We’re back for one of the annual blogs which is a summary of my clothing spend! You can see 2022 here (low year due to pregnancy), 2021 (my first splurge-y year), 2019 (another low year due to pregnancy), and 2018 (a year that is typical of my frugal years).
The main themes this year
Mainly, I was transitioning my closet away from the NYC climate to a temperate SoCal climate, adding in a bit more white and color. I also explored more upscale brands that had classic styles that I could wear for years. My all time favorite is still Allsaints, and my new discovery is Maison 123. I really wanted to land on a pair of perfect white pants, but alas, I’m really trying to love the Club Monaco pants I bought (and per-item wise, these were the most expensive item I bought this year), but something about the fabric just isn’t sitting right.
