ChristelJ, I do not track wears.  The number of times I wear a piece isn't important to me.  I look at activities and whether I have outfits for dog walking, everyday activities, going out, yoga, etc.   Suntiger, I know.   The Birks are as fancy as I get these days.

It's always great to know what worked for people and/or if they wore their clothes or not! Great finds! I love my POMP shirts as well. I feel so fantastic when I wear them.

I don't remember if you track wears or not, but your method could work well for those of us who don't. One can still recognize the general usefulness and feelings about the clothes.

It's like someone is pre-shopping for me. I especially note the POMP shirts which are so simple and elegant. Thanks for sharing your shopping year with us.

Nothing beats perfect jeans with a great shirt, you are the master of knowing what suits you and selecting items that are absolutely right and not just close to the mark. Sorry to hear that the Lulu pants did not work, it is tricky when what was previously a reliable brand becomes a bit hit and miss.

Disappointing about the Lululemon pants - here they are super expensive but I have always thought comfortable and long lasting. Pleased you are starting to feel better.

Angie, I bought another sweatshirt a few weeks ago.  :)  Burnt orange. Tanya, the reviews for the C of H Annina are good.  I would buy another wash, but I have other things on my list. Thanks, Bonnie!   Angie on "Review of 2022 Purchases" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-of-2022-purchases#post-2312824 Thu, 09 Mar 2023 23:04:13 +0000 Angie 2312824@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'm also surprised the camel sweater did not work! What is off about it, Style Fan - the wrong shade of camel, perhaps?  SOOO glad you found shoes that work! I know how hard it is to find comfy shoes, so I'm thrilled for you!  Fun that the top pick denim jacket is a winner!  Sounds like you might need another sweatshirt Irina on "Review of 2022 Purchases" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-of-2022-purchases#post-2312822 Thu, 09 Mar 2023 22:41:55 +0000 Irina 2312822@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You made great purchases in 2022.  Surprised that a camel sweater didn’t work for you, looks like a slam dunk for your wardrobe. But as I found myself, the camel color comes in many shades and not always easy to figure out which would work especially when buying online.  Tanya on "Review of 2022 Purchases" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-of-2022-purchases#post-2312818 Thu, 09 Mar 2023 21:58:45 +0000 Tanya 2312818@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thank you for sharing, sounds like a good year style-wise. I am sorry you were not feeling well, hope that is improving. Thank you for the glowing review of the Anina jeans. I have read a bunch of positive articles about them online and was wondering if that was all true - sounds like it is based on your experience. Your new items all look great and I especially like your jeans.

Thanks for sharing them. Style Fan on "Review of 2022 Purchases" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-of-2022-purchases#post-2312815 Thu, 09 Mar 2023 21:42:29 +0000 Style Fan 2312815@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I am finally putting this review together.  Last year was difficult, but I am starting to feel better, now on to reviewing my wardrobe additions for 2022. In 2022 I purchased or was gifted 22 items.  Two of these were replacements.  I lost a white button-up shirt and stained a white tee in the summer.  I replaced these two pieces.  Of the 22 items, 9 were tops, 6 were bottoms, 1 was a topper, and 6 were footwear. Big Winners There were seven big winners. 1/  Citizens of Humanity Annina Jeans Initially, I was unsure about these jeans, but now I wear them several times a week.  They are my favourite jeans. 2/  Citizens of Humanity Calista Curve Jeans These jeans were workhorses last summer.   3/  BR Denim Jacket This jacket was one of Angie's top picks and was perfect for me. 4/  Birks Big Buckle My fancy sandals 5/  Finn Comfort Blue Sneakers Gorgeous blue colour, and the material is a lovely suede. 6/  Two POMP Button-Up Shirts My POMP shirts are always a hit in my wardrobe. 7/  Velvet Olive Cotton Gauze Top I only wear this under a jacket.  It adds something special to an outfit.  The v-neck is low, but that is okay for a night out. Workhorses There were six workhorses. 1/  Roots Olive Sweatshirt I am living in this. 2/  Finn Comfort Sandals 3/  Finn Comfort Black Sneakers 4/  Two Velvet White Tees 5/  Sorel Winter Boots Very warm and comfortable. Glad I bought There are five of these. 1/  Everlane Olive Cashmere Sweater 2/  Citizens of Humanity Paloma Olive Cords 3/  Blundstones - I have wanted to try these 4/  Harly Jae Pants  5/  Velvet White Button-Up is a replacement for a beloved shirt I lost. Disappointments There are three of these. 1/  Aritizia Camel Sweater This is a lovely sweater, but the camel colour does not work for me. 2/  Two pairs of Lululemon pants One pair stretched out, and the other pair's fabric was uncomfortable. Thanks for reading, and all comments are welcome.
