What I ALMOST bought today

2024/11/17 Edited to

... Read moreShopping can be an exciting experience filled with temptations. Today, I came across several items that almost made their way into my cart. Highlights included pieces from the Ermenegildo Zegna outlet, which featured exquisite formalwear. Many are also turning to brands like Steven Madden for trendy footwear, perfect for any occasion. During the holidays, shopping takes on a dynamic energy, with stores showcasing various enticing deals. When you see something that speaks to you, it’s hard to resist, especially during seasonal sales. The excitement of finding a perfect piece can sometimes lead to overthinking—wondering about sizing or even if the item is practical after all. Moreover, social media influences our shopping decisions as we often get inspired by others' finds, creating a communal experience around shopping. Each item tells a story, not just of style but of personal value and connection. Next time you’re out shopping, pay attention to what nearly gets bought. It will surprise you how many thoughts go through your mind, often reflecting your style journey. Stay tuned for more insights on shopping behaviors and trends!

Almost Bought This 📒….
Took me 10 mins to debate buying this.. didn’t know if I really needed it. Finally walked to the front with the book and there was a really long line for check out. That made my decision easier. So just left the book and walked out. 😆 #Lemon8Diary #lemon8diarychallenge #lemon8challenge

things i bought for college that i regret
1. a mesh shower caddy —— it’s flimsy, there’s no place to hang it up, there’s pockets but things just all fall together anyways, it’s just not worth it. get a plastic one that stands up by itself. 2. tons of notebooks/folders/paper/etc —— almost everything is done online nowadays. don’t buy
