what's inspiring me today

I've been a little bored with what's out there

I have been window shopping, mostly online, a LOT lately. I’m spending at least an hour or two every day cycling between Pinterest, The Real Real, Depop, Poshmark, eBay, and ThredUp.

It has felt like I’ve been searching for something that I don’t know how to describe or filter for, but that I’ll know when I see it — you know that feeling? And I haven’t been loving much of what I’ve been seeing. I have all the basics I need (except for those unicorn elastic waist barrel jeans — I’ve ordered some to try), and I’m just bored by what I’m seeing.

After the paywall, a peek into my brain and how I shop, other factors leading to my boredom, dressing for WFH, experience with Rent the Runway, and the two designers that have sparked my interest.
