I love this, Morganne! It sounds like your ability to connect with people leads you to meaningful experiences and souvenirs you might not have discovered otherwise, that is so special. I haven’t been great at gathering souvenirs from my travels (I don’t think I give myself enough time to find them), so I might need to take a page out of your book!
Aw thanks Lauren! I had been looking at it through a critical lens but taking a step back, you’re so right. Over the years I’ve tried to steer my souvenirs to more meaningful ones! That’s why they’re hard to find though lol.
Ok I am in the same head space as you. I found this amazing chore jacket in San Diego and DIDNT BUY IT despite going back twice to look at it. Also I have a great Carhartt travel purse but it dresses down my outfits to the max!
My next two mindful purchases are a cute mini cross body leather bag and a denim chore jacket!!!
Ok I love that I’m not alone here haha. Oh nooo is the jacket not available online?! You’ll have to keep me posted on what you find for both your jacket and purse!
And I love the phrase “mindful purchase”—going to use that!
Omg that looks very much like the one I wanted and $10 cheaper … only difference was the one k wanted was worn denim and slightly longer !!! Thank you!!!

I guess you needed me to shop with you and push you to purchase 😂
Hahaha depends on what it is 😜

I just remembered that the Platonic Love newsletter linked to a Carhartt denim chore jacket the other week, did you see it? https://www.ssense.com/en-us/women/product/carhartt-work-in-progress/navy-michigan-denim-jacket/14851621

The one I wanted was vintage! One of a kind! Truly don’t know why I didn’t buy it. It was $150 and I got sticker shock I guess.
Ahh that is too bad, I totally get it though…so many emotions wrapped up in spending, even when you have the means!
