I’m participating in the #letsgetearthy challenge this week on Insta and I love that it’s got me excited about my clothes again! My pic is in the center :)
Oops it’s been awhile since my last weekend update. I’ve been super busy with the move from our apartment to our new home. My goodness we’ve moved 4 times in the last year and a half. I should be a pro at this by now. I’ve been whittling down the number of things I own at every move, and had only a small bag to give to goodwill this time. You should have seen our first big move 3 years ago (we had a whole garage of stuff we ended up donating). I still have a box of things I want to sell through ebay but I’m thinking of really Marie Kondo-ing my life and getting rid of everything I’m not currently using or love. This fourth move + grief cleaning my dad’s life in his apartment + my recent fire evac scare has me reconsidering all the stuff I have in my life. I’m also planning to change my blog name sometime next year (because I am in my permanent home but no I’m not going to be a permanent-house wifey lol) and I might do a “moving sale” over on my Closet Sale page. I’ll let you know when that happens. Let me just tell you there’s probably going to be a lot of gently used Everlane on there and maybe even some vintage Grana. I plan to be ruthless with my closet.
Oh and have you guys seen Meryl Streep’s movie on Netflix, The Laundromat? I enjoyed it though there were some spots that felt a tad cheesy. I felt like I was watching another iteration of Mary Louise from Big Little Lies (which isn’t a bad thing). It also helped me understand the Panama Papers better and I just throw my hands up in the air at all the greed and corruption in this world.
I also watched a couple documentaries about clothing designers and thoroughly enjoyed them, though I’m not the type to wear their clothes. So far I’ve watched Halston and Westwood: Punk. Icon. Activist both on Amazon Prime Video. The Westwood one is particularly interesting to me because she grapples with her concern for the environment and the need to still make clothing for a living. I kind of know where she’s coming from since I too try not to harm this planet (too much) and yet I’m trying to earn money by blogging about material items. It’s a quandary every “ethical/sustainability” blogger must face. Next on my watch list is the Ralph Lauren documentary on HBO.
Have you guys seen anything good on Amazon/HBO/Netflix lately?
