As the year draws to a close, I typically reflect on my purchasing habits during the year. This year, however, I want to focus on the clothes I've worn and repaired, starting with this beautiful 1960s or 1970s Junior Aim skirt suit which was reclaimed by my bonus parents and gifted to me.
Unfortunately, when we took these pictures I busted the dress' zipper! So, it was whisked away to the tailor's shop pretty soon after I received it, but this wasn't the only piece I repaired this year.
I repaired not just clothes, but also shoes, vintage watches, my car, and even a wristlet.
What I repaired:
Clothes
•A trench coat I've had since 2011
•A tried and true blue J. Crew dress that I love
•A pink blanket that my grandmother sent that got eaten by the washing machine. I actually had enough punches in my Alyx Jacobs Repair punch card so it was repaired for free!
•My lucky red dress which I continue to bust
Shoes
•Erdem x H&M crocodile patterned leather kitten heels
•I repaired my Arizona Birkenstocks in LFK at Footprints. They needed new footbeds and heels. It was a wonderful repair experience!
•I repaired the heels on my Gucci Brixton loafers
•Shined and replaced the heels on my favorite Chelsea boot, and sole guards were put on my SJP Carrie Heels
Accessories
•Three vintage watches were repaired (Two needed new batteries and one needed a new movement)
•A Hunter for Target wristlet which I have wanted to use for years was fixed by my tailor!
•A vintage skirt that I busted during a photoshoot
•A yellow silk maxi dress from J. Crew
•My bonus mom Diana hemmed some St. Roche track pants for me, not once, but twice!

ModCloth has been apart of my life starting from those early days in middle school and high school where I was just starting to discover my own sense of style, to now where I have been trying to build a wardrobe of timeless pieces. I've always admired ModCloth's inclusiveness, having a style for every body, and their promotion of diversity.
