A change in season can mean one thing, and one thing only. Time for some seasonal wardrobe analysis. I’ve been tracking what I wear for close to a decade now. Longer if you consider my obsessive wardrobe tracking when I first began my personal style journey. And the insights that I’ve gained from this project have been fascinating. It’s allowed me to monitor what types of items I’m gravitating towards most. Highlighted my love of neutral, typically classic cut styles. But more recently, been a document of how my preferences have shifted through becoming a mum, and the pandemic.  It’s…

Time for another seasonal update on what was on heavy rotation. This time, for autumn. Or as I’ve been joking; autumn “lite”. It’s probably worth noting that it was milder than usual, and even now, into winter, I’m still heading out every other day with bare legs. One of the perks of living in Sydney; its mild climate.  I’ve collated the data slightly differently this time around, combining the wear count on styles where I have multiples. To me, what I’m really trying to analyse here is the style itself. While colour can be a factor, in my very neutral…

Summer style has yet to grip me in the way that transitional season and winter season style does. Mostly because there’s nothing exciting about wearing a singlet and denim shorts on days when it is really hot and sticky out. So I was pleasantly surprised when reviewing my summer most worn (for 22/23), as there’s a bit of a shift away from those core basics towards items that have a little more interest (despite how subtle).  Again, curious to know if the timing of this post is working or if you’d prefer a post-seasonal wear count wrap up in “real…

The novelty of being able to go back and review my most worn items – based on real hard data – has yet to wear off. Even so many years on. Often it serves as a bearing of whether a purchase was a wise one. Especially for the pieces I consider to be something of a splurge.  But perhaps the thing I really get out of it, is a strong sense of my personal style. As each season, and year on year, these much-loved items have rarely seen a seismic shift. I can expect that during the warmer months, some…

Happy New Year! I hope your 2023 has been off to a marvellous start. Out of habit now, I like to spend the first few days of the year reflecting, so it’s only fitting to kick off my first post of the year with a retrospective on my 2022 style. More specifically, the items I actually wore the most. Based on hard data from tracking my daily outfits throughout the year. For those curious, it’s a primitive method. Noting down each piece on my phone, before transferring it into a rather large excel document at the end of each season.…

A little peek into the core of my summer capsule wardrobe for 22/23. There’s been a major shift in the way I think about capsules, dressing for the season ahead, and having a style uniform. Perhaps evident in my language over recent months. But for me, it’s all about getting a laser focus on the fundamentals; the core building blocks of what you’re planning to wear. Essentially the direction your style will take for the next few months. From there, bringing in other items I own which fit the “vibe”, as complements. Supporting actors, if you will. Whereas the concept…
