Yes to all of this!! Consumption culture has made it so that I often find myself desperately covering a very specific item rather than trying to figure out how to translate that into my style or interiors with what I already have, or finding a secondhand piece that reflects the same vibe. It’s a mindset shift I have to remind myself of frequently. And also, CONGRATS!!! 😘
