2023 was a good year for me as far as HEWIs (highly elusive wardrobe item) are concerned. I bought summer dresses and for the first time in decades I bought more dresses than summer pants. I bought my first summer maxi dress in 2021.
#1. After long search, I found replacement pair of cream jeans on Poshmark.
#2. I bought navy loafers - a navy pair of flats was on my list for a few years. Didn’t expect it to be loafers, I love the style but it is not bunion friendly. But these ones are so soft!
#3. I’m replacing my winter boots due to injury. These boots fit, the leather is soft but I still have to wait to test them. The weather has been mild in December.

#4. I don’t even remember how long a black dressy shell has been on my shopping list. I’m happy with this one - fits well under blazer and looks good on its own. Does not require alterations - a big bonus.
#5. I go back and forth on the special occasion dressing. I don’t have a need for it, might have the most one event a season. But I wanted a black dress that would be waiting in the wings just in case, however it was kind of a unicorn dress because of my requirements - not expensive, dressy enough, not trendy and the cut would allow some weight fluctuations. I bought this one from COS for $70Can and very happy with it. It’s been probably 7 years since I updated my evenings wear - would like to find a new bag and maybe a pair of sandals.
Were you able to find any HEWIs last year?
