With only 7 buys left this year, I didn't rush this one
Buying one pair of shoes took me months... and that's the point! In this video I walk through the thoughtful shopping process I used to add a colorful shoe to my wardrobe during my low buy year, when I only have a handful of purchases left for all of 2026. Instead of an impulse buy, I thought about what I already own, tried on pieces I'd already decluttered, narrowed down color and silhouette, and made every choice earn its place. This is how my shopping habits have changed, and how intentional shopping decision actually works in practice! I am thinking about wardrobe gaps, styling colorful shoes, and whether a piece will really fit the outfits I already make. If you love slow fashion, shopping your wardrobe, and making better shopping decisions instead of shopping more, this one's for you. SPOILER!!!! The shoes I landed on are the Sam Edelman Shira flats in green! Here's the link if you are considering adding them for yourself, but they are available at a lot of different retailers so if this link doesn't have your size just google the style name and hopefully you can find the size your looking for https://www.samedelman.com/product/wo...
