September Mending

I have this amazing strawberry themed Fanplusfriend skirt from awhile ago. But it is in and of itself an egl hypothetical. What if you had an amazing adorable perfect strawberry themed skirt but it wrinkled if you sneezed and the lace will catch and rip on everything everytime you wear it?? That’s this skirt

Also, finally mended an ill advised Amazon blouse I got a few years back that lost all its buttons. The blouse itself fits very well. I added these dark pink heart buttons I got from my local craft store and honestly it’s now become one of my new favorite pieces.

Avoiding Overconsumption by Seasonal Decoration with Scents

I admittedly struggled a bit with incorporating this theme into J-fashion, but I realized I recently incorporated a lifestyle element that fits quite well!

I recently read a very good book about seasonal decorating without getting a bunch of clutter into your home. They reccommended seasonal plants, music and scents! I have a cat so I do worry a bit about how normal scented candles may affect her and as I get older I worry a bit about how it could affect me too.

I actually found a cool company called Enviroscent! (I’m not sponsored, I just genuinely like what I got) it was actually affordable and pet safe. I got an apple cinnamon wall plugin and a tropical auto air freshener for my car. (The hope is the car one might help with some seasonal affectations I have, we’ll see)

I’m very happy to have the nice warm smell when I come back home and will likely be decluttering my candles.

Also on the theme of scents, my favorite perfume scent is Strawberry Pound cake from bath & bodyworks. I always get a ton of compliments when I wear it and it matches my style well.

Why is selling things so hard?

I successfully chose what I want to declutter! Actually getting it out of my home has been another story. There are a lot of little pieces I need to mend before posting. I know I could sell them as is, but it just feels off to me to knowingly post something I could fix in 5 minutes. After I write this post I plan on finally ironing all the waist ties and putting on the detachable bows and actually listing them on LM or depop, whichever makes more sense for that particular item. (There are things that wouldn’t fit into the LM category very well)

Last time I tried to sell an Angelic Pretty piece at what I thought I was a good rate (a salopette for 50$) I got questioned to death for months in my PMs about it to the point where I just got fed up and gave it to a comm member for free. My husband and I are going on our honeymoon soon so if I could get some cash for my dresses that would be nice.

If things don’t sell for more than a month, I may still choose to give things away. I now know isn’t really the best timing for selling things anyways.

What troubles have you had selling or buying before?
