I don't believe in resolutions, per-se. But, I do believe in self-awareness. In 2023 I took stock of what I was buying, using a simple list in my Notes app divided by month. I fell victim to the after Holiday sales in January buying tennis dresses, skirts and tops, a cashmere sweater, jeans, workout leggings, and a cocktail dress. As the months continued the items per month dwindled, in December I bought a book and an eyeshadow palette. While I am far from perfect when it comes to this, I did buy some new favorite pieces. And, I learned I have a weak spot for tennis clothing, tees from Target, and all pants.
A list is my friend. Writing down what I have alongside holes/specific needs in my closet help to prevent thoughtless purchases. I'm on a hunt for a black crewneck cashmere sweater, and will not settle for anything less than perfect.
This is an exercise I will bring into 2024. I like the list form. I like the constant reminder.
