REGRETS AND REBUYS // VOL. II
I am back with another installment of ‘Regrets and Rebuys’, after you all loved this one so much! In this series I break down the items I have purchased and would rebuy as well as the items that fell flat and didn’t work for me. Hindsight is 20/20!
REBUY
FEATHER BROOCH
I did rebuy this feather brooch. Again and again and again in all sorts of fun, pop colors. It seriously jazzes up even the saddest of outfits!
BAUBLEBAR BAG
As someone who always loves to be over-prepared, you can typically find me hauling around a tote with everything I *might* need. This BaubleBar bag is one of my favorites. It comes in over 25 color combos, and of course, can be personalized. I am scared to admit I now own three of them! The one shown here is the medium size!
HELENE DRESS
When I first saw this dress I knew I was going to fall in love with it. I first bought it in black and then quickly went back for the green. They now offer it in five colors! The fit is fantastic and the slight sheer of the fabric makes it feel incredibly elegant.
GUCCI HEELS
I own two pairs of plaid, black heels and honestly, they never see the light of day. I always find a more interesting heel to pair with whatever I am wearing. So, when I first saw these, I did question how much I would wear them. The answer? A LOT! They are so comfortable and interesting, without being too complicated to mix and match!
REGRET
Similar to last time, the theme here continues to be the items that proved too hard to style again and again as well as pieces that were too expensive and I didn’t satisfy my cost per wear rule. It is always a bummer when this happens, but you live and learn!
PRADA SHOES
Okay, I was giddy when I first got these. They are well made, are a great fit, and a comfortable heel hight. SO why are they on the regret list? I feel that given the high price point, I simply haven’t worn them enough. The white color is VERY white and I wish that I had got them in the brown instead.
OMBRE COAT
Fab coat, not nearly enough wear. I love prints and patterns and I feel like this coat looks best with a paired back neutral look. Something I don’t typically go for. I still *love* the idea of this coat, but I would have gotten way more use out of a different piece.
GUCCI JACKET
Saw this, loved it, and was thrilled to find it second-hand. The joy kind of ends there. Another piece that felt tricky to style again and again. If I wear more than say two colors with this jacket I start to look a bit like a toddler playing dress up. I am not giving up though and plan to keep it in my closet…for now.
PARIS TEXAS BOOTS
This regret is a bit of a tricky one. I already owned black boots that I really liked from Zara. I wanted to upgrade a bit and bought these. However, when push came to shove, I continued to look for the Zara boots. This was just a lesson in “don’t buy two of something until you really need a replacement”. I love Paris Texas boots and these are a great style, I just didn’t need a second pair of black, western style boots in my closet.
PURPLE LEATHER MIDI SKIRT
Real talk here! I try not to be ‘label blind’ or buy an item because I am wowed by the % of savings, but in this case, I didn’t follow my own rule. I found this Bottega skirt for under $500 in my size (it was originally over $5K). I jumped on it. A few months later I ended up selling it to TRR. I wasn’t finding enough reasons to wear it!
