Things I rewore this week #1

Styling older clothes from my closet in a way that feels now

Hi dear TIDBTW, today I want to share a quote that has the power to change the way I dress. I recently came across the wardrobe report 2025 by

Indyx
. On page 7 it says:

“Over a third of our wardrobe was bought in the last year, and nearly ¾ was bought in the last 3 years.”

There are obviously other interesting (and unsettling) observations in this report (you should check it out!), but somehow this particular data really stuck with me. It felt personal. When I’m thinking I have and wear a lot of clothes for years and years already, how long exactly are we talking?

In this new weekly edit I’m finally putting in some extra effort to rewear some overlooked things, putting attention to when I purchased them. And why I (still) like them. I want to know! And try to recreate the trends I’m currently craving before buying into them.

Here is what I rewore this week, to work, dressed up for cute (lunch) meetings and just to feel comfy. Are you with me?
