2027 Planned Acquisitions
*Strategizing for next year's essentials, from tech transitions to wardrobe staples*
The Strategy
I'm still not even done with 2026, so it is a bit early to plan for 2027. However, as most of my main purchases are already complete for this year, I wanted to start strategizing ahead for next year. But I'm going to count my MacBook Pro purchase as a future 2027 budget item and pull it forward this year as I want to accelerate my studies and learning.
Wardrobe Upgrades
I need a better T-shirt and will opt for Vuori as my main brand, while Uniqlo will be reserved for layering. I also want to complete my jacket collection with a specific Alpha Industries piece.
- →Vuori T-Shirts — Two high-quality main shirts ($128 total)
- →Uniqlo U-Crew T-Shirts — Two shirts for layering purposes ($30 total)
- →Uniqlo Sweatshirt — Single comfortable layer ($40)
- →Levi 512 Jeans — Slim taper denim essential ($30)
- →Stan Smith Sneakers — Classic footwear in size 10 ($50)
- →Alpha Industries Bomber Jacket — Sage Green edition to complete my collection ($200)
Technical Infrastructure
The main investment of the year will be a new computer. I am considering an M4 Pro MacBook Pro with a larger 24GB RAM configuration. This will be a major shift for me as I transition from Windows to MacOS.
- →Apple MacBook Pro M4 Pro — 24GB RAM // 512 GB SSD configuration ($1,800)
Creative Tools
Lastly, I really enjoyed the Lamy Safari and will get a second pen so I always have at least one fully inked.
- →Lamy Safari Fountain Pen — A second unit to ensure consistent ink availability ($37)
