Shopping my wardrobe in 2026

[CortieTat]

I have committed to a buying break (no clothes in 2026) and feel miserable already 🤦‍♀️.
I’m starting this thread to cheer myself up and rediscover the clothes I already own. I have been tracking CPW for all my clothes for several years but recently it has become automatic and boring.

I would like to rediscover the joy of putting outfits together, instead of buying new things first and then figuring out how they fit together! Also being more mindful about what I wear and how I feel about it.

I use an app called Stylebook to organise my clothes, it helps but I don’t think it’s necessary. If anyone wants to join me, great 😊.

This is what I wore today:

Yesterday’s and today’s outfits. On Thursday I put a ribbon scarf on the handbag for the first time in my life 😊.

I’m going to take a break from this thread as I’m experimenting with new ways to curb my shopping addiction I have my phone’s display in greyscale. This makes it much more difficult to use my wardrobe app - I still track everything I wear but putting outfits together on the screen is nearly impossible.

I really enjoyed this thread and I hope I will be able to return to it once I feel I have better control over my shopping habits.
