In January, literally weighed down by the contents of my own wardrobe, I made a promise: no new clothes for 2024. No caveats, no exceptions. No buying second-hand because “it’s new to me”.
It’s now almost November, and I can proudly say that while I have not resisted the urge to buy entirely, I can count what I’ve purchased on one hand, with a pinky finger left over.
