WAIT ! I have to have a list to participate? LOL. I bought almost an entire new wardrobe over the last 16 months because I "outgrew" mine. I also bought shoes and boots that were more comfortable and modern ( I outgrew some shoes and boots figuratively, whereas I outgrew clothing VERY literally, LOL ). I am still working all this to determine if there are any holes. Though this has been a weird Winter to figure that out, it has been so warm I don't know if I will ever need warmer clothing again...plus the fact that my meds give me UBER hot flashes.
But, here is what I am considering :
A Boden, menswear stripe cotton trench. I feel as if I have been waiting for this my entire life. All this talk lately of how to describe oneself and what you love to wear made me realize that I really like menswear inspired pieces. I also don't have a cotton trench for Spring/Early Summer. I have raincoats ( trenches ), but not a topper. I am also going to buy it immediately so that I don't miss my size.
I did notice that on chillier days, my cotton camis/tanks don't do it for me. I rarely wear sweaters because I get so hot inside sometimes, but a cotton cami doesn't offer me much warmth under a button down or popover...which I wore a lot. So I am going to try these super lightweight, merino wool Ts and camis. ( Smart Wool makes them too and they all get rave reviews.). Sometimes, I just want to wear a t shirt or a t shirt and vest, but then I freeze without a sweater but swelter with one.......I am hoping that this is the "cure".
Great thread !!! Thanks Una.
( I will be back later to read everyone else's and their strategies....yes, this was not my whole post...mwahahahaaa..)
