Welcome to Dressed for My Day! We’re winding down the year with a few review posts. Earlier this week I took a deep dive into my analytics to discover the 22 Top Sellers at DFMD in 2022 and the 22 Top Blog Posts in 2022. It’s always beneficial for me to see what resonates with my readers. But I’ve also been reflecting on how my own personal style has evolved this year as I listed out my 22 Favorite Outfits of the year. Today I’m continuing with that vein of thought as I share my 22 favorite fashions purchases in the last 12 months.

Top 22 in 2022

Probably next Monday I’ll wrap up these reflective posts with my 22 favorite beauty product purchases. But today I’ve looked through my purchases in 2022 and determined the clothing and accessories that have meant the most to me this year. These are pieces that have

Nordstrom’s big, beautiful Half-Yearly Sale (winter edition) is here, and there’s quite a lot to see. The sale will continue through January 2, but if you want the cream of the crop from the sale to be yours, shopping now is strongly advised.

The days between Christmas and New Year’s Day are some of my favorite days of the year to shop. I’ve found that that’s when some of the year’s best deals can be had. While scrolling through Nordstrom’s sale section, I found outerwear, denim, boots, beauty products, home items, and more that are an extra 25% off the sale price, so yeah, you’re getting a deal here.

Below, I’ve rounded up my top 25 finds from Nordstrom’s Half-Yearly Sale and they’re so good, I almost didn’t want to share them because I’m still deciding what to order myself. But these are too good to gatekeep so let’s shop

Have you noticed the big trend with faux suede and faux leather this season? Today I am sharing my twist on a few of these items and I am also showing how to wear a few items in different ways to get more outfits and more bang for your buck! I am even sharing my look with faux leather pants for a comfy cozy weekend! Let me know what your thoughts are on the faux suede and faux leather trend…I would LOVE to hear it!!

It’s July, and summer is in full swing this year. Unlike the last two years, many people can now pack up their gear and head to their favourite travel destination. Some are looking forward to sipping champagne on a Parisian balcony, drinking cappuccino at a Roman cafe, or downing some cocktails on a Caribbean beach. No matter where you are heading this summer, you indeed must load your suitcase with the latest trends in summer dresses.

What are the latest summer dress trends in 2022?

My opinion about summer dress trends is that they don’t genuinely exist. There’s not a rule in the world that dictates summer dress trends. Summer is all about freedom, joy, and comfort. But there are usually specific styles that dominate a season, which I will share in this post.

Quality vs. price!

When I put together this blog and started sorting out pieces

In a time where many of us are leaning towards more basic and comfortable dressing, accessories are key. Whether it’s a fun necklace or a loud pair of socks, any touch of pizazz to an outfit is very much appreciated right now. While I could talk about all kinds of accessories for a very long time (trust me, I can), today’s topic of discussion is one of my favorites—hats. And as winter is slowly approaching, there are some styles that have carried their way over from the warmer months and some that have been reinvented for the new season ahead.

This wouldn’t be a Who What Wear story if we didn’t inform of you the latest trends you’ll be seeing this season, so ahead you’ll find 4 hat styles that we’re adding to our wardrobes right now, and we even shopped them out for you so you can add a

This is packable and it’s very lightweight, which makes it comfortable to wear. You can also

If you’re from the US or Canada, you’ve heard of the term bucket list. Unfortunately, no one knows when this term became a thing, though it derives from an 18th-century word referencing death – kick the bucket. It wasn’t until the 2007 movie The Bucket List that we became more familiar with this new phrase.  

Definition of bucket list

According to Dictionary, a bucket list is:

“A list of things a person wants to achieve or experience before reaching a certain age or dying.”

It sounds morbid, mainly for a midlife person. We don’t want to think of the end of life in our prime. I believe midlife is a stage where we should enjoy vitality and do things we missed in our 20s and 30s. In their 40s and 50s, midlifers celebrate liberation from family obligations and want to partake in new adventures and experiences.

Every so often I discover a trend that I somehow missed in the early predictions. That’s the story with this longer length puffer or quilted vest. I’m seeing them everywhere. And I do think the long puffer vest has a higher chic factor than it’s sister hip length vest that’s been around for years now. So today I thought I’d take a swing at styling the long puffer vest.

Long Puffer Vest Winter Trend to Try
belted faux fur collar puffer vest // stretch straight leg corduroy pants // striped puff shoulder turtleneck // brown suede boots // earrings // shoulder bag no longer available

Now let me be the first to say that I’m not thrilled with this first try at styling this lovely belted faux fur collar puffer vest. Let me explain. I actually wore these caramel colored stretch straight leg corduroy pants to church on Sunday with a different sweater. We needed

Nobody appreciates a fresh-off-the-runway red carpet moment more than I do, but I get particularly excited when celebs choose to do the opposite and wear vintage pieces instead. Breathing new life into past-season garments is not only sustainable but incredibly chic. This is something celebrity stylist Mimi Cuttrell certainly knows a thing or two about, as she recently partnered with Depop because of her passion for vintage fashion. 

“There are so many unique pieces out there—designer and non-designer—that deserve to be repurposed into modern-day wardrobes,” Cuttrell told Who What Wear. “Depop has such a wide variety of sellers, shops, and pieces that (with some intense searching at times) can elevate anyone’s closet. What resonated with me most about the company is that buying second-hand is more sustainable and environmentally friendly.” Cuttrell also elaborated on exactly how she uses the platform when dressing her clients. “I source items from Depop by
