Both personally and professionally, 2022 was a big year! Life is not without its ups and downs, and we experienced a healthy dose of both. But yet, not to gloss over the more challenging parts of life, I love to end the year focusing on the good. If there’s one way to banish a bad mood, it’s that. Though anything can happen, 2023 looks promising and I’m excited to see how it all unfolds. But before we move on to 2023, here’s a 2022 year in review- favorites style!
Favorite Outfit(s): I rounded up my favorite outfits from 2022 into this classic outfit inspiration graphic below!
Favorite Books:
For self-reflection- Happiness Is a Serious Problem, Margin/The Overload Syndrome
For entertainment- It Ends With Us, The Midnight Library
Favorite Comment, Email, or Message I Received:
Favorite Clothing Purchase(s): Based on how much I wore these items throughout the year, my favorite clothing purchases were these Sam Edelman Waterproof Knee High Boots (sold out, sorry) and a Goyard tote bag that I scored used.
Favorite Trip: Paris, of course!
Favorite Project: Launched a course, an in-depth secondary guide to my eBook, How to Build a Wardrobe From Scratch. Thousands of women have benefitted from our fashion resources this year and that makes it all worth it!
Favorite Photos: The Dreamy Parisian Balcony Photoshoot, Fresh Flowers in Paris photoshoot, and the Sunset at the Biltmore photoshoot.
Favorite Family Moments: 2022 was a year of change, transition, and adjustment. We found solace in God’s creation by exploring, getting dirty, and playing at our land. These were our favorite memories as a family. Our 4-year-old would say the same!
Favorite Work Projects for the New Year: We’ve got another eBook coming!! This is not another companion to building your wardrobe, yet it has foundational tips that can help anyone and everyone. That’s all I’m going to say for now!
Thank you Google Photos, for helping me piece my life together this past year. If I didn’t have a camera roll to look back on, my memory would be full of black holes!

P.S.- It is never, ever my intention to offend people or make them feel bad for the way they dress. My hope is only helpful guidance and though a lot of the messages and comments I get are downright rude and nasty, I actually do appreciate reading (most of) them because I always want to know how content is received and how I can make it better. I am always trying to learn and improve. After all, my business is you, the reader!
Your Favorite Year: It’s 2022! It was the best year yet with views increasing by 4 million.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for making the favorite moments from this year even possible. Getting to celebrate these milestones with you happens because of your incredible support. Thank you for daily checking out MCO for your fashion tips, purchasing something through a link, or investing in yourself through our eBook or course.
That’s a wrap for 2022. But I can’t wait to share what next year has in store for you, your wardrobe, and your fashion.
Until then, stay chic.
A think there is never a need to be rude just because I disagree with someone. At least share a different opinion thoughtfully and kindly. Or move along. I’m wishing you kind readers in 2023!
I appreciate it! And yes I agree with you. Of course, I don’t expect everyone to think the same, but there are certainly better ways to share a different opinion! (If that’s even needed)
Your blog is fantastic. I find it very accessible and I credit it with completely change the way I shop and dress, saving money and producing less waste. Thank you!
Happy New Year!!
I see the tan leather pants several times here but don’t know where to buy them. Can you please provide a source.
Thank you
Happy New Year to you! The tan color is sold out, but these are similar.
