Last year I worked hard on making more focused purchases and tried to make sure that each item I brought in would make at least 3 outfits. I also continued to purge and focused on letting go of items that could be substituted with other items, and didn't rush into making any purchases until I found the perfect pieces.
My goals for 2016 are to:
- Not purchase any shoes, and continue to let go of more, with the ultimate goal to own 25 pairs of shoes
- Continue to work on using the things I love and not worry about them getting ruined
- Continue to shop within my collection of bags and wallets, and let go of 10 items
- Stay within my budget of $1,000, and again, not include any major investment pieces or bags
- Have 4 purchase-free months
- Continue to purge so I can consolidate all my items into 1 closet
- Build a 'rainy day' fund by selling any items that may have some value to use towards a pre-loved Louis Vuitton Speedy 35/40.
2016 Wishlist and "needs" (these items are exceptions to any 'do not' buy lists):
- Black wedge ankle boots
- Gray leather bag
- Gray wool winter coat
- Navy sheath dress
- Pre-loved Speedy 35/40
- Black sheath dress
'Do not buy' list:
- Trousers and Khakis
- Shoes
- Bags, wallets and small pouches
- Jeans
I am very impressed with your list of goals. I like the way you have organized them with your "wishlist" and "do not buy" list. I'm also working on wearing clothes that I like instead of saving them for best or special occasions but its hard when you are trying not to ruin them!
