October Purchases

Style Fan

I purchased three items in October, bringing the total for the year to twelve. It is starting to look like I have shares in Lululemon. One of my style goals for the year was to work on my lounge/hiking capsule. It is easy for me to order from Lululemon, and I know my size, and they have what I need.
I debated which shirt to order from Power of My People, and I may order another one. Button-ups are the piece I never knew I needed for my wardrobe.

Purchases:

Belt Bag - Olive Camo - Lululemon
Scuba Jogger - Black Camo - Lululemon
Brown Plaid Button-Up - The Keeper - Power of My People

On my shopping list are combat boots and black jeans (probably Everlane).

These are my purchases to date. My wardrobe is starting to work for the life I have and not my fantasy life.

If something works, no need to change it! Really like the colors in the new plaid shirt. All the purchases look very cohesive together.

I’m really impressed , and motivated by this . I find Lululemon easy to buy from too , and I know exactly how everything will fit . They never disappoint in that regard . How are you liking your new POMP shirt ? I was disappointed there was nothing for me in the Fall / Winter
Collection - but I guess I’ve saved myself a few hundred $$ - haha.

Beautiful colour story featured in your acquisitions. I’m into button downs (flannel) and picked up two this month…

Thank you, everyone, for your kind and thoughtful words. It has been a long and challenging journey to get my wardrobe to a place that works for my new lifestyle. Okay, not so new now. I still look longingly at Smythe blazers.
Lisa, I like the POMP shirt a lot, and it works with my mid-wash blue jeans. Their shirts fit so well.

The whole collection looks a lot like the wardrobe I should be trying to build, but in different colors. Very well thought out and I bet you look amazing in it. I’m taking notes.

Beautiful, cohesive additions. I hear you on returning over and over to the brands that fit well and work for your lifestyle.

The brown/black plaid on that POMP shirt is *so* good. I keep looking at it, but I already bought one of their shirts this year (rusty heather, also *so* good), and I have to be careful not to overbuy shirts, I have such a weakness for them!

I always love seeing your thoughtful wardrobe additions, and the whole of how your pieces fit together. I've been stalking POMP since Lisa introduced me to them earlier this year. Their stuff looks SO good.

All of the 2021 buys look great purchases for you. You do inspire many of us, I hope you know? I am pleased with my 11 new additions for this year overall. I love those sort of cinnamon colours you get.

Thank you so much, everyone! I am highly flattered by your responses.
La Ped, your POMP shirt is a yummy rust colour. How did I miss that one? It works so well with your wardrobe.
Jenn, the POMP shirts are beautiful, and they are well made, and the material is gorgeous.

I'll take one of each, thanks This is pretty much what I need as I head into winter working at home and still "reducing contacts" as the Covid modelers continue to suggest is needed - pieces that are both comfortable at home and presentable for city walking.

Well I just spent a good amount of time trying to lemming your wardrobe, lol! Our lifestyle needs and preferred colours are very similar. The POMP shirt made my Xmas wish list. I have a hard time ordering *any* $100+ joggers without feeling some confidence they will work, it's something I have to think about (whether I even want to wear joggers, what I am willing to pay and whether I am willing to order just to try on, given my general lack of success with them). I would order the green hiking shoes in a heartbeat but cannot find that colour available in Canada! Hiking shoes in general are styled so unnecessarily unattractively that I haven't been able to bring myself to order some despite having a need. I feel like they are almost ugly on purpose, maybe in order to convince us they must be super functional? These ones are actually cute, good find!

Jules, it is frustrating trying to find footwear that is functional and attractive. I also have multiple problems with my feet. I think Amazon might carry the hiking shoes in the green. Some outdoor stores carry them, which is where I bought mine. I don't know where you are in Canada, but the store in my neck of the woods does have a website. Algonquin Outfitters.
If you want size information, I can help. I bought a half size too big and wished I didn't.
