Every Second Shopping
In a world of online shopping, endless love for the latest, but a deep desire for comfort, too, I find a gem. Not really hidden to be honest, because it’s been there for a while, yet I never considered it to be my “fashion destination”, until I did…
Not to sound ridiculous, but it is really a love story: for the longest time, and still do, I dreaded the idea of finding time to go shopping. I truly don’t find joy in going to a store, on my day off, where it is – as it always proves to be in NYC – mega packed. I’m a person who needs to shop in their own space, without a store manager hovering behind me asking me – of course with the best intentions – if I need anything. I’m a big girl, I will ask you if I need something, thank you.
I don’t mean this to sound rude, and I know they are just doing their job, but the truth is, it takes away from the shopping experience for me. I like peace and quiet, and above all convenience.
Speaking of wardrobe staples, this summer I stocked up on white tees and tank tops – see one I’m wearing in this post. They are the perfect transitional pieces to use when its beginning to get cold in NYC. Just layer a knit over your shoulders or a classic denim jacket with an all-white look.
Another thing that is literally the best deal is athleisure wear. I’m not saying workout clothes, because truth is, I don’t really work out in them, I wear them just on regular moments of the day. Here combined with heels and my latest poplin love of orange for the warmer fall days and with trousers and a knit for cooler days.
What I’m trying to say is that we have to rethink our shopping strategy, broaden our horizon, and look beyond what we know.
