Holy Sh*t. Something is happening! Everything I bought in March, 9 actionable takeaways! + my Shopping Diary.

Bought 3 new things. 3 secondhand. Consigned 24. (!)

[Background if you’re new here: In 2024 I spent an entire year bringing more intentionality to my shopping, implementing parameters to get my time back, observing my thoughts, feelings and actions, and keeping a Shopping Diary. In January, 2025, I decided to BE DONE with rules. No more “no-buys” “one-buys” — all of it. I’d shopping too big a focus in my life. (More on that here if you’re interested.) In February, I started a class on over-shopping.]

March! March has been a breakthrough month. I usually do these posts immediately, but this month, aside from trying not to overwhelm with posts, I didn’t resolve what I’m actually keeping, let alone process it all, until today. But I’m excited to share, because it’s been a breakthrough month — in terms of what I bought, yes, but more than that in where I went emotionally, and what I learned.

I bought 6 items. 7 if you count the loafers (upper right) I am exchanging for size — so they may or may not work out.

But I also have 9 really actionable takeaways to share.
