Glassons Merino Turtleneck / Karen Walker tweed coat/ Bite Beauty lip crayon in PomegranateJust a quick update on the 5 Pieces thing that I've been trying to put into practice, particularly on the basics front which is the fun part because they don't count. New to this blog? Have no idea what I'm talking about? It's an exercise to buy less clothes / shoes / accessories and you can read more about it here inspired by the idea floated around by Sabrina of afterDRK called The 5 Piece French Wardrobe.
Now of course with the sales everywhere, there were a few temptations like a pink Rodarte t-shirt (still full price) from Shopbop, some Equipment blouses on Forward by Elyse Walker (not many neutral colours though and not many Large left in stock) and Adidas by Stella McCartney tops on Net-a-Porter. I feel victorious because I didn't even try put the above items in a shopping cart, instead I have been quite happy wearing the same things over and over again. Like the above Glassons merino turtleneck which I own in gray as well.
Other 'basics' on high rotation are: my Uniqlo v-neck wool blend jumper worn in my June Favourites video, a fresh H&M breton stripe jumper (never not wearing stripes #TBT examples here and here) and my staple black ASOS trousers.
Do you have pieces that you have no shame in wearing over and over again?
