Hi all!
I am honoured to take over this weekend synch from the fabulous @SmokeAndSky, who entertained us from June 2021 to June 2022 with her inspiring themes and prompts.
In the spirit of her synch, I have created list of themes for each weekend between June 2022 and June 2023, based loosely on my own wardrobe and preferences and the seasons in my hemisphere. However, I have tried to come up with quite a few abstract and creative themes that should suit many people. I hope these themes will inspire you to see your wardrobe in a whole new light.
The idea is that you can join each weekend, either for one day or both, depending on what works for you.
I hope you will all join me on this journey!

| Weekend | Theme | ||
| June 4 & 5 | Parsley, sage, rosemary & thyme | Let's start off with a palate cleanser; raid the kitchen garden for some fresh herbs! | |
| June 11 & 12 | Groovy! | Disco, bell bottoms & chest hair! Pick a scent that transports you back to the 70s. | |
| June 18 & 19 | A Midsummer Night's Dream | Enchanted forests & shrewd and knavish sprites | |
| June 25 & 26 | Garden party glamour | What it says on the tin | |
| July 2 & 3 | Wildflowers & weeds | Category is: things that grow by the side of the road | |
| July 9 & 10 | Live long & prosper | Scent your favourite sci fi character; what would a Vulcan wear? | |
| July 16 & 17 | Honeysuckle | Ok, this theme is entirely self serving and rather specific. I'm looking for a scent that resembles honeysuckle, and not just any type of honeysuckle, but this one:
The plants tend to be spindly, the blossoms purplish, and they smell like the nectar of the gods. I have never smelled a perfume that captures this scent, and I very much would like to. It smells different from this variety (bushy, with yellow/white flowers) of honeysuckle, which smells more lemony and jasmine like. 
Also lovely, but I'm looking for the former. Anyone? | |
| July 23 & 24 | Tan lines & freckles | Lounging around the pool on a long, lazy summer's day | |
| July 30 & 31 | 1001 nights | Something inspired by Scheherazade, a tale within a tale | |

| |
| August 20 & 21 | The milkyway | There's nothing like looking up at the night sky on a late summer's night and pondering the meaning of life. We hear space smells like burnt metal though…. | |

| September 2 & 3 | B%tch slap | It's hard to get back into gear after the summer, so choose a scent that snaps you out of it | |
| September 9 & 10 | That new book smell | Back to work or school with some fresh supplies | |
| September 16 & 17 | Osmanthusgeddon | Bring your best Osmanthus | |
| September 23 & 24 | Harvest moon | A full moon around the autumn equinox, doesn't it sound poetic? | |
| September 30 & October 1 | Sartorial excellence | A scent to complement your perfect outfit and/or make up look | |
| October 8 & 9 | Into the woods | You can go anywhere with this prompt | |
| October 15 & 16 | Sweater weather | Bring on the fuzzy jumpers! | |
| October 22 & 23 | "If I'd been a ranch, they would have named me the Bar Nothing" | Smell like a film noir fantasy. I'll be over here, channeling Gilda | |
