Okay, I'm joining others in the chorus of end of year style analysis.

*Wanted to Buy Less in 2025

Sadly, that didn't happen, it was basically derailed when I ended up with hallux limitus (aka big toe arthritis). I had to ditch almost half my shoe collection that was no longer suitable. It was really hard to find any truly stylish options. Somehow that triggered a bit of a buying spree in other areas of my wardrobe to I guess, compensate for this lack of style.

*Edit and Purge

Successfully edited many items out of my holding zone that had been there for years. I did find the best stuff that I no longer wore really hard to get rid of. I finally decided to donate them to a small, well curated charity shop hoping that they would be an asset to their sales.

*Defined New Rules for Purchases

Earlier in the year I asked the forum to assist me with some style words, and I found it extremely helpful in guiding my future purchases. I have since redefined these words as RELAXED, REFINE, and COHESIVE
I also got much stricter with my colour palette and added a " No Buy" list to help keep me on track.

*Hair Style Updated

I started the year with a long pixie but I decided to once again grow it back to a layered short bob. It's my comfort zone hairstyle.
