Whew! 2023 is over, and 2024 has begun! There is no better way to kick off the start of the New Year than with a trip down memory lane revisiting the top items you all loved throughout 2023! Here are the Top 10 (non-Amazon) items from the past year!
ONE // High-Waisted Playa Soft-Spun Wide-Leg Pants
Fit Tips: tts, L
I loved these pants so much that I bought them in 3 colors and even had them in 2 of my workwear capsules (link to spring and fall)! They are flowy, flat front, pull-on on, and soo good! I hope we see new colors this spring.
TWO // Scoop Women’s Relaxed Scuba Knit Blazer
Fit Tips: Blazer runs big, size down for a more fitted look, M
Honestly I thought this would take the top slot because these super stretchy, soft blazers are soo good! Iβve had them in 5 colors and they are great for work or weekends. I wear a M sink eI like them a bit more fitted.
THREE // Walmart Dresses
Time and Tru Women’s Knit Halter, true to size, L / Time and Tru Women’s Tiered Dress, true to size, L / Sofia Jeans Cutout Maxi Dress, true to size, L
This year I found so many great dresses that made the top 20 I figured I would put them all in one! This was the perfect vacation dress and I wore it in Mexico and on our cruise! Itβs soft, flowy and not too short. I hope this style comes back again this upcoming season.
FOUR // Walmart Tunics
Time and Tru Women’s Knit Pullover, true to size, L / Time and Tru Women’s Ribbed Tunic, true to size, L
This year I found a TON of great Walmart tunics, some still in stock and some that have sold out. I love that these tend to be soft, affordable and in great seasonal colors.
FIVE // PowerSoft Sleeveless Shelf-Bra Support Dress
Fit Tips: true to size, L
This cute activewear dress is one the few that had enough chest space for me and love the side pockets! Now I need to learn pickle ballβ¦
SIX // Tarte Cosmetics – Big Ego Hair Concealer, I use medium brown
I feel like I talk about this root touch-up every month when I get close to my grey growing out! It has been a game changer in an easier way to cover them up and spread out my hair appointments.
SEVEN // Women’s High-Rise Midi Jean Shorts, true to size, L
Fit Tips: true to size, L
These have been a TRM Tribe favorite for years and although they show sold out now they have bought back these stretchy, comfy shorts year after year just make sure to size up!
EIGHT // Walmart Pants
Time and Tru Women’s Wide Leg Pants, true to size, L / Time and Tru Women’s Velvet Wide Leg Pants, true to size, L
This year I found 2 great styles of Walmart pants for fall and the holidays. Both have a pull-on, wide leg style, pockets and super affordable!

These sneakers are so comfy that I have them in like 5 colors! I canβt wait to see what comes out this spring.
TEN // All in Motion Women’s Soft Stretch Shorts, true to size, L
Fit Tips: true to size, L
These soft shorts are great for vacations, lounging and just staying comfy in the sun.
I love a good Amazon find as much as the next person, and in 2023 we all went on an Amazon purchasing journey from AirPod Cleaning Tools to Swimsuits to Sneaker Erasers! These items are always my favorite to look at, because of the product variety!
ONE // AirPod Cleaning Tool
This genus cleaning tool made a great gift but good anytime! Itβs so easy to use and gets all the gunk out of my AirPods.
TWO // Beckham Hotel Collection Bed Pillows
I fell in love with these pillows last year and when we moved I basically replaced every bedroom with these!
THREE // MEVECCO Layered Necklace
This layered necklace is just that perfect dainty yet bit of sparkle that I love! It comes in a ton of styles, but I wear the layered karma!
FOUR // One Piece Cutout Swimsuit
Fit Tips: true to size, L
This swimsuit I fell in love with when I saw it on my friend Angela in Mexico so I had to pick it up for my beach trip and it looks like yβall did too!
FIVE // Popup Laundry Hamper
This has been one of my biggest travel hacks and I love that you love it. I bring these fold flat hampers on all our trips to keep the kids clothes off the hotel floor and a bit more organized (game changer on a cruise). Then at the end of the trip dump all the dirty laundry in a foldable duffle and dump into the washing machine when you get home.
SIX // Preppy Makeup Bag
My daughter saw this cute set of 4 travel bags and I knew that your girls would probably love them too! They are inspired by the popular Stoney Clover but at a fraction of the price.
SEVEN // SneakERASERS Instant Sole and Sneaker Cleaner
If you have a sneaker head you know how they love to keep their kicks clean. This was the #1 teen/ tween boy gift this year but perfect for everyone.
EIGHT // Smocked Ruffle High Waisted Wide Leg Pants
Fit Tips: true to size, L
Talk about the perfect beach, travel, lounge, just stay comfy pants! Iβve worn these so many ways and they are so good.
NINE // Knock Knock On-The-Go Game Pad
We got this travel game when we went on our cruise last spring and came in handy in those waiting times when the kids could not be on their devices.
TEN // SUN Varsity Letter Transparent Cosmetic Bag
This cute Sun bag makes the BEST end-of-year teacher gift! Packed it filled with sunscreen, lip balm, a gift card, and a travel towel and it was a hit!
