M: I really agree with all of this except I still love their t-shirts, twisted seams and all.
A: Yeah, I'm basically done with Everlane. Mostly. (But YAS TO THE COTTON V T-SHIRT WHICH IS THE BEST FOREVERRRRR.)
M: That last attempt, trying the wide leg pants, that was it for me. I do still like my almost 4 year old cropped trench. And the v-necks are perfect on me.
A: I like my weird boots and I still wear the shit out of both my cashmere sweaters though the older one is definitely better.
M: I wish those had fit me but the sleeves are always too short.
A: I'm just tired of buying a vision that isn't built for my body type.
M: THIIIISSSSSSS.
A: But they always get me, Marianne. I fear they're not done with me yet.
M: The fit just isn't there, for me.
A: Oh, it's not there for me either but I still want to believe.
M: Other than the t-shirts I'm making this my new years resolution.
A: Oh shirtballs. Now I feel like I have to make this my blog resolution.
M: LET'S DO IT TOGETHER.
A: OKAY IF WE MUST.
A: We can still buy Everlane t-shirts, right??
M: ONLY the t-shirts, and no new or weird cuts.
A: Yes ma'am. Our blog resolution: No Everlane*
M: Deal. Ooh I want to make more.
A: Yes! MORE. Can you save me from myself? Give me one pls.
M: Let’s think. What’s your trap? What’s mine?

| I did not buy these. |
A: With makeup it's holding on to products longer than I should. With clothes - I don't even know anymore. Maybe wanting to "upgrade" things I have that are already fine? (See: Madewell Chelsea boots). Wearing current stuff too much and not rotating in my older clothes? Buying stuff because its a good deal rather than because I need it? All of that.
M: Maybe we resolve to do two no-buy months this year? And to clean out our makeup/skin care.
A: Okay! That works for me.
M: Or we could do one month of no-buy and one month where we don't buy anything new, only consignment or secondhand...I don't know.
A: Oh, I like that idea too
M: Okay but the no-buy doesn't apply if we're out of stuff, right? I am out of my face wash. I mean it's just Cerave so not some big deal but I don't want to get in trouble.
A: I think that's fine, I'll add it. Do we need more resolutions? We have:
- No Everlane*
- One No-Buy month (January)
- One secondhand-only month
- Clean out our makeup/skincare
M: What if....what if we did the no buy RIGHT NOW. I have GOT TO STOP LOOKING AT SALES OMFG.
A: ME TOO. PEE ESS there are earrings that match the Soko pendant:
M: Oh I know! But I already have some similar hoops that are sold out so I didn’t include them. I love them though.
A: Oooh, those Madewell hoops are great. And I’m still thinking about your shearling Birkenstocks. I don’t hate the mink color.
M: The mink color is cute!
A: The problem is that Birkenstock is excluded from all discounts and promotions. Also, are we starting the no-buy right now this second? I can't remember.
M: Oh right. Are we? We should. But you need warm feet too.
A: Okay, I do actually need something for my feet I am FREEZING.
M: Maybe we each get ONE get of of jail free card during the no-buy??
A: Please, yes! A no-buy in January with a ONE item allowance. Mine will be shearling clogs because just talking about yours makes me want to die with cold-foot envy.
M: I love it. I am keeping mine in my pocket because I can't think of anything right now.
A: Am I doing the right thing with the color? Apparently the "mink" is similar to the UGG chestnut and not so orange in real life:
A: I am going to order them for science.
M: Yessssssss I am missing mine today. Wearing stupid boots instead.
A: Winter - still the worst.
Our 2017 Blog resolutions:
- No-Buy in January (see the rules above)
- No more Everlane*
- A month** of only buying secondhand
- Clean out our makeup and skincare***
January No-Buy! The rules:
- One Get Out of Jail Free purchase
- Replenishment of existing products is okay
*Except for the plain v-neck tees which are rad
**Month TBD
***Except my Chanel Rivoli lipstick which is, like, 7 years old but they discontinued the color and it’s the perfect red. Hush, Marianne.
Everlane has never been for me. I am super short and their clothes make me look like I'm playing dress up. I am on a beauty buying freeze until further notice with the exception of a makeup remover cleanser. I need to be on a clothing spending freeze, but there's a Madewell top I'm itching to buy.
ReplyDeleteThis is cool - I should join in, I've way overspent in the sales. I even got new glasses because there was a sale of fifty percent off frames. Except for the pair I choose, doh!
