ESSENCE TEAM: What's In Your Cart

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready…

The ESSENCE team has been doing some spring cleaning to align ourselves with what we wear. Now that we’ve stripped our closets bare down to the essentials and necessities, the wishlists have grown immensely. Styles change as time goes by, and we feel like a completely different person than we were in winter and far from the person we were last spring. So, it’s only fitting that the whole team feels like a shift in how we dress is the right move.

The team’s carts have been filling up, and some have been waiting it out for a sale or two before hitting checkout. But, if things sell out before we can get to them, it’s probably for the best since feeding into this shopping addiction isn’t the best move. We’re choosing to be selfless (and financially sound) and share what’s in our carts.

Take a look below at what we haven’t hit checkout for yet.
