Revival


I didn’t get as much wear out of this shirt from last year as I thought I would but now picking through my warm-weather clothes I’m falling in love with it all over again and my resolve to get more wear out of it is thus renewed. Ditto with these shoes that have been sitting at the bottom of my shoe shelf for way too long. I some times get caught up with constantly shopping for new things that I don’t quite give some of these older items in my closet enough love. Do you ever feel that way, as a fellow blogger or just as someone who does most of their shopping/spends a lot of time online? I think a lot these days about our/my ever-worsening consumption habits, no doubt influenced a lot by how I spend my time online :) All it really comes down to is need vs want.. and I have too many things on my want list!

    that is the best when you keep something around and find you wear it all the time later!

    It’s kind of really nice when you rediscover something that has otherwise been forgotten! I love the AW shoes, wishing I had nabbed a pair from the outnet when I had a chance.

      funnily enough that’s where i got them from ;) love scouring the outnet for these bargains!

    I love the second picture where you’re having a bit of a L’Oreal Because I’m worth it, moment! Your hair is looking awesome in that one. And yes, it’s nice to rediscover - so much cheaper too. I’m always guilty of looking for the next thing though I haven’t even worn the last thing sometimes. I need therapy.

    • http://www.absolutely-fuzzy.com Stephanie

      I definitely need therapy. Thanks for the comment on my hair - I’ve been using Pequi Oil for about ten days and it’s dramatically changed the quality of it, quite amazing stuff!

    I do have some old stuff in my closet that I don’t give enough love to anymore. I’m trying to do some wardrobe cleaning, because my closet is full of items I don’t wear anymore, and I can’t find space to put my new ones. It seems that I’m a hoarder in this field. I never liked giving my old stuff away. It’s like giving away memories sometimes. And all the time I say, “What if I need them in the future, and I don’t have them anymore?”. But I never do.
    Anyway, I got off topic. I think you look really beautiful in this pics. Especially in the 2nd one, with your hair like this, and I really like your shirt.

      Thanks M.. I would definitely do the same as you if I had space, or a proper house here. At the moment I live in an apartment and sharing wardrobe space is a little hard so it forces me to constantly give away stuff! Might not be a bad thing too. x

    love the top and shoes stephanie! sometimes things sit in my closet untouched. they just don’t seem to match up with something else. however, within a year something comes along and it all works. hahaha i try to get rid of something old after buying something new. you look pretty :)

      There are one or two things I haven’t worn in my closet either, but I always feel so guilty about spending $ on it and leaving it there!

    Great casual look utilizing your basics. Isn’t t it great when you find something you haven’t worn much?
    Thank you for stopping by.

    I completely understand and, even if I can almost provide a list of the clothes and accessories I have (the joys of a good visual memory…), I love rediscovering pieces that have been waiting in the shelves for too long.. You are right, we often think about what’s next because fashion is about looking forward…BTW, your hair are so beautiful!

    • http://www.absolutely-fuzzy.com Stephanie

      Thanks Caterina, I’ve been using something called pequi oil from Sephora and it’s helped a lot with my overprocessed hair :)

        Thanks! I’m going to look for it!

    The shoes are so beautiful! Sometimes I find myself wanting a pair of new shoes or an item of clothing, but then I just remind myself of the things I’ve already got, so I do understand you. x

    • http://www.absolutely-fuzzy.com Stephanie

      Thanks - and yes I feel guilty if I buy a similar item twice, now I try to make a bit of effort in making full use of my closet1

      Thank you Johanna, I’m lovin your blog too - your latest tutorial is awesome!

  • http://www.daringcoco.com Sonia

    Completely agree, I think my habit has more to do with the fact I’m always online browsing at new arrivals and adding to my wishlist LOL! When you analyze it this way it’s kinda scary in a compulsive kind of way!

    These are beautiful! I love that last photo with the wind in your hair, it’s super pretty & your hair looks soo glossy & perfect in it too! :)
    I’m always buying new stuff & forgetting about older things too, it’s definitely a habit that’s got worse the more time I spend online. I have so many things still hanging up with tags on, it’s quite shameful really, I’m going to try imposing a spending ban on myself for the new year & using it as an excuse to rediscover old favourites & long forgotten things, though, the key word there being ‘try’, haha!
    Very jealous of those sandals too, they’re so lovely!

    It’s great re-falling in love with an item you already own. I can see why. I love your shoes! The last photo is really gorgeous of you!
