My best & worst purchases of 2024...

My best & worst purchases of 2024...

I hope everyone had an amazing and safe New Year. In this video I wanted to do a review of my best and worst purchases of 2024 and I'd encourage all of you to do the same with your wardrobe. While this kind of retrospective takes time, I find it helps me make more thoughtful purchases and really understand what's working (and what's not) in terms of clothing for where I'm at in my life currently.

Also apologize for the repeated use of "adore" - apparently that's my new word for 2025...

Details about everything mentioned can be found below. If something isn't listed or you have a question, feel free to leave a comment!

Hold on to those Oran sandals. They will break in and mold to your feet and then you will have forever. Always enjoy your reviews. Happy New Year!

The most chic holiday outfits are usually the simplest ones that can be worn for many occasions everyday items that you usually pair back with a more casual item to make them every day casual but when you pair two elevated basic items together and wear them with a beautiful bag and shoes and some statement jewelry always looks amazing 😍❤

Quince needs to do petite sizing. I can't shop there. Arms too long. Inseams too. Shame....😢

I love my Hedda Grande bag. Bought it for work to carry laptop and it fits perfectly.

I consider cardigans the patron garment of the obese and frumpy. However recommend a few combos to try to make the carcoal dissh one work since it has potential:
1. Push the sleeves up to your elbows. Unbutton two buttons from both the top and a bottom.
2. If you have any flared pants, fitted in the hip and thigh, pair it with those. Bonus if you have platform boots or converse. Could also work with straight leg leather pants, leather pencil skirt, and a leather boot.
3. If that doesn't alter the vibe enough add a non-metal bracelet in a black or dark brown with a thickness of a half inch or wider.
Should fix the "too proper" vibe.
