I'm not the type to make shopping resolutions. When January comes around, post-holiday gift fatigue honestly leaves me a little too exhausted to think about picking out anything for myself. Now that we're a month into the year, I'm finally finding myself inspired to look for new closet additions, whether inspired by the Haute Couture Week street style or by the latest affordable arrivals.
Currently at the top of my must-have list are pieces that fill in the gaps I've discovered within my everyday closet. You know those days when you're trying to pull an outfit together and realize that one thing is off? I try to keep track of what fixes I'm lacking and keep an eye out for them later on. Having a running list is easier for me since I have a clear idea of exactly what I'm looking for—no distractions!
As someone whose job it is to sort through thousands of new arrivals, I still sometimes feel as if I have a case of choice paralysis. Picking something new can feel daunting when there are endless options. Additions like a dark-wash miniskirt, sporty flats, and a stylish jacket for layering on cold days have risen to the top of my desires, and luckily, I've managed to find some great options at my go-to shops like Madewell, J.Crew, and Nordstrom. Ahead, shop the pieces I currently have sitting in my cart.
