For me, it symbolizes a collective global desire for comfort — think of the palette of some favorite comfort foods like chocolate and coffee. As you might guess, I like to combine these sweet little treats with my hobby of secondhand shopping. That makes it easy to add some soft comfort to your wardrobe and home without breaking the bank or buying something new just to fit a trend.

One of my absolute favorite things to buy at the thrift store is winter coats. Growing up, I always hated how I had only two choices in winter coats. I would have to cover up my different outfits with the same thing every day. My parents would buy me a ski jacket for outdoor activities and a dress coat that I would wear for church and school.
