Hi everyone, just a quick mid-year(ish) review of my low-buy 2025. To date, I've made 8 purchases, including one thrifted piece and one accessory, so 6 new clothing pieces (one was a Mother's Day present - the linen pants - so I kind of half-count this haha).

Everything is well on its way to earning workhorse status, with the exception of:

• the white sweater, which is too open of a neckline for me, especially at work (this may have been a bad purchase for this reason, time will tell, which is a shame because the fit and drape is otherwise lovely). If it was a narrow v it would be perfect *sigh*. The slightly offwhite colour makes it tricky to match a cami with; my white camis look a little stark. Any suggestions are welcome!
• the pink thrifted blazer, which I had zero expectation would be worn frequently (maybe once or twice during the spring is enough - hence why I thrifted it but would not have purchased new in the this particular colour).

On the other hand, the sage cardigan I thought was a wildcard has been something I wore frequently over the last month!

On my radar to purchase over the summer - a new bathing suit and a flat black leather sandal (smart enough for work). I also need to replace my black belt at some point, perhaps with something higher quality, as the one I have was inexpensive and starting to show signs of wear (peeling). None of these are essential but all would prove useful. If the right pieces show up, great! If not, no worries.

All in all, feeling content and like I have plenty to wear.

Thanks for reading xx
