Hello Fellow Fabbers

As you probably know I track my wears and have been doing so since 2021. Although I don't in deep winter, really not necessary as I have a very straight forward deep winter uniform of Turtlenecks, warm pants and puffer jackets.

What has emerged from the tracking is that the items that get worn most often all fit me to my liking. What I call the drape and shape of an item which mostly applies to tops and dresses. If said item is not too tight or too baggy, in other words a good fluid fit that helps camoflage any tummy bloat and if a top sits at the most flattering spot for me, a little lower than my hip bones, than these items get worn repeatedly, regardless of colour or pattern. So clearly this is the most important factor for me for an item to become a workhorse. There are other factors like fabric content, and so on. But drape and shape takes number 1 place. Going forward this will be my most important consideration when adding items to my wardrobe, and together with favourite colour and/or pattern I should ultimately have only pieces that are worn regularly and loved.

Is this as important to anyone else?
