Always wanted one and found one I liked at the right price. It adds polish and structure to my uber-casual outfits and looser fits which is nice.<br />- <b>happy pink sweater</b>. Dopamine piece!<br />- <b>Everlane tees</b> - by far the nicest tees I've ever had. Love them.<br />- <b>501s </b>- 90s fabness. Have easily hit 30 wears this fall/winter.<br />- <b>Printed blouse</b>. Surprisingly versatile wild card and my dressy-uppy go to piece.</p> <p><b>Honourable mention - plain black baseball hat</b>. Actually a 2022 purchase but featured prominently in my day-to-day style this year. Channeling my inner Kendall Roy when I don't have time to do my hair!</p> <p>Thanks for reading, for your kindness and encouragement this year, and for generall being FAB!! xoxo</p>
