spring shopping finds

I need to do a post about planning my spring wardrobe because I’ve spent a ton of time on it recently. In working on that, and in shopping for clients, I’ve come across a few items I think are cool.

Pinterest has added a new collage function. It’s not great, but it’s fun to play around with. I even added a few items I recently bought from Poshmark: the blue bag top left, the antisocial butterfly tee right below that, the red birkenstocks, and the blue silk pants bottom right.

As always, a note on these links: many of them are from fast fashion brands and wouldn’t be considered ethical fashion brands by any means. I include those for three reasons: One, often these are the only brands who carry a wide range of sizes. Two, I will always prioritize your mental health and if you need clothes for a changing body quickly, or your body is changing multiple times and you’re having to buy new clothes often, these are good options. Third, not everyone has the financial privilege to be able to spend more on ethically made items. FYI, some of these links are affiliate links and might earn me a small commission if you purchase something through them.

Lastly, I never want to influence you to buy something you hadn’t thought you needed before this. Think about what’s on your shopping list and do your best to be thoughtful about what would add to your life and what would take away before you buy. There are also many ways to add to your wardrobe on a tight budget, and I’ve linked the articles below for some ideas.
