I walked into Target last week looking for new sheets because mine are five years old and threadbare, yellowing along the edges from too many washes. I ended up holding up this buttery sage green set, feeling the fabric like it was a small rebellion against my old beige ones from my marriage days. The tags said it was two hundred dollars, which made me laugh because that’s what I spent on a single dinner with my ex two years ago.
I put them back. Not today, not yet. What’s your favorite non, practical purchase that felt like a little victory? The kind that didn’t come with an occasion or a receipt for filing taxes? I need the softest yes from someone else before I cave and make it mine.
