I decided against doing a sappy 2024 recap post this year like I’ve done in the past, but I did love my “favorites outfits” post from last year enough to recreate it. Looking back at all the outfits I wore in 2024 was just as nostalgic as writing up a year in review, as I reflected on where and when I wore each of these looks. It’s funny how sentimental clothing can be, and how it feels like time travel when slipping back into a favorite combo. Without further ado, here are my top 24 outfits from 2024.

Twenty-Four

I just love how well this sweater and the Chelsea boots pair together. I always used to struggle with how to style these tartan pants, but the beige and red seem to be a winning combo.

Twenty-Three

This was a new pairing this year and one that I surprisingly loved! It’s such a comfy summer outfit but still interesting, I think, with the sequin palazzo pants and mix of blues.

Twenty-Two

While this look is very out of my comfort zone, I love how it came together. I’ve never cuffed these jeans before but I think it opened a whole new world of styling possibilities.

Twenty-One

Another new combo that I think was unexpectedly fun and flirty. The navy and dusty rose colors pair so well together. I’m not sure I love the shoes with it, but I’ll definitely keep experimenting with this bodysuit and pants.

Twenty

I can’t believe it’s already been a year since I wore this outfit. Pink and green is one of my favorite color combos ever and I love how the colors pop against the winter backdrop.

Nineteen

From winter to fall—this was my attempt at a “trendy” outfit with clothing already in my closet, but I think the colors and pieces are classic enough that I can wear this combination for years to come.

Eighteen

I love the mix of brown and green in this outfit, and so did all of you! I got tons of compliments when I posted it on Instagram. Unfortunately this hand-me-down sweater shriveled up in the wash, so I won’t be repeating this look…

Seventeen

I wore this to a work conference I attended back in May and absolutely love the bold pink and stripes. The white mules are the perfect way to complete the look, and I carried a dotted Kate Spade handbag for the occasion.

Sixteen

While I didn’t actually wear this outfit other than to take photos, I think it’s such a cute summer look and something I will definitely reach for in the future.

Fifteen

I wore this on my birthday in 2023 and loved the combo so much I had to reach for it again. I think the beige sweater is a great way to dress down the pants for a more casual fall or winter day.

Fourteen

I wasn’t sure about this outfit at first, if you saw my Reel about it, but I absolutely love how it turned out—especially with the navy pearl Kate Spade bag (not pictured).

Thirteen

This will forever be one of my all-time favorite dresses. It’s from Banana Republic and is thankfully super stretchy, so I’ve been able to continue to wear it even as my body has changed the last couple of years. I wore it to my brother’s PhD graduation in May and paired it with my lavender floral Kate Spade bag for the cutest spring look.

Twelve

This is an outfit I had in my head for months, and I was so excited when it turned out just as cute as I had imagined. I wore it for a day exploring Savannah during my fall road trip with my mom.

Eleven

Another favorite dress, which I first wore to my great aunt’s 100^th birthday in March and then again on my first cruise in August. It’s such a pretty and summery dress, and I always get compliments when I wear it.

Ten

An unexpected favorite! I think this ombre velour dress and denim jacket combo is such a cute look for a night out. I styled it with tights and booties here for the winter but I also wore it for a night at the casinos for a bachelorette in May, paired with black sandals instead.

Nine

My Easter Sunday dress this year (the dress, cardigan, and purse are all secondhand). I wasn’t sure about the dark colors for Easter at first, but I think it paired so nicely with the white sweater and green clutch. Very springy after all.

Eight

This colorful thrifted dress will always be a favorite, and I love it paired with the black embellished accessories for a little something extra.

Seven

These shorts were a new purchase this summer, and I think the style of them is so cute! I struggle with putting together outfits in the summertime, but this will go down as an all-time favorite—it’s simple yet still feels really stylish and put-together.

Six

I wore this gambling in Blackhawk for a friend’s birthday. Blackhawk is very casual as far as casinos go, but I still wanted an excuse to wear something sparkly. I think this rose gold top with the grey jeans was the perfect amount of dressed up without being over-the-top. And the rose gold sandals match perfectly!

Five

This was an outfit I copied from Pinterest. Clearly I should do that more often because I love how this look turned out! I felt so trendy in it, even though every item was a piece I’ve owned for years.

Four

I wore this to a picnic with friends over the summer, and just like Outfit #7, I love how simple yet stylish this look is. The hat and shoes pair perfectly, and something about the crimped hair just ties the whole look together.

Three

This is such a chic work outfit. The lace blouse and heels are a match made in heaven, and these thrifted windowpane trousers became an unexpected favorite this year. I feel so productive and confident in this outfit!

Two

Isn’t this red dress just fabulous?? It’s very lowcut but was such a fun statement piece for the cruise. I tried to dress it down a bit with raffia and turquoise accessories and love how everything paired together.

One

It’s tough to choose an absolute favorite for 2024, but something about this outfit is just so satisfying to me—the bold black and white pattern of the dress, the striped sunglasses, the hot pink lipstick, even my curled bangs. It’s such a cute date night outfit!

Which of these outfits is your favorite?? Thank you so much for all the support you’ve shown me in 2024—it truly means so much, even though I don’t say it often enough. This was an exciting year with my brand’s relaunch and the start of Grace Per Wear, and your love of the new name and website made this transition one of my proudest accomplishments of 2024. I know I’ve mentioned before how I don’t usually feel very proud of my blog, but that finally changed this year with my new name and all your support. Thank you.

Cheers to 2025!
