Unnecessary But Cute: 27 Things I Don't Need But Also Can't Live Without
At this point in my life, there really isn't an article of clothing I "need" anymore. Just ask my roommate. But that doesn't mean I don't go off the rails every now and again and engage in a massive shopping frenzy. Usually, the items I end up buying are unnecessary but cute, and today, I'm going to share the 27 that made the cut. Do I need any of the items ahead? No, I don't. But can I live without them? Honestly, I'm not sure.
You think I'm being dramatic, but when you see the jaw-dropping Paris Georgia matching set below, you'll understand what I mean. From feather-trimmed gloves to the vintage minidress of my dreams, I thoroughly hope you enjoy the shopping selection ahead as much as I do.
This top-and-pant set is quite literally the only thing I can think about right now.
I actually already own this and get so many compliments on it.
For $9, everyone can justify another chain necklace.
Something about that unique hem makes this skirt nonnegotiable.
Five words I never thought I would say: I need that T-shirt dress.
Find me a better pair of black trousers. I dare you.
