Fashion Friday: 2022 Faves & 2023 Additions

I had some great fashion finds this year- a few things that I bought in multiples so you KNOW they are good (I never do that unless something is a very clear winner). So I edited down some of my best finds that I’ll take into 2023 and added some items I have my eye on for the new year.  Decluttering is the name of the game for me on all fronts this year- so I want to buy less but buy better (which I say every year, but maybe this year it will stick). Click images for links (except #11) also linked below!

2022:

1. These wide leg faux leather trousers from Alice & Olivia- I bought in camel and black. They fit amazing and I totally love them
2. These affordable heels have a sturdy block heel but a feminine pointed toe- bot comfortable and sexy! Own in beige and black!
3. This was SUCH a find last year- Mango makes fantastic tweed blazers. Total Chanel vibe for MUCH MUCH less. Wore it a TON.
4. I have found that the Mother High Waisted Looker skinny jeans are MY fit. They don’t sag out, the denim is thick and the ankle is slim but not too tight. I have probably 4 pairs.
5. This Vuori sweatshirt- I have in three colors and wear ALL the time! I want more colors!
6. I also found this year that Veronica Beard flare jeans are also my go to for this cut of denim. The price is steep- but these are on sale right now!
7. I’ve linked this one to death- I have in 4 colors- the perfect cashmere turtleneck. Fit, weave…. everything.
8. These cheap sunglasses (you guessed it, I own in three colors)- amazing shape, lightweight and if I lose them- NO big deal.
9. The best find of the year- these magic sticky bra things– they really lift and give great shape in backless or plunge/ low cut tops and dresses. Bets for A-C cups. I have a stockpile.

2023:

10. Simply a cute sweatshirt that you can dress up a little due to those snazzy gold snaps!

11. I’ve wanted this chic, classic duster coat for a year- might be time.

12. I own NO colored shoes. NONE. I want a fun pair of bold heels in 2023. Most of my wardrobe is super safe- this is a spot to have a little fun!

13.  Wrap dresses have always been a great cut on me- I need to buy one or two again. Love this sweater wrap dress.

14. These booties would be amazing with both jeans and skirts/dresses. Perfect slight slouch!

15. This dress just looks so chic! Where I’d wear it, who knows.  But buying things I love when I find them not for specific events in a rush.

16. I love Johanna Ortiz’s collections, but the price point is just so high. But adding something like this funky belt of hers to my wardrobe could be a good way to add the look to simpler, more affordable pieces like this Farm Rio dress.

17. Hot pink is a good color on me, and the clean structure of this dress works in winter or summer.

18. Speaking of Farm Rio, this skirt is adorable and perfect for a spring getaway (and looks a lot like Johanna Ortiz!)

19. I still carry my Chloe Marcie bag I bought 8 years ago a ton, and this new version is SO lovely but a little less bulky. One day soon I’ll be able to leave the house without any diapers and wipes and can use smaller bags!
