As someone who actually did move to a new city about two years ago despite never thinking I would, I can tell you that, among other things, it’s the perfect time to revamp your wardrobe and, thus, your life. From little things like investing in new, adult pajamas (probably for the first time) rather than lugging your old sleep T-shirts around to making bigger purchases like a classic piece of jewelry that will always remind you of the milestone you’re experiencing, such updates will not only make your transition to a new place more enjoyable and comfortable, but can also give you the confidence to take on whatever life throws at you in the process. Read about and shop everything else that made the list below.
New Pajamas
If, like me, your previous collection consisted of old T-shirts, there's no time like a move to upgrade.
A Classic Piece of Jewelry
Not only will you keep it forever, but it will always remind you of this major milestone.
Hands-Free Bag
Perfect for spontaneous weekend activities so that nothing holds you back.
It may not be a fashion item, but this washing machine (rated highest in customer satisfaction two years running) is a worthy addition to your wardrobe.
A Trench Coat
Ideally, a super-classic one.
Walking Shoes
For all the exploring you're about to do!
New Hangers
Now that you'll be starting with a fresh closet, go in ready with sleek hangers that help you save space and keep things tidy.
A Going-Out Top
Something for those nights when you just want to take it up a notch.
The Perfect Jeans
Nothing gives you confidence like a great-fitting pair.
Jewelry Box
A decorative and functional piece to keep by your bedside.
A New Wallet
A small victory in the grand scheme of getting organized.
A Getting-Ready Robe
Because you deserve it.
The Wear-Anywhere Dress
This will come in handy for any last-minute events life throws your way.
A Structured Handbag
For adding polish to your outfit every day.
A Season-Less Blazer
Wear this as your jacket in the warmer months and as a layer when it cools down. Either way, it will give your look a polished touch.
Feel-Good Lingerie
Why not?
Good Black Heels
If you don't already own a pair you love…
A Simple Pouch
For added organization in your purse and easy transferring between bags.
Fresh White T-Shirt(s)
If, like me, you wear one almost every day, you might want to order in multiples.
