My new handmade Frida Kahlo bag arrived from Israel today, along with a green leather clutch and they are just as beautiful as I hoped that they would be. Truly.

I bought it in the black because I figured it would integrate best with my wardrobe and I loved the way the print contrasted against it.

I also found another pair of Adidas track pants this week like my bottle green pair, but this time in a bright blue. They are super fun.

I saw that they came in the blue and I hunted down a pair secondhand. I love when your hunt is successful.

I also found some secondhand Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 sneakers in gold this week on Poshmark. They are actually more rose gold in person but will work well for the metallic trend that is currently running now and into fall/winter again.

I love when I either have things already that check the trend boxes or am able to find one secondhand. It’s always immensely satisfying.

Two weeks ago I found an amazing knit wrap sweater on Poshmark as well but the seller never shipped it. I was able to cancel it after 7 days and got a refund which was upsetting until I found the same sweater on eBay for $15 cheaper.

I obviously overpaid the first time, but she never responded to my offers, so I paid full price because I really wanted it, but I should have seen the non-response as a sign.

It seems that I have been having a lot of Poshmark success lately. I wonder if it is because I am looking for off-season stuff, so the competition is lower?

I’m so tired right now.
