First Outfits of 2023
Early January Outfits of the Week
Happy 2023 everyone, I cannot believe it’s time for a new year of outfit ideas! If you are new here, I share my top 5 outfits every Sunday to help inspire your wardrobe throughout the week. As a 5’8 midsize fashion blogger, I love sharing everyday outfits mixed in with special event clothes. To see my 2023 outfits so far, keep reading!
Baby Blue Outfit
So my week really started on Wednesday because I got food poisoning on the second day of the new year! I was so frustrated that I could not go anywhere that first day but do not fear I started really playing around with my wardrobe on my first real day out and about. To kick off the week, I wore my favorite long blue coat with a new graphic tee and some distressed jeans. I love playing around with casual and elevated pieces, I think it makes for an interesting outfit and since there is a lot of blue in the look, everything is cohesive too!
Neutral Activewear
The next day proved rather adventurous because I ended up spending the majority of my afternoon at the bank! I had an issue with hackers and spent a good hour and a half standing around with the teller. Fortunately I wore something comfortable which is my new pair of sweatpants from Abercrombie with a sweatshirt and some sneakers. I also dressed up the look with my favorite long coat, a new outfit go to which keeps me warm yet fashionable!
Light Neutral Outfit
Toward the end of the week it was time to mix things up once more and go for my take on business casual. I met with one of my local business partners and decided to wear my new Abercrombie coat from Christmas with some light jeans and a tank. While a tee may have been warmer, I did love this combination of light neutrals and I was comfortable enough for the winter weather. As a pro tip, try accessorizing creamy outfits with brown handbags and accessories. It keeps the outfit warm and doesn’t look too harsh in my opinion.
Layered workout outfit
It was finally the weekend which meant it was time for bowling with my friends! I decided to wear my new Girlfriend Collective jumpsuit with a cozy hoodie and sneakers. I have been seeing active jumpsuits all over social media and I have to say they are worth the hype. Mine is super comfortable and looks great on its own or under loungewear like this sweatshirt and my go-to denim jacket.
Pro tip: try a pair of crew socks for your next trip to the bowling alley! I loved how mine added a 50s feel to my outfit and they also looked great peeking out of my actual sneakers before the night out.
Hoodies and Flares
My final outfit included the same hoodie as above but styled in another way. I am always looking for versatility in my wardrobe and I think a light colored sweatshirt provides me just that. For the rainy Sunday that it was, I styled this hoodie with my go-to flared leggings and an oversized jean jacket. I also wore the same sneakers as before since a slimmer tennis shoe is very current for 2023. Anytime I can be comfortable like this I will take said opportunity!
Have a Fashionable Week
I hope these outfit ideas inspire you this upcoming week! Lately my style has consisted of elevated basics paired with a long coat. I feel like this outfit combination is very on trend for 2023 and I’ve found it to be rather comfortable. As a midsize woman, I also like it because it hides my upper half which I am less confident about and lets my lower half shine.

Until next time,
