Happy New Year! This blog post is going to be a round-up of all of the fashion purchases I made in 2022. These pieces, I call, my forever pieces aka items I don’t plan to get rid of any time soon. And I’m sure you’ve seen me wearing them on repeat on all of my social media channels. I hope this serves well as an inspiration for you in terms of what fashion items you should buy in 2023 as well as an invitation/encouragement to start on your own fashion journey.
Cheers to 2023!
