20 items you won’t regret buying in 2020

For my first blog post of 2020, I want to help you start the year on the right foot by making a list of 20 items you definitely won’t regret buying this year! Here is a list of my tried-and-true closet staples, and a few things on my personal shopping list, that you will wear all of 2020, and well into the new decade.

1. Glam, but inexpensive shades– Don’t get me wrong, a $300+ sunglass purchase is a good investment, but lately I’ve enjoyed not having the pressure to keep such a commonly used accessory from getting scratched and dropped.
2. Matching Top & Pants- I love a matching set because you can wear it together, pair the top with jeans, put the pants with a striped shirt…the possibilities are endless.
3. Oversized Jean Jacket– The key word here is oversized because then you can throw it over your shoulders with a midi dress, or pair it with a white bow blouse and black pants to spice up some classics.
4. Headband that doesn’t pinch– How can I justify paying $65 and up for a headband? Because the headbands made by Lele Sadoughi don’t pinch your head even when you wear them all day! Comfort is king in my book.
5. Matching Top & Pants– see number 2
6. Chanel flats- I’ve been wearing Chanel flats for about a decade, and I just cannot find another shoe that beats them. They always add the perfect amount of polish to everything, including sweatpants, and are so comfortable. I also love my Chanel-inspired kitten heels!
7. Gold bangle you can wear every day– Usually “every day jewelry” means dainty, understated pieces, but I love perpetually wearing something with a little more oomph.
8. Sleeveless Trench– Whether you pair this with leggings and a white button up, or make it more polished with a pleated midi skirt and blouse, a sleeveless trench is a must-have.
9. Casual Leopard Bag– I didn’t realize how much I would carry a casual leopard bag until Clare V. gifted this bag to me this fall. It goes with so much!
10. Well-made striped shirt– You can find a great striped shirt at any price, but if you’re going to wear one often, I suggest treating yourself to a well-made version.
11. Statement Jacket– Such a great piece to throw over jeans and a t-shirt on your way out to dinner, or to really dress up with a coordinating outfit.
12. Simple earrings that pack a punch– Last Christmas my mom gave me some vintage Chanel earrings that fit this exact description, and I’ve worn them at least weekly.
13. Something Camo– Like leopard, camo has become a modern-day essential, so a jacket, button up or camo pair of pants is a MUST.
14. Classic Red Heels– They add the perfect amount of color to most outfits, and look amazing with distressed jeans.
15. Pleated Midi Skirt– I wear mine with sneakers and heels, t-shirts and blouses. They are so versatile!
16. Lady bag that goes from day to night– Adds polish to anything you pair it with, and is great for travel.
17. This exact leopard blouse– I own this exact one, and I’m obsessed. It goes so well from work to weekend!
18. Pajama Set– It’s just fantastic to feel put-together, even when you’re sleeping.
19. Luxe Makeup Bag– It’s not the most exciting purchase at first, but you use a makeup bag multiple times daily, so the cost per wear is like zero.
20. Fancy Sneakers– At first I wasn’t into the whole $600 sneaker thing, but when you think about how much you wear sneakers, it’s totally a solid investment.
