2/22 - The thrift store was a bad idea for 2025.

 Just a small yap today as I started to briefly go through my closet and decide if I was willing to remove some items before more come in eventually once it stops snowing. Please make it stop snowing. We're about to get a nor'easter... AUGH!!!

I think when it came to the largest mistake in buying my wardrobe in 2025, it was actually going to the local thrift store and buying things that were semi-cute and realizing it would never work.

It's much cheaper than online, and I would get that instant dopamine hit, but then I would realize I don't even like the item when I get home!! Most of my thrift stores are very US based, so the cuts of dresses and the patterns just... are not cute. I've learned a lot of the clothing I really like just isn't from the US thrift stores.

I will say I do enjoy the jewelry from the thrift stores, but I have to limit myself there too because I do have enough jewelry lol... Shoes are also good, but I own so many now I really covered all my bases for owning shoes.

Now... do I regret my secondhand purchases from Japan? Some of them yes, as I bought them and then just haven't found the occasion to wear them. I have a few items I really need to go through and consider holding a gal swap meet or something... mayhaps something to host in the summer... many thoughts.
