Today is January 18, 2019, and that means we’re past the halfway point of Nothing New January! I want to share some of the feelings and thoughts I’ve had this month because, oh boy, have there been a lot of thoughts and feelings.

My Everlane Review

Sweater: vintage (Poshmark) | Jeans: Everlane | Shoes: Louise et Cie (Poshmark) (similar)

I have heard so many good things about Everlane, especially their jeans. So when they were having their Choose What You Pay sale, I placed an order on the last day of 2018 (the day before Nothing New January began LOL) After having worn some of the pieces I’ve ordered, I wanted to share my thoughts on the pieces and Everlane as a brand.

One of my 2019 goals is to reduce the amount of waste I generate. Have you heard of the “waste hierarchy”?

Coffee Chat: Why Thrift?

Vintage silk blazer: Poshmark | Lace cami: Ann Taylor Factory (similar) | Pants: Halogen (Similar) | Booties: Etienne Aigner (Vintage – Similar)

I wanted to start a series called Coffee Chat,where I discuss various topics. They won’t always be fashion-related. The purpose of this series is to simply chat. To start off this series, I wanted to share with you why I shop secondhand via thrifting, consignment, Poshmark, etc.

Why I LOVE Shopping Pre-loved or Second-hand

If you love clothes and shopping like I do (let’s face it – you wouldn’t be here if you didn’t ;P), I wanted to share my tips on how to indulge yourself without making your wallet and bank account cry.
