SHOP NOW!: The Perfect, Not-So-Casual Quilted Top for Under $16!

Posted on by

With fall just around the corner & a school already underway in some places, it’s time to start planning ahead! Recently, I’ve been more drawn to building up my collection of white & cream tops. Also, I’m excited to seize the opportunity to wear pumpkin hues!

SHOP: Time & Tru quilted top with 3/4-length long sleeves in 4 colors @Walmart ($15.98, available in sizes XS-XXXL).

In person, this top looks both comfortable for under a puffer vest or flannel or professional with a plaid trouser & ankle boots. My go-to is the black as the texture will enhance any look with a printed pair of pants, but I do love the other colors, too! I’m certainly not rushing the end of summer, but I’m excited to break these out with wide leg jeans, faux leather leggings, or a utility skirt.

With fall around the corner, retailers have the Halloween season on the brain. Not only is home decor hitting shelves, but also Halloween-inspired fashion to mix into your wardrobe. I was never really one to go literal with festive clothing until I became a mother & now, I’m loving stylish & surprising details in my wardrobe to signify a holiday.

SHOP: EveryWear printed crew-neck t-shirt in 2 styles @Old Navy ($14.99, available in sizes XS-3X).

When I first saw the foil pumpkin top, I thought it had rose gold flowers on it & I was on board; however, I love the pumpkins & I’m super excited to find trendy ways to incorporate this into my wardrobe. Also, if headed to a Halloween-themed gathering (minus costumes), the ghosts are a playful option. Either tee can be paired with jeans or joggers, as well as faux leather leggings or a denim skirt, along with ankle boots or sneakers.

It’s no wonder pull-on pants are all the rage in fashion these days. Post-COVID style has majorly changed & while the masses are hungry for chic duds, comfort is key!

About this time last year, I posted about cozy tunic tops by Time & True @Walmart & here we are again! However, the newest run of these soft, luxe, & comfortable tops includes some new colors & a high school neck. I prefer this cut much more than the v-neck, even though I’ve worn mine plenty during the colder months.

SHOP: Time & Tru ribbed tunic tops in 4 colors @Walmart ($15.98, available in sizes XS-XXXL).

These can be styled in a variety of ways, including with lightwash jeans & layered necklaces, as well as with a statement necklace & faux leather leggings. How would you style this top?

SHOP NOW!: Fall Cardigans are Here!

Posted on by

My favorite all-time article of clothing has to be a cardigan. I love the way it completes a look & highlights a color story in an outfit. Additionally, I get really excited about finding cardigans with various details, such as different necklines, sleeve lengths, or button adornments. However, a classic cardigan can take you far this coming fall, especially when paired with a blouse & joggers, a knotted graphic tee & jeans, or over a sheath dress with mules.

SHOP: cropped cardigan sweater in 8 colors @Old Navy ($36.99, available in sizes XS-4X).

These timeless cardigans are not only cozy, but also available in 8 colors that will get you through fall, winter, & the cooler spring months. Which color do you like the best?

SHOP NOW!: Inclusive Skirt Sets for Fall!

Posted on by

Who doesn’t love an outfit that you don’t even have to think about putting together? Well, that’s why matching sets, whether for a casual loungewear look, date night, or teacher outfit, are the biggest trend this coming fall. Matching sets don’t have to just include sleepwear, especially when a more utilitarian & minimalist 90s aesthetic is dominating retailers. Take a look at the matching sets below!

SHOP: Universal Thread v-neck sweater vest in 2 colors @Target ($30.00, available in sizes XS-4X) & Universal Thread mini sweater skirt in 2 colors @Target ($30.00, available in sizes XS-4X).

SHOP: Time & True rib knit top & skirt 2-pc set in 4 colors @Walmart ($28.98, available in sizes XS-XXXL).

I love the inclusivity of both styles, especially with different skirt lengths, but I’m really impressed with the ease of taking these from day to night as well. For either look, the pieces can be coordinated with other wardrobe staples, such as a knotted graphic tee, button-down shirt, or light wash jeans. Not to mention that the shoe possibilities are endless with loafers, mules, sneakers, or ankle boots.

I love the ease of this jacket, which looks like a sweat jacket with a belted blazer silhouette. It’s perfect for casual Fridays or a teacher outfit with a button-down or blouse & jeans or topping a peasant dress & cowboy boots to transition into the next season.

SHOP: long sleeve half & half cardigan in beige multi @New York & Company (on sale: $45.46, available in sizes XS-XXL).

Sometimes when I’m putting an outfit together, I think about pattern first–if I want to wear florals, leopard, or lines. This cardigan is a stylish two-in-one with each half of the front devoted to an oversized leopard print & preppy argyle. I’d like to style this with faux leather leggings & sneakers, skinny pants & ballet flats, or jeans & ankle booties for fall.

Posted on by

I’m constantly torn over blogging about summer or fall fashion since there’s so much of both right now that is on sale & brand new, but a frequent question I get from friends & followers is how to build a capsule wardrobe. While this post isn’t going into great detail about the specifics of that, the best piece of advice I always give is to find pieces that you can wear multiple seasons & that layer well for a variety of occasion.

SHOP: dolman sleeve satin popover shirt in 6 colors @Old Navy ($29.99, limited availability in sizes XS-4X).

There is so much possibility with this top as the satin texture instantly dresses up any pair of jeans & slides, linen shorts & wedges, or peasant skirt & sneakers, but it can also be made even more sophisticated with a pencil skirt & stilettos, plaid trousers & ankle boots, or faux leather leggings & sneakers. This top is ideal for a professional look, a holiday dinner, happy hour, or date night. Keep an eye out for upcoming back-to-school deals from Old Navy to get a discount on this top that’ll be sure to rotate frequently in your wardrobe!
