I Just Moved—These Are the Fashion, Beauty, and Home Items I Purged
Very obvious statement: Moving is hard, and I can honestly say that one of the most difficult things about it is the whole packing and unpacking aspect of it. And having just moved myself, I'm here to give a bit of my own perspective. Although I was fortunate to be moving into a bigger space, I still felt the need to really weed out all of my stuff, as the last thing I wanted to do was fill up our new house with a bunch of stuff I was never going to use again. And since my clothing and accessories, beauty products, and home décor items are probably of the most interest to you (just a hunch), that's what I'm focusing on.
By the time we moved out of our apartment, my husband and I had pretty much given up on keeping things neat and organized, so it was admittedly hard to even see a lot of what we had. And yes, it was slightly miserable going through every little thing, but I relished in the opportunity to finally put a few things in the donation pile. Scroll away if you're preparing for a move yourself or just find yourself in need of a little weeding out (i.e. all of us).
PURGED:
Light-wash skinny jeans
Round-toe heels
Tunic sweaters
Ultra-short skirts and dresses
Pilled sweaters and coats
Stretched-out bras
Old graphic tees
Colorful printed leggings
The shoes I wear on a daily basis—sneakers, ankle boots, simple flats, etc. were a no-brainer to keep.Light-wash skinny jeans feel dated to me, so they didn't make the cut. Straight-leg jeans like these, on the other hand, will likely be cool forever.Given how often I wear cropped cardigans and sweaters with high-waisted jeans, they made the cut. On the flip side, tunics are a sweater style that didn't.Camel coats are beautiful, versatile, and timeless.I may not be into super short skirts and dresses anymore, but I love a pretty slip skirt.I got rid of quite a few old graphic tees, but not my beloved white T-shirts.Simply put, a midi dress always feels appropriate.
Those tops that I actually look forward to wearing (even when they're not new) are a staple IMO.I'm hanging on to my classic accessories (winter and otherwise) for as long as possible.
PURGED:
Expired sunscreen
Cosmetics more than two years old
Foundations that don’t match my skin
Cheap makeup brushes
Products that just didn’t work for me
Unused travel sizes and samples
Separated nail polishes
Highly effective Vitamin C serums like this highly effective one from Tatcha are an everyday essential for me.My dry skin drinks face oils right up, and I always use them up prior to expiration.I've yet to find anything as miraculously effective for lash and brow growth as the Revitalash products.Verb's Ghost line does everything you want from an everyday shampoo and conditioner and more. My hair always looks better after using it.This is the perfect body lotion. It sinks right in sans stickiness and makes skin feel incredibly soft. Plus, the packaging is so chic.I find cream eye shadows to be the most natural-looking, so that's what I always find myself reaching for.While I did get rid of some old, rarely worn fragrances, my go-to scents for every day aren't going anywhere.At 35, retinol is very important to me, and this Shani Darden formula is a permanent fixture in my medicine cabinet.Bold cosmetics are a bit of a tough sell for me but wearable items like my trusty collection of nude lip colors made the move with me.
PURGED:
Matchy-matchy furniture
Old, cheap picture frames
Store-bought art
Dated décor and lamps
Threadbare bedding
Discolored towels
I kept all of my storage bins when moving, and have found ways to repurpose all of them, so I highly advise hanging onto them, even if they are kind of bulky to move.I've realized since moving into a house that you can really never have enough vases, bowls, and decorative items to fill blank spaces.While I may not have room in my budget for original art right now, fine art prints are a huge step up from store-bought art.Uprise Art is a great place to jumpstart your art collection.The last thing you want when contending with new furniture is ring marks... Take my advice and lay coasters everywhere that a drink may make its way to.While your new home may not feel like yours right away, candles will instantly make it feel familiar and cozy.You can't go wrong with Diptyque Feu de Bois...I've only recently discovered the joy of plants, but the comfort they've brought me since moving is vast.Believe it or not, dried flowers can look incredibly chic. I don't even miss fresh flowers.
If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
