My Best Outfits of 2017

12/26/17 | Fashion and Style, Fashion Friday, Year in Review

Once Christmas passes it really feels like the year has come to and end and it becomes a time for reflection.  One of my favorite things I have done in 2017 is actually sticking to my promise and posting a new outfit photo on Sparkles and Shoes every Friday.  I have done this without fail, regardless of where I have been in the country or even the World I have been, and with more than 50 outfit posts I am happy to say there have been some pretty great ones. 

It is hard to pick favorites, especially when it comes to photos of yourself but I have done it!  But before we get into that I just wanted to say a huge kuddos to my amazing mother who took 7 of the top 10 shots of the year.  She is such a love humoring me in this little passion project of mine and is becoming quite good photographer to boot – thanks Mom!  Counting down from the top, these are my ten best outfits of 2017: 

(10) Twirling in Layers of Cobalt Ruffles

Black Tie Alternative Fame and Partners Sasha Dress

(9) The Perfect White Dress for Spring

LOFT Villa Dress in Whisper White

(8) There’s No Place Quite Like New York

NYC Fashion Blogger in Young Fabulous & Broke YFB Clothing Jewel Jumpsuit

(7) The Perfect Printed Maxi

Eliza J Chiffon Maxi Dress in Cobalt in Florida

(6) Baby Blue Fit and Flare on the Golf Course

(5) Pom Pom Sleeves

Pom Pom Shirt and Black Jeans

(4) Green with Envy

Business Casual in Green and White

(3) Bell Sleeves for the Win

Style Blogger in Style Mafia Locka Top from Shopbop

(2) Feeling Blue in Kate Spade

(1) The Perfect Leather Miniskirt

J. Crew Pleat Faux Leather Miniskirt in Navy and the Billabong Eternal Bliss Crochet Lace Bodysuit

To be honest, even though I got to choose 10 that was hard – picking only the top 20% for this best outfits of 2017 round up was a tricky feat since I generally like everything in my closet and for those pieces I don’t love, there is a high probability they have never made it on the blog. And if these weekly posts aren’t enough for you, you better believe you can get even more fashion inspiration on Instagram.  Get ready for one more outfit post this Friday and I am excited to wrap up the year on a high note and continue this great tradition in 2018! 

Did you have a favorite of these best outfits of 2017?

    I love all of your top 10 outfits for 2017. If I had to pick the best one it would be the baby blue fit and flare on the golf course. I can’t wait to see what you have planned for this fashion Friday
