A fun game I like to play with myself is if I want to buy clothes, makeup, shoes, hair care, household items etc… I have to look it up on a resale site first where I will usually find it for cheaper and feel good about not contributing to a Bezos-centric society.

even though I could shop the normal way in theory I prefer to buy everything secondhand. I also hate to buy clothes everyone else is wearing. I have two Goodwills of preference I frequent with regularity; I like to go wild on Poshmark sort low to high with minimal use of keywords and liberal use of custom filters (especially brand); I find some interesting things on eBay from time to time; I like shopping clearance at TheRealReal but they like banned me… sometimes Marshall’s and TJ Maxx have cute stuff. Don’t cancel me but I’m also an Aliexpress diva and I’m in some groups of likeminded ladies about this on the dl. I look for natural fibers, good construction, and, in used garments, a tasteful but not excessive amount of wear

my top sites for secondhand shopping!!! i am truly obsessed with them, it is like hunting for treasure. i also like browsing depop, etsy, and vestiare, though i only have a handful of items from those in my wardrobe. i hear good things about vinted and medium things about grailed but i havent spent any time w those. i dont really use poshmark but it is massive. also check out the app called gem, it will check all these sites and more to find any keywords that you enter and email you a list of new items matching your query!

I have a full time job and live in Manhattan so thrifting isn’t an option for me, which is sad because I think the best-dressed people buy the majority of their clothes from thrift stores. Thankfully there’s Poshmark, a place where you can peruse the closets of Floridian housewives and Las Vegas showgirls from the bathtub. Pro tip: online shopping is a brain massage made better accompanied by bad TV. I recommend pairing low ball offers with the latest season of 90 Day Fiance, or Gossip Girl reruns (the original series, not the new one)—if you’d like to feel especially numb.

Seek out a friend (or two) who is a music freak like you and…
— send each other a song each day (something new you found, something you are listening to on repeat, a mood, a song blasting from a car that drives by that you hadn’t thought of in a long time, a weird song playing at the deli, a song in a movie that blows your mind- whateva tf you wanna share with your friends)
— send no more than one song per day/you can skip a day if the mood doesn’t strike/you can send more than one if you beg for forgiveness
— start a playlist on spotify to collectively store the songs everyone shares, in a few years (like me) you’ll have a SOTD playlist with over 900 perfect songs on it.
