This comment is gold 🥇
@@shawnaripari 🤣 perfect
Shawna's candor is refreshing. I also recently came to the conclusion, reviewing all my Poshmark purchases since 2020, that 9 times out of 10 the deals aren't worth it. It's better than splurging at a designer boutique, but it's still mostly a waste of money and closet space. Once I admitted that to myself, I got better about abandoning my cart.
I totally agree!! Poshmark is good if you know your size in a specific brand and are looking for something specific. I bought these floral Keds that are super special and were limited edition. My only 2023 posh purchase was astyle of pant I wanted from everlane and i already knew my size. Barring those exceptions, it a typically not a good idea. I knew that at the time as well. It really wasn't about the stuff
I relate so much to spending too much time thinking about, searching and finding clothes (aka obsessing). I hate that even more than the money spent. Because I stay within my budget.
Yes, obsessing over every purchase can be a real time-suck. I didn't have that money to burn last year, so it's not like the money didn't matter. My obsessing was just a way to validate bad purchases
@@shawnaripari time and money are both valuable resources so I relate to regretting messing with both 😢
The "did anyone say shopping" shirt made me lol so hard. But seriously, I continue to be wowed by your self awareness with every video. ❤
I think about this all the time 😂
OMG girl I can spend $500 on clothes in a single quarter 😭This video was a wakeup call, ty for this lol
I've done that too 😅I was trying to be intentional and this was delulu
I’ve bought $150 of makeup in 1 go off Reddit and $250 on Mercari once for sold out hyped stuff. It’s not really worth it. Sure the bundle deals were deep discounts overall but it was definitely some unchecked hype goblin in me that was taking over instead of me from 2 months later that thought those products were definitely nice but overwhelming to all bring in at the same time, and I want to declutter 75% of them anyway now 2 years later. It’s like… I want to return products I get to try on in Sephora 40ish% of the time, and for online stuff it’s even higher because it’s impossible to see things the same way. I shouldn’t buy online on the most part especially if there’s no return policy.
So true. It takes actually trying items to get an idea if you'll like it 👀 online shopping is like lottery
basically the same. I've bought stuff in the past specifically because it had no return policy so I HAD to keep it. Not a great choice
Ah so relatable. I completed a no buy year last year but had a small clothing budget for needed items, and I have already decluttered probably half of what I purchased in 2022. I did find some great jeans which I desperately needed, but notably I purchased a pair of hiking boots in like February 2022 for whatever reason and I still have them but have never even tried them on. I also purchased a pair of new sneakers for the gym, which I similarly kept in their box without trying on until two weeks ago. Finally tried them on and I hate them 😂 by the final quarter of the year I was basically purchasing nothing and continued that way until end of March this year when I started a crazy spending spree that continued until early May. Still reeling from that because it was so recent. I do still stand behind most of what I bought as good purchases for me (though we’ll see how that holds up in about 6 months’ time), but I bought it all so quickly and got carried away with the high of finally allowing myself to purchase new things. Needless to say, I blew my budget out of the water.
I feel so called out here. 😅 i was trying to do a low buy this year. Budget was supposed to be $500 for the year solely on clothes shopping. Needless to say, I’ve failed already 🥺 I just love thrifting too much. It brings me joy & it’s like therapy.
I do understand i have enough but I’m always thinking about the hidden gems I can possibly find 😩
I catch myself falling into spending sprees. I didn’t realize I was experiencing FOMO until I watched another creator mention it. I also realized it’s almost an obsessive tendency.
Anyways, I start therapy next month 😅
P.s i was keeping track of all my purchases in a spread sheet. I don’t even want to make the calculations of what I’ve bought over budget.🫣
@@yazzybananas3106 I feel this. No buys/low buys are hard, especially in the beginning! I’m actually in school now to become a therapist, so I hope it goes well for you and that you find what you need, even if it’s not what you expected in the beginning. And don’t shame yourself too hard for overspending, it’s all part of the process ❤️
thank you for sharing your experience 💕
This should be a public service announcement!!!
👀👀👀👀
I have an essay deadline on Sunday and me and essay deadlines are mortal enemies. I don't feel well and I have such a desire to purchase, to cope in that way., But I'm forcing myself to cope in other ways. I've been trying to eat healthy lately but I think I will allow myself to snack more until my deadline. At least snacks are cheaper than makeup and clothes.
I hear this!
I like trying current pieces on in store and then thrifting them. I did this with a number of dresses so I knew what size I was and how it looked on me before ordering their cheaper, sustainable second hand version 💪
what a win!
This video once proved me why I always click a video you post, even when topic does not look related. Cause I love your approaches towards habits, actions in the manner of human psychology, there is always reasonings and results. I love closing every video with a good outcome 💙
Thank you for this wonderful comment 🥰
Not to play the apologist but I feel like that “going overboard” experience on Poshmark and the like is so relatable. I’ve definitely been burned by Poshmark purchases-or perhaps we can reframe those as learning opportunities 😅
Also, I soooo remember when you got locked in on the corset idea! I vaguely remember leaving a comment trying to gently discourage you from going there-boy, that’s relatable too! To be fair, I do think that taking risks with style can pay off sometimes! Kudos to you for delivering a very vulnerable video ❤
Yes, style risks can be worth it, but the corset was very much style stupidity 😂 i had almost no good intentions buying it, I just wanted to buy things and that was Infact a thing I could buy. I do appreciate your attitude on this though!!
@@shawnaripari here’s hoping you’ll remember the corset the next time a particularly enticing trend piece crosses your path! 😅 I do wonder about the psychology of trends, how we get mentally converted into thinking we like something through mere repetition-if you see corsets or whatever it is so many times on your feed that you start to think, Oh yeah, I definitely need that! I think I heard someone give the advice of questioning whether you would actually wear that fit, or if you just think the person wearing it looks good in it or that the picture itself is just aesthetically pleasing 🤷🏻♀️
i too, have had a poshmark problem in the past. It was crazy!! I had to remove the app from my phone. I did get some good gems, but with that came a ton of duds too. I regret over half my purchases. I love your make up today. The shimmer shadow is beautiful on you!
I want uninstall the app so bad! But I can’t because I also resell my clothes on there. Instead, I removed most of the notifications. Unless I get an offer from someone or sale notification. It’s gotten somewhat better for sure. I just need to break the habit of opening the app just to scroll mindlessly while on the 🚽 😅
@@yazzybananas3106 yes! it got so bad for me I just took everything I hadn't sold yet and put it as "not for sale" and maybe one day when I have some self control I can open my shop back up. haha
literally me
thank you so much!! I feel you about your perspective...sometimes that one gem gets you second guessing if you should reinstall the app or make a purchase 😬
Poshmaaark nooooo! Poshmark has FOMO built into the platform.
Yep 100%
Wow! What an honest & helpful video. Thank you!
Thank you Cindy 💗
I just bought $200 worth of uniqlo shirts (for me and husband) after saying i’m gonna do a low-buy August 🙃 trying to recover now
This no return policy thing is why I only buy things on Poshmark or Mercari that’s a duplicate of something I already own, like the same sweatshirt in a different color or my same worn out sneakers that I need to replace. Especially if it’s long been discontinued, cause ya girl ain’t got time to go into a comparison shopping trance between all the retailers and brands for the new worse quality stuff, I would rather repurchase discontinued clothes sometimes.
I love clothes from a few years ago. The sizing and quality is often better, too.
Yes, exactly. When I'm in the right frame of mind I typically use posh for brands I already know my size. I bought a pair of everlane pants on posh a few weeks ago and they were perfect. 10/10 purchase!
My regrettable purchase of 2022: $700 on a bike I used TWICE (I much prefer the bike I ALREADY had) 🤦🏽♀️ my friend may buy it off me this summer, but still…big goof up on my end
Thank you for sharing 💗 hopefully you'll get a positive ending from this
@@shawnaripari thank you! I hope so :)
Shawna that shirt was $8 but $24 after shipping and tax!!?? That’s ridiculous! I don’t know if Mercari has a Canadian website or app but I know eBay does, both of which offer cheaper shipping!❤😊
Can you cut the uncomfortable sleeves off? The shirt is really pretty funny!🤭
I love the sleeves 😭 the whole shirt has taken on new life because of this video!! She is now iconic
@@shawnaripari she is eternal and we stan! 😍
i kinda regret 2 items from a bundle recently since i didn’t like the way they fit on me 😭
I buy only from stires, to enjoy the toching of the fabrics and seeing it on my body. Also I want them to enjoy the money for the experince they are giving me. Also I think it is better for the enviorment instead of all the shippings and packages for each person. But that's just my thoughts:)
@@amandak.4246 I am sure, but may be all in one box instead of a loy of small ones. Also maybe just one truck indtead of many trucks, and so on...
this was soooo interesting for me, I think I'm just nosy LOL. And as soon as the video started I was like hey I remember that shirt! I think I was a hot mess that day as well, but for completely unrelated (Taylor) reasons 😅
also not to be the annoying Plato's Closet pusher that I am but this is why you need to go to Platos!!! hearing that you have to pay for shipping on each individual item hurts my soul. and the fact that you don't know if something will fit/look good on you ahead of time? fully why I can't shop on Poshmark
Ok sorry I'm back... that corset was so cute omg. Also I love all of the skirts!! I hope you're able to make use of them one day :)
YES i very much remember that!! I will never forget that day, pure chaos, very iconic.
I hope so too! The skirts are very cute I just need to wear them 😂
Poshmark is just a bad idea if you don't already know your size in a brand you trust or you're buying something really expensive, or something like a bag where you don't need a size. Your Plato's is so fire, its 10/10 would recommend to a friend, hopefully we go back.
I've done it in 2021 with vinted (European poshmark)
Me too. The difference is, that you buy from individuals and the prices as well as the shipping are relatively cheap. I tend to not buy above 10€ per piece I think I really like and if it doesn't fit I list it again with a small loss. Other second hand platforms are way too expensive, they almost charge as much as new (at least fast fashion prices).
This is not a top 😂😂❤
I bought two advent calendars last year spending over 500 on basically products I didnt want and Im glad I have some of them but definitely not all of them🥲 so this year I really cant do that again😅
you can do it!!
This video was so real 😅 glad I’m not the only one with a poshmark problem 🫠
You're defs not alone Yazzy
