Featuring: Birds of North America Navy Crop Top
Purchased: Last Summer
Status: Sold on poshmark
Another item I’ve sold off and don’t own anymore. My blog is becoming less about what to buy and more about what not to buy. There were 4 crucial mistakes that were made in the purchasing of this top. Firstly, it was on sale. It was a size XL and it was a style I had seen on everyone and their cat on insta and thought it would look good on me. Lastly, I bought it in store on a whim instead of waiting and after careful consideration. I’m all for experimentation when it comes to your closet but seriously, I can do much better than this. Every time I put it on I felt Amish and tried desperately to balance the oversized fit I thought looked good on me in some distant universe. So this is the sad story of how Pat, once again, failed her closet. And it would not be the last.

Disclaimer: I actually think Birds of North America is a great sustainable brand. I am honestly commenting more on my process of buying this top vs. the quality of the item. It was also very easy to sell this top through a secondhand selling site because of the brand’s reputation. Buy from them! Just don’t do what I did and buy the wrong thing.
