My first purchase
I’m so excited about my first Hermès purchase! I’ve been obsessed with the brand for years, but for a long time, I held myself back.
Growing up without much meant I became skilled at “online window shopping,” just following brands and trends from the sidelines. I have always been passionate about fashion and styling, but I perceived this as something to admire from afar rather than something I could ‘have’ or participate in.
I’m learning to accept that I deserve to treat myself, that my hard work and achievements are worth celebrating. It’s been surprisingly difficult to give myself permission, but I’m getting there.
So yes, it’s a very modest purchase by some standards. But it means something to me. It’s a small symbol of allowing myself joy without guilt (ok, well, maybe some guilt is still lingering there but I’m working on it).
