2022 in Outfits

My annual outfit round up is one of my favourite posts of the year. In 2022 I set myself the challenge of a new outfit post every month because I didn't have a lot to choose from for my 2021 post and outfits used to be a staple of my blog.

While I didn't quite manage a post as frequently as once a month I did post an amazing 13 new outfit of the day posts most featuring secondhand finds to build a more sustainable wardrobe. 

Embroidered Spring Wedding Outfit | The Hobbs Cadence Dress

I found it a real challenge to find a dress for my cousins wedding in March. As I wear dresses regularly I wanted one for a wedding to feel extra special and after a few false starts that has to be resold on eBay I fell in love with this Monsoon one. I'm thinking it might come to Paris with me later this month.

The Hobbs Cadence Dress was a charity shop find I couldn't leave behind. While I don't find it the most wearable it feels gorgeous and grown up to wear. I'm hoping there will be a work event I will have to dress up for soon.

Kathleen Dungarees and Beach Fun | Another Claire Wrap Dress

These green dungarees were in my most recent 'This is Unfolded' purchase and I wore them so much during the summer. They were so easy to throw on to run errands or take the dog to the beach - I can't wait until it's warm enough to wear them again.

Speaking of 'This is Unfolded' I couldn't resist adding another Claire wrap dress to my collection when some extra stock became available in the summer. Maybe a lot of people would find the bright yellow intimidating but I think it's perfect. 

A Button Through Linen Dress | The Perfect Sage Green Wrap Dress

Another charity shop find I didn't know I was missing was this blue linen dress. It is such a nice fit on me and so easy to throw on and head out of the house in a rush (which I'm always doing) and it has pockets. 

I must have been going through a bit of a green phase because in my 'This is Unfolded' order I also picked up this wrap dress. Annoyingly, I has to size up which meant a few weeks finding another one with fellow unfolders but the end result is really good. 

An Autumn Look for Second Hand September | Power Dressing in Dark Green Suede

You can see the weather had started to shift for my secondhand September post featuring a dress I got in a bundle from Facebook Marketplace and a bargain Ralph Lauren cardigan I've worn so often I got on Vinted. 

In keeping with the time of year I also shared a post layering this awesome Calvin Klein dress with a blouse from my first 'This is Unfolded' order from early 2021. I'm so happy I've found a new way to wear items that were already in my wardrobe for another look.

Autumn Checked Skirts and Cable Knits | A Christmas Party Outfit

I'm wearing my Ralph Lauren cardigan again but this time with a Hobbs skirt I found in the charity shop. The autumnal colours were perfect for the time of year and this is an item I find really easy to work into lots of outfits in my wardrobe. 

Finally, the outfit I wore to my works charity party. The most perfect princess tulle skirt I picked up in the charity shop for a fraction of the cost it would have been new. No the most wearable item in my wardrobe but I'll keep it for years so I will get plenty of outings and failing that I will just wear it to Aldi...
