Of Everything I Bought This Year, These 8 Pieces Were the Best, Hands Down

I don't know about you, but I acquired a lot of stuff this year. I guess it comes with the territory when you're a fashion editor and basically shop for a living. Even though I always make an effort to shop wisely, I admit to making regrettable purchases from time to time. But I'm here to talk about the zero-regret ones that I've worn over and over this year.

Relatively speaking, narrowing this list down to seven items was a challenge, but those are the restraints I put on myself, so I adhered. I do love a good investment buy (especially when it's something I can wear on repeat, like a bag), but some of my best buys of the year were less than $100 and can be worn just as much.

Scroll to shop my smartest purchases of 2019. You'll find everything from the It bag I've been carrying constantly this winter to the Zara jacket I seriously can't believe I hesitated to buy.
