I agree with not counting things like socks and tights.

Glad you kept the Athletas-they're the best! To me they'd count, since they're really pants-and $$$, but socks nope!

Thank you, Anchie!! I got grease on it today at work! I am mortified of my carelessness and am trying to clean it up right now.

Anchie and Janet -- I realize that many people would not count socks and athletic gear. But when I defined my original challenge at the start of the year, I committed to 36 items. Everything would be counted except underwear and hose. I would count bras, sleepwear, gear, and lounge wear. For the time being, I am sticking to that resolution.

Suntiger-- they ARE the best leggings I have ever experienced. I had no idea that there was such a difference between products. AND pockets. I will NEVER buy leggings that don't have pockets ever again.

Thanks for staying on track with this challenge, Sterling. Good luck with the stain on your bag!

I added 5 more items to my wardrobe in February. I’m above my monthly average so far this year as my goal is to add 48 items. I bought 6 in January. I’m not worried yet as winter is my dominant season. From this point on I should be averaging 3 per month if I stay on track, we’ll see!

I’ve realized that I like to do a winter refresh in Jan./Feb. partly because I can get some items on sale, partly because by the time the weather turns in ernest in late October/early November, I’m usually into holiday buying, leaving less time and money for wardrobe additions.

I’m very happy with my 2019 additions so far. I anticipate I’ll reach 30+ wears on all of the items.

Hi Kerry! I ADORE everything you bought! In fact, I shopped every single one of those items. Obviously, you have great taste.
