I have to start this post by admitting that I never owned a lot of jewelry, it just wasn’t a priority given the income I had. I guess that’s why when I started planning the Fall-Winter collections and sketching some accessories, I thought it would be a good idea to have jewelry for these clothes in real life, not only on paper.
Therefore, I went to the craft supply store and found some items to make accessories. The necklaces are simple and colorful, but have the benefit of not being too blingy, meaning I can wear them with all kinds of casual outfits.
The bracelets, on the other hand, were inspired by Pandora bracelets, to which you are supposed to add charms and trinkets that represent your personality and major events in your life. It’s a fun idea; and, from Pandora’s point of view, it’s absolutely brilliant because it could become a long-term relationship with the Pandora brand, as your life will continue to evolve. However, I have made similar ones for a very small fraction of the price. Originally, I intended to make just one bracelet, but it broke at the clasp because the pendants were too heavy (it’s useful to know that). That’s why I have redistributed the weight the trinkets on two bracelets, and I have resolved the problem. Either way, at such a low cost, I can change my mind about the trinkets as often as I want, or even stop wearing them, and never feel any regrets.
So I would really like to update my wardrobe. A lot of stuf
I have doesn't really fit me anymore but I'm hanging onto it cause I've convinced myself I'll lose a bit of weight in the near future (haha)
And consequently it feels like my selection of wearable clothes has shrunk considerably.
Thing is, I kinda hate shopping cause I'm just large enough that I don't really fit a lot of the typical (and accessible) brands, so clothes shopping is mostly just an exercise in making me feel really bad about myself.
I was debating trying to buy a bunch of stuff from thredup (online thrift store) or something, so that a) it's cheaper, and b) it's slightly more ethical than buying new, but I hate trying to navigate their website. Even with the 300000 different filters they have it seems near impossible to find anything, and I don't enjoy online shopping at the best of times cause I can't feel the fabrics and try on the items.
I dunno, this is just a vent post. If you do happen to have advice that would be cool, but mostly I just needed to get this out of my brain.
