Love love love all of this. The idea of sharing generalities rather than specific “buy this here now” links and encouraging slow, thoughtful shopping is so lovely and something I think we need more of online! I also just loved the line “I am often swimming in a sort of desire. I value not having everything I want all the time.” Want to print it out and hang it on my wall as a reminder when I feel overwhelmed by my own search bar. Also, the red sandals reminded me of something I heard of a while ago called ‘serotonin dressing.’ I heard it from someone in a hot pink puffer coat in the dead of winter, when everyone else was in black parkas. Bold colors are exciting no matter the season!
Long live short bathing suit bottoms!
You always know what UP Rebecca
