You might call me crazy, but I take managing my NET-A-PORTER wish lists as seriously as if it were my job. I separate my most-wanted buys out into the different seasons, as well as different events like holidays or partywear (did you know you could have multiple lists? It’s a game changer). But, genuinely, I find them really helpful when considering which luxury pieces to actually invest in. I’ll add items I love from the new-in sections (which I regularly check thanks to my actual job of of being a Who What Wear editor), and refer back to the lists over the following weeks to make sure there’s no impulse buys or moments of madness on there that I would have regretted. I also find it really useful to see all my favourite items side by side as it’s often the case that certain pieces will jump out at me as being obviously the most versatile—items that I can totally imagine wearing with everything else on the list, for example. Not to mention the handy email updates I’ll get if items on my wish lists get low in stock or are restocked.
I’ve been working on building up my winter wish list for a while, especially since the new season designer pieces tend to drop so early these days. But now the weather is actually cold enough to wear them, I’ve been revisiting it and figuring out which handful of buys I’ll actually be adding to my wardrobe (and which I’ll be adding to my Christmas list *hint, hint*).
