I am adding 8 fashion staples to the winter 2023 lineup

I know there’s always a lot of talk around New Year’s resolutions, but I have a more complicated relationship with that concept. It’s almost 12:00 PM and we think we’ve started a new year. Something It begins. Of course, January 1st is a new beginning, but this year, I decided to start a new “beginning” a few days before 2023. why? Because there is too much pressure around the beginning of the month, in my opinion, and I can never live up to expectations.

That’s why I’ve spent the last few days of 2022 planning my workout (I kept it well within three weeks of the New Year, BTW) and cleaning out my closet, donating what no longer serves me (or as Marie Kondo says, what no longer “sparks joy”). That meant I started 2023 with an empty closet – which was a huge relief for me. I felt lighter! I felt inspired again! And by 2023 I was ready to buy on demand.

So after getting rid of some of the old, I’m investing in some new, and I thought I’d share my top 2023 shopping picks with you in case you’re in the mood for a refresh. We hope so Flashes Some inspiration (wink, wink).

Skims soft lounge long sleeve dress

Thank you for this my sister. While home for the holidays, she wore this flowy, easy Skims dress to a family dinner. It looks very beautiful And Convenient, so I asked her where it was from – “Skims” she replied – and then asked if I could try it. The fit was flawless and the fabric so soft, so naturally, I decided to invest in the $88 long-sleeve dress as well. I’ll be wearing everything from sneakers to knee-high boots this season and beyond.

Jenny Bird Bold Choker

I’ve developed an interest in big, aggressive chokers – and I think I have a big, big trend to thank for it. But really, nothing dresses up a simple chunky turtleneck (which is my winter staple) like a bold necklace. This Jenny Bird is bold, but still feels classy, ​​and I know I’ll have this in my collection for years to come. That’s why I’m fine with spending $278 on it.

Milly Sheer Wave Cami Dress

There is one promise: 2023 is the year I wear more color — or at least invest in a few superhero pieces that aren’t black. When I saw this Millie dress, I fell in love with it. Color combination! The storm in detail! The wide middle! It’s a perfect mix of lust-yet-style, and even though I know Valentine’s Day is still a few weeks away, I would definitely wear this on a date night.

LaRoude Blair ballet flat in ivory patent leather

I’ve always loved heels, but lately my focus has been on ballet flats. Maybe it’s because of the balletcore movement that’s taking the celebrity street scene by storm, or maybe it’s because the smart shoe is just that: smart. But whatever the reason, I’ve been adding new flats to my lineup, and these Larrode babies are at the top of the list. Can’t imagine this year with beautiful cashmere socks? Are you sure?

Despite this Technically Evening wear, who can you style for a night on the town? I say you can, and I sure do. The brand has other amazing loungewear, even Gwyneth Paltrow’s stamp approved – so even if this slip dress isn’t for you, I’m sure you’ll find something else you love.

Favorite girl’s favorite pant pants

Last year was the year I really got into pants, and I’ll continue to do so in 2023, which is why I’m investing in this pair from Favorite Girl. There’s nothing like the feeling of slipping into your power pants to make your mornings better. They are beautiful, elegant and versatile, so they require very little thought for styling. My favorite way to wear them right now is with casual shoes and sneakers for a more casual approach.

Sheertex Classic Sheer Tights

There is no time like the present. at last I’ll put my foot in them and invest in a second scratch-off ticket. I’ve heard good things about Sheertex hosiery (my friend has several pairs and turned me on to them) so I finally decided to add some styles to my cart while they were on sale. I love a sleek black pair for everyday wear, but if you want something more interesting, you can get a cute polka-dot or sexy backless pair.
