I thought I might start this as a new monthly series. Not sure if I’ll do All The Things…or just clothes. But I figured I’d start with both, especially thinking that my clothing shopping is winding down this time of year. Let me know what you think! Is it a help…or boring?

SET OF 8 MULTI-SIZED EXTRA THICK ECO-FRIENDLY REUSABLE FOOD STORAGE BAGS

I was getting close to the last of my sandwich-sized plastic Ziplock baggies and just thought there might be a better option. So far, so good with these! No leakage, they’ve washed-up easily enough (I mean NOTHING is as easy as just dropping something in the trash can, but…I can make a LITTLE effort to help the planet).

Vanity Fair Women’s Body Caress Hi-Cut Panty 

These have been my go-panties for a gazillion years. Seriously, since like my 20’s. They’ve gone through several iterations, cut styles have changed, new fabrics have come out, but they’re still the best blend of sucking-in + comfort I’ve found in a panty. And they’re relatively inexpensive (as plus-sized underwear goes) and easily ordered through Amazon. I wear the 9, which is their XXL and usually the largest size I can find. I typically get them in Damask Neutral and Midnight Black.

Aneco 288 Pieces Window Clings Heart Window Sticker Static Stickers Window Decals for Party Favors and Party Decorations

This was a fun purchase. I put these all around the office for Valentine’s Day but they’d be fun all year round as love notes on bathroom mirrors, your SO or friend’s car windshield, cell phones, lunch boxes or more! There are LITERALLY 288 pieces in the package, of all different sizes, colors, shapes and designs. I’m Valentine’s Window Clinged for life!

PRETTY LITTER CAT LITTER

 

 

 

 

I’m weak. I renewed my subscription to Pretty Litter after one month of not having it (have been using it since June 2019). It’s not inexpensive but it is The Best kitty litter I’ve ever used…and I’ve had cats for 40 years. It’s long-lasting, dust-free, easy to use, keeps smells down to nothing, and arrives by mail every 4-6 weeks (you set the delivery schedule) so you don’t have to lug heavy bags or tubs from store to car, car to house. It also has a health tracking ingredient that shows if your cat’s urine gets too alkaline or acidic or contains blood – all indications there could be a health issue.

Sanctuary Curve New Generation Boyfriend Shirt

Sanctuary Curve - New Generation Boyfriend Shirt

This is a shirt I had in my January nuuly.com rental box that I LOVED and wore a whole bunch. The thought of returning it made me sad and like there’d be a hole in my wardrobe without it…so I found it on sale at Bloomingdales and bought it there. I’ve styled it so many ways already and still have more ways to go! I got it in a 3x.

LOFT PLUS BUTTON DOWN TUNIC SHIRT

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I found myself wearing my white linen shirt so much during the winter that I thought I could use a “less summery” version that wouldn’t wrinkle so much, like for work. This is rayon and has good drape and movement…and I’ve had a tailored white button-down blouse on my list for a long time. I got it in a 3x.

SEDONA WOOL SWEATER COAT

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This was a splurge, for sure.  After getting the camel coat last fall I told myself that was it. If I wanted another coat, I would wait til next year. But. Then I got this coat from nuuly.com and fell in deep deep love. It’s got The Three C’s: Cozy, Comfy, and Cute. A real outlier from my usual solid, neutral, classic style…but I just love it and have worn it tons. I got it in a 2x and maybe could have gone down to a 1x, it’s that roomy.

CATHERINE MALANDRINO CASHMERE CREWNECK PULLOVER

Remember the thing I said above about the coat? One this year, one next year? I said the same about $$ sweaters. But I’ve worn my black one SO much this year and I knew I wanted to get a grey one next year…that when this went on sale for TWENTY-SIX DOLLARS, come on! I’m pretty confident it would not be $26 at the beginning of fall/winter next year…it would be back up to $100, if I could even find one I liked! It took me two years to find a black one I liked! So. I bought it. It made financial sense. Right?

MEJURI GOLD MIDI HOOPS

I’ve wanted these for a long time…first I waited to convince myself to spend the money…then I waited for the money…then they sold out…then I tried several times to buy them on ebay but kept missing the end of the auction…THEN in a magical twist of fate, I got a Visa gift card for Christmas AND they came back in stock at exactly the same time – it was as if the Universe WANTED me to have them. And how do you say no to the Universe?? I’ve worn them lots and love them.

And that is all I bought in January – besides groceries and drug-store type health/beauty stuff cuz things I don’t buy online are harder to keep track of.
