog for awhile, then you know that 2020 was my no-buy year for clothes/shoes and accessories. Was it a success? 

Well...as you can guess from the title of this post, it was! Wut?!?! I literally didn't buy any stuff to wear (except my husband did buy me a beanie but I don't count that coz it's a hat and I didn't buy it...LOLZ)!

(I do know that the lockdown because of COVID made this easier, but still....)

Anyhoo....I am not doing that this year anymore, but I will also not buy as much clothes and such items since I know for sure now that I really don't need new stuff (it's always just a "want", you know?)

I did finally buy two items because I'm a huge Haruki Murakami and Jean-Michel Basquiat fan!

UNIQLO shirts (Murakami UT shirt and Basquiat x WB UT shirt)

1Q84 is one of my fave novels!


Have you bought anything lately?

Well done you did really well! I like the new t-shirts. I've decided this year I'm not buying any new t-shirts, I still have tagged ones in my cupboard from last year that I haven't worn, so I really need to have some self control. :D

I try to buy less. Stay out of the store and even sites. Actually, I bought a couple of tunics at CVS (of all places) to wear to work. They are basically dresses. Our director really dictates what we wear at the library. We might as well be nuns. Plenty of my old shirts became masks as well. I used to enjoy thrifting, but I haven't done that this past year either. Awesome t-shirts!

I'm so impressed you made it a year! While I definitely spent less in lockdown on fashion I still did buy things - it will be interesting to see what happens now we are in lockdown again, may finally slow down my spending, this year, haha!

Hope your week is off to a good start! :)

I think it is AMAZING that you went a whole year without buying any new clothes. That is a huge accomplishment! I think COVID made me realize how much stuff I actually do have. I've cut back enormously on my spending habits (partly because I don't go out) but still...no buy for 2020?? You are incredible. I love the thoughtful new additions to your wardrobe! They look fabulous!

Such cool tees! Congratulations Emmy! Good for you :) With the pandemic, I cut down on fashion and beauty shopping big time. Our money went to food or home items and we saved so much, we were able to increase our charitable giving which was great. I'm taking that energy right into this year ;D

Here are some recent shots taken with my Pentax K1000 film camera. I decided to mail my films and have them developed at Downtown Camera , and oh my gosh, you guys! Such a big difference with how they turned out. So so happy, and will be sending all my 35mm films to them from now on. (All these shots were how they were sent to me...no editing. Used Fujifilm ISO200 films.)

The latest item I finished knitting: the Waiting For Rain shawl:) Love how this turned out, you guys:) The yarn was really lovely to work with (Kaleidoscope) and the pattern was easy to follow. Now that it's getting colder again, a knitted shawl is always handy to have:D It's just the right length, and it sits nicely on the shoulders. Waiting For Rain shawl by Sylvia McFadden, worn with my old Rainbow Bar&Grill shirt and UNIQLO pants In progress: Blocking:

I know a lot of people don't like wearing leggings as pants. I'm not one of those people. (I do have a rule that the top has to be long enough to cover your butt. Otherwise, I don't know what you're trying to advertise....you know what I'm saying?) old sweater from Hot Topic and leggings from Aritzia, Vans slip ons Are you a leggings fan?
