Seasonal wishlist: what I want to buy for fall/winter 2022
Hi everyone! I'm sorry for the delay; today has been crazy busy. I just turned off my corporate laptop and switched my mind to the blog.
Today's post is one of my all-time favorites because it's time for me to share my seasonal wishlist with you! I've already started shopping for fall-winter, even if there are 30 degrees here in Milan. Anywho, I found some special deals, and I had to! But there are a few things on my wishlist that I haven't seen or I haven't had the chance to buy yet, so it's the perfect opportunity to share them today and manifest them with you!
Seasonal wishlist: why do I make it?
Before heading into the actual wishlist, I wanted to share why I make this wishlist for all the seasons. It's a recent habit because I started last year, but it's a game changer. Last year I had the biggest clear out of my closet, and I realized that my shopping was impulsive. So, I had a disconnected closet with rugged clothes and frustration. When I cleared it out because of my size change, I started making a list of the basics I needed, the kind of fit I wanted, and the clothes I had to replace. Since then, my shopping experience has been more conscious. I do a lot of research before buying something, and I look especially on Vinted or other second-hand platforms. Also, the quality is better, and I always have something to wear.
I mean, I'm not trying to create a capsule wardrobe. But, I'm building a closet full of clothes I love, wear, and are intended to last.
Last but not least, the wishlist makes me save a considerable amount of money! I don't make impulsive purchases anymore, lots of my clothes are second-hand, and I bought them for a fraction of the retail price. This method lets me go shopping more often, and I don't get frustrated! I told you it was a game-changer!
Seasonal wishlist: what I want to buy for fall/winter 2022
For this season, I have already found some gems. I can write a dedicated blog post about it if you want - let me know in the comments below! But today is about what I want to buy for fall/winter 2022.
My research for the perfect black oversized blazer is on. I want to buy it second-hand because I love vintage fabrics, especially for the fall/winter season. Also, the cost is hands down more affordable! I already started my blazer collection last year, but the perfect black one is still missing.
Same for the denim. Last year, I bought a pair of denim from Mango that I wore till death. So, this year I have to replace it. I'm looking for good denim fabric without elastane, super high-waisted, and wide legs. Also, I would love to have these jeans in different shades.
Then, a comfortable matching set because it is versatile and saves me when I can't overthink. Also, I can wear it as loungewear or to go out.
A light color coatigan is my dream. I found a black one two years ago, and I wear it every time during the cold months. So, I would love to buy a good one with a light color, like oatmeal or cream.
Last but not least, there are two purchases I'm craving. The viral SKIMS dress that I could wear all year around. It's perfect for layering! And a pair of sneakers, like the Reebok Club c85. But the shoes are a bit tricky because I have to wear orthopedic insoles, and some are impossible for me.
