Lately, I've been thinking about the things I no longer need.
They could still be used, but they no longer suit me. The following items have served their purpose, and now it's time to say goodbye.
- A party dress I haven’t worn in years.
In my twenties, I was invited to several wedding parties for friends. But after the COVID-19 pandemic, such gatherings have become rare. Also, over the past ten years, my preferences and style have changed, so the dress no longer feels right for me.
It’s still in good condition, which makes it hard to let go. -
Faded black shoes and shoes that no longer fit
I love black shoes.
Two years ago, I bought a pair made of calf leather from a Finnish brand called Kalf. They were beautiful—but now, the color has faded and turned slightly green.I also have another black pair that has become too loose to walk comfortably.
When your shoes are neat, your whole outfit feels complete.
But these shoes no longer serve that purpose—they just don’t feel right anymore. -
A Watch That Runs Out of Battery Too Quickly
I have a watch that I bought about ten years ago, when I started working at my company. It’s from BERING, and I loved its casual, slightly masculine design. The light blue tip of the second hand was my favorite detail—it felt fresh and unique.
But now, the battery keeps getting weak, and I have to replace it far too often. It’s become a small frustration in my daily life. I think it’s time to look for a new one.
I’m ready to say goodbye—especially because I’ve found new ones that feel just right for me now.
- A suit for my child’s graduation ceremony
Some ceremony dresses and suits are available at Hokuou Kurashi no Dougu-ten, but I’m still searching for something that feels more like “me.”
To be honest, I’m not a big fan of formal styles—- I prefer outfits that feel natural and easygoing, even for special occasions.

A new pair of black sneakers and black slip-ons
While I haven’t found the sneakers I want, I’m excited to buy these slip-ons—they’re simple, comfortable, and easy to wear. -
A solar-powered watch
Ever since I saw it at Hokuou Kurashi no Dougu-ten, I’ve been thinking about it. And now, I feel ready to welcome it into my life.
This process reminds me that buying and letting go are both acts of intention.
I want my belongings to support the life I’m building—not just fill space.
And for the items I’m parting with, I want to say thank you—for being part of my journey until now.
Thank you for reading my blog. Have a nice day.
