So listen – I’m no OP and I’m no Julia from Gal Meets Glam – I wear my Cougar sweatpants to get coffee in the morning, not my couture… aaaaaand my budget is a little more Target Chic than Chanel. That said… I do have pretty discerning taste when it comes to what I put in my closet. I love a good staple (they’re so hard to find!), and I try not to buy anything that I don’t really need or don’t absolutely love. Ye know – that whole quality trumps quantity thing. Everything on this list I have either tried on or own, so I can vouch for all of ’em. Here are my favorite hardworking pieces for work this Fall:
1 – Faux Leather Skirt in Aubergine, ZARA, $59.90 (There’s nothing that feels or looks “faux” about this. It is buttery and flattering and delicious.)
2 – Vintage Brass Bar Monogram Bangle, BIXBY & BALL, $34 (Karrie bought this on one of our last spins through Bixby, and now I think I must have it – looks great layered with a few bangles)
3 – Mira Pump in Vapor Grey, MADEWELL, $168 (Equally stunning in Bright Flame)
4 – Striped A-Line Dress, TOPSHOP, $135 (look at the fun detail at the waist)
5 – Shawled Sweater Coat, ANTHROPOLOGIE, $198 (This is so flattering & cozy on!! More of a sweater than a coat, so it’s perfect for Fall, and for Winter in a warmer climate. Also comes in ivory and in black, but I loved moss.)
6 – Reversible Leather Tote, NORDSTROM, $48 (I like it best in color: black/hematite)
Happy Shopping!
I luvvvvvv that sweater coat! Wait do u wear it over stuff?
I think you can wear it over a thin sweater. I just wouldn’t wear it over an afghan-type nubby chunky number.
these are wonderful! Thanks for sharing!
Love, Jamie Herzlinger
Thank you sweet Jamie!!
Cougar sweatpants! Love them, love you, and love all of these. Totes getting that faux leather skirt. Miss you!
RACH! The Cougar Sweatpants are a forever staple, right?! And I just bought the skirt myself. I’d tried it on before, but I breezed back through today and decided I absolutely couldn’t let it get away. Miss your face! Salma is a princess! xoxo
