Shopping Diaries: Everything I Ordered Last Week
Starting new year off strong
You know when you’ve been meaning to place a few orders, and you finally get around to it and just go absolutely crazy? Same. Here’s a breakdown of everything I ordered last week.
All 3 of my favorite lip liners magically disappeared over the same two-week period. I’ve been trying to make do without them but finally caved and ordered a restock. While I was add it I ordered a new bottle of my go-to deodorant.
I’m not sure what came over me but I *somehow* ended up with 4 new pairs of flats at my front door. And in the dead of winter nonetheless.
I’ve never cared for the Tabi silhouette in the past, but I was immediately drawn to this satin pair in dust the moment I saw them . The majority of my closet leans a bit dark and masculine, and I’ve been craving some more feminine touches to add into the mix. I ended up sending them back because they were too small, but I found a pair on Vestiare Collective, unworn, in the correct size, for less than half the price - score. These pairs also have a similar feel for a fraction of the price: ballet flat in morning dew, odin flat, and these silk-satin slippers.
The Gucci flats - I have LOVED these for awhile and couldn’t stop thinking about them. Probably for the best, but they were just too uncomfortable to justify keeping. If you have these and are able to walk in them, let me know. Maybe it’s a me problem.
I was thrilleddd with this woven pair. They felt just as soft, buttery and easy to walk in as my tried and true, and based how much wear I got out of the mary janes, I know I will be reaching for these over and over once the temps change.
The first week in January might not feel like the right time to buy a cotton dress, but this one is worthy of an exception. It’s finally back in stock and my love for this dress is so strong that I ordered a second to have as backup. I originally snagged mine on TRR and have worn it more times than I can count. It’s flattering on all body shapes and I love that it can be worn on or off the shoulders. It seems like the newly available version is made with a slightly more sheer cotton fabric than the one I already have. I don’t mind a little sheerness, and would wear it with this pair of full coverage nude briefs. You could also try it with a Doen slip. Although the slip would personally take away from the ease of the dress (one of its many redeeming qualities).
While I was doing some digging, I found another one of my all time favorite Doen dresses, the sicilia, in pearl. Available in an XS for a very fair price considering how incredible it is, and in a size L for a less enticing price.
I’m already a fan of this boat neck top, and just ordered the turtleneck version. I thought it would work well with a black leather jacket and black pants for a night out.
I was in need of a new walking shoe and I like my workout sneakers to have a platform.
I’m now realizing this price feels a bit steep for dish soap, but I just repurchased my second bottle and recommend it nonetheless.
That’s where my ordering frenzy stopped for the time being. But if you’re looking to indulge in some good sale shopping this week, I just added a few new favorites to this roundup here, and many of the styles just got an extra markdown with the code SALE20. Some standout picks: these cashmere trousers (which look like a cross between to of my favorite styles, the sofi and heather), the perfect pair of slouchy black denim, and this versatile knit blazer.
What size do you have in the Ischia dress? :)
