This is the third year I have been doing this fashion ORPÍN Purchasing evaluation. It is a perfect way to review my consumption form and realize that if I bought in my dressing room it was useful/qualitative.
As for the previous times, I list the acquisition I did this year, either Gifts or purchases. Lord let’s go!
9 new items in 2022: 5 purchases and 4 gifts
If we compare with 2020 (=8 acquisitions Including 3 purchases) and 2021 (=13 acquisitions Including 7 purchases), we can say that I remain constant and rather moderate in my consumption of clothing/accessories.
My purchases this year are not the most exciting in terms of style, but they are in the area of utility or the satisfaction of a passion. So I’ll start my list with The gifts I receivedof friends and family who know my tastes well, to end with more basic Hurrañas.
ATELIER PRIVATE BUFONDA
Pale pink scarf Private workshop
Gift date: March 2022 (my friend Lionel’s late birthday gift)
My daily use: This Alpaca wool The scarf is soft, warm and of very good quality. I used it mainly at the end of the last spring and I will use it with so much pleasure this winter. The choice of The pale pink color It is quite judicious because it allows me to improve my attire with some sobriety, while coinciding with the chromatic palette or my wardrobe (mainly gray, beige, whitish, chaqui).
The loss of the uniform l/
Gift date : January 2022 (for my birthday)
My daily use : Since I have medium-length hair, the lid is one of my favorite accessories to make my outfits more “Sportswear-Chic”. This is perfectly because the present color tone (chaqui and beige) also harmonizes with most of my clothes. I like the “American College” appearance. Special mention to 100% French manufacturing in Causesade (TARN-ET-GARONNE) and its composition (linen/cotton) very pleasant in summer.
The Syzane’s earrings
Gift date : January 2022 for my birthday (from my dear = definitely, I was spoiled!)
My daily use : I used duration throughout the year 2022. I have been looking for A pair of large/wide ring earrings For a time and the thesis are perfect. They are plays in gold and slightly hammered, which gives them a touch not at all classic. Until now, they remain friendly and golden and do not become black. That said, if you have any advice on how Mintain or recover the gold lining in a piece of jewelry, I am all the ears!
The “Tadao Ando” BourSe de Commerce helmet
Gift date : June 2022 Duration A Private Visit of BourSe de Commerce
My daily use : Unlike a few years ago, I use my leather bags very occasionally. Daily, I prefer ballsThey are lighter and more land. I can store many more things in them (compartmentalized in pockets) and I don’t have to worry about them … what joy was to recite one with a printed sketch of my favorite Japanese architect Tadao Ando. It is a gray color and combines with my wardrobe (it is a good change of the white and black bag).
Issey Miyake Sol glasses
Sunnies El-2 Ronda Issey Miyake
Purchase date : August 2022
Why I bought the subject : As I explained in this article, I have a leg looking for years to invest in a pair of quality sunglasses in a fun, elegant and modern style that is more classic and less massive than my Chloé Carlina. I arrive through them a duration of a walk in the Marais, I tried and adopted them.
My daily use : I used them mainly on my vacation in September and I am delighted that they coincide with most of my outfits while I re -re -re -re -re -seized. A long -term investment (I hope).
The Bastille T -shirt
T -shirt “Club 57” Deck
Purchase date : May 2022
Why I bought it : I had seen a special edition of this shirt, sold at a concert in London or My favorite band bandAnd when its general public version was launched online a few months later, I could not help falling in love with it. You know that my love for this band … And seeing them live last November was the impetus for me to adopt this shirt in advance of using it that night!
My daily use : I do not regret this purchase, more guide for the heart than for reason … even if I appreciate the design inspired by Keith Haring (In relation to the song “Club 57” or the Bastille band) and the colors. I only used it twice so as not to damage it too much, plan to take it out again when the weather is pleasant (the touch of red allows me to make combinations of consistent clothing) or in the future concert of the band.
The Totebag lotus
Totebag Loto Miniso And a general description of the type of attire that I can use in Disneyland Paris (+ a lot of lotsos)
Purchase date : May 2022
Why do I do it? : Once again, the heart more than the reason guided this purchase. I fell in love with this bag (far from being a basic, haha) while visiting a Miniso Store (which is undoubtedly the devil in terms of useless and ecological devices as a fast fashion store … but hey!). The fact is that I love this character Toy Story Lotso (Who is far from being known for your Infant, but that is another debate!) And that I already have some accessories with their similarity reserved for my trips to Disneyland. I found this beautiful, practical and intelligent bag (with its small spongy tail on the back), so it was naturally adopted!
My daily use : This accessory is one of those that I consider useful to go to Disneyland. I do not use it at all on a daily base (everything I could, if it were in humor) because I reserve it to add some magic to my visits to the park. When I go there, I like to disguise myself according to a character (I used this bag on a Halloween day), so it allows me to bring A little fantasy To my outfit while allowing Optimal storage Or my things (unlike the small loto lot that I bought in Japan, with almost purely decorative functions). In summary, a purchase does not regret, which will not be understood/loved by all, but it is still useful (sporadical, but useful anyway).
Muji panties without seams
Panties MUJI
Purchase date : April 2022
Why I bought the subject : Reason more than heart this time! Simply because almost all my panties cool at the same time and wanted to supply me Brains without comfortable seams (These are Made in Japan). They are not sexy at all (the shape and color are very basic, however, invisible through light clothes) but do you know that he is a sexy person? 😉 And then being comfortable with your clothes is also being better on your skin and, by extension, it’s sexy, right?
My daily use : I bought Low waist “Midi” Models and “Great Ascent” Models (by the way, I only counted thesis panties in my fashion balance for 1 garment due to the unknown side of the thing). After several months of use, I would recommend more the midi shape because the high height is less comfortable (… on the buttocks, figure!). But apart from that, I am satisfied with its adjustment and comfort.
Muji socks
Socks “Straight angle sneakers” SOCKER MUJI
Purchase date : April 2022
Why I bought the subject : Another little glamorous purchase to replace my short socks that I usually use with sneakers in summer.
My daily use : They have a perfect length (you can barely see them when I use them with Converse) and do not slide under the foot when walking (who else has experienced this problem with socks too short?). In summary, they are completely valid.
The purchase avoided
The repair of my New Balance 420
Sneakers New balance 420 (I have July 2014)
Repair date : Julio-August 2022
Repair reasons : The back of the sneakers was torn after several years of service (they are from 2014), Le Sole Untuck and the upper part was dirty/Wern. I had the temptation to replace them with a new and more fashionable couple, but my instinct was to repair them since the sole was still intact. It cost me almost the price of a new pair (€ 80).
My daily use : I am satisfied to have resisted the temptation of the novelty (even for this price), after this small blow of nine, I think my shoes will have more years. That is what we call a purchase avoided through an extension of the life of your shoes and I am quite proud of it.
My evaluation
My fashion consumption is still quite frugal, especially if you compare it with my first days as a fashion blogger when I had many things. Have Everything I need in my wardrobe (I still have Rain boots In my radar, but I take my time in this search) and my body type and my style remain more or less the same from year to year, so that helps a lot. It could have omitted the most elegant purchases (Loteo or Bastille Type), but whenever you have pleasure or loading the use, it is consulted by a successful acquisition.
I am still very excited to assemble an outfit with what I have or admire new combinations of clothing in windows or store networks, but The need to possess something new is no longer essential for me.. I had some explanations in this Instagram post.
Age, self -awareness, some confidence, ecological concern, the slightest desire to be fashionable or position my physical appearance at the forefront helps to channel me in purchases.
But as I say every time, this path of reasoned consumption is very personal and depends on multiple social, economic, morphological factors (increased weight) and mental health. The idea is not to feel guilty if you continuously buy 20, 30 or 50 items per year. The idea is to know if thesis 20, 30, 50 purchases really satisfies it. The objective of this type of annual fashion evaluation is to question your desires, your needs, the image of yourself to be able to address a more serene consumption and why not more reasoned.
Did it evolve at this level doing your fashion evaluation? (Quiterie’s English translation)
