…as a result of it’s been some time.
I used to be looking for a photograph on my weblog and realised that it had been some time since I did a round-up of my greatest funding buys (this post from 2020 serves as my final instalment and I very a lot stand-by all of the factors made!). However due to the Whering App I now have a definitive, evidence-based record of what have truly been the perfect funding buys in my wardrobe, provided that I can view my wardrobe from my most-worn merchandise, to my least-worn. So right here you’ve got it. The ten purchases which have served me greatest in my wardrobe (since I began monitoring it in August final 12 months)…
#1 – Loewe Small Puzzle Bag in Midnight Navy*. I really feel prefer it’s no shock that that is on the prime. It’s the bag that holds all my bag bits and goes with every thing, due to this fact is the one I seize after I’m working out the door. For those who’d like a full overview of this bag then try this TikTok, the place I handle to chop down a dissertation-length ode right into a helpful two minutes. Six years later and we’re nonetheless going robust.
#2 – Vintage Levi’s 501 Jeans. Now these had been a nice purchase. Notoriously arduous to pay money for, I one way or the other managed to search out my good pair that had been simply the correct quantity of saggy and simply the appropriate size. A barely lighter wash denim than the remainder of my denims, they’re simply so darn comfortable and due to this fact are those I am going for after I’m having a chill day however need to have the ability to roll round on the ground with the little man.
#3 – ARKET Shawl Collar Jacket*. Of all of the jackets I personal – that is essentially the most sensible. A medium-weight puffer, I can simply throw it on with most outfits and it retains me heat, while wanting fairly darn stylish. It’s not too thick so I’ve to layer up beneath within the depths of the winter, but it surely’s served me very effectively for this lengthy ol’ chilly snap we’ve had.
#4 – Converse Comfort 70’s Trainers*. Are you noticing a sample right here? My most-worn items are the simplest, comfiest ones I personal. Living proof – these trainers. Not solely are they beautiful park-proof, therefore being worn so typically; this model is soooo snug. A cushioned sole makes them 11789% extra snug than the originals.
#5 – Birkenstock Boston Clogs in Latte Cream*. One other tremendous snug, flat shoe choice that I attain for on a regular basis. In suede, so not one for wet muddy days outdoors (and annoyingly in a shade that by no means come again into inventory!), however the creamy yellow goes with so many issues in my wardrobe. When doubtful – and after I wish to look a little bit extra stylish and polished – I am going for these.
#6 – ARKET Straight Non-Stretch Jeans*. I used to be beforehand all about that straight leg life when it got here to denim, however proper now I desire my leg a little bit longer and a contact wider and these denims match that invoice. I put on them about two sizes larger than my regular measurement so that they sit a little bit extra on the waist.
#7 – ARKET Oversized Cashmere Jumper in Grey*. They sadly haven’t purchased again this model this winter, however I simply love this jumper a lot. It’s *completely* outsized and it’s simply the appropriate shade of gray – that appears like an odd factor to say however have you learnt what I imply?
#8 – Birkenstock EVA Sandals*. It’s been some time since I wore these sandals, however I’m guessing they’ve made it onto the highest 10 record due to being closely in rotation final August and September. Through the hotter months these are sometimes the shoe that I am going for – tremendous comfortable and I’m all the time right here for a slip-on.
#9 – Celine Zipped Medium Hobo Bag*. I obtained this as a little bit of a push-present for myself and I’m so glad I did. Throughout these new child days it was roomy sufficient to suit all of the necessities in and now it’s the bag I am going to at any time when I would like to hold a big load. Heck – I even packed for an in a single day keep in London with simply this bag. I’m very blissful to have discovered my good black leather-based tote (with gold {hardware} – WIN!).
#10 – Lululemon HR 25 Align Pants*. I’m shocked these aren’t additional up the record, however my go-to outfit for Mum days is these, with the ARKET jumper, ARKET jacket and my Converse. They’re simply THE BEST leggings and I received’t cease happening about it. They final years (I will need to have had mine for over 5 years now), and work simply nearly as good for informal lounging as they do for understanding.
