Suntiger, I'm so glad they are working out for you

Hi, I have been away for a long weekend. Of course I love this post!
I counted my January number of items for you: 29 different clothing items and 11 pairs of shoes. Remember this is high summer, equivalent to your July.
So, that’s 40 different items in a month. As you know I have a larger number of wardrobe items to choose from. I obviously still like variety!

Interesting to read! It sounds like the capsule concept is working for you.

I agree with your numbers of tops vs bottoms, and outerwear.
