Most Wanted is a weekly series in which one Who What Wear team member or friend of the brand will share the top 30 fashion and beauty finds on their current wish list.
I’m no stranger to treating myself. Long day at work? I’m ordering in. Accomplished a goal? I’m going out with the girls. Made it through a busy month? I’m buying that bag I’ve been eyeing. So, to no one’s surprise, the holiday season is no different. It’s an excuse to indulge even more under the guise of holiday spirit and gift-giving. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll also be shopping for my loved ones this year, but between you and me, I’ll likely consider keeping some of those gifts for myself.
To hold myself accountable, I decided to list 30 pieces that I think would make fabulous gifts. The range of items is quite impressive if I do say so myself. Below, you’ll find shoulder bags, fur jackets, tall boots, gold jewelry, and trendy footwear. The jury’s still out on which pieces I’ll gift wrap and which ones I’ll wear out of the store, but in the meantime, enjoy the gems below.
