What I Bought in January

January 30, 2019 by jessica Leave a Comment

ball gown prom dress

Going a month without shopping didn’t exactly go as planned on the sartorial front, even though I did succeed when it came to housewares and other unnecessary indulgences. There was just something about this dress that I couldn’t pass up during the Net-a-Porter sale. I love fit-and-flare frocks, especially when they’re created from such a vibrant silk with an eye-catching design. It’s one of those pieces that embodies the direction I’d like my wardrobe to go this year: beautifully crafted, high quality, thoughtful, unique, and something that I’m beyond excited to wear.

This month’s edited list also made me realize how much happier I am when I pare down my selections to just one or two (or sometimes three) quality items to refresh my closet each month. I think I’m finally past the point where I crave an overhaul of fast fashion each season. That’s not to say I won’t enjoy the cheap thrill occasionally (thus, the earrings), I would just rather save my money and put it toward a better quality item I’ll love for years to come. With that in mind, the one item I have my eye on for February is this gorgeous blouse from Nicola Glass’ debut collection with Kate Spade. I love wearing loose blouses with jeans and this one ticks all of my boxes with a beautiful print, fluid fabric, and a flirty neckline.

PURCHASED

  • Diane von Furstenberg dress – Super cute and true to size. It even has pockets! (I so rarely purchase designer clothing and it’s always such a treat to have a garment with thoughtful attention to detail and beautiful fabric.)
  • Figrace acrylic hoop earrings – These are pretty great for $10. They’re substantial, but lightweight, and the emerald green color is gorgeous. This particular pair is now sold out, but you can get these rectangular hoops in green.

I’m challenging myself to get through a backlog I’m challenging myself to get through a backlog of travel photos before we book our next trip. First up, photos of the gothic York Minster. I’m not religious in the slightest but I can’t resist stunning architecture and the opportunity to climb hundreds of cathedral stairs for a city view. This one only had a single rest stop about halfway up the flight of 275 steps for a closeup view of the flying buttresses — and a waiver you had to sign before your ascent to promise you’re healthy enough to make it.

Visiting York earlier this month put us in the Hal Visiting York earlier this month put us in the Halloween spirit. While it claims to be the most haunted place in Europe and is dubbed the city of a thousand ghosts, we only encountered the wire-mesh sculptures of Ghosts in the Gardens (@the_york_bid) and the family of souvenir ghosts I brought home from @yorkghostmerchants.
