I try a LOT of things. Some I love for a minute, some don’t live up to the hype, and some I wonder why I bought in the first place. But every once in a while, something makes it into that much smaller category of things I really use, really love and would absolutely spend my money on again. And honestly, I think that’s the best test of whether something was actually worth buying: WOULD I BUY IT AGAIN?
So I went through my closet, bathroom and around the house and picked five things that get an immediate YES. Some are inexpensive, some are definitely a splurge, and some I’ve had for years. Price isn’t really the point. They’ve earned their place because I actually use them—and knowing what I know now, I’d buy every single one again.
THE PANTS I CAN’T STOP WEARING
Of everything I’ve bought recently, these are number one on my list. I’ve worn them so many times—dressed up, dressed down—and every time I wear them, I get compliments. Always a good sign. The real proof? I loved them so much I bought them again in olive for fall. That last sentence is the money line. It literally proves “Would I buy it again?” YES—I already did.
THE TEE THAT CHECKS ALL THE BOXES
I loved the Sold Out short-sleeve tee so much that I had to try the long-sleeve version—and yes, you guessed it. It’s just as good. The fabric is yummy, the fit is great, and little details like the seam down the back make it feel more special than your average basic tee. It just checks all the boxes. And right now, while it’s still too warm for a sweater, I’ll wear it as a lightweight top layer. Definitely one I’d buy again.
