MY SIZING INFORMATION
Height: 5ft – Waist: 28″ – Hips: 32″ – Bust: 34C
Tops, Sweaters & Coats: Small – Size in Jeans: 25-26 – Size in Leggings: Small
TTS = True to Size
BLACK TIE CARDIGAN
Sizing: TTS (true to size) // Slightly Oversized – Wearing a size XS.
Quality: It’s Madewell, so you know the quality is great. Very luxurious with a structured fit. On the heavier/thicker side, so it will definitely keep you warm! Chic to wear at home, away from the home or even if you’re back at the office.
Price: On Sale: $89 – After Sale $135
STEVEN MADDEN MULES
If you don’t have a pair of mules in your closet, I cannot recommend these enough! Mules are a huge trend this fall and are incredibly versatile.
They come in five colors, but my favorites are the black, tan, and white. If this is your first pair of mules, I would go with black. You’ll get the most use out of them. If you already have a black pair, then go with either the tan or white! That’s me and I’m personally choosing the tan! Whatever you do though, don’t get them in leopard. Normally I love leopard but these are horrendous.
Sizing: TTS (but if you’re in-between sizes – size up!) Wearing my normal size 7
Quality: So comfortable, flattering, and nice! Steve Madden is always a go-to for me and he really outdid himself with these mules.
Price: On Sale: $49 – After Sale $89.95
WOOL CAMEL COAT
Between the fact that I already have a nice camel coat and that it barely gets cold here in Houston, I have never not needed something more in my entire life but good god almighty do I want this camel coat.
Sizing: TTS. While it’s an ‘oversized coat’, I’d still suggest ordering your normal size. I’m wearing an xs.
Quality: Oddly very soft and all around so flattering. Not super heavy, but just heavy enough. Truly perfect for crisp, cool fall air.
Price: On Sale: $149 – After Sale $249
FAUX FUR TEDDY COAT
Sizing: TTS (true to size) – Size Small
Quality: Oh my gosh SO SOFT. Arguably as soft as the barefoot dreams cardigan everyone wants (I personally think this one is better). It’s cozy, chic, and warm all at the same time! Gives me major 70’s vibes.
Price: On Sale: $149 – After Sale $249
HIGH WAIST FLARE JEANS
Hands down the most flattering pair of jeans I’ve put on in a really long time. This picture honestly isn’t doing them justice. I truly felt like a million bucks in them. If you already have your go-to pairs of basic skinny jeans but want to splurge on a new pair for the fall season – then go with these jeans!
Sizing: Run big (only because they are so stretchy) Wearing a size 26. Definitely long though, so I will have to get them hemmed for my 5ft frame.
Quality: Literally incredible. I don’t want to say they are “jegging material” because they aren’t, but they are just super stretchy and oddly very slimming.
Price: On Sale: $146 – After Sale $220
POINTED TOE BOOTIE
**apologies for my failed attempt at this “influencer” pose lol”
If I had to choose one bootie for the fall, this would be it. So incredibly flattering and elongating on. Super comfortable and looked great with every outfit I tried them on with.
Sizing: TTS (true to size). Wearing my normal size 7
Quality: Great! Super sturdy and easy to walk in bc of the thick heel.
Price: On Sale: $99 – After Sale $189
ZELLA SPORTS BRA AND LEGGINGS
Sizing: TTS. Wearing a size small.
Quality: Stretchy and comfortable, yet very supportive.
Price: On Sale: $22 – After Sale $35
Sizing: TTS. Wearing a size small.
Quality: Stretchy, comfortable, and “holds you in” in all the right places.
Price: On Sale: $42 – After Sale $65
ADIDAS ULTRA BOOST
If these sell-out, don’t worry. Adidas always has great sales on their site! If you need a new pair of sneakers now though, then this is a great opportunity!
Sizing: TTS (true to size)
Quality: Lots of support and has great cushion! Perfect for everyday wear, training, and running.
Price: On Sale: $119 – After Sale $180
BAREFOOT DREAMS CARDIGAN
While the leopard BarefootDreams blanket is the ‘hot item’, I tried them both on and liked this one so much more! The leopard one was too thick and overall very unflattering. I like that this one could be worn both inside and outside of your home.
Sizing: TTS (true to size). Wearing size medium to make it extra cozy
Quality: Both incredibly soft, super lightweight, and flattering.
Price: On Sale: $68 – After Sale $116
TURTLENECK TUNIC & KNEE HIGH BOOTS
This tunic turtleneck was a favorite from last year! If you’re on the shorter side like I am, then you could also wear it as a sweater dress! If you’re taller though, then it may be a tad short.
Sizing: Oversized. Wearing a size small!
Quality: Soft and very thick.
Price: On Sale: $84 – After Sale $128
Bought a similar pair of boots in a different shade last year but like these so much more! This particular shade of brown is everything and will be super in this fall.
Sizing: TTS but I did notice it to be a tad tight in the calves area. So if that is a concern, keep that in mind!
Quality: Super comfortable and easy to walk in. Not too high and the block heel is a major plus.
Price: On Sale: $149 – After Sale $249
