N-Sale Try On Session

Here we go! I ordered a few different times since I gained access to the sale as things went out and came in stock, so I am still waiting on some items. But I am SO excited to show you what I bought with my honest opinions. I will start off by saying that none of the pants I ordered were the right size for me, so I will link them but there are not photos of them. I will be sure to link all the jeans I paired as well so you can shop! Also, some of these items are going in and out of stock, but will definitely be restocked even if after the sale is over.

Ok, so this graphic t-shirt is so cute paired alone or with a blazer. It definitely has cool girl vibes (not sure I can handle it). Although it is currently sold out, there are so many other options here, here, and here. Any graphic T is perfect for this Fall, and can be dressed up or down. I love the jacket on the hanger, but am not 100% sold. I am 5’4″ and on the curvier side, so I have a harder time committing to stripes. It is a beautiful piece if you are looking for something to bring trends into your wardrobe!

Next up is a super simple choice. My go-to outfit is always a white shirt and jeans, so obviously this is one of my favorites. This shirt is great for layering and I love that the stripes are thin – much more flattering than chunky stripes! I plan on wearing this with a chunky cardigan or a puffer vest for the cold weather! Also, this belt is SO cute!

Now for some cool girl outfits! In the Fall, I tend to either wear all black or all beige without much in between. On the left, I am wearing the Free People chunky sweater, high waisted Madewell jeans in a dark wash, and my favorite Marc Fisher booties. I think this is perfect for a cold day in the city or even going over to the in-laws for dinner. On the right, I paired a V-neck sweater with the same jeans and sneakers. This sweater is silky smooth and a nice light fabric, without being see through! I think this would be great fo a autumn (socially distanced) brunch with the girls. I love all these items and think they are worth it!

Ok, ladies – THIS SWEATER IS MY #1 FAVORITE. It is made of a nice and thick material that hugs the curves so nicely. I just love the balloon sleeves paired with the v-neck! This could be dressed up further with a flowy, high-waisted skirt and strappy heels, or down with sneakers. If you get anything, I vote for this sweater.

Same V-neck sweater but in a pretty oatmeal color. I love playing with neutrals so of course I got it in multiple shades! For an even more effortless you could pair it with light wash denim! I would call the look on the left the hot soccer mom – hehe.

I wish I had this outfit while I was at USC! It is the perfect mix of comfortable but presentable. It would have been perfect paired with a blazer for a presentation (pair with slacks for business casual). Now, this is 100% something I would wear while out running errands or going for a quick date with the hubby.

You made it to the dresses! The one on the left is SO cute and perfect for Fall. It keeps getting restocked so keep an eye out for that! If not, there is a very similar one linked here, it is just short sleeved! It can be paired with sneakers or booties, a warm coat, and maybe even a nice big hat! On the right, I am wearing a sweater intended to be a dress ( I sized up 1). Well – it was WAY too short and my curvier bottom was peaking out. If you want this as a dress and are more gifted in your booty region, I would size up 2-3! Other than that, it was super cute and very warm.

These are my 2 FAVORITE jackets from the sale. One is reasonable, one a bit more of a splurge. Can you guess which is which? On the left is the more affordable coat! It has a subtle herringbone pattern, tie waist, and hoodie. It is nice and warm and would be perfect for an ice skating date, going to an outdoor movie, or cuddling up next to a fire pit. On the right is a coat by Theory – and let me tell you how chic it is! It is made of wool and cashmere. It is definitely more of a splurge, but worth it if you are looking for something timeless.
