A few weeks ago, I posted about my upcoming temporary move to the UK. Many thanks to your earlier comments, I thought hard – and hopefully realistically — about the range of styles I’ll want to have and the activities/scenarios for which I’ll need them.

The palette relies strongly on black, white, and navy, with a bit of support from richer neutrals like camel/ochre/nude/metallic. You can see almost all of the pieces in my "collections": https://youlookfab.com/finds/c.....ber=notsaf.

Thanks to you, I’ve asked myself questions like: What will I wear when it rains/snows? What will I wear if I need to dress up? What will I wear every day (professionally and casually)? What will I wear to more formal professional events? What will I wear at home? What will I wear to work out? What will I wear on vacation? And I have satisfying answers to all of these!

Of course, I will want to fill in some gaps and add some novelty as the year progresses, but that would be true at home, too, so I feel happy leaving room for shopping.

In the end, this feels like a much more considered and rich collection than the one I started with, so I’m really grateful for your feedback!

THANKS!
