I've just spent the last couple of days looking at plates in my spare time cus that's what it means to be an adult apparently. But it's fine because I needed to buy bowls anyway cus my current ones are too small and I've been putting it off

The problem it turns out, is that plate shopping is boring. Finding cute plates is not easy. Fun mugs and bowls existing in the plentiful so clearly curves are a better surface for creativity than the flatness of a plate. The majority of plates I found were just one solid colour or they had a bit of a design around the edge or maybe some embossing. And ideally I wanted some fun shapes and colours with fun all over designs in sets that were preferably complimentary rather than identical. I wasn't having much luck but here's some plates that passed some criterias

Starting off strong with some cute all over patterns but identical plates (I still want that strawberry plate, maybe some other time....)

Then we had some complimentary designs but still kinda boring and with no matching bowls

So next category is obviously cute and complimentary! But with no matching bowls again

The last one came in a few different colour options and I'm still kinda tempted by the first ones.....

But! The cutest category goes too....

I still really really really want these plates but I was trying to be a sensible, responsible-with-money adult and logically as a single individual I don't need a dozen different plates :(

My favourite plates however......

Were from anthropologie which is in america so I wasn't about to find out shipping costs on these. Particularly the flower plates that I'd feel too guilty to use

And the winners mainly for practically sake and because I've loved them every time I've seen them in store

Anyway that concludes today's 'ace gets excited by being an adult: plates edition' segment

Started the year with 5 plates and now my second to last plate just cracked halfway through so I guess I gotta stop procrastinating and actually buy new plates now

#ace is a mess #adulting #i restrained myself from getting the matching mugs to go with the tableware and some other cute matching mugs simply cus im a personal mugs #household typa person so the matching mugs would just be to give to the guests i do not ever have because i live in student halls #i might buy some more plates in the future though if i end up moving in to a flat with my bestie this summer 👀#in which case her opinion will be needed so im saving these plates with where theyre from for later so i might still be able to get some #i wanted some leafy/plant themed plates and there were not enough options >:( so although my chosen plates are identical rather than #complimentary they do have that plant theme i wanted as well as being suitable for every day use unlike the actual flower plates #the heart plates are cute though them with the daisy and strawberry one would make for fun decorative plates 👀👀👀#i want those cute shaped plates so badly but even the set of 4 wasnt convenient for pick up so i woulda been waiting like a week for plates #when im down to 1 i need plates immediately and the leafy ones were available to pick up the very next day so i have plates and bowls now 😊#theyre all in soak atm with my pumpkin mugs that i havent got round to doing cus i didnt want to wash them with dirty dishes when theyre no #dirty per say theyre just not clean enough to use cus theyre from the shop #i need to find pumpkin plates and bowls fyi #why are fun plates so hard to find like ive seen fruit shaped plates and that burger stack plates set and yet i couldnt find anything
