d'occasion

Hello ladies! I wanted to mention a great option to find unique pieces while saving the planet and money! High-end consigned, recycled, or repurposed clothes. This fantastic jacket was found at an upscale consignment shop-and it is absolutely amazing, unique and the price was fantastic. And I feel like in today's world of job uncertainty (meaning: watching our dollars and spending), and the constant focus on sustainability, it makes so much sense to find a nice, reputable, higher-end consignment store that you trust, frequent often and purchase from. Finding a higher-end, nicer store is important because I find the higher-end brands use higher quality materials, the workmanship is better, and therefore the clothes last longer and look great longer. And sometimes the tags are still on and the items are brand new, at a discounted rate.

And you can also sell your nice, in great condition clothes, bags, etc. and get cash or credit, which allows you to 'buy' things for (sort of) free! I was dropping some items off, when I walked by this super soft, super warm adorable jacket, and I had to have it! And with my existing credit, it didn't cost me a thing. Big bonus.

So, for running errands and such the other day, I paired the jacket with very comfy flare jeans, as I wanted to be casual and comfortable; coupled with with a strappy body suit underneath and ankle booties. This jacket is like a comfy blanket and I couldn't stop running my fingers through it during the day. It was really soothing! It's the simple pleasures these days that get us through.

Also, I wore my protector's eye necklace to keep me safe from all the yucky stuff out there, and an adorable friendship bracelet I received from my sweet friend, which is focused on spreading the message of empowering women and embracing our ambitions. How amazing I felt running errands - strong and purposeful. LOL!

Happy day to everyone! and PLEASE check in on your friends, some may need it more than you know.... and also check in with yourself to make sure you are ok. We really do need each other right now, I think more so than we realize.

Bisous, bisous!
