November and December Purchases

I am beginning the new year with a look back...

... back on my purchases from November and December 2015. I am very happy with my purchases from those two months since I bought almost exclusively second hand with the exception of one top from an ethical brand (Hess Natur). Hence, before the year came to an end, I managed to meet my goal not to buy from any "bad brand" but only second hand or from sustainable brands. Yes! A good end of the year :) 

So here is what I bought in November and December:



A grey jeans and a grey coat both from Esprit, both second hand. I am afraid that I forgot how much exactly I paid but I think it was 30 for both pieces. 
I wore both pieces A LOT. A lot means that I am wearing the coat almost every day and the jeans became one of my favorite one. I wear it around once a week. I wore both pieces on the blog here


A high waist skinny jeans from Pull and Bear. I didnt know the brand before, I got the jeans second hand for 10 euro. I wore it a lot since, but somehoe it did not yet make it on the blog - I am sure this will change soon :) 


I bought loads of cardigans in November and December... like really a lot! They are all second hand and I paid between 10 and 20 euro for each of them (80 euro in total for 4 cardigans and 1 woolen sweater dress). They are all H&M except for the white and black one on the top picture to the right which is from Zara. I wore all of them a lot, am wearing one right now actually, and two of them made it on the blog: here and here


The sweater dress became one of my favorite ones too. I forgot to take a picture of it but I wore it one the blog here and I wear it a lot with leggings only when I do feel like wearing something comfy and cozy :)  



This one was a sale found. I got the blue top from Hess Natur on sale for 40 euro. It is made from silk and hemp and I did not wear it yet because it obviously is a piece to be worn in Summer. I love the material and the oversized shape and I am looking forward to wear this special top when its getting warmer again. 

I spent a total of 160 € which is slightly more than my average (looking back at the past 12 months). However, I think 80 euro per months is still good. For 2016 I may have to go down a little since there is quite some travelling planned which needs to be paid. And travel always goes before clothes! At least this is how I handle things ;) 

When I now look back at all my purchases from 2015 I have to say that my shopping behaviour really improved throughout the year. In the beginning of the year I bought quite a few pieces that I rarely wear and that are not ethical, however later in the year this changed and I bought more and more conscious and sustainable. I am happy about these posts since they really helped me improving my behaviour as a consumer in this world where we all vote with our dollars.

Are you happy with your shopping behaviour 2015? Are you happy with everything you bought and with the amount you spent? I would love to know!

Sending much love!

  1. Great choices! I really like the coat (so my style) and I love skinny jeans, I love jeans in general, but skinny ones are my favourites:) When it comes to shopping, I really dont spend much on clothes, I think in the last 6 months I bought stuff only in second hands like some comfortable, cute sweaters or summer tops and skirts. For sure I spent more on cosmetics, some jewellery and most important - books and good food:) That's true that its a bit weird after Christmas, suddenly is so calm:P But on Wednesday we have another catholic holiday, so its one more free day:) Have a wonderful week, hugs:)))

  17. These are such lovely finds! I have been hoping to come across a nice sweater dress, they do look super cozy. I think last year, most of my clothing purchases were from thrift stores, which feels really great to say. One thing I would like to do this year is become more familiar with brands that are ethical, because I don't really know many right now.

    Du kannst wirklich sehr stolz auf Dich sein, Du hast Dir super schöne Sachen für wirklich absolut vernünftiges Geld gekauft und außerdem noch Deine Vorsätze eingehalten. Mir gefällt alles sehr gut - mein Favorit ist der Mantel und ich wundere mich gar nicht, dass Du ihn so oft trägst.
