I’m reposting the graphic below (that I put together last year) with some updated links. I’m proud of these classics and find that they truly are classics. Everything is STILL, well, a classic and therefore still just as a relevant. You can’t go wrong.
Goes to show how truly classic these pieces are! I actually went thrifting the other day hoping to find a nice trench coat. I found one from Brooks Brothers in basically new condition and it was only $30, but it was too large on me–I was heartbroken! -Audrey | Brunch at Audrey’s
That J. Crew camel structured cardigan is literally the best cardigan I’ve ever owned. I bought it to wear on long international flights to stay warm, and I loved it so much that I got it in three more colors to wear to work. It’s so comfortable, the pockets are big enough to fit a phone easily, and it’s so cozy while still looking put together because of the nice structure to it. I’m obsessed with that cardigan, great pick!

This list is amazing! I am a sucker for nice coats and shoes. I definitely splurged on my Burberry quilted jacket and Barbour wax coat and shoes like Tory Burch flats and Frye riding boots. Especially in a cold climate, you wear your coat everyday and it’s worth spending more! Plus I will have those pieces forever!
Tonight we achieved the impossible! @wishbonekitchen’s swamp soup received a “no notes” stamp of approval from Mike 🙌🏻 it’s filling, healing, and so fresh! Highly recommend!!! 💚🌿🪀♻️🦖
If your goals for 2025 include reading more and having better habits, @audible audiobooks are about to be your best friend! I love listening to audiobooks, especially when they help me become a better person, wife, friend, mom, etc. January is the perfect time to dive into one and cross two of your goals off at once. I’m listening to Mel Robbins’ Let Them Theory and it’s blowing my mind– “let them” is such a simple phrase and yet the impact is POWERFUL.

Can we bring this kind of outfit of the day video over to this app 👀 tell me if you like it or hate it- in light of everything, trying to experiment! If you want links to what I’m wearing, leave a comment with “OUTFIT” and I’ll send it over!
Sorry for the jump scare… but go ahead and add “great at multitasking” to my resume 😆 is it habit stacking or just survival mode? Every morning, I’ve been doing a red light session with my @omniluxled face mask, while listening to an audiobook, and I spend the 10 minutes tidying up. I make the beds, put laundry away, straighten up the boys’ toys… I always feel on top of the world and like I can do anything 😆
I’ve been hesitant to add new skincare products to my daily routine because I don’t want to disrupt my healthy skin… I tested @oakessentials skincare line though and it’s now a staple in my weekly routine. I’m using these three 2-3x a week (the night before hair wash days!) and my skin is SO moisturized and hydrated!!
(Why has no one been using this song for this trend? Literally all that I hear whenever I see another “ins and outs” trend 😆)
My 2025 Ins & Outs:
IN More freedom, firmer boundaries Silver Red as a neutral Spontaneous lunch dates Photography Redefining perfection Silk scarves Going to the movies Trying new hobbies Luxurious showers
OUT Sticking with a book I’m not enjoying Letting my car be a mess Guilt around sweet treats Unnecessary people pleasing The comparison game Staying up too late Over complicating things Holding in emotions

Where is the dress in the collage from? It doesn’t look like any of the dresses that you linked. Thanks!!
It was from last year… V-neck dress in Super 120s wool if you want to look for it online somewhere!
