Thank you for your transparency and I love the secondhand growth! 100% agree with secondhand not being a compromise - I've found I love my secondhand pieces more than most of my new items. It was eye-opening to see my numbers on FR. Most of what I've bought new was non-apparel like legwear, but I still want to get that number down for 2026.

It’s always a process! Starting is the hardest part but being able to digitally keep an eye on it over the course of the year keeps me on track! So glad you are also loving the secondhand stats ❤️❤️

Ok, I am inspired! So many amazing finds, but my key takeaway is that I need to start parting with a few things.

I've really leaned in to ebay this year and it's been so much fun! Especially for bags, jewelry and accessories - it's just never ending inspiration. So glad it resonated!

Those Celine mules and Prada pompom bag are drool-worthy. Your 2025 acquisitions feel so special — I’m feeling inspired to really prioritize shopping secondhand and vintage this year. The thrill of the hunt is really something.

Truly, after you interview I hit TRR jackpot! I love them and wear them all the time! I'm so glad my finds resonated - I get so much inspiration from seeing what you gravitate towards, I'm glad I can I can reciprocate :)

Working toward it for selling! For now though the Gmail sync and digital wardrobe still should import if receipt or product pages are in English! Would love your feedback if you have any
