I spent a decade buying clothes I did not wear. This is me working out why, in public, and writing down the days in between.

I wrote down a rule about buying for people who already have everything. I have now tested it on the hardest person I know.

The Autumn Air set does the whole job on its own, which is the point. Cropped cardigan, wide leg, and a stripe that borrows a colour from everything else in the wardrobe.
A cropped patterned layer over a plain base, which is the only combination that gets a capsule through October without every outfit collapsing into the same coat.
100% cotton, hood down, the good detail hidden on the back. The one I put on when I am not trying to be seen and end up being asked about anyway.

About
I am Nora. I am twenty seven, I work in marketing, and I started this because I wanted somewhere to put the small stuff that does not fit anywhere else.
It began in 2019 as a place to complain about laundry. It is still mostly that. Lately there is more about clothes, because I spent a decade buying things I did not wear and I have been working out why, in public, which is either brave or a bit much.
Some posts are paid partnerships. Those say so at the bottom, every time. The rest is just me, and nobody is paying for the ones about the bear.
