Today’s post is one of my favorite posts each and every month. Today I’m going to share your Top 12 picks from August.
Not surprisingly, many of y’alls Top 12 picks are in my top picks for the month as well. All of the items I’m featuring today are items that I added to my own closet (or already owned), and because of that they are items that you will continue to see on the blog as long as they are in stock.
The picks that made this month’s top list are from Nordstrom, Amazon, and Walmart.
So, what were our favorites for the month? Let’s look and see…
1) blazer / 2) coin toggle necklace / 3) multicolor bead necklace / 4) hair spray / 5) dress / 6) open front cardigan / 7) huggie earrings / 8) quilted sweatshirt / 9) striped dress / 10) denim jacket / 11) shirt dress / 12) black cropped jeans

Okay… before we get to everything in the collage… I have a big ol’ mistake to correct.
I accidentally left the biggest seller of the entire month off of the collage! #bloggerfail.
This pave coil bracelet was Y’ALLS NUMBER 1 PICK THIS MONTH!!!
And listen, I totally get it. The bracelet is gorgeous. It totally gives David Yurman vibes for a fraction of the price. It’s definitely the best bracelet I’ve purchased in a very long time. Sometimes I wear it on its own, sometimes I stack it with a tennis bracelet, and sometimes I stack it with colorful beaded bracelets. It looks great with everything. Seriously, it would look just as fabulous with a little black dress as it would with a white tee and denim shorts. It’s classic.

1) blazer / Who doesn’t love a black blazer? And this blazer is a STRETCHY black blazer! I think it looks awesome styled with this wide leg denim.

And come on! It looks great with the black denim and leopard mules too!

Here I am in the blazer. I’m looking forward to styling it in lots of different outfits this fall, so get ready! It also comes in a light tan, a beautiful red, and a coral. The red blazer could be so fun for the holiday season with jeans and heels!
2) coin toggle necklace and 3) multicolor bead necklace / I’m completely in love with both of these necklaces, and they are both from Amazon! Styled together, they look darling. You’ll see me wearing the two together all the time, although they look great worn on their own too.

4) hair spray / My hairstylist recommended this hairspray to me like 3 months ago, and I’ve been using it ever since. It gives the best touchable hold I’ve ever had, and it smells absolutely incredible.
The hairspray was included in my favorites post earlier this month. Click HERE for some of my other current favorites!
5) dress / This floral shift dress is a beautiful multicolor print with lots of lovely details like pintucks across the neck and bust and little lace insets across the cuff of the sleeves and the hem of the dress. It’s lined (yay!) and really well made. I’m wearing a medium and it’s quite roomy from the hips down, but I definitely needed a medium for the bust.

It’s super cute styled with both bags.
Left: bag strap (stripe rose brown) and bag / Right: woven bag

6) open front cardigan / A great basic cardigan is an absolute must in a closet. This one covers your bum, and it is open front so it drapes very nicely. I really love this “tan cobblestone heather”, but it also comes in black, navy, and purple. I feel like I need it in tan and in black. They really are perfect closet basics.

And here it is styled just a bit differently with a black bag and sneaks. I’m IN LOVE with these sneaks. They are the perfect neutral and so fashionable.

7) huggie earrings / These earrings are a must have for me. They’re huggies (pretty much the only type of earring I wear anymore), and I can hardly believe how sparkly they are! I wear them all the time, even when showering and sleeping. I never take them off. They truly are beautifully made, and I’ve received tons of compliments on them. Nobody believes that I grabbed them for ONLY $17.99! Now listen, I have no idea how this works, but the site has them listed regularly for $125, which means they are $107 OFF right now.
And not only are the earrings beautiful, look how pretty the packaging is. These would make great gifts!
I referenced my Favorites post from earlier this month already, but here’s a shot from that post with the huggies, the #3 necklace, and the beautiful bracelet (y’alls #1 pick!) that I accidentally left off of today’s collage.

8) quilted sweatshirt / Look how daring this quilted sweatshirt is! It’s no wonder that it ended up in y’alls Top 12. It looks very similar to a Caslon short sleeve sweatshirt I posted as well, but I tried the Caslon one on after posting, and I actually didn’t like it because the shoulders were too wide and hung off strangely.
Well, this one fits much better and it’s ONLY $15.98! It also comes in rust, navy, and magenta.

9) striped dress / And how cute is this outfit!!! This dress is casual and a great transition dress from now until fall. Right now it would be cute worn alone with sandals or sneakers, but I really love it styled for fall with a denim jacket and booties. Head to the site to see the muscle sleeve look and check out all the colors it comes in. I really like all of the color options. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.
If you look closely you’ll see that I’m wearing the #2 and #3 necklaces layered together here. LOVE.

10) denim jacket / Okay, so my 2nd mistake on today’s post is that I chose the wrong denim jacket picture for the collage at the top of the post. I have and love both of the jackets, but it’s actually the one below that ended up in y’alls Top 12 this month because it was the one that I included in several outfit planning collages.
It should be no surprise here that I’m obsessed with this outfit. These drawstring pants are a must have for me, and you know I can’t live without a denim jacket.

Here I’ve just switched out the black bag for a red bag. I always love a pop of color.

11) shirt dress / I’ve shown you this shirt dress in a couple of different colors in previous months, but I couldn’t resist showing this soft blush too. Officially, this is the “soot powder” and I think it’s such a pretty color. I know lots of you have it in other colors and love it! For size reference, I’m wearing the medium here.
I’m wearing it here with sandals, but it would transition so well into fall with a denim jacket and either mules or booties.

12) black cropped jeans / So I used these black jeans in TONS of outfit planning collages this month and y’all bought them up! I just ordered them for myself (they arrive on Friday) after hearing from lots of y’all that said you bought and love them. I’m excited to get them!

Here’s a super similar outfit, but I took it neutral with a camel sweater and just gold jewelry (vs. multicolor jewelry).

I’ve got a couple of more outfits with these black jeans, and the second I saw this floral blouse I knew it would be perfect. I changed the top and the shoes from the outfit directly above, but so much of the outfit is the same (accessories, bag, and jeans).

This is the sweatshirt that I ended up not liking once I received it (the shoulders were too wide), but I still wanted to show you this look.
puff sleeve sweatshirt / gold layered necklace / hoop earrings / black jeans / love knot slouchy bag / wrap around bracelet / lip gloss / sneakers (white)
I love a plaid top. Add a puff sleeve, a tiny ruffled collar, and a split-neck and I’m ALL IN.

You know I had to see what it would all look like with a denim jacket.

This outfit is chock full of basics and SO FLIPPING CUTE. Look at those mules, y’all.

Okay, that’s it for today y’all! I’m curious, anything you didn’t get the first time around that you’re going to grab today? Sound off in the comments!
V says
I have quite the collection of both the double breasted, one button, and moto jackets from that line. They are so soft and comfortable but still look polished when dressed up! The floral dress was just too much material for me, but I was blown away by the quality for the price. Thanks for sharing!
Shay Shull says
I love it all, but I REALLY love that striped dress!! It’s just so so so extra cute!
Gretchen says
Would you mind sharing what paint color your family/hearth room walls are?
Sheaffer says
Hi, Gretchen! I’m so sorry, but I don’t know. We bought this house as a spec house, and it wasn’t written in the book they gave us with all of the design choices. So sorry I’m not more help!
Traci M says
