I'm coming out of the summer season mostly successful, but even I can admit that this transition is probably hardest for me, restriction/moderation wise. I think even for someone who last winter was SO READY for spring, leaving summer I am so sick of sweating and being hot all the time that even when I don't "need" something new, they make me excited. And when I'm excited I try things on, and when I try things on I am especially tempted to buy them. So I feel like I did decently well for the season, with some definite rooms for improvement.

I think the best thing I learned/confirmed is that I'm pretty much always a size 36 waist in men's trousers, and since I'm feeling kind of lukewarm about wearing jeans for the next 6 months, I'm excited to explore more vintage/second hand options.

I feel like it's a rare moment these days for me to fall in love with a print - let alone fall in love with onw enough to acknowledge its place in my increasingly more neutral and solid wardrobe. But this N&Co dress got me, with its ridiculously bright Versace inspired print that made me think of both 90s AND 70s. I'm not going to say this dress is gonna be in my wardrobe for years and years, but I definitely have the feeling that I'm going to enjoy every outing in it while I can.
