Lots of sartorial success here! In addition to luminosity, I'm generally noticing a 'fluid' theme in these looks (particularly the bottoms) - there's a certain level of ease that comes across as approachable (not to say that your pieces aren't tailored, but that they aren't overly stiff, if that makes sense?)

Also hard agree with @Dee RE: quality - I feel like some level of churn is inevitable these days, especially if we aren't buying exclusively vintage or handmade. I think so long as we're reflecting and doing better than before, that's progress.

Thanks, Zaeobi, and nice to see you! Hope all is well.

Great roundup, Suz. It's interesting to see that after your wardrobe refresh year in 2023 (with higher than usual turnover) you've returned to more typical numbers in 2024. I think that reflects a real self-knowledge about your style and wardrobe management -- even as those things are inevitably always in flux. Carry on!

Sarah, thanks! I'm not sure if it suggests that most of us need a major re-set every 8-10 years (due to lifestyle and other changes as well as fashion's vagaries...) or whether I should attribute it all to the pandemic. I neither shopped, nor edited very much in 2020/21 (except for gear), but eventually that meant some of the older stuff was well worn out by 2023 and I was actually in need (vs. just having the "wantsies") for a few categories of item, and I was well and truly bored of other well-worn but not yet worn out items.
