#1 this merlot puffer (LE) is perfect for me and the life I lead. It keeps me comfortable on the coldest of days, is light weight and easy to move in. The neck and pockets are lined with soft fleece. There is a convenient internal chest pocket and two way zipper. The colour is saturated and rich. I wear this coat all-the-time.

# 2 the cream micro puffer (Uniqlo) is a repeat of a 2 yo golden beige puffer. It’s my version of a cardigan and in constant rotation.

#3 Levi’s 721 jeans. I stocked up early in the year and clocked 49 wears for the white jeans, 16 for the second pair of white jeans I decided to make into cutoffs, and 86 wears for the blue jeans (I have 3 in rotation). I picked up the straight cut 724 jeans (17 wears), but it is the 721’s I reach for.

#4 Denver Hayes V-neck t-shirts (men’s) 15-20 wears documented for each of the 4 colours. (My older lilac v-neck saw 15 wears.). I guess I’m a jeans and t-shirt girl after all…

#5 …but not 100% of the time! The LE navy and white button down saw 15 wears (the white one 8). I had the white version in mind when I shopped, and the patterned one was an afterthought!

#6 cream, blue, brown flannel bought in October, but worn 12 times before the end of the year. A cream, pale blue, and grey version has slightly less wears at 10 in 2021. I project high wear numbers for these two!

#7 floral sneakers (NoBull) comfortable out of the box, and perfect for my fussy feet, these inject a bit of fun into outfits made up from solid colours. I picked up a second pair (black) and DH and DS#2 own two pair each.

2021 saw a refresh of about 1/3 of my closet, and I’m quite happy with the new additions. Some older items: white cut off RL jeans, brown plaid moto pants, yellow floral hoodie, green merino sweater, dark floral turtle neck, black pea coat - continued as favourites, registering high numbers of wears in 2021 as well.
