Friday Favorites: SOOOOOOOO MANY SALES!

It’s Friday, so y’all know what that means! It’s time to link up with Erika and Andrea to share our current favorites!

THE DRAWSTRING PANTS ARE NOW AVAILABLE

Ladies! I have some great news! Back in September I posted some outfit plan collages with a pair of drawstring ponte pants. They sold out immediately, and I was so sad that so many of y’all wanted them that couldn’t get them. Well, THEY’RE BACK and FULLY STOCKED!

They’re from Wit and Wisdom, they are an awesome ponte fabric (which means they are so stretchy and comfy), and they are DARLING.

They will be great for those of you that work in an office environment, but you can see here that I also think they look great styled casually with sneakers.

They look great with flats too, and the flats are ON SALE! I have them and love them so much. This sweater is on sale too.

I actually had a post with these pants that was supposed to go live way back in September, but I put it on hold when the pants were no longer available. I hope to finally publish it next week, but in the meantime, here’s a sneak peek…

LOOK HOW CUTE!

Plain and simple, THESE PANTS ARE FANTASTIC. And the readers that were lucky enough to grab them back in September think so too! I’ve received countless messages singing their praises. They are a substantial ponte knit, but they aren’t too thick or bulky. They are incredibly flattering, super comfy with the drawstring waist, and just a cool look! You can easily dress them up for the office with a nice sweater and flats, but I also love them worn super casually here with sneakers.

A perfect mix of comfy and polished, these stretchy ponte pants feature a drawstring waist, full-length legs and ‘Ab’Leisure shaping pockets for a smooth fit.

For size reference, I’m wearing a small.

TWO PAIRS OF MUST HAVE JEANS ON SALE

These are my must have jeans.

I love them so much, and I’ve never seen them go on sale…UNTIL NOW!

My MUST HAVE jeans just hit the sale yesterday, y’all!

white tee / earrings / necklace / beaded bracelet / straight leg ankle jeans / neutral sneakers (white/tan leather)

These jeans were my very favorite jeans last fall, and they still are. They are a straight leg 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. Especially now that they are ON SALE!

IMPORTANT INFO: There was some understandable confusion yesterday when I linked these jeans, because they are called “skinny jeans” on the site and some of y’all were wondering if I had linked the right pair of jeans since I described them as “straight leg”. I did link the right pair, and I actually have no idea why they call them skinny jeans. I think of them as a subtle straight leg jean. I think a skinny jean is tight and fitted all the way down the calf and around the hem, but these aren’t. They aren’t a wide leg by any means, but they aren’t skinny either. Just a nice subtle straight leg. Hope this helps!

They are a great way to not wear a skinny jean without having to go total wide leg or flare. As far as I’m concerned, these are THE JEANS for fall! 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 pic is about the sneakers, but check out the subtle frayed hem and the side slits on the jeans. So cute! (And while you’re at it, check out the precious pup.) 😉

These sneakers come in tons of color options, and I have a couple of them, but this pair is a great neutral option (officially the “white/tan leather”). I love that you just slip them on and don’t have to worry about tying the laces. They are quite comfy and are a great casual touch with so many outfits. I wear them with jeans, shorts, skirts, and dresses. True to size for me.

My MUST HAVE boot cut jeans are NOW ON SALE as well! I’ve been wearing and talking about them for years, and I’m still wearing and talking about them. As I’ve said a thousand times before, they make you look taller and skinnier (than you already are). 🙂 These are also stretchy, comfy, and flattering. I’m wearing my regular size 4, but most size down because of the stretch.

SALE ALERTS! SALE ALERTS! SALE ALERTS!

Okay, there are TONS OF SALES going down right now, and I wanted to take the time today to highlight some really great finds.

This pic is from last year, but this sweater is back and it’s ON SALE. And it’s soooo good.

sweater

You can see that the sweater is a GORGEOUS cobalt blue. In addition to this blue, it also comes in a beautiful holiday red, a stunning Kelly green, and a lovely antique white. And all 4 colors are on sale. The exaggerated and fitted cuffs, the pleated shoulders, and the banded hem at the waist are all such great details. They make the fit of the sweater so unique! For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.

sweater / sunglasses / multicolor earrings / layered necklace / cuff bracelet / bag / cropped jeans

The red or green sweater options would be gorgeous for the holidays.

This dress is 40% OFF!

I already have the earrings, the bracelet, the boots, and the bag…… so you guessed it…. I ordered the dress too. I love the pattern, the colors, the smocked waist, and the double flutter sleeves! This would be a great look for fall family pictures.

dress / earrings / necklace / bracelet stack / lip gloss / tall boots / woven bag (brown)

I have this exact sweater in SEVERAL colors and love it. This beautiful “toasted brown” is now on sale. I think it’s such a warm and wonderful fall color. It would be great on Thanksgiving Day. It’s a relaxed fit, so there’s plenty of room for mashed potatoes and pie. I’m wearing a medium, but a small would be more than fine. It’s very oversized, so I would suggest sizing down. And these are the MUST HAVE JEANS that are on sale too!

sweater / straight leg ankle jeans / ink + alloy beaded earrings / similar cross necklace / gold bracelet stack / booties 

The sweater and the jeans are BOTH ON SALE.

sweater / straight leg ankle jeans / white bag / heart necklace / hoop earrings / gold bracelet stack (matte gold tone) / sneakers (white/tan leather)

Here’s another way to style the sweater. I wanted to show that although it looks great worn casually with jeans and sneakers, it is possible to dress it up a bit! I love it here with cream cords and heeled booties! This could be a fun date night look, but it would also work for a casual office environment.

And to show the versatility of the cords and all of the accessories, look at this outfit where all I did was switch out the vibrant pink and orange sweater for this more muted sweater (NOW ON SALE!). So pretty!

sweater / gold earrings / cuff bracelet / Ab Solution cords / bag / booties

And this sweater also looks great worn casually as well. Again, both the sweater and the jeans are on sale!

sweater / gold earrings / woven bag / straight leg ankle jeans / sneakers (white/tan leather)

 

This balloon sleeve sweater is adorable, and most colors are NOW ON SALE. I’m wearing the “wild oak”, but there are several other colors to choose from. The material is very soft and not chunky or thick at all. The v-neck isn’t too deep, and the balloon sleeves add just the right amount of drama. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.

And if you’re not familiar, these are the best black pants ever. They’re not on sale, but they’re still worth it. These pants are comfy, stretchy, stylish, flattering, affordable, and seriously the best ever. For size reference, I wear my regular size 4, but I think that most size down in these.

LIMITED QUANTITIES OF SWEATER ARE BACK

THIS SUPER POPULAR SWEATER is now back in limited quantities! Use the code STMT10 to get 10% OFF.

IT. IS. FABULOUS.

And it’s not just me that thinks it’s fabulous… go read the reviews. There are 339 reviews with the average rating being 4.91 stars!

This dolman style sweater features a slouch neck and stylish fitted sleeves and hem. It will make the perfect addition to your fall wardrobe. Wear with your favorite denim or leggings.

The fit is so forgiving, and you can style it several ways:

1. You can pull it up and fold it under (like I’ve done on the left here). This makes it look like it’s tucked in, but you don’t have to worry about it looking bulky.
2. You can pull the banded hem down around your hips and wear it kind of slouchy (like on the right below).
3. You’ll see later in the post how you can pull it all the way down and wear it with leggings (depending on how tall you are of course).

There’s so much I love about this sweater. I like the slouchy neck a lot. It adds style and personality to the sweater, but it’s not restrictive at all. The sleeves are dolman (which I love), but the arms are fitted, so it keeps it from looking sloppy. You can also see below how I give the sleeves a nice thick cuff so they aren’t too long and baggy on me.

For size reference, I’m wearing the small/medium.

It says “hand wash”, but I don’t hand wash and neither do the reviewers. Thank heavens for that, because I don’t hand wash ANYTHING. One reviewer said, “It also washes well in the washing machine. Just make sure you lay it flat to dry. It does keep its shape and doesn’t shed or clump up.”  Just wash it with similar items (not towels), pop it in the dryer for like 5 minutes, and then hang to dry on one of my velvet hangers.

sweater / chunky gold hoops / MUST HAVE black pants / similar pumps

And here’s the same sweater in pink! I swear I could own this sweater in 5 colors and not even feel weird about it.

I’m wearing it with a nice pair of slacks here and in the picture above, so you can see that it really is perfect for the office.

sweater / chunky gold hoops / MUST HAVE black pants / similar pumps

As I said, the sweater is easy to dress up or down, so I wanted to show it styled a couple more ways.

Here are both colors with my favorite boot cut jeans. You can see on the left I have the sweater bloused over the banded hem, and on the right I have the banded hem turned under.

sweater / chunky gold hoops / boot cut jeans / booties

And the pink. Turned under on the left, bloused up over the banded hem on the right.

sweater / chunky gold hoops / boot cut jeans / booties

Okay, I’ve got one more way to style the sweater for you today!

If pulled all the way down, I LOVE it with my faux leather leggings. This is obviously a much more casual look.

If you don’t have these leggings, you need to size up 1 from your regular leggings size. At 5’4″, I wear the Petite Medium in the leggings.

I. LOVE. THIS. LOOK.

Are you traveling anywhere this fall or winter? This would be the perfect outfit for your travel day!

Here’s the pink sweater with the same leggings.
