Total number: 14. 3 blazers, 2 coats, 1 puffer, 1 parka, 2 trenchcoats (one is waterproof), 1 leather moto, 1 leather bomber, 1 safari jacket, 1 denim jacket, 1 rainjacket.

This is no more than I need. wear at least 10 of these on a regular basis.

Parka (44)

Navy blazer (36)

Navy puffer (30)

I think this is a very good illustration of my climate. I need warm jackets a lot more than blazers, but a couple of good blazers are also essentials. My trenchcoats and my coats are next on my list. The denim jacket is also very much in use, and the stone moto.

Black leather bomber (7)

Safari jacket (2)

Gray rainjacket (0)

The black leather bomber is a placeholder for a better black leather jacket. I find it a bit hard to style, but in fact, I still like it quite a bit. The safari jacket is lovely, but our summer was so warm this year that I hardly wore any outerwear for weeks. The rain jacket is worn and I prefer my navy trench over it. Still, if I'm going trekking, I will need it. I would love to add a great coat for winter.

Total numbers: 28. 3 pairs of tall boots, 1 snow boot, 1 wellies, 5 booties, 4 sneakers, 2 leather oxfords, 5 pumps, 3 flats, 1 flip flops, 3 sandals, 1 metallic stripy sandals. For my climate, this is a fair number of shoes, but of course I don't need that many.

Birkies (40)

Black brogues Chelseaboots (35)

Cognac tall boots (30)

The numbers for the birkies, are this high because I count every wear, not only every day I wear them, like I do with everything. They have been a staple this season. However, when I packed my travel capsule, I picked a more refined brown sandal instead because I was going on a 14 day trip and only one carry-on, and I needed the most versatile I had. The Black brogues Chelseaboots were new last season. I think they look fab, but they show a lot of wear and I'm not sure they will last more than one more season. Not the best quality or such an expensive shoe. The cognac tall boots are smart casual with a medium heel and I think they are very versatile.

Blue Chucks (4)

Cork wedge sandals in suede nude (3)

Snakeskin flats (2)

I've kept my most dressy shoes out of this, as the number of wears will always be low anyway. My blue Chucks are a few seasons old and a tad faded, but I still love them. They stay until they fall apart. The cork wedges are great sandals for work wit a retro integrity, and I won't give them up just yet. I think my desire for a more minimal and modern style this season made me pick the birkies over those this year. The snakeskin ballet flats are very flat, and they are a tad too small. I think they are the next pair I'll purge. I'd very much like to replace the Sorel snow boots with a pair of waterproof winter boots in leather.

I have 10 belts, 8 bags and 20 scarves. The numbers are inconsistency collected, so I'm not stating the wears. What I know is that my snake patterned belt was worn to death last fall, but not so much during summer. I now reach for simpler belts in brown, black and navy. The Karen Millen tote and Danier bag have been workhorses this summer, as the Longchamp tote were last winter. So far this late summer/early fall I'm preferring the cognac messenger bag because of the color. I have a couple of clutches in black and white, and I don't need more because this kind of bag is not very practical for me. I want my hands free. The light blue cashmere scarf and the gray wool/silk scarf have been workhorses. I'm not wearing scarves as a styling element right now, I prefer a less textured style.
