There are very few things I *need* in my closet right now. However, I am looking for a couple of specific items in unique designs and silhouettes.
One of my favorite follows on TikTok is @pigmami, who has been guiding followers on how to assess their wardrobe in the new year—not only in terms of what is missing but in a way that encourages you to reorganize your space so you can optimally style what you have. I LOVED this suggestion so I spent some time looking at what I already have in my closet and organizing style inspiration on my phone. Then I made a list of a few of the unique clothing items and accessories I’d love to add to the mix, which I’m sharing below!
Here are five unique clothing items and accessories I’m shopping for right now.
1. A Great Pair of Trousers
Alex Mill Boy Pant in Rugged Corduroy
$155
I probably need to build out this category in my wardrobe the most. Pants have been notoriously difficult to shop for since giving birth to my second child, which means I often avoid the hard work of trial and error to find the right fit. I love to see a more relaxed trouser silhouette being offered! I have my eye on this pair from Alex Mill. I’m loving the richness of these inky blue corduroys.
2. A Pair of Western Boots
Azalea Wang Sally Western Boot
$99
These kinds of boots are all about playfulness and would change how I style all of my dresses, skirts, and leggings. A whole bunch of new outfits could be made by this one pair of boots, which makes them a priority for me, even though they’re a little out of my comfort zone.
3. A Beautiful Silk Scarf

Prices Vary
I’d like to become someone who incorporates scarves into their outfit styling—nothing more than that! The Hermès silk scarf pictured here is a gorgeous option.
4. A Midi Skirt
Mango Midi Denim Skirt
$60
I have a plethora of tops but I’ve mostly been wearing them with similar kinds of pants. I’d love a new skirt to mix things up. I’d wear sweaters untucked over it with the previously mentioned boots.
5. A Puffer Jacket
H&M Hooded Puffer Jacket
$50
Most often in the winter months, I can be found wearing some kind of long coat. A cropped jacket that’s super warm is one way to create a whole new look for all of my outfits, whether I’m running out the door for school drop-off or running errands. I love the idea of getting a brightly-colored green jacket! I also have this Uniqlo cropped jacket in the brown color, which I love.
