It is fabulous! I can't believe what good value it is. I actually thought about posting a forum PSA because Country Road only charges $10 for international delivery and with exchange rates etc it would cost most US members less than $50 delivered. So nice that it's 95% cotton too.

Did you do it all in one weekend? I did a clear-out of ill-fitting and unworn items, but the polishing etc. of shoes has not yet occurred ... I guess I have some plans now for this Saturday.

I noticed CR had some beautiful looking knit tops. Light colour tops (non print) is something I definitely could use a couple more of. Elizabeth P: Yep it was really productive. It was spurred on by the fact that we had a sudden weather change and I didn't have myself organised. Two days of bad, unplanned outfits and I was done. Also I have been working more lately and needed some extra work appropriate gear.  Brooklyn on "Some major wardrobe action." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-major-wardrobe-action#post-2011539 Tue, 12 Mar 2019 11:22:47 +0000 Brooklyn 2011539@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Well done! I got this top from country road which is similar to the BR one that Angie recommends but it’s got a higher cotton content and an interesting texture. Cheaper too! It would make a nice neutral “essential” for you too (ivory, black or red). Elizabeth P on "Some major wardrobe action." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-major-wardrobe-action#post-2011537 Tue, 12 Mar 2019 11:21:07 +0000 Elizabeth P 2011537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Sounds like a very productive week!  I hope you can upload pics, it would be great to see what you bought and created. jussie on "Some major wardrobe action." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-major-wardrobe-action#post-2011533 Tue, 12 Mar 2019 11:07:01 +0000 jussie 2011533@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Well fabbers it’s been a huge wardrobe week. I’ve passed on 4 sweaters and my everyday leather bag due to old age. Theirs, not mine ;). I purchased: 1) replacement everyday leather bag, Beautiful piece. Must look for a find a bit later. 2) 2 neutral tops: 1 navy and 1 black. I forced myself to do this because I was running low on neutral tops. 3) polka dot cropped culottes. FUN. 4) uniqlo grey merino knit short sleeve top. 5) uniqlo grey plaid midi skirt. 6) Cos yellow and grey warm wool pullover. 7) Cos black skinny jeans. I sized up so they’re slim on me not skinny. THEN I.... 1) polished all my shoes and leather bags. 2) did a massive outfit creation session. 3) ironed everything in the ironing basket. 4) pulled my winter coats out ready to wear. Packed away my high summer things. 5) bought some superglue and glued the bow back onto my bow-toe ballet flats.  Phew. A big job in all but I thoroughly enjoyed it. One insight that come to me is I’m going to embrace black and other neutrals a little more this winter, as well as layering pullovers under chunky cardis or light jackets. This will enable me to reserve my puffers for TRUE winter only... and not the shoulder seasons. Thanks for reading gang, I will upload some finds and outfit pics ASAP Ooh here's one of the tops. <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.davidlawrence.com.au/clothing/tops/166/shiloh-silk-collar-top/25065/?clr=INK">https://www.davidlawrence.com......5/?clr=INK</a> and the polka dot culottes  <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.portmans.com.au/shop/en/portmans/bottoms/pants/button-up-culotte?colour=SPOT">https://www.portmans.com.au/sh.....olour=SPOT</a> Plus the Uniqlo skirt I have is in a slightly darker grey colourway than the Find, and the merino top is identical but short sleeved.
