Revisited – The Anna Edit

I used to be looking for a photograph on my weblog and realised that it had been some time since I did a round-up of my finest funding buys (this post from 2020 serves as my final instalment and I very a lot stand-by all of the factors made!). However because of the Whering App I now have a definitive, evidence-based listing of what have really been the most effective funding buys in my wardrobe, on condition that I can view my wardrobe from my most-worn merchandise, to my least-worn. So right here you may have it. The ten purchases which have served me finest in my wardrobe (since I began monitoring it in August final yr)…

#1 – Loewe Small Puzzle Bag in Midnight Navy*. I really feel prefer it’s no shock that that is on the high. It’s the bag that holds all my bag bits and goes with all the things, due to this fact is the one I seize after I’m working out the door. When you’d like a full evaluation of this bag then try this TikTok, the place I handle to chop down a dissertation-length ode right into a useful two minutes. Six years later and we’re nonetheless going sturdy.

#2 – Vintage Levi’s 501 Jeans. Now these had been a nice purchase. Notoriously laborious to pay money for, I by some means managed to seek out my excellent pair that had been simply the correct quantity of saggy and simply the proper size. A barely lighter wash denim than the remainder of my denims, they’re simply so darn cozy and due to this fact are those I am going for after I’m having a chill day however need to have the ability to roll round on the ground with the little man.

#3 – ARKET Shawl Collar Jacket*. Of all of the jackets I personal – that is essentially the most sensible. A medium-weight puffer, I can simply throw it on with most outfits and it retains me heat, while trying fairly darn stylish. It’s not too thick so I’ve to layer up beneath within the depths of the winter, but it surely’s served me very nicely for this lengthy ol’ chilly snap we’ve had.

#4 – Converse Comfort 70’s Trainers*. Are you noticing a sample right here? My most-worn items are the simplest, comfiest ones I personal. Living proof – these trainers. Not solely are they stunning park-proof, therefore being worn so typically; this fashion is soooo snug. A cushioned sole makes them 11789% extra snug than the originals.

#5 – Birkenstock Boston Clogs in Latte Cream*. One other tremendous snug, flat shoe choice that I attain for on a regular basis. In suede, so not one for wet muddy days exterior (and annoyingly in a shade that by no means come again into inventory!), however the creamy yellow goes with so many issues in my wardrobe. When unsure – and after I wish to look a little bit extra stylish and polished – I am going for these.

#6 – ARKET Straight Non-Stretch Jeans*. I used to be beforehand all about that straight leg life when it got here to denim, however proper now I want my leg a little bit longer and a contact wider and these denims match that invoice. I put on them about two sizes greater than my regular measurement in order that they sit a little bit extra on the waist.

#7 – ARKET Oversized Cashmere Jumper in Grey*. They sadly haven’t purchased again this fashion this winter, however I simply love this jumper a lot. It’s *completely* outsized and it’s simply the proper shade of gray – that appears like an odd factor to say however have you learnt what I imply?

#8 – Birkenstock EVA Sandals*. It’s been some time since I wore these sandals, however I’m guessing they’ve made it onto the highest 10 listing because of being closely in rotation final August and September. Through the hotter months these are sometimes the shoe that I am going for – tremendous cozy and I’m all the time right here for a slip-on.

#9 – Celine Zipped Medium Hobo Bag*. I acquired this as a little bit of a push-present for myself and I’m so glad I did. Throughout these new child days it was roomy sufficient to suit all of the necessities in and now it’s the bag I am going to each time I would like to hold a big load. Heck – I even packed for an in a single day keep in London with simply this bag. I’m very glad to have discovered my excellent black leather-based tote (with gold {hardware} – WIN!).

#10 – Lululemon HR 25 Align Pants*. I’m stunned these aren’t additional up the listing, however my go-to outfit for Mum days is these, with the ARKET jumper, ARKET jacket and my Converse. They’re simply THE BEST leggings and I gained’t cease happening about it. They final years (I should have had mine for over 5 years now), and work simply pretty much as good for informal lounging as they do for understanding.
