I like reading how everyone shops mindfully - setting a budget is probably most crucial and I enjoyed learning how you put this in practice. Using indyx this year has been a game changer and I can see how substantially my consumption has changed just by being aware of and using what's in my closet first.

Love this, Lau! I feel like I’m reading myself. And I love the idea of transferring your fashion budget into a dedicated account.

And now I'm curious... What's on you Tibi wish list that you count on will go on sale in January? :)

Some highlights are: Relaxed Suiting Asymmetrical Wrap Blazer - love these asymetric blazers, not sure which color though as the light one has high risk of washing me out. Drapey suiting Liam and Marit pant (ideally purple if I can track it down) - in my opinion drapey suiting is the best material for Liam. Bonded Dry Loop Terry Skirt - love the colors although undecided on the toweling pattern. The skirt in pink with a ribbon. I am sure many more will come through as people buy and share on Tibi fans - and the time for ruthless prioritization will come:)

Interesting choices. I also like Liam in flowy materials best.

No, I’ve given up on wanting anything from their website (due to low stocks and high tariffs), but I’m soon traveling to Nee Zealand and I have a couple of items on my wish list at Muse. I’ve sent you some screenshots via a dm. A pity you cannot add pictures in the comment section ☺️

Terrific advice. Your budget formula will help make emotional decisions easier to make.

Thank you.

I would add: when shopping keep in mind your orphan pieces that need mates. The sight of new treasures makes it easy to forget the lonely jewels already hanging in our closets.

Yes, sometimes a good purchase - e.g. good leggings - can enable a vast number of new outfits!
