Diane von Furstenberg ‘Didi’ wrap dress – I’ve always been fond of DVF dresses due to their figure-flattering shapes and vibrant patterns, but they’ve been missing from my closet over the past few years. Looking back, I’m sure that has a lot to do with the pandemic when I lost touch with my personal style. I’ve been rediscovering my love of getting dressed again, which has left me feeling lackluster about my existing wardrobe — especially in terms of workwear. On my search for fit-and-flare jersey dresses, I came across the “Didi” dress on The Outnet and immediately ordered it. It’s a shirtdress-meets-wrap style so you still have the waist-cinching (and size accommodating) benefit of a wrap, but it eliminates the worry of the top gaping open. I love it so much that I wanted another one and saw the pattern above on the DVF site — which was on sale, but sold out online before I was able to buy it. Fortunately, an incredibly helpful sales associate at the New York flagship store was able to locate one and ship it to me.
Schoolhouse ‘Owen’ side table – I actually purchased this side table right before Christmas during Schoolhouse’s generous holiday sale. I found myself coming back to it over and over to admire the industrial-inspired design and saturated enameled colors. Beyond that, I feel like small moveable tables are always useful to have around. The table comes flat-packed for self-assembly. The center tube has two channels that steel rods go through to connect the base to the top, so it ends up being really sturdy.
Amazon chunky gold hoops – I’ve been debating this pair of Mejuri earrings for a few months now, but I don’t really need another pair of chunky earrings. I talked myself out of them, only to come across this $10 pair on Amazon that are a decent dupe. The dimensions are almost identical and the Amazon pair claims to be sterling silver (which I have doubts about). The gold plating is pretty light and they look more silver than gold sometimes.
Margaux ‘The Demi’ in silver – When my favorite ballet flats were on sale, how could I say no to the silver version that I had been eyeing up? This color does run a bit smaller than my other pairs. I’m not sure if they’ll stretch out as much with additional wear. I’ll report back.
Danner ‘Arctic 600’ winter boots – If you’re in need of a truly practical winter boot, look no further. These are supremely comfortable, waterproof, and have excellent traction. Obviously, you’d want to buy a taller boot if you think you’ll be traipsing through deep snow, but for less accumulation or shoveled surfaces, these are well worth the money.
