It’s Friday, so y’all know what that means! It’s time to link up with Erika and Andrea to let everybody know what some of my favorite things are right now.

WIT AND WISDOM LOVE
I have two NEW pairs of Wit and Wisdom jeans that are so cute and are both great for fall looks. I’m going to highlight several different sweaters with both pairs of jeans today, and I’m also going to show a couple more looks with the Wit and Wisdom black pleated pants that I first showed y’all a couple of weeks ago and my must have WW jeans from a couple of years ago (that are still going strong). Get ready for lots of fun and easy fall looks…
The acid wash sweater is so soft, I love the color (brown topaz), and the relaxed fit is what sweater dreams are made of. The sleeves bell out (but just a little bit), and the ribbed collar and cuffs add some nice style. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium. It also comes in a heathered black and a cream.
You might remember seeing it in the collage in my FALL FINDS UNDER $50 post on Monday.

I’m so happy to have these washed black Wit and Wisdom jeans in my closet for fall. They’ve got the beloved Ab Solution technology, they’re stretchy, they’re comfy, they’re flattering, and they’re a great ankle length on me (I’m 5’4″, but with long legs and no torso). I would actually not mind them being a little bit shorter, so I might cut them myself since they already have a frayed edge. I’m wearing my regular size 4, but most people size down in this brand.

And here’s the same sweater with a great pair of cuffed Wit and Wisdom jeans. More on these jeans in the next outfit.

I’m LOVING both of these bracelet options for fall.

Okay, y’all. I’m kind of dying over this striped cardigan in camelred. It’s incredibly soft, it has a good amount of stretch in it, and it’s very well made. You could of course wear it open with a tee underneath, but I like the look here all buttoned up too. This color combination is fall perfection. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.

Loving it with the regular cuffed denim too.

These jeans are different than any other jeans in my closet right now due to the exaggerated cuff. I love them. They also have the Ab Solution technology, and if you are new to the Ab Solution magic, these jeans suck you in and totally snatch in your waistline while still allowing you to breathe. It’s a thing of wonder really! 🙂 For size reference, I’m wearing my regular size 4. If between sizes, size down in this brand.

And here’s the sweater with the pleated black pants that surprised me in all good ways.
I’m going to be honest, because these pants are pleated I was not expecting to love them at all. Because of the pleats, I didn’t think they were going to work on my body (since my tummy is my problem area). WELL, I was wrong! They are crazy comfy and quite flattering! They are a substantial ponte like fabric, but they’re a medium weight and not too heavy at all. They are crazy super soft and stretchy, but they keep their shape throughout the day. They’ve got a double bar and hook closure with a hidden button and a functional zipper, but I’m telling you, you can just pull these on if you want to! Yes, they have that much give. Most size down in these, but I’m wearing my regular size 4.

This look is perfect for the office. This split neck floral blouse has a tiny little ruffle, and the floral print is so pretty. It’s lightweight and would also look great with jeans and heels. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.

Another day, another cardigan. These button up “lady cardigans” are all the rage now, and I totally dig them. The collar, the buttons, it’s all cute. The material on this one is awesome. Medium weight, a little bit of give, and really soft. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.

And here with regular denim…
The description says they are a skinny jean, but I think they are definitely more of a straight leg ankle jean. They are the perfect ankle length, and they have a raw hem and cute little slits on the sides. They are perfect with sneakers, with flats, with booties, and with heels! If you’re looking for an awesome pair of jeans at an affordable price point, these are your jeans.
They are a great way to not wear a skinny jean without having to go total wide leg or flare. I’m wearing my regular size 4, but size down if between sizes. If you’re not familiar with Wit and Wisdom jeans, they are super stretchy and very comfy. They have Ab-Solution technology, and they mold and hold you while still allowing you to breathe. They really are soooo flattering and incredibly comfortable.

This is my favorite basic black sweater. It’s soft, it has a relaxed fit, and I’m not kidding when I say it goes with everything. Style it whatever way you would like. For size reference, I’m wearing a small.

Here’s the same sweater with two other pairs of jeans…
I love an all black look with a pop of color in the sneaks.

And with my must have jeans from the last couple of years.

SLIPPERS
So I planned on showing y’all this lounge set and these slippers today. But I ordered the lounge set in a medium and it was wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too big.
But good news, y’all still get to see the slippers because OH MY DARLING. There’s nothing to say about them except YOU NEED THEM. And so do your daughters. And your besties. And maybe your mom. Oh, and definitely your sister.

COLLEEN’S BIRTHDAY BASH
Click HERE to shop Colleen’s Birthday Sale where you can BUY ONE, GET ONE 50% OFF with the code CELEBRATE.
The Face Oil #9 is at the tippity top of my ABSOLUTE MUST HAVE list. Just put a pump in your hand with your favorite moisturizer and get ready to hydrate and plump your skin like never before. My skin absolutely drinks this special little cocktail up. Dry skin really ages a person, and the face oil helps combat that! I can’t imagine it not being a part of my nightly routine, and I find myself using it on some mornings now too. Colleen touts it as the ultimate in skin luxury, and I have to agree. (If you need a moisturizer, the Extreme Recovery Cream is a great one. It’s thick, rich, and ultra-creamy.)
Just put 1 full pump in your hand with your favorite moisturizer and apply it all over you face and neck. It hydrates and plumps like nothing else I’ve ever used. Your skin will absolutely drink this special little cocktail up. YOU WILL LOVE IT.
The QUENCH & SHINE RESTORATIVE MASK has also become a ride or die product for me. It is a color-safe conditioning treatment to soften, detangle and revive all hair types without weighing your hair down. An ultra-rich blend of Kokum, Shea, Capuacu and Bacuri Butters quenches thirsty strands, enriching hair with nourishment and hydration. Argan and Moringa Oils smooth unruly split-ends and deliver a healthy-looking shine. Improved hair elasticity and strength help reduce frizz and texture, resulting in supremely soft, irresistibly touchable hair. This mask can be used daily as a conditioner or as an intensive weekly treatment.
I sometimes use this mask just like I would a regular conditioner (a little goes a reallllllly long way), and sometimes I use it more as an intensive hair treatment. My goal is to use it once a week as a true mask, but the truth is, I just use it when I have some extra time to spend in the shower. Instead of using just a tiny bit like I used to, I now use a good amount, massage it all over my head, and I like to leave it in for a bit to get the full benefit. I like to leave it in for a minimum of 5 minutes, but a couple of times I’ve even been known to get out of the shower and vacuum the house or something with it in before rinsing it out.
I’m not kidding when I say you will notice a dramatic difference AFTER JUST ONE USE. Truly. Your hair will be so soft and so shiny. It will look different AND feel different!!!!

When I’ve talked about the membership in the previous months, I was thrilled to share that the club membership had been reduced to $25 (regularly $50). I had no earthly idea that it would eventually be reduced to $15, and I’m guessing that Sam’s Club didn’t know either.

AMAZON FALL FAVORITES
This blouse is lightweight, great for early fall, and easy to dress up or down. The sleeves have a double ruffle, the collar has a small pleated ruffle, and the deep v is very flattering. I’m wearing the “B Red”, but there are 32 color and pattern options! For size reference, I’m wearing a medium (which is typical for me in a blouse like this), but it is more fitted across the chest than I am used to. I would suggest sizing up if between sizes.
ruffle sleeve blouse (B Red) / similar stretchy jeans from same maker (sky blue) / earrings / necklace / gold bracelet stack (matte gold tone) / rainbow stripe bracelet stack / nude mules
This peplum babydoll blouse is perfect for those of you that don’t like to do a half tuck. The wide peplum hem lays nicely and is quite flattering. I love it, and I’m not the only one. It has almost 9,000 ratings, and the great majority are 5 stars. I’m wearing the “blue”, but there are 25 options. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.

Here’s another blouse that great with jeans, but it would also be perfect for the office. It’s got a single little flutter sleeve, and the cut is pretty and feminine. I’m wearing “A Brown 2”, but there are 40 options! FORTY! For size reference, I’m wearing the small, but I definitely need the medium. I accidentally ordered the small.

Okay, ladies.
I WAS INFLUENCED.
Literally, I feel like 1/2 of the influencers I follow told me that I needed this coatigan. They told me I needed it, I believed them, I bought it, and they were right.
It’s called a “coatigan” because it’s 50% coat and 50% cardigan. I’ll tell you this.. I think it’s 100% fabulous. I actually don’t love wearing a coat, so I think this is a great option. And because its 1/2 cardigan, you won’t even need to take it off when inside if you don’t want to. You could wear this all day long and it would be fine. It’s not bulky at all, but it will still keep you warm. For size reference, I’m wearing a small.
coatigan (light camel) / white tee / similar stretchy jeans from same maker (sky blue) / earrings / necklace / gold bracelet stack (matte gold tone) / rainbow stripe bracelet stack / chunky heel booties (1-light brown)
This long cardigan has a v-neck neckline, an open front, and 2 pockets. And again, this is another cardi that can be easily dressed up or down. It ranges in size from x-small to 6x. and I’m wearing a small.
long cardigan / white tee / similar stretchy jeans from same maker (sky blue) / earrings / necklace / gold bracelet stack (matte gold tone) / leopard mules
Y’all. This cardi SO SOFT and SO COZY and SO FLIPPING CUTE.
I was unsure about the colors when I ordered the cardi, but I absolutely love the colors in person. Officially this one is called “orange”. I think this would be awesome to wear on Thanksgiving, and it looks like most sizes in this exact color and pattern will arrive in 1-2 days.
I can’t say I LOVE IT enough. It’s currently on sale, so I hope Amazon doesn’t jacket up the price soon. I hate it when they do that.
For size reference, I’m wearing a small.
cardigan / white tee / chunky gold hoops / heart necklace / distressed jeans / chunky heel booties (1-light brown)
The jeans are from Amazon too!!! They are stretchy (so super comfy) and have a nice straight leg instead of a skinny leg, so they are totally on trend. They’ve got some moderate distressing, but there isn’t a ton of skin peeking through (and I prefer it that way).
I’m wearing the “A1 Ska Blue” but the darker “A Blue” is also great! A lot of the other jeans on this link have material under the distressing, so make sure you realize that before you decide on what pair to order.
Okay, let’s talk sizing. They aren’t sized like traditional jeans. You choose from small, large, medium, large, and x-large. I chose medium because I couldn’t imagine being the smallest size, but I think I could have actually gone for the small. This means that those of you that are typically under a 4 probably won’t be able to wear these jeans because even the smalls will be too big. The reviews are mixed on these, but I like them!

This batwing cocoon cardigan is one of my very favorite Amazon finds over the last several years. I ordered it on a whim, and I didn’t even really love it when I took it out of the box. However, the moment I slipped it on I FELL IN LOVE.
It’s FABULOUS.
I’m wearing the “dark khaki” here, but think it’s more of a dark and rich brown. The forearms are ribbed and fitted, it’s a batwing sleeve, and it’s a cocoon fit. It’s fitted more around the bottom, so it kind of just envelopes you. I think it’s awesome.
For size reference, I’m wearing a small.
batwing cocoon cardigan “dark khaki” / similar tee / chunky hoop earrings / medallion necklace / gold bracelet set /medium wash jeans “light blue” / chunky heel booties (1-light brown)
Okay! Get ready because it’s the batwing cocoon cardigan again! Before I was wearing it with a white tee, skinny jeans, and booties. Now I’m wearing it with my rust tee, straight leg jeans, and mules. I love both looks.
I think these leopard mules are the perfect choice for this outfit. Comfy and true to size!
batwing cocoon cardigan “dark khaki” / vintage pocket tee / chunky hoop earrings / medallion necklace / gold bracelet set / light blue vintage straight leg jeans / leopard mules
Another great fall outfit combo. How pretty is the camel with the rust?
This is a cardi that’s great for running around town, but it’s definitely nice enough for the office as well. I’ve had this one for a couple of years now, and it still looks awesome. It’s lightweight, and it’s an open design that lays perfectly. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium. This one comes in 21 colors, and most sizes and colors are under $30. It’s a great buy and a perfect closet basic.
And how awesome are these colors with my floral mules! It’s what fall dreams are made of y’all.

I LOVE a short-sleeved sweater, and this puff sleeved one is DARLING. This link has v-neck options, crew neck options, and even square neck options! I’m wearing the C-beige, and while I’m definitely keeping this one because I think it’s the perfect neutral, I’m also going to get a bold color. I’m thinking the bright pink! For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.

I took this right out of the box because it arrived while I was doing my try on, so it hadn’t yet received the wrinkle spray treatment, but how great are these sleeves! The boxy pleats, the subtle puff, and the banded hem… I love it all so much! This sweater has excellent ratings.

Also super highly rated with over 1,000 5-star reviews, this half-zip pullover is FABULOUS. I’m wearing the “solid rust red”, but it comes in 17 color options! I also love the light khaki and the solid denim blue. I love this style of sweater and the relaxed fit. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium, but I think a small would do.

I love a ruffle detail, and this ruffle sweater is darling. THE RUFFLE DETAILS ARE DARLING. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium in this one, but I think I need a small. This is the “solid pink”. It doesn’t look as dark as the one on the site, but I still really like it.
ruffle sweater / chunky hoop earrings / medallion necklace / gold bracelet set / stretchy jeans / chunky heel booties (1-light brown)
Maybe you remember I showed it in green last year! I forgot that I had shown this one before, and I’m wearing a small in this one. The smalls does seem to fit me the best.
ruffle sweater / LOVE necklace / 40 mm chunky hoop earrings / “light blue” Democracy jeans / multicolor bracelet / chunky heel booties (1-light brown)
I’ve always thought that mules are the perfect shoe to help transition you into fall.
This floral pattern spoke to me. These are so cute with sweaters and jeans! Or with black work pants! This is a great little shoe that really makes a statement. Comfy and true to size.
These are from the same maker, but in a classic leopard (these are officially called “e-leopard). The reviews on these mules are excellent, and they’re an awesome deal at under $40. Comfy and true to size.
These are very similar to Sam Edelman mules, but this price is definitely better. I love the chunky gold chain and the style they will bring to outfits. Comfy and true to size.
I also love the tweed with the gold chain and the cognac color with the monochromatic chain.
leopard mules / floral mules / nude mules
Click HERE for the chunky booties seen below. These are from 2 years ago and I wore them constantly and plan on continuing to wear them. Mine are the “light brown”, but there are several other very similar neutrals to choose from as well as white, cognac, black, snakeskin and others. The block heel, the pointy toe, and the deep cut out on the side all look awesome. They zip up the back, so they are very easy to get off and on. And listen, I clicked around, and all sizes and colors appear to be UNDER $50. What a deal! There’s a super similar pair available at Nordstrom right now, so these are a great more affordable option.
I think these are quite comfy and they are true to size for me. If you are often between sizes, I think I would recommend going down 1/2 a size.
