Too many to count. Do we need to revisit this?
Let’s see… Just recently from memory?
- DKNY wool cape with a turtleneck that I knew I would never wear because I loathe tight turtlenecks – $300
- These Vince Camuto flats I have on my feet that are already starting to go – $60
- And maybe 3 of my formal floral dresses that I have NEVER WORN but just really love watching them hang in my closet because they’re so pretty – $1000
Ugh.
WHAT ABOUT YOU?

The biggest one was a Miu Miu bow bag in a grayish blue metallic color. I went for a small quilted Chanel (of which they had none & the sales person was quite rude to me), then walked around the corner to Miu Miu looking for a caramel leather bow bag. It’s been over a decade now and I still have that damn bag, barely used, in my closet. It will be sold or given away this month however. And I no longer engage in that sort of shopping, am a very different person now.

The Luxe Strategist
Too many to count. Not clothing, but I bought a Phillip Lim tote bag for interviews because I didn’t have a big enough bag to store my portfolio. You can guess how many times I’ve used it since…I still carry two separate bags to work everyday, just a small bag and a separate canvas tote for my lunch. I’m just not a giant bag person.
Also, when I was younger, I bought a McQ by Alexander McQueen cardigan for full price, like $300ish. It developed holes in it a few weeks later. Felt like such a chump for spending money on such a poor quality item.

I WAS SO CLOSE to buying a Philip Lim tote bag until I realized that I would NEVER use it. It just wasn’t practical.
GASP. $300-ish and it got holes!? Maybe it was on purpose?

A pant suit that I thought I needed for a special work occassion. Wore it three times, had it in my closest for years before I could let it go. I am not a suits person.

I only have ONE suit in my closet (skirt and pants with a jacket), and I break out this ONE suit every time I have an interview.. haha
