This almost exclusively happens when I'm thrifting.. I have found some of my more treasured pieces there but I'm also a magnet to junk
.. I always take a few extra pieces that I'm too naive to think I will just make work.. like 70s jackets/sweater, 70s dresses, menswear pieces that I "will adapt".. which of course never happens. And I don't know what's with 70s stuff, my style is everything but 70s-inspired.
I also have the bad habit of getting glittery/sequined stuff from Forever 21, I get so stupid with the prices, that must be it
.. I have a couple of tops and a tank with the tags still on and a blue sequined sweater that looks so pretty on the hanger but really cheesy when you put it on.. I've tried wearing it with motorbike boots, with different layers but it just isn't happening.
And that reminds me I also have some cardigans and blouses from H&M that I never wear, same price effect as F21 I guess.. and same effect when wearing it too.. it just isn't me.
