ok well ONE OF THE SHIRTS I ORDERED IN MY LAST POST (the lil tomato one) ended up not being available, so I got the $65 plus shipping back and instantly decided to justify my decision to buy The Greatest Jacket of All Time:
ganni pink organic two-tone denim jacket: 50% off at $187 from net-a-porter i’ve wanted this silly boy for over a month but couldn’t justify spending two hundred dollars on a barbiecore denim jacket, even one that would go with nothing—and, thus, everything—and was the perfect weight and cut for my current life of near-constant travel. (trust me, the key to flying spirit airlines is light layers.) but when i got my Tomato Shirt Rebate, i hastened to purchase the last one in my size. also jazmine said i could, which often makes a difference, because she will let me make dumb discretionary purchases, but not ugly/unworthy ones. other than this jacket, i haven’t made any big purchases in the first week of 2023. i bought some unnecessary takeout meals, some sad conde nast cafe lunches and some really wonderful meals w friends, and i’ve been better about taking public transportation on this trip to nyc instead of a $40 uber between boroughs. i’m also (humiliatingly) just now committing to immediately putting a set percentage of my salary in savings when i get paid, which i was doing intermittently, for the last five years and should have been more diligent about, but better late than never. i did purchase a silly little toner that had something ocean-life-y in it (seaweed? kelp? dolphin? jk cruelty free xoxo ) that i presume will be waiting for me when i get back to austin on tuesday, but that hasn’t Made the Blog because i technically bought it at the tail end of 2022. tonight is my friend kate’s 30th bday party, to which i plan to wear one of my best workhorse purchases from last year (lisa says gah slutty black tube dress) w glitter eyeshadow and the shrimp earrings rax got me for christmas. maybe tomorrow i’ll be hungover and buy more stuff, idk. xoxo
