Small buy or bye with me this week

3/11 Edited to

... Read moreI love doing these "buy or bye" hauls because they help me share my real experiences with clothes that catch my eye. Over time, I’ve learned that fit and comfort are just as important as style. For example, the Gap zip-up I recently tried felt incredibly comfy and fit perfectly—I couldn’t resist buying it. On the flip side, some pieces like the Ralph Lauren sweater felt too tight and awkward in length, so I decided to pass on them rather than force an unflattering fit. It’s also fun discovering vintage treasures, like the Harley Davidson long sleeve I picked up. The vibe is unique, and it’s perfect for summer layering. However, fit again plays a huge role—I found some items, such as sweatpants from Edikted or a Lulu long sleeve, just didn’t feel right in certain areas, which is a dealbreaker for me. When I choose to buy, I consider how versatile the item is within my existing wardrobe and how much I’ll wear it. Comfort can’t be overstated either—no matter how cute something is, if it’s too tight or uncomfortable, it’s a bye. I also appreciate brands that maintain quality and style, like Fear of God essentials, which consistently offer great basics that blend well with trendier pieces. For anyone considering a “buy or bye” approach, I recommend trying items on thoroughly and imagining their practical use day-to-day. Sometimes a piece might look great in the store but feel restrictive when I try to move around. Sharing these thoughts helps me build a wardrobe I love and encourages others to shop with intention rather than impulse.
