You know that quiet heartbreak when you hesitate on a purchase—maybe you think, “I’ll sleep on it, be sensible”—and then BOOM: sold out in your size by morning? That’s happened to me too many times to count, and let me tell you, every time it stings more than stepping on a rogue LEGO in bare feet. So here I am, nursing my cumulative cart-remorse. I came across the studded H&M knit skirt, above, in Amsterdam a few weeks ago, mentally hearted it, and planned to buy it online to spare myself from packing one more thing in my already jam-packed suitcase. It’s now sold out in most sizes—but not in mine—so I snapped it up (truth be told, I bought the matching sweater too!). Yesterday, at the Attersee trunk show, I tried on the “Feed Bag” belt—the kind of piece that would do wonders for literally anything: dresses, skirts, jeans, jackets, coats—basically the entire contents of my closet. And yet, I hesitated. I told myself I’d think about it. Then the hearts started rolling into my DMs after I posted it on Instagram last night. Apparently, everyone else saw what I was in denial about. Consider this my redemption arc: it’s now on its way to me. Plus, I am contemplating this, this and these for future pray-it-doesn't-sell out purchases. Can't stop, won't stop!!
