If you have, by some miracle, missed it (I feel like I mention this in every single post so if you have missed it I'm glad) I am doing a no-buy year. I'm not buying any clothes/etc., save for the one seasonal/quarterly item I am permitting myself to buy (full details here.)
Spring is around the corner (if not already here) so I'm due a little pick-me-up, but honestly, this challenge is making me seriously overthink every shopping decision (as was the idea.) Do I take advantage of seasonal sales to buy something more Winter-y? Can I get as much wear out of shoes as a clothing item? Do I choose something that will transition well into Summer? Is a swimsuit a good choice? Or do I fully go for it by investing in a Spring 2019 trend?? I feel kinda paralyzed!
Anyway here are all the ideas of what might be the one item I purchase this Spring.
Also - before anyone comes for me: I am NOT a graphic designer, okay?!
- This wide leg cut is everywhere right now & could be a v trendy update to my pants game. But part of me is wondering if they will look horrible on me because I'm so short?? Also torn between a denim or a versatile olive...or a fun blush!
- Espadrilles are one thing I have literally never wanted to wear - until now, for some reason? P.S. this exact pair is $19!
- I usually buy A new swimsuit/year, but when I already have plenty, is it worth my one purchase?? Even though there are S O many adorable new styles out right now? Mara Hoffman absolutely slays me time & time again, how good are both of these (subtle rainbow / floral)?
- Lilac is more about the color itself, though I do love this work appropriate crop top. I've been seeing this sweet sister of purple (who, you already know I'm obsessed with) all over, and it's just darling!
- No one is more surprised than me that fleece jackets are this in style right now, but they're the Spring equivalent of the teddy coat that was THE item for Winter 2019. I have various fleeces, hoodies, and zip-ups (more than I can wear, honestly) and yet - I still really want an oversized white nubby fleece I can wear over leggings.
- I've only recently gotten into maxi-style dresses, and never for warm weather, but a linen dress like this feels like EXACTLY what I want to wear this Summer. Already dreaming of packing this for Summer travels. If I'm being honest, this exact dress is probably what I'll buy. But black or pink?
- I have become such a loafer over flats girl! There's something really androgynous and effortless but fabulous about them. A jewel or blush toned pair could be the perfect fresh pick for Spring!
- Somehow forgot this entirely in the bottom section but I still have a rainbow sweater on my mind. The problem here is this will not translate to Summer, giving me about a couple months window to wear!
What are your must-haves for Spring 2019? What am I missing? If you're doing a no-buy challenge of any kind, I would love to hear from you! Let me know in the comments.
