Hello!
I can’t believe it’s almost Christmas! I took another marketing class for the Fall and just completed the last class on Monday. I still have a final project I need to finish and submit before December 25th, but I am looking forward to writing up a few posts before the end of the year.
I watched a documentary about minimalism on Netflix recently, and I’ve been on a clean out binge. It’s definitely an ongoing process, and while I don’t think I could just get rid of everything in my closet or apartment, it is making me take a hard look at what I have let enter into my life. It also feels great to have more intention when shopping, and be a little more critical of my shopping habits.
Needless to say, my Poshmark closet will benefit from my need to purge and I’m adding a couple of new items each week. I’ve also had some things listed for a long time and I need to make the final push to sell or bag things up and donate them. If you’ve been watching something in my closet, make an offer before it’s too late!
For today’s outfit, I raided my mom’s closet and borrowed this belted Gap coat and Dooney & Bourke black hobo bag. Both are items she decided to part with and the bag is currently listed for sale in my closet. I am not too sure if I’ll list the coat anytime soon, it’s a pretty classic shape and fabric, but I’ll let you know if I change my mind.
I opted to wear a black, long-sleeve sweater under the coat. I wore my Diane von Furstenberg black mini skirt that I’ve had stored in my closet. I am on the fence about keeping it, especially now that I am clearing things out for the New Year, but I’ve linked a few other sizes available from The Real Real in the widget below.
I hope you enjoy this outfit inspiration and are encouraged to raid your mom’s closet for something to borrow! (Don’t forget to ask!)
Until next time,
Brandy
