Physical warmth
Years ago, I bought a pair of Acorn polyester fleece slippers, and wore them a lot. After a while, I stopped wanting to wear polyester fleece anything, and they sat in the closet while I walked around in my socks all winter. This year I finally admitted I wasn't going to start wearing them again and got rid of them.
(I'm seeing posts about decluttering popping up all over. I've been gradually getting rid of things ever since a friend of mine moved to Europe a few years ago. "Would I take it overseas?" is a whole different way of looking at Stuff.)
Somehow getting rid of the old slippers made room for the idea that I would like to wear slippers, just not those - maybe I could get wool ones! I poked around online and semi-impulsively ordered these in charcoal. I was very pleased to find a 30% off coupon code for the site I ordered them from!
Pink and red embroidered flowers aren't usually my style, but these make me smile every time I see them. I even like the sparkly beads at the center of the flowers. And they're cozy warm, too. Perhaps I needed some brightness as well as warmth.
I have some internal conflict about spending money on things like this, but I think this is going to end up being a good exchange of dollars for comfort.
