It is, of course, bloody freezing as I start thinking about my 2025 summer wardrobe plan, and about all I can think about is fluffy slippers.

It’s been a busy few months in which I lost or forgot a number of deadlines including the dentist and the 2025 winter wardrobe update. But, as they say, better late than never. Especially with the summer plan coming up.

Somewhere along the lines, I’ve managed to slip a year of wardrobe plans. Nonetheless, it’s time to look at my 2025 winter wardrobe plan.

It’s time to examine the full horror of my 2023 post-mastectomy summer wardrobe update. I happily said, all I need is a dog walking dress and a top for $395; just enough to get me through the season.

Five minutes ago summer arrived, so I decided to revamp my summer plan with the mastectomy to produce a 2023 post-mastectomy Summer Wardrobe Plan.

As I sit here writing 2023 Summer Wardrobe Plan, it’s still winter out there, (just like last year), and Summer seems a long way away.

As usual, my 2023 winter wardrobe update shows an overspend, though at least I’m not overspent and underdressed, so that’s something at least.

Given how blah the weather was through Summer, it feels wrong to be working on my 2023 winter wardrobe plan, but here I am doing it anyway.

Here in Melbourne, 2022 Summer was more like winter than summer, but none the less, here’s my 2022 Summer Wardrobe Update!

It’s cold and raining outside right now as I start thinking about my 2022 Summer wardrobe plan. I’m well rugged up with layers and layers trying to keep warm.

As it turns out, my 2022 Winter Wardrobe Update is a tale of two sides of a coin – had to buy more than expected, but enjoyed in-person shopping.

There’s a lot to consider for the 2022 Winter wardrobe plan; Over the last 6 – 12 months I’ve slimmed down from a LARGE to a Small verging on Extra Small.

Once again the weather is changeable, even for “Four Seasons in One Day” Melbourne, and it’s time to look at the 2022 Summer wardrobe update.

It’s time to start looking at my 2021 Summer Wardrobe Plan. As I write, the sun is shining, and I’m putting on and taking off my fleece. The shops are frantically dispatching end of season catalogues, and soon they’ll be replacing them with new styles for warmer weather.

Winter has been a mixed bag in terms of clothes, weather and the pandemic, but now it’s time for my 2021 Winter Wardrobe Update.

It feels like we’ve been in forever, but with so much time spent at home (where possible), many people have found this a good time to get healthier. Do or die of a different kind.

I’ve been freezing for what seems like ever. And therefore, thinking about lots of warm layers for my 2021 Signature Wardrobe Winter Plan.

Before I get into my 2020 Summer Wardrobe Update, let’s recap the Summer Plan. Which was basically to get a bunch of black clothes.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, my 2020 Signature Wardrobe Summer Plan is the kind of extreme you get when you have to replace your entire wardrobe.

Let’s just say I’ve been cold, and skip to the rest of the 2020 Winter Wardrobe Update. My 2020 Winter plan was based on costumes for two characters:

So. I mentioned last time I’d intended to talk about appropriate makeup. And this is the post I’m going to do it in.

Thanks to our highly variable Melbourne weather, I’ve been thinking about my 2020 Winter Wardrobe Plan for some time. And staying warm!

Technically, Summer has just ended, and it’s time for the 2019 Summer Wardrobe Update, but the weather has been cool and wet and I’m already thinking about Winter.

After some lovely sunny days, and wonderful winter purchases, I’ve been warm enough to start thinking about a 2019 Summer Wardrobe Plan.

The garden is full of Spring Bulbs, and we’ve had some slightly warmer days. So it’s time to get the 2019 Winter Wardrobe Update out of the way.

I’m fascinated by Harajuku style. It looks a random collection of stuff, but take a closer look, and you’ll see all the building blocks of style in an ever-changing arrangement.

Conference Season is upon us. On the one hand, you’ll get a few days out of the office and maybe make some new friends and industry contacts. On the other, you have to come up with a Conference Outfit…

I’m cold, it’s wet outside, and I’m wondering if I have enough warm clothes, so that makes it time to develop my 2019 Winter Wardrobe Plan.

We’ve had some cooler weather and daylight savings ends in a few short weeks, so it’s time to do my 2018 Summer Wardrobe Update.

I’ve already mentioned my new passion for K-Drama, and one of the reasons I love it is the subtext. Particularly the way the K-Drama heroine outfit says so much about her and her mental state.

Even though Spring is barely here, the shops are ready for Christmas so it’s time for my 2018 Summer Wardrobe Plan.

Before I start my Summer wardrobe planning, it’s time for the 2018 Winter Wardrobe Update.

I was recently reading a book discussing the psychological effects of deprivation. Regardless of whether that’s cigarettes, cars, or a wardrobe diet.

The most common event outfit code today is Cocktail Dress; a semi-formal day/night transitional wear. It came about during the inter-war years when it was common to meet in the evening for a quick drink before dressing (black tie) for dinner.

Now and again there are times you need to be in public as yourself, only better.  When you’re being a public figure, you need a public appearance outfit that makes it clear you’re “someone”.

Now and again, it happens that you just don’t want to be bothered by other people. So today, we’re building an outfit for when you want to be left alone.

My local cinema was so dark I thought it had closed down until a bunch of people in gym gear walked out, so I decided it was time for a Movie Outfit.

I’ve been preoccupied with shoes lately, or more accurately, the adequacy of them. And what a shoe wardrobe might look like. And what it would take to look after my feet better.

Today I’m looking at a brunch outfit. In case you don’t know, brunch is a late breakfast you eat around lunchtime.

This one comes from Judy in Minnesota who sent me an email asking, among other things, about my research outfit. Recently I wore to the library for research.

As I mentioned in my Summer Update there have been some changes in my dressing requirements, so it’s time to plan out my 2018 Winter Wardrobe Plan.

Let me start by saying while there was no plan, I thought I’d do a 2017 Summer Wardrobe Update anyway because I learned a few useful things in the meantime.

With my recent surgical visit fresh in my mind, today I’m offering a hospital admission outfit. This outfit is for your first day at hospital, whether that’s for a day procedure, overnight, or a longer stay. Your hospital will tell you about any other items you should bring with you. Climate/Location/Activities The first thing to note…

I could win gold medals for procrastination, so it seems to me that I (and my friend Katy) need an Outfit to Inspire Action.

I’ve been asked a couple of times now, what would make a good Christmas Party Outfit. On the one hand, a perfectly reasonable request, and on the other, a complete nightmare given the different kinds of Christmas Party you could be attending.

Spring is here, the Racing Carnival is off and running, and it’s time to think about a Race Meeting Outfit.

Weather’s warming up, I’m starting to think about what to wear on hot days. But first, here’s my 2017 Winter Wardrobe Update.

All of us at one point or another will need a Headshot Outfit, even if it’s just for your passport or drivers licence. And these days, you will most likely get one for your work security card, and increasingly your employer’s website too!

Following my encouragement to visit the Hokusai exhibition, it seems only fair to build a Art Gallery Outfit.

I’m sitting, wrapped in blankets, envying my Northern friend’s summer plans. Today I’m imagining myself there and planning a Music Festival Outfit.

Like the other aspects of presence, you need to think about how your signature hairstyle fits your life before you go to the salon.

I witnessed a guy trying to get into a pub where he was barred, and I thought it would be useful to have an outfit to conceal your identity. I mean, if the Queen can do it, so can we!

Unveilings are generally solemn afternoon ceremonies that reveal a statue or monument for the first time. Your Unveiling Outfit should be an appropriately respectful semi-formal or formal outfit.

In my recent wardrobe planning posts (Winter 2017 and Summer 2016) I mentioned my need for a Errand Outfit, and Jane reached to ask what that is.

The mornings are cool and dark, with recent storms, and summer time ends this weekend, so it’s time to think about my 2017 Winter Wardrobe Plan.

We are united by the desire to enjoy the good weather, and one way to do this is to don your Picnic Outfit and head to the beach or a park for a picnic.

Today’s Valentines Day Outfit is something to wear on a dinner date rather than something to commemorate the Christian Saint Valentinus.

Often at these times of transition, we change our hair and buy new clothes to symbolise the change. So today, we’re looking at a Fresh Start Outfit.

I hadn’t intended to write a post detailing my 2016 Summer Wardrobe update, but you asked, so here it is.

When you hear the term “empire line outfit” (or dress), this is the sort of thing that is referred to; the signature style of Emperor Napoleon I’s first wife Joséphine de Beauharnais. Or, if you were English (and at war with France), it would be Regency style. (Think Jane Austen and Pride and Prejudice). Though technically…

You come home from work ready to get changed and settle down to get your 1,667 words down. What are you going to wear? Your NaNoWriMo Outfit!

Like many others, I’m starting to think about new season clothes. It’s time to plan out my 2016 summer wardrobe plan

One of the outfits that has vexed me for some time is a Working from Home Outfit. For me at least, it’s going to be similar to the outfit for office work, because that is essentially what I am doing.

The weather is changing, the shops are selling off old stock, and you’re adapting your wardrobe for the new season. It’s time to plan an outfit for shopping.

Elvis Presley died 16 August 1977, and today is the start of the annual Elvis Week in Memphis Tennessee. People dress in their Elvis Tribute Outfits, and take part in an

We lost another shrub to the storms, and with a fair bit of clean up to do, it seems the right time to talk about building a Yard Work Outfit.

I know that some people don’t quite get what I mean by appropriateness in clothing. So today we’re talking about how to choose an appropriate cardigan by discussing why I have two red cardigans in my wardrobe.

This is the season for fashion advisors to start telling you what new and expensive clothes you need to buy to make your Office Work Outfit for the next five minutes (before the next lot of essentials come out).

I’ve been reading Mary Brooks Picken again. She calls it distinctive dressing, but it’s more along the lines of “dress like who you are”. Something I talk about in my book Signature Wardrobe Planning.

Your Outfit for Air Travel is another one of those things that have changed over time.

Football season’s finally here! Hot enough to feel sorry for the boys running around on field, but still time to start thinking about your Outfit for Watching Football.

Today I want to talk about clothing quality. In the main because there has been a recent push for people to buy fewer, higher quality garments that last longer.
