Sharing my top 5 power pieces isn’t just about the clothes (though, that is the fun part ☺️). It’s about showing you how to identify your own wardrobe MVPs — the ones that light you up and set the tone for more of what you want in the new year.
But first, what exactly makes a power piece?
The 3 Must-Haves of a Power Piece
- It ignites your star power.
When you wear it, you feel READY — like you’re stepping onto the main stage of your life, EXCITED to own every moment. - It earns its spot in the rotation.
You don’t have to wear it every week, but it’s a piece you reach for often enough to keep it feeling like a go-to.
3. It’s an easy yes
No overthinking required. You grab it, and it clicks — like that first sip of coffee in the morning ☕️ that totally hits the spot!
Bonus rule: To make my list, an item had to be in my closet for at least three months. If it’s too new, it’s too soon to know if it has staying power.
Now that we’ve set the stage, here are my top 5 power pieces — and why they make the cut.
My Top 5 Power Pieces
1. Farm Rio Bodysuit
This bodysuit ALWAYS connects me to my natural gifts and charms💫. My energy shifts instantly whenever I put it on.
2. Stand Studio Green Coat
This coat is a major conversation starter. Maybe it’s the unique green that perfectly complements my eyes, or the soft, fuzzy texture that makes people want to touch it. Either way, I feel like such a powerhouse every time I wear it, and I’ve had it since 2021!
3. Aquatalia Embossed Leather Boots
I’ve had these for years — way before burgundy became the “it” color. With a solid heel that can handle the NYC streets and a couple of inches for height, these boots strike the perfect balance between practical and powerful. Every time I wear them, I feel grounded, and ready to take on what’s next.
4. Maje Metallic Jacket
You may have seen this jacket before — it’s been featured on my website and instagram. It’s my go-to whenever I want to channel my rockstar energy. BTW: Treat metallics like a neutral, it’ll make life easier (and more fun!)
5. Aritzia Black Pants
These made my top 5 raise my vibe shopping picks back in February, and they’re still going strong. I love pairing them with an old tee to play against their polished nature for dynamic opposition.
Time to Find Your Power Pieces
Now it’s your turn. Head to your closet and pull out the top items that make you feel ENERGIZED and READY for what’s next. As you do, notice the common thread — maybe it’s a bold color, an interesting texture, or an effortlessly cool vibe.
This thread is your star power foundation. And once you’ve got it, you can build on it to shine even brighter in 2025.
If you’re struggling to find your power pieces, it’s probably because you need to clear out what’s draining your energy first. When your wardrobe is cluttered with items that no longer align with who you are, it’s hard to see what truly supports your evolving style.
