*I HAVE TO CALM DOWN!* Luxury Items I'm NOT BUYING in 2024

[@ubiquitousflow]

The reason we never go to rehab is because we never need it! "Shop responsibly, my friends," *in The Most Interesting Man in the World voice*

Yesss!!! say it louder for the Karen’s in the back ! 😂😂😂😂🫶🏼

[@charlenelee2679]

I see a lot of influences just buying trendy pieces. It’s nice to see someone like Cassie buying pieces that she really likes and she knows she will wear all the time ❤❤❤❤

[@jaXDke]

Thank you for this! I also saw Alyssa Lenore's no-buy list and it's good to see creators like you guys doing videos like this, unlike the usual hauls and what-to-buy list that other influencers do. It's good to calm down a bit and enjoy what you have. :)

[@CassieThorpe]

🙌🏽💖💖

[@vanmax1363]

Black Blazers are an addiction like sunglasses. I just feel you can never have too many!

[@nicolethorpe6498]

I too went crazy with the basic. I told myself no more jeans, T-shirts, coats, or sandals! I would love to see a video of items you got rid of or sold in 2023 or thinking about selling.

[@CassieThorpe]

Noted!💖

[@comfynlux5695]

Me too why have I bought 6 pairs of jeans in the last 2 months and no I need no more coats and why have I been stalking them. I don't need anymore sandals or sneakers or BELTS! I am so glad I am not alone and I am closing my eyes

[@itsmeLori]

Growing up in NY has been a lifelong struggle of hunting for puffers every year and talking myself into and out of purchasing them with absolute certainty that every single one could be the perfect/last one I’ll ever buy. Lol

[@PartyCravey]

Hi beautiful how are you doing today ❤❤

[@radicalaccounting]

I'm limited by space, not physically but mentally. All this stuff takes up too much space in my head at some point. That point was last year. And since I'm an addict I declared a moratorium on shopping for 6 months. Lately Ive been buying what I absolutely need. It's a discovery process because this time has perfectly coincided with my tastes changing. But I stil llke shopping and showing outfrits from your closet works great too.

[@sheilacarlislepyreneesmom]

I so needed this video!!! Usually I usually buy myself a bag for my birthday in February. This year I have decided there is nothing I want or need currently on the market. May we all enjoy the items we have. Happy New Year to our Queen Cassie!!

[@CassieThorpe]

Glad it was helpful!💖💖

[@yoloyihi]

We love this conscientious shopping era for her! My shopping habits this year is definitely on investing in quality basic pieces. For a long time, it was the other way around - quality statement pieces, cheaper basics. But I find myself gravitating and appreciating a lot more luxurious fabrics and cuts for my everyday basics!

[@CassieThorpe]

Oohh interesting! I understand that though!

[@marygonzalez-pf7cb]

Oh God Ca$$ie we’ve got the same addiction 😮😂😅 Too many really good clothes and shoes 👞 😮👍🏽😺

[@JCScribe]

Cassie, Thank you for this smart and inspiring video (which I watched twice in a row)! It’s one of my favorites so far. I completely related to it. As a fellow New Yorker, I’d love to see more of your daily wardrobe decisions creatively pulling things together that you already own!

[@CassieThorpe]

I’m so happy you enjoyed it! 💖

[@missvicky3219]

I'm doing the no buying clothes for a year challenge. After moving and trying to fit all my clothes into the wardrobe I was stressed. Even though I thrift a lot, it felt I was starting to fall into bad spending habits because it was a bargain.

[@BeantownMrs]

I feel so called out by the puffer coats. I honestly have an issue with outerwear. I mean, I can justify it living in Boston, but omg, I don't need any more coats!

[@carinadipalermo7641]

I live in Chicago. I have 10 winter puffer coats. Im not kidding. Our weather is all over the place so I'm always ready for whatever Mother Nature sends our way!

[@shanaright]

Definitely feel the same, Cassie. When I’m looking for places to store things or purchasing more storage bins, I know that it’s time to slow way down!

[@CassieThorpe]

🙌🏽💖💖

[@mollypapazian4423]

Shoes, bags, clothing items.... cullin' the heard---preach it !!!

[@PartyCravey]

Hello dear how are you doing today ❤❤

[@pedjabrepedja]

Dear luxury brands please pay attention to this reasonable, grounded queen of influence, and give her contracts! 🌍

[@LeylaPeeran]

I love luxury handbags and new things and one of the best things I heard from someone was, "remember when you wanted what you have now?" Great words to live by. Thank you for your honesty and vulnerability. xxx

[@meaty7512]

Those Tiffany hardwear earrings are 🔥 😍😍

[@CassieThorpe]

Ahh thank you! I love them!

[@faithylou]

Couldn't stop staring at the eyeshadow for the whole video 😍

[@ChatsWithChris]

Gurl! I feel you on all of this. I flat put myself on a no buy this year after realizing I seriously started to buy every color epi speedy 25 ever made. I had to look at my eBay list and ask whats wrong with the one I've got?! I couldn't answer it! I have gotten lazy lazy lazy when it comes to using my wardrobe as well. Too often I find myself shopping for this event or that date or that meeting etc. ummmmmmm again whats wrong with what I've got? It's almost like I dont trust my former choices or something...something to consider.

[@AjniraBloom]

Lazy is my word as well. Thank goodness someone brought it up!

[@hautepinkrae8084]

With vintage you are going to find unique pieces because the people keep the classic silhouettes. I love vintage and so glad you are adding to your 2024 list!💫🤩🫶

[@VBoo459]

I love this, it’s like the Cassie version of a no buy year, “no more normal birkin” LOL. I’ve banned myself from dresses because I’ve bought so many the hubby says we’d have to move out AND I still haven’t removed labels from dresses I got in 2021. 😅

[@waterbearer4627]

A great general rule is if we give away or sell an item from our wardrobe then we can replace it with a new or similar item. This keeps us aware of how much we consume and mindful of the landfill issue that is on going due to excessive consumerism. The mantra from Vivienne Westwood "Buy Less, Choose Well, Make it Last. Quality rather than Quantity" is a outlook we should all adopt.

[@AjniraBloom]

I loved hearing the conflict your mind presented you. It is a discussion I think all of us fashion-istas need to have with ourselves. On one hand we become entranced with a piece or a look and we're captured, but on the other hand I think we just keep buying what we think is good at the time but given the pace of constant new styles and collections, true satisfation is a moving target. Thank you for sharing this. I need a dressing down as well.

[@melaniegreene]

Love this video. Made me think about what I need to slow down on buying for 2024 and really... I have 300+ pairs of earrings from fun plastic ones to fancy pearl and the like. I know I will not stop purchasing them but maybe be more intentional with the ones I do buy. Love all your earrings especially when you show off new brands. ❤

[@CassieThorpe]

Exactly! Thanks so much 🤩

[@radicalaccounting]

WOW, that's one a day for an entire year. When I see closets like botiques I think the same thing, how many days are there in the year? One can't wear that many clothes, or earrings. I mean don't you sometimes want to wear a pair more than one day?

[@kristindeltoro1948]

I lol when I saw the caption… I am right there with you and need to calm down! I think it comes down to the whole resale market for me. I jump to make purchases bc i start thinking about how much something would end up costing on the resale market if I miss the drop😩

[@CassieThorpe]

I know that thinking!! 🙈💖💖

[@Jiffypop]

When I was younger I wanted everything! Unfortunately, at that time, my rent and car payment took the lion’s share of my paycheck, but that didn’t curb my voracious drive for stuff. Now, my financial situation is vastly different and yet I find myself wanting less and less. I’ve become more thoughtful and deliberate with my purchases. It also helps that I know my style and what I will and will not use. I’m not spending less money necessarily, but I am buying fewer things. I no longer force myself to buy things just for the sake of buying. Honestly, it’s a relief. ❤️

[@haleyraschella3143]

Do you like the brand tuckernuck?! Please do a review?!

[@PartyCravey]

Hi dear how are you doing today ❤❤

[@Veronicagonzalez-sn1re]

I didnt know about the second Birkin. Did I miss a video ?

[@PartyCravey]

Hi dear how are you doing today ❤❤

[@evailla4345]

We are at the same point Cassie!!! I’ve been wildly buying stuff this autumm winter and there are clothes I even didn’t wear😢😢😢So no sales,passing the mails from Mytheresa,Fartfetch,etc etc….Cause it’s not only about the money is also the time I loose looking and looking for the perfect item….We have to be strong!!!!!!💪

[@cg99587]

I have buying guidelines for this year as well and mine is definitely rooted in being more thoughtful. I will always be a shopper but I want to make more conscious choices when I do so! Loved the vid 🤍

[@veronicasisto9501]

Queen Cassie! Be honest - is this just a video for YOU to watch before you go shopping this year?! 😉 If so, brilliant haha ❤️❤️❤️

[@CassieThorpe]

Yes that’s exactly what it is! 😂💖

[@melanieh7142]

I put sandals and coats on my no buy list too! We got this! 💪🏼😂

[@CassieThorpe]

We’re in it together!

[@x3completelyshort]

I’m also in a no buy space… I’ve gone wild and doing no buy bag for 2024 😭😭😭 idk how I’ll survive, but I’ll vicariously live through watching all your videos 🫶🏽

[@bimblaq]

I absolutely agree about collecting things & pressure we put on ourselves. I feel same way🫣 On repetitive clothing or basics, personally i don’t mind it.. Ozzy Ozbourne’s closet is full of same t-shirts & pants, which one can consider a uniform. If it works & makes one feel comfortable why not🤷🏻‍♀️😅

[@abma9623]

Those wandering eyes are because of your gorg face and glorious hair… and the bag. Giiirl, your face card will never decline! Yay to 140k subs! Let’s get that 150k soon!!!

[@CassieThorpe]

You’re too generous with the compliments!! But thank you 😭💖

[@vrob2918]

You can definitely rock your current closet! You have many wonderful things and a great sense of style. Cheers to a well-curated 2024! 🎉

[@BC-tl3hw]

Firstly, hope you're feeling better! Glad to see you back again ❤ I totally agree you can't have too many sneakers 😅 ... the two I ordered in the boxing day sales just arrived 😁

[@CassieThorpe]

Sneakers are always the exception 😉😂

[@4SlowFashion]

i don't know when this was filmed but NY is getting double winter stormed last weekend and this week lol the whole US is tornadoes rn. HWY 40 was closed on both the east coast and the west coast in the 'same' storm

[@stephaniep97]

LOVING your eye look. What are you wearing? The pink is the perfect shade

[@LA-dv4uu]

I’m literally getting rid of everything in my closet this year except for some accessories 🥲 need a fresh start but space is an issue for me too!

[@Magarita810]

You are the first person that has openly said they do not need the A - Z of Birkin bags. To be honest you can only carry one bag at a time anyway. Covid for me made me realise that I do not need stuff. Working at home meant I was wearing comfy clothes. I went to the states after 4 years of not travelling and only then did I buy new clothes. I buy good quality once a year and piece of expensive jewellery as a treat once a year on my birthday. No bags as I have quite a few designer bag I have rarely used. Shoes only if I need them, a coat once every 4 - 5 years and give the old one to charity. About to do a major declutter this week.

[@uu7794]

I understand that many influencers are selling stuff and are also sent stuff and get their money from that. Just feels soo many get the trend pieces ang things that aren't their personal style just because they feel they have to. And with many I don't even know what their personal style is!

[@rachelburbidge4450]

I have a wardrobe full of beautiful clothes that I cannot get into..so this year is a no eat year so I can rediscover my wardrobe but not going to Rehab as I have a house that needs a lot of work. 😊

[@Terrijoee]

I have also banned myself from puffer jackets. Last year I started making a conscious effort to make sure I use all my bags so I’m continuing with that. Lastly, I’ve vowed to not buy uncomfortable shoes.

[@evap9409]

Hi Cassie. What a great video topic! You have made me think about what I should NOT be buying this year… tshirts, sandals ( except if I can get a Chypre LOL), plaid shirts.

[@PartyCravey]

Hi dear how are you doing today ❤❤

[@raqibee]

I love that you're considerimg what you value most in your wardrobe, Ca$$ie. I myself am in a no buy January and taking the month to reflect, reorganize, reaquaint myself with the pieces that matter most and declutter what no longer serves me - gearing toward 80% classic / 20% trendy and clearing my space. Space is a luxury item all its own! We should be more thoughtful about what we consume, and in this case, we won't need rehab! 🙌🏽🤩✨️💚

[@the_aovision]

Speaking of blazers, most blazers off the rack are know including synthetic materials. What’s the highest price point you would pay for a wool blend blazer?

[@ellenmerkle940]

I can relate. I LOVE jackets and coats but I live in FLORIDA! Why is my closet full of coats?

[@CassieThorpe]

😭😭😭 we like what we like!

[@CatsInHats-S.CrouchingTiger]

Can I give advice?😁 The body will change and the size will no longer fit. Even with rigorous diet restrictions. I recommend using your blazers, enjoying them. It’s sad when you hold on to things, only to sell them with never wearing them! Time goes fast… 🥳enjoy your clothes… and your bags.💕

[@Merrinoel]

Loved this, Cassie, as I’ve been thinking through all these things this summer as well! You’re always so entertaining as well as informative! ❤

[@donnaharrell8278]

That PUFFER JACKET you want looks like it has a "C-COLLAR" attached! Just imagine the makeup transfer on THAT COLLAR!

[@PartyCravey]

Hello beautiful how are you doing today ❤❤

[@donnaharrell8278]

Actually my HUSBAND thinks i'm doing fine.@@PartyCravey

[@DrMammi]

Omg! Cassie these are all my thoughts! Was at LV yesterday and finally freed myself of the regret that I didn’t buy the yellow leather speedy for 7,500€! But I happily bought a coffee cup from Pharrell’s collection for my daughter and got myself a beautiful wool cardigan from the women’s section. And I was in a very happy place when I left the store!!

[@annelprospere3224]

Your makeup look very beautiful.

[@CassieThorpe]

Thank you so much!

[@KeaYang21]

Hello everyone 🤚🏽 I’m an addict of coats/jackets Not sure I can say I’m not buying even 1 this year. I honestly don’t need anymore

[@DesireeGonza]

Beautiful sweater and earrings. I also want to be intentional. I realized I have too many coats that I don’t even use. Thanks ❤

[@Kayellen]

Cassie…it has been a full year for me now on my luxury journey! I have a relative that loves luxury too… she has some Gucci pieces that she bought when she was single that I love! She married my nephew two years ago. They both are successful careers…The newlyweds had a great first year, and now they are expecting a baby girl in March. They were living in a tiny apartment, so they bought a house with a huge mortgage. (They live in California). They have two cars that are not family friendly. They are in love and excited to be homeowners and parents. She still wears nice clothes and wears her Gucci bag and shoes, but…there’s no new luxury purchases in the near future. Priorities change when she married and started a family!😊

[@zot2698]

love you Cassie, but one luxury item you should spend on 2024 is ....your "beg shelves". You have a wonderful collection but they are jammed packed behind there! Lol! If I was in NY, I would be very happy to help you create a kick-ass display and organize your beautiful collection!

[@ingridnh1]

What a great video! You have made some good goals for purchasing this year! It always about buying smarter for me. What do I have, what do I need and what do I want within reason?! Yes, our wardrobes are a curation of our personalities, which keep evolve over time. There of course is always room for a little must have surprise now and again! ❤😉

[@PartyCravey]

Hi beautiful how are you doing today ❤❤

[@TheBag-Lounge]

Cassie can you please do a video on fashion style. For example what you would consider yours. And 3 others and give some examples using luxe fashion brands so we get an idea how to find our style. I feel like I’m more casual and street wear but how can I pair my bags with it! Just a suggestion But love your style!

[@kathleenharris8824]

This definitely gives me pause to rethink my spending habits. Also, I need to look at my wardrobe. Do I have five of the same items in the same color?😅

[@mommymarz]

my anniversary is coming up in feb & initially i wanted a bag but seeing videos like this inspires me to shop in my closet & enjoy what i have that i’ve not used in a while. great video! 💚

[@chu_l0]

Have you seen the Zadig and Voltaire blazers with the strass ? I feel like you’d love those

[@wendypoo9914]

I LOVE this channel. I pressed on it by mistake. I’ve been here since Oct…

[@GailSilverman-vy5qi]

I love how you are explaining how your not going to buy items. Wishing you lots of luck!❤

[@susanhoch2677]

Thank you for rationalizing through your commitments to the personified relationships you have with the items on your list! I love it! I think I. The new year, it is good to be brutally honest with oneself. My husband says the same about me and the repeats of my clothing purchases that I don’t even realize! You have a great way articulating through what so many of us go through when buying items based on needs, wants, availability etc.

[@boujimobbin9530]

I have a puffy coat infatuation as well. Last year I was trying to buy an orange one and I was so sad I couldn’t get it in my size. I think I have prob 50 coats or more they are hard to resist I agree. I’m in Cali and I never even wear my coats really. I maybe wear windbreakers here and there so ya I need to not buy those either. Shopping I think is just visually exciting and I just enjoy the hunt and the capture !! I for sure enjoy shopping more then any other activity and I blame it on my mom for raising me in the mall everyday lol

[@mothermoon3873]

Great advice ❤ I love vintage bags and the “ hunt “ for the hard to find I enjoy ❤

[@Likklebit]

Hi Cassie, loved this video! You mentioned vintage pieces, could you do a video on this topic? What to consider when buying vintage? Etc.

[@Sayashy]

Cassie, congrats on lovely Geli, she is adorable. As a cat mum, I just want to warn you to change the placement of your wedding bag as it could accidentally be pushed down. Love you ❤❤🎉🎉

[@dragamboazulinqiacupuntura122]

I'm worried, this winter has been the warmest in I don't know how long! People here in Canada are still wearing sneakers because zero snow :(

[@dragamboazulinqiacupuntura122]

This year I've been pregnant so that has changed my needs and style. I said I wouldn't buy clothes that I would only wear a few times. But I had a wedding and ended up spending about 250 on accessories and also bought two pairs of shoes cause I did need comfort. Other than that no bags because I think I'm going to be a crossbody medium to large bag gal now but unclear yet and most of my bags are top handle. So sometimes life changes and it makes sense to not buy everything anew until the transition settles. If you're thinking of babies after marriage it helps having a phylosophy before getting pregnant on wether you want to spend on maternity wear or not (might make sense if you want more than one unlike me) now no pressure at all. I have been married 13 years before this first baby by choice so I enjoyed my couple only life quite a lot. I'm only mentioning it because it's been the experience of 2023 for me and 2024 will be a big change with a tiny human as well so I'm at a buying limbo currently and wanna wait until I feel more settled in my new lifestyle

[@lolipena8051]

i love this, shows a lot of growth. im on the same journey when it comes to clothes. after redoing my closet i realized too many clothes/shoes. this yr, trying really hard to not buy either.

[@acylmatoug190]

Is it just me or are you looking extra pretty today, the pink eyeshadow looks amazing on you I can't remember the last time you were wearing other colors then green, also the sweater long time no see. 😜

[@Restless318]

thank you this I was think about this for LV new collecation should I saw my money and buy from coach which I used more at more safe to used for work and school

[@kristinpenta]

Loved this video! I agree...it's good to slow down and be more reflective.

[@valeriec3484]

It is nice to spend time enjoying what you have too! Ps, I am dying for you to color coordinate your bags behind you!

[@mxb9083]

I'm on a strict no-buy in 2024. I have 7 pair of Birkenstocks (which I love BTW) and 8 Veronica Beard Blazers and saving up for the Millar Dickey in Navy and Black with Silver Buttons. I have to be stopped. I too have 4 Black Blazers (different fabrics - wool, linen, cotton blend, wool blend) all of which are tailored and I found myself getting into oversized Blazers and browsing The Frankie Shop website. I own a home in TX, these too much room. I had to sit down.

[@user-cm5tv3qg8o]

Carefully Curated collections are truly fashion in my opinion

[@adammarrero2399]

I just did my first luxury purchase! Louis Vuitton soft wallet trunk. Never going to rehab. If you could do more mens I would appreciate 😅😅😅

[@vharville2343]

Omg! I had to pause the video. That “jumper”/ sweater!! I love ❤️ it! Ok, back to the video 🤣 I am on a no spend (I think) for the year. Trying to go hard on my mortgage for one year. Your videos, probably, will tempt me.

[@appears2be199]

Ca$$ie is wild “I’m in a committed relationship with 3 other puffer jackets”. 😂

[@radicalaccounting]

do a lipstick video. How did you figure out the best color, how do you get it to look so perfect? I'm not even a makeup person, but we all admire excellence.

[@CassieThorpe]

Ahh I may just have to!

[@gayshastarr9160]

You are my absolute favorite influencer and kept me company over winter break. Look forward to M,W,Fs and more of your vids. Thanks from Seattle!

[@conniegerardi9845]

Hi Cassie!! Can yOU DIVULGE the brand name of those gorgeous patent close toe shoes with all the buckles u shown briefly upper left? Im in love with them!

[@Nuts.obsessions]

Shop sensible possibly one of the therapy in rehab 😅 Very well said video Cassie, I definitely need some self-reflection on my wardrobe and shopping habit too.

[@demetriusthomas885]

Yoooo- I feel the same exact way about collabs/limited edition and was just saying the same exact thing about LV- I think I am going get the slippers though- holiday flex...lol

[@Laurinaitis_5]

Can we see your sneaker collection?

[@PartyCravey]

Hello beautiful how are you doing today ❤❤

[@leannetaylor5661]

You know you’re in a great place when you don’t need anymore Birkin’s in your life 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻

[@PartyCravey]

Hello beautiful how are you doing today ❤❤❤

[@BuyLessJess]

I refuse to pay resale for anything. Why reward someone who buys a limited item (that they don’t want) to resell it NIB? Let them be stuck with the bag that they didn’t want.

[@sepultina]

Hi Cassie, have you sold your Gucci x Balenciaga hacker edition puffer jacket? What about puffer bandana print jacket from Krisjoy?

[@jaks_bag_attack]

So I feel that that black jacket no buy might be impossible, they are the same colors but not the same cuts

[@CassieThorpe]

😂😂

[@PartyCravey]

Hello beautiful how are you doing today ❤❤

[@comfynlux5695]

You hav described exactly what I am doing with handbags. I DONOT NEED ANYMORE HANDBAGS!!!! So I am limiting myself to no more than 4 this year unless something is special or after thinking about it I just have to have it. I've actually practiced that many times in the last 3 weeks. I am very proud so far. I did do one thing in 2023 that I promised and that was I wouldn't buy a bag over $3,000.00 that was not special. I am proud to say that number was ZERO!!!!

[@yanatovpeko2522]

Love this video and totally agree on everything🤭Thank you, Cassie!

[@karenmarks5333]

Agreed yes yes 💯 really hope you find some more lovely vintage bits . Happy New year lovely lady xx ❤

[@ianreject]

i lovvvve that ur on ur vintage journey 😭 so exciting

[@CassieThorpe]

Me too!!🤩

[@sams3015]

Interesting video. I wonder why common “schemes” do you think do and don’t work eg one in & one out or wishlisting (in the non Hermes way) etc

[@valerieblouch5409]

Coffee with Cassie!! ☕🇬🇧🇺🇸☕ So glad you're feeling better!! My goal in 2024 is to discard what is no longer working. Why is this so hard!? Does anyone have a mantra they use to make it easier? Help!😂

[@cherisebanks3337]

Loved this video I told myself this year 2024 that I was going to limit my luxury purchases because in 2023 I completely blew my budget so I’m trying to be more conservative but it’s a struggle 😅 because I want a speedy 20 from the Louis Vuitton dune collection and a damier pop speedy 25 from Pharrell’s collection and my fomo is kicking in big time 😅 so we shall see how this year goes with my low-buy year 🥴🥴

[@jmp_9945]

Just want to say hello from my little break from work. Hopefully you are feeling better now.❤

[@CassieThorpe]

I am feeling much better thank you! 💖💖
