My Best Outfits of 2020

12/28/20 | Fashion Friday, John Lewis, Nordstrom, Shopbop, Year in Review

Welcome to the last post of 2020!  I saw a meme last week that said no one needs to see the best of this year because there were not too many highlights but I am going think positively and beg to differ.   For the past few years I have rounded up my favorite outfits of the year and in an attempt to keep 2020 as normal as possible I am going to share mine.  This year my outfit photos were only shot by only two people – my Mom and my fiancé  – though the backgrounds are quite varied as they were shot in three countries and a variety of cities including Naples, Florida, London, and St. Lucia. 

That it is in stark contrasts to my best looks of 2018 and my best looks of 2019 recap posts but we have made it to the end of a truly trying year.   Despite the circumstances and numerous lockdowns I was still able to publish a new look at least once a week and picking my favorites  was difficult.  With 50 outfits to choose from over the year’s Fashion Fridays and I was actually quite surprised by his answers.  Below you can find what become a combination of the Best Outfits of 2020:

Fashion Blogger in Olive Shirt Dress from John Lewis - best outfits of 2020

Going through the looks like year, though the locations and options were more limited than past years it was still hard to pick.  I actually had to enlist Mark’s help and the four honorable mentions to the ten above would be this Office Ready in a Spot Print Dress, as two date night looks –  Date Night in a Richard Allen Shirt Dress and Off The Shoulder for Date Night – and for a night out that is never going to happen, it seems, this Blue Backless Skater Dress. 

 

Which of these best outfits of 2020 was your top pick?

    The red and white maxi dress was my favorite, such a great statement print!

    Makes me feel like you are strolling along the quaint streets of Paris looking for your next great outfit.

    You had so many great looks like year! My favorites are the orange floral dress , the light blue dress and the black top with the very pretty collar. Great looks Kelly.

    Great choices for your top 10 of 2020 and honorable mention. For me your top look of 2020 is the blue skater dress. That should have been your top look instead of the Olive dress. Other top 10 looks of the year if I was picking was the black bikini on your Italy trip in October, The White Eyelet Embroidery Dress from July and Tipping My Hat to a Floral Mini Dress from August. I would have also thrown in a lounge look for 2020 specifically a chic white pajama set from April because its a year like no other.
