What’s on My Wardrobe Update List?
Each fall and spring, I overhaul my closet to create a working fall/winter wardrobe and spring/summer wardrobe, respectively. I make a list of items that I have to replace and to add to makeover my wardrobe for fit, trends, and style.
This time, the replacement list looked as follows:
- High heel boots or booties in gray,
- A plaid wool skirt,
- LeatherCoatsEtc tan leather gloves,
- Tights in nude,
- Cashmere sweaters in olive, bottle-green, mustard, magenta, burgundy, and navy,
- Various pieces of new underwear,
- An up-scale skirt blazer or pantsuit outfit in sleek, simple, crisp tailoring for a special event,
- Winter walking shoes, and
- A new bomber leather jacket that is classic, but also fits the heavy-duty trend.
The list for trendy updates includes:
- A beret or hat in beetroot purple or Empire yellow,
- Gloves in an It color like fiery red or blue perennial,
- A fun skirt with maxed out or asymmetric hem.
On the Lust list are:
- A pink/magenta B-3 shearling bomber jacket,
- One of the drop-waist dresses or sheer trendy skirts, and
- These Nordgreen watches and the tiger-eye wooden Jord watch.
Which Wardrobe Updates I Bought so Far
The easiest parts are always the tights and underwear. I love my Hipstik® Legwear.
I also ordered the cashmere sweaters (see the carousel). So stay turned for the new outfits with these pieces. For some of them I have already more than three ideas in mind. When you are a long time reader, you may know that this is one of the criteria to how to buy a winner for your wardrobe.
How to Deal with Lust Items When Being on a Fashion Budget?
My husband found a pink B3 aviator jacket with hoodie. However, because you should never buy a statement piece when you need a work horse, I wait for it to go on sale. Yes, I always love a beautiful look in pink, and wanted to have a good insulating pink jacket. A shearling jacket keeps you warm when watching the start of the Iditarod or Yukon Quest in Fairbanks.
However, I never include Lust items in my fashion budget calculation. In other words, I have to save on the Must-Haves and trend updates to be able to afford it. Therefore, I programmed a fashion budget calculator that automatically adjust the upper most cost for a budgeted piece, and what’s left in the budget.

The Best Trend I Bought Last Year …
was my printed denim jacket. It was an absolute winner for my wardrobe. More on why a wild print jacket is the best for maximizing your looks. Below is another outfit with this very versatile piece. I found it in a little boutique here in College.
Best of all. Cropped and short jackets are a trend that remains for Spring/Summer 2023, and some of the jackets colors look similar to the Pantone SS 2023 palette. Therefore, it looks full on trend still a year later. More on how you can to fake Pantone colors with lookalikes

Yes, I remember the incomplete fall collections mixed with non-sold spring collection pieces. Many small boutiques got out of business because they couldn’t make ends match between non-sold spring items, paying rent without getting, and buying a fall collection. So sad.
I feel like I am always updating my closet without ever cleaning out the old stuff! I need to get better about this because I am running out of room. Great post!

The cashmere sweater is so pretty and I know that neutral color will work well with many of your outfits. I can’t wait to see the aviator jacket your husband got. I am finding it a little easier to shop now that we are kind of getting a little out of the pandemic. Last year this time, a lot of my stores didn’t have dressing rooms open and the stuff they had in stock was a weird collection of odds and ends.

It’s great that you plan out exactly what you want to add to your closet each season. I tend to randomly buy things. Love both of those pretty dance dresses!
