I would repurchase everything that I still have from 2018 (and earlier) though two items were very special occasion wear (ball skirt, silky button down). I wish I’d bought the matching skirt to go with the Uniqlo lace tank top. It would be a great dress alternative for dressy occasions.

After looking back at my photos from 2018, I will estimate I still have about half. I was much thinner then and many things had to go when I gained weight. I don't think I would buy most of those items again, though. There were some long tunics that were meh in shape and some less than exciting capris that I wore under them. Low rise jeans, not anymore for my body. I would definitely buy some rusty orange linen cargos again if I could get them in my new size. How I miss those! Love your Vince cargos, Irina and all your classy tops.

Gosh, 2018 was 5 years ago already?? How time flies - that's when I got married!

So, for better or for worse (pun intended ), most of my fashion budget then went to both the UK & HK wedding (clothes & accessories). I still have everything I bought for those outfits though (down to the comfy block heel sandals), so I suppose that counts as success?

Looking back through my calendar & emails, the only time I shopped & kept anything NON wedding related was during my trip to Australia & New Zealand - I picked up this teal silk scarf & cute wooden necklace made of an abstract bird & leaves Maybe I should paint the bird over in brown or gold, to better work with my chosen palette (since my 2019 personal style/ colour consultation).

The only thing I don't wear from my 2018 purchases was a koala jumper (obviously an Aussie souvenir lol) - I've since learnt that sweatshirts need to either be cropped or past the bum to not feel 'messy' on me.
