Kind of like influencing but in reverse….!

Harris Wharf London Coat

I love this brand, their clean silhouette but it isn’t special enough. Plus this grey is so boring.

Akris Checkerboard Dress

I like the print.. and then I look at it and don’t like it. I think it is just too much for me, even though I think I could still pull it off.

Vivienne Westwood Dress

I LOVE her work, and this dress looks so incredible, with the draping and such, but this is a dress you need to try on, not to just see it on a rack. I bet you the boat neck does me no favours.

Manière de voir Amaya sweater

Thick cuffs, long sleeves, snuggly!??? SIGN ME UP. But I can’t pay that price, and I hate how it is cropped and tight at the waist. I would need high-waisted pants and skirts to wear with this, and I would inevitably get cold air on my stomach when I go to reach for anything.

Fuzzy Coat

I already have teddy bear coats, no need for the polyester version. As much as I like it.

Balenciaga floral blouse

I love the print so much but it is overall too dark for me. I am not really a fan of black backgrounds.

Sacai skirt

I was SO CLOSE to getting this but it is polyester. Ick.

Céline boots

I already have a similar thrifted pair that I like, that look just like this but the heel is thinner, not a block heel. That said, I also have plenty of very comfy Rag & Bone block booties that would fit this need.

DSquared Tweed + Leather jacket

I am a sucker for tweed + leather together. I was very tempted, but it is a size 42 and would look very odd on me with the tailored shoulders, as I am more of a 36.

Rachel Antonoff Samantha Wrap dress

The cactus print is SO DANG CUTE. I just don’t love the belly peeking through but overall, I would 100% buy this if I could try it on first to see if it were a good fit.

But alas…

Sézane Sweater

I like the look but I have plenty of cream and white sweaters, AND this is likely some polyester brand, knowing the brand.

Frame Silk Shirt

I no longer go to the office but this would be 100% what I would buy… It just no longer fits in my life any longer.

Rachel Antonoff Parker Jemma Rose Puffer

GAH. HOW CUTE IS THIS. I can’t pay that price tag knowing that I don’t really wear puffer jackets, but I was sorely tempted.

Mademoiselle Jules necklace

I love me a good gold chain, as it dresses up any outfit, but I already have plenty of chains.
