I have a pair of Calvin Klein sunglasses from the 90’s that were mine and I just found them. You’re inspiring me to put new prescription lenses in them.
Lovely post, Harry- thanks! I’ve not gone as far as you in no buy but this year decided to take up the ‘buy no more than 5 new things challenge’ - currently on 2 items. However something I’ve been doing recently is buying items from Vinted that are white or cream and non synthetic and dyeing them a colour that suits me. ( Black, white, beige are a skin washout disaster for me - I need colour!) For example I’ve just dyed a vintage Max Mara white linen dress and am about to change the buttons. Just did the same with a 90s summer coat. It’s really fun and satisfying and if it doesn’t work out it’s also not broken the bank! It’s also enabled me to concentrate on looking at shapes that suit rather than juggling that with colour and texture and pattern etc when scrolling. I’m developing the colour palette that works for me and hopefully soon my wardrobe will be more coordinated!
Agree on the bracelets- so easy to make a stack, and an absorbing mindful thing to do too!
Of course how to do all these things is on YouTube! X

Such a great idea!x
I also meant to say you look fabulous in that last outfit where you put all your free items together.
Thanks so much Sita x
