Earlier this week I popped into Assembly Label; mostly because I was seeking out a very specific sweater that I’d spied in their “coming soon” section. A little gung-ho of me as it hasn’t actually dropped yet, but I thought rather than call it a bust, I’d try on a few things while I was there.

To some extent, I’ve been putting off reviewing my summer most worn items for 2024. It’s still hot here in Sydney.
