This column (which is never an ad and doesn’t contain affiliate links) will come at you at least every-other-week since we can’t really buy stuff right now!
Today we’re shopping local (to me). We’re shopping Black-owned. We’re shopping cultural institutions. We’re shopping at places we want to still be here when we can actually shop. (We’re also gonna swap sale tips and coupon codes at some maybe-horrible-who-knows-yet places at the end.)
I realize none of us have any money and maybe some of these sites will be gone before this even posts. Everything is a awful, so let’s at least look at some stuff that sparks joy and/or confusion.
Girly Dress from Common: was $68, now $28
House dresses and sweatpants and naked ONLY. While you’re on this site, buy one of these…
Knot Headbands: were $12, now $6
… because we’re never doing our hair again OR we’re shaving it off and growing it back out, which is a great opportunity for an out-of-work headband.
UOMA Boss Gloss Lipstick: was $22, now $7.95 (plus 10% when you join the mailing list!)
UOMA makes makeup for… wait for it… anyone who wants to wear makeup. I would like to wear all of this lipgloss, but not at the same time. Or would I?
50 Year Calendar, $16.99
This is the most depressing calendar and I want it. First, it only works for 50 years? Wow, bold assumption. Plus, it appears to begin in the year 2000 so it’s almost half-used up. Hurry! It makes sense that it’s already an artifact since it’s sold by the La Brea Tar Pits museum store. We must save museum stores!
Michelle Obama Paint by Numbers Set, $50
Your new mindfulness practice. Don’t complete your purchase without this earring that will make people think you are way cooler than you actually are:
Okoye Cuff Earring, $45
Paper Slip Knit Shirt: was $115, now $57.50
One of those tops that makes you go “HOW DARE SHE!” And it’s made out of paper, so you’re right.
Dress in Black: was $925, now $462.50
Ok, this is not at all a bargain BUT! It look like someone ran out of time on Project Runway? Right? Click through and look at the back.
