- Using an older model of your phone, laptop, or tech gadget until it’s truly on its last legs
- Carrying stamps with you, for sending postcards or love letters everywhere you go
- Leather portfolios—from anywhere; Traveler’s Company, Louise Carmern, Paper Republic, Etsy, homemade—to archive your every thought and memory
- Fara Homidi compacts on your countertops and in your bag
- An aluminum tube of hand cream, toothpaste, or face cream, squeezed until the very last drops
- Having a signature pen
- Personalized stationery
- Shoulder pads and a nipped waist on a blazer—oversized, but not so large it swallows you whole
- Practical footwear—namely, square-toe heeled sandals; 3.5-inch slingbacks; kitten heels; and flip-flops
- Portfolio clutches for day to hold just the essentials: a journal, book, pen, lip gloss with SPF, and lip liner of the day
