I don’t know if anyone else keeps track of what they purchased in a year - I don’t usually but this year I did. I lost 20kg (just over 3st) so needed a whole new wardrobe. Absolutely none of my clothes fit me properly by July.
I try hard not to buy new clothes as I’m worried about over consumption - I’ve never had a year of such a huge amount of purchases and don’t expect to again really.

6 maxi skirts
2 pairs cyber jammies PJs

all my ski clothes - I know I’m forgetting more stuff. It ran to 4 figures.
I’ve ended the year with a Vinted balance of £70 odd, having started on a zero balance on May 15th. I don’t think I’ve done too badly. I have about another 30 items to sell. All beautiful, classic clothes but they don’t fit any more. The items with a * next to them, I bought, wore, grew out of and then sold and then bought again in another size. I did quite a bit of that this year as my size changed.
In 2025 I plan to purchase new PJs and 5 new pairs of knickers. I also need re-fitting for bras again. That’s it.
