THE FUSE

I love a little style refresh. A new color trend taking over my closet here, a cozy home find there, and the occasional “why not?” purchase—like the brief moment I truly believed Tabi shoes could look just as good on me as they did on Zendaya. But as the year slows down, the purchases add up—both in my bank account and around my home. Storage gets messier, drawers get fuller, Depop listings get longer, and suddenly it’s abundantly clear that I didn’t need most of the random shit I bought. What’s worse? Some purchases haven’t even seen the light of day and probably never will… This leads me to the question I should have been asking before each of my purchases, instead of after: “Do I actually need any of this?”
