But do you know what the best part of last Wednesday’s post was?
So, after reviewing the Top 5 posts, I realized we also needed to review the 2013 MUST HAVES!
Naming MUST HAVES is definitely one of my favorite things to do on the blog,
and putting this post together today just confirmed my feelings about all of the
previous MUST HAVES.
And get ready…because I’m going to be naming a new one soon. VERY soon!
(Click HERE for the newest MUST HAVE!.)
For those of you that are relatively new to the blog, this review will give you a chance to see all of the things that the
rest of us bought and loved in 2013!
Basically, I feel it’s my civic duty to make sure all of you new readers are fully informed. 🙂
Here’s a collage of all of the 6 MUST HAVES from 2013!
I’m still in love with every single one of these items and they are
DEFINITELY STILL MUST HAVES in my closet and in my life.
Just look at all of the MUST HAVE goodness!
Now I’m going to review each item in the order they were named.
If you’re new here, pay special attention to #1 because you might not have ever heard of them!
And I PROMISE. You need them.

1st MUST HAVE
These wedges will always have a special place in my heart.
It sounds totally corny, but it’s true.
These were the first item that we all went CRAZY over.
When I named these MUST HAVES the response was so incredible that I new we were on to something. All of the blog comments, facebook messages, and e-mails about these wedges showed me that we were creating this little online community and I LOVED it!
I highly recommend the putty color because it goes with everything.
EH-VUH-REE-THING.
THESE ARE THE BEST WEDGES YOU HAVE EVER OR WILL EVER PUT ON YOUR FEET.
I promise you, when I first saw them online I thought they looked like old lady shoes, but they don’t in real life AT ALL.
They are actually quite SASSY!
They lengthen your leg (awesome!) and look great with shorts, dresses, skirts, and pants.
And they also have a great ability to be paired with casual outfits as well as dressier outfits.
I could truly go ON AND ON about these wedges.
And I forget the best part: they are STUPID comfortable.
STUPID. COMFORTABLE.
Just ask anybody that has them. They are more comfortable than any flat you’ve ever had.
IN FACT, IF YOU HAVE THESE WEDGES, PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT about them and what you think about them!
Seriously. You don’t understand the awesomeness of these wedges unless you own these wedges.
AND I COULDN’T BE MORE EXCITED THAT THEY HAVE THEM AGAIN THIS YEAR.(
(Actually, now that I’ve said that, I’m unsure if they are back this year…
or if they are just left over from last year.
So, just in case…GET THEM BEFORE THEY’RE GONE!!!!)

or will ever own.
Pinky Swear.
Here’s a little collage of just a handful of times that I have worn them.
And here are some of you ladies in your wedges from the MUST HAVE contest last year!
Yep…you girls were just as obsessed as I was.
If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a thousand times.
You are my people. 🙂
They even made it to my friend Erika’s family pictures! 🙂
I know it’s hard to see the shoes when you are staring at the cute as
can be parents and the DARLING kids….but seriously, take a look at the
shoes.
(You can keep up with Erika’s sweet family on her blog “A Little Bit of Everything“.

I could talk for another 30 minutes about these wedges, but I’ll spare you.
You see?
That’s what you call restraint.

2nd MUST HAVE
MUST HAVE denim jacket.
This exact color is sold out (I keep hoping they will bring it back in this color this spring! fingers crossed!), but there are 2 darker colors to choose from (by the same maker) at Nordstrom HERE.
So, if you’re dying for a jacket, maybe you get one of the darker colors?
Or….if you are wearing your first one so much
you would like to add a 2nd one to your closet (welcome to the club),
check out the other 2 colors available at Nordstrom.
I really like the dark denim a lot.
regular blue denim jacket HERE, dark denim jacket HERE
Yeah, we should totally hope this baby returns!

3rd MUST HAVE
MUST HAVE jeans
It saddens me greatly to say that the Vigoss jeans that I own are almost all sold out online.
I have 4 of them myself now, and I love every pair.
I’m hoping they restock soon, because I know many of you are ready to
order your 2nd, 3rd, or 4th pairs too!
NORDSTROM! LISTEN TO THE PEOPLE! RESTOCK THE VIGOSS JEANS!
THE PEOPLE MUST HAVE THEM!
Click HERE for all of the Vigoss choices that are still available at Nordstrom.
Every single pair of the Vigoss jeans that I have put on my body I have loved.
So, maybe you should try a pair.
They are super affordable and awesome quality!
Below are 4 different styles. Love ’em all.

4th MUST HAVE
MUST HAVE shirt HERE.
This shirt is probably the most worn item in my closet.
I have the burgundy color and the black.
But although I love both of them, I’ve found that the burgundy shows too many wrinkles (as I guess most of the lighter colors do).
I recommend the black because it shows less wrinkles.
I have probably worn it once a week for the last 6 months. No lie. And sometimes I might have worn it twice a week.
It is such a great closet basic.
I dry clean this shirt, but I have lots of readers who say they wash it on the gentle cycle and then line dry it. I just prefer to dry clean a lot of my clothes. They look brand new for so long!
Here are just a handful of you ladies in the shirt:

5th MUST HAVE
MUST HAVE leggings HERE.
I have the black and grey and seriously don’t know how I lived the last 28 years of my life (ahem) without them. Because I’m 29 (ahem).
They aren’t see thru at all.
The hold their shape.
And even though I’ve already watched each pair lots and lots, they still look brand spankin’ new.
Click HERE for the MUST HAVE leggings.
All of you that own the leggings are JUST AS CRAZY about them as I am.
They really are a GAME CHANGER in the leggings world aren’t they?!?
The ultra wide waistband just throws them into a legging category all of their own!

6th MUST HAVE
(They have added new colors at Nordstrom!)
Listen,
To own the blardigan is to love the blardigan.
And for those of you that are super new to the blog and have no idea what a blardigan is….
it’s simple.
A blardigan is part blanket and part cardigan.
And it’s a little piece of heaven right here on earth.
Do you want something that you can wear at home for an entire weekend at home in your pajamas, with a sick kid, and then throw it on and wear it to work?
Not that I’ve ever done that.
Well, if that is something you’re looking for, the blardigan is for you.
I probably have over 100 e-mails about this MUST HAVE.
My favorite is from the reader who said she wants to try to figure out how to shower in it.
Here are some pics of you ladies in the boots!
Click HERE to see the necklace April!
It looks great with my black shirt and jeans.
It would look great with a little black dress.
But I also think it would look AWESOME with some frayed jean shorts and a white v-neck.
Or a denim shirt with white jeans.
Or colored shorts with a striped shirt.
So what I guess I’m saying is that it will pretty much look fantastic
with anything and everything in your closet. And what a great thing to
kick off your spring wardrobe!
And April, just in case you think you need to recreate the above look :), the sources follow:
