What was you last fashion acquisition of 2024?

Runcarla

Further to my response in Irina’s thread on ‘Jewelry Goals - 2025’ - I was able to find the gold ‘huggies’ style earrings I was looking for! Our local jewellery store did not have them, but when I went to make a return at a store one town over - I checked out the jewellery stores there - and found what I was looking for!

No Boxing Day shopping for me. I have a short list of ‘wants’, but no ‘needs’.

With one day left to 2024 - what’s your last fashion acquisition of the year?

Oh, those are so pretty, Carla! Perfect for you!

I thought my final purchase of the year was the Athleta puffer. But it turns out -- or it may turn out -- that my final purchase is actually a summer top!

I was so taken with Brooklyn's recent threads about her new halter neck cotton-linen tops that I searched the Zara sale, and lo -- the tops were available and on sale in my size. So I have ordered. Will they work? I don't know. But they may turn out to be the final purchases of the year. They won't arrive until next year, though -- so I will probably count them there, instead.

I’m glad you got the earrings, Carla!
Today I received this cardigan, bought on Poshmark new with tags. I still have to try it with pants but looks like a keeper.

I just ordered these Hanky Panky low rise thongs because the price looked good and my underwear drawer could use a refresh for the new year.

In my search for the perfect jeans, I ordered 4 from Old Navy (all petites!). I am keeping and have worn one, debating a second and returning two.

A new pair of Blundstones in November! After convincing myself I wanted to replace my very old pair with the new fashion-y lug sole model, I went and tried them on, and found the materials felt cheaper than my old pair (the women's high top model) I decided to go for a full upgrade instead: the Thermal All Terrain model. These have an insulated lining and an extra grippy Vibram outsole. They are overall a better fit for my purposes and climate, and the antique brown is richer and prettier in person than in photos; with the black soles and gores, they go with just about everything!

Received yesterday, capri leggings in a dark gray and black tie dye pattern, and dark pink racer back running top. I joined the Y a few weeks ago, and have been attending lots of classes and running on the treadmill and indoor track. I’ll gladly wear shorts to run outside in warm weather, long fleece lined leggings in cold, but haven’t owned too many capri length. For indoor exercise and running, I prefer a little more coverage than shorts, and I’ve found the capri length to be cool enough with sleeveless tops.

Anyway, always a boost and motivation to get new running clothes.

(Sadly, I just put two old but excellent running jackets into donate, because they are just too tight now.)

I looked over my clothing inventory before I left to visit my brother's for the holiday, and decided that I could justify a red sweater. So I ordered this one, and it is waiting for me when I get home. I will report back

My DH came home with a pair of black fleece leggings and black snow boots for me recently. Both are working out well. I bought myself some black earrings as I lost one and they are a necessity for me. Black studs that are a bit glitsy.

A large structured leather tote for travel; my current one is approaching non-functional. I am also concerned about tariffs and since the election stocked up on basics for us like jeans and tees. Hopefully by the time we wear them out, we will have better supply chain visibility. In the meantime I am feeling a bit queasy about the spend.

When they went on a 1/2 price sale, I ordered these red boots! They not due to arrive until the 1'st ? and I'm hoping I picked the right size because they have sold out in other sizes.

A restock of bras in October.

More recently, I’ve been doing some mending and revived some items that had been out of circulation for awhile, like favorite wool socks, a cardigan, and leggings.

In terms of purchases, I bought a deep charcoal sweater for work ... Just a simple crewneck and on deep discount early in December. I did get some earrings and a hoodie for Christmas though, so those are the most recent additions!

I made two end of year sale purchases last week:
- Sunglasses as recently lost mine, I’d had them for 7 years so had done pretty well. I only have one pair at a time so like something classic and feel these fit the bill and don’t look too big on my small face/head!
- Striped tank - had been doing some summer outfit try-ons and felt that I was missing something like this. Have tried this with a range of bottoms and think it will plug the gap.
I have completed the analysis of all my purchases this year and think I will do a post for those interested in stats etc.

Those gold Huggies are so pretty, Carla. I bet you’ll wear those a lot!
I just picked up my final purchase from the mailbox. It is a silver jacket from Desigual. Definitely a little more ‘out there’ for me, but I thought it might be fun and playful. I recently bought a pair of silver sneakers from Brown’s and intend on wearing them together.

This white linen shirt. I have been looking for the right piece to replace my old mint linen blouse. I found this one and wore it immediately. Just a really useful piece for hot summer days.

I"m going from a "low buy" 2024 to a "no buy" 2025. I couldn't resist this adorable crossbody bag in my favorite consignment store. I might as well end 2024 on a high note.

I love your new earrings. I've been very into wearing huggies lately.

I needed some holiday cheer that was also comfie, so I bought this red Madewell sweater.

Happy New Year!

We had a small Christmas gift exchange on Sunday, and my son gave me a pretty lilac Cashmere sweater from Uniqlo. I'm looking forward to wearing it, it fits beautifully.

After doing some edits of unworn shoes, I added these lambskin leather studded booties from Anine Bing for a little playful edge.

I know taller booties are all the rage, and I wear those often too, but I find short (and flat) boots suit my wardrobe for many outings equally well.

Fun thread! I just found two vintage plaid jackets at a thrift store (not where I work) and am contemplating keeping at least one.

I acquired some jewelry that my mother decided to pass down to me, including these:

The silver cuff bracelet was bought in Lima, Peru, in the 70s when my family was living there. I love them all but this one is the easiest to incorporate into my wardrobe. The gold and opal bracelet (3) and the silver brooch (6) were gifts to her from my father (they have been divorced for decades) and the other items (gold and pearl bracelet, jade beads, crystal beads) were my grandmother’s. I wore the silver bracelet and the crystal beads on my trip home.

P.s. I love everyone’s new red items.
