Picked up five(!) clothing packages today. I'm systematically downsizing/upgrading my wardrobe for the first time (at 40+ and a stable-ish size). Actually had a couple of meetings with a stylist and all (which I would recommend, mine was excellent even when I told her I wasn't going to do some of the things she thought were important).

  • used dark green/orange/white pattern shibori scarf, gorgeous, love it, recommend
  • used dark green european-style (rounded corners) thick wool shawl(?)/long shoulder wrap, gorgeous, perfect for autum or layering, recommend
  • used colorful viscose scarf, brand name, kind of disappointing, too thick for summer and too bright for any other season, not recommended
  • dark turquoise alpaca cardigan, gods that was expensive, gods that's gorgeous, recommended depending what your priorities are
  • grey alpaca knit skirt, knit skirts are a new thing for me so we'll see, recommended based on your style and priorities
  • a small haul from a basic clothing store, of basic cotton, cotton/viscose, or viscose/polyamide based tunics and pants, unfortunately the fits were off, keeping just one set of pants but trying another size of a tunic, not recommended :/

In general it's probably all up to your personality/style, shape, and colours.
