Do wet want some new challenges in August?
How about wearing one non-black neutral per week (whatever is a neutral for you)

I wore two of my pastel bags a few different times this month. As for closet clear out, I ended up adding significantly to my closet instead of clearing out- clothes, not handbags.
I’ve always loved cotton eyelet and summer dresses and went quite overboard, adding several pieces including dresses, tops and skirts, mostly high street brands.
In addition to eyelet, I also added some midi length and knee length dresses in a few different styles- wrap dresses, shirtwaist dresses, some linen and denim dresses. My closet is full to the seams but I refuse to declutter anything!
I am also in the process of updating my jeans choices to include wide leg and possibly barrel style jeans, both of which I have been hesitant about adding. I will be getting rid of some skinny jeans though and good riddance. I was never a fan of them.
I got them from resellers but you can try pop mart. The labubu subreddit has a great community that helps people get their hands on labubu.
Oops 4 scarves with the gifted one - sorry

No harm in having a large wardrobe if you are wearing everything. I love the sound of your eyelet pieces (I wonder if it's what we call 'embroidery anglaise'). It's a good idea to stock-up on things that are in fashion while they are, coz some years there will be nothing.
I am eyeing all the beautiful cotton blouses this year, one that would look good with every kind of maxi, mini or shorts - I haven't found the right one yet.
Stunning pic
We have a great community here too. Nothing to stop people from starting a thread to help others.
Thank you.
I urge everyone who loves silk scarves to hunt for vintage Cartier. It's probably my only way of owning multiple pieces of their high jewellery
My pics are awful and don't do them justice.Vintage Ferragamo are also so beautiful.
Scarves in general are getting too computer generated and/or commercial for me including Hermes.
New, I would recommend moving away from the big brands. Some of my favourite scarf artists have their own lines. Sabina Savage (who created the most iconic McQueen designs) and Arlette Ess (worked for Hermes).
Thank you.
LOL, anytime. If I find anything small enough I will gift it to you, but it's been a while I was a UK 4-6. My last bag was full of things that looked very pretty, but made of 60s/70s synthetics.
In some ways it breaks my heart to part with my vintage stuff more than new but at this point some things are literally just lining the walls as insulation.
Stay positive, we are here.
Thank you❤️❤️
I shouldn’t really write this here..
I may be a UK4 , but on the wrong day, I can feel like a beached whale!
Maybe a hysterectomy can sort that out..
Thank you! He is getting there. A few scares in between but getting there.
This month is the birthday of my beloved Niece, although she has her finals, so I won’t see her until after her graduation, next month(in between her various holidays).
I’m so proud of her, in many ways she’s more like me than my sister, who would never have dreamt of working overseas alone (in October she’s moving to Austria, at her age I moved to Paris).
I have a selection of presents, including jewellery, Skims sweaters, gym gloves, nail varnishes etc.
She’s always very grateful, and great fun to go out with.
I’ve told her about my admirer, but I’m not ready to tell anybody else in my family.

The clothes sound lovely. I need to get rid of some that no longer look great and replace them.I wore two of my pastel bags a few different times this month. As for closet clear out, I ended up adding significantly to my closet instead of clearing out- clothes, not handbags.

May Stats!
I am using papertigers words
Oops 4 Bags in -one was a gift
5 Bags out
0 Slgs in
1 Slgs out
0 Sports/Travel Bag in
2 Sports/Travel Bags out
That is a total of 7 bags out.
I have a lot more space now because what I sold was larger than what I bought. The only bad thing is I have to pick up some stuff at the consignment store that didn't sell. I never count those as out until they actually sell, but I hate bringing things I am done with back. Might just prepare a donate bag again.
