Tops
Obsessed with the fabric! Not as fitted as the similar top i got from Amazon but it's perfect for its own purposes and a little better for elevating an outfit. A little longer than a typical crop, but as a bigger chested midsize girlie, I wouldn't co...

A good, light weight staple jacket. Works with so many outfits
Cropped Bomber Varsity Jacket | Megfie
I was hesitant to buy this at first because it's more than I usually spend, but it was worthhhhh it. As a 34DDD, a medium worked best for me. It's so comfortable but still offers lift. I need to get more.

Wide Leg Baggy Jeans, High Waist | HDLTE
This skirt has become a staple. Light weight, easy to dress up, or down. I also appreciate the slit isn't too high so you can easily wear spanks underneath if you want to. There is a similar skirt at Target in more colors being sold, but the band at ...
Women's A-Line Midi Slip Skirt - A New Day™ Black M
I was looking for something similar to the black skirt I got from Target and this is a good match! Lots of different colors. It is a little slimmer in the waist than the Target skirt I spend so much time in (both are a Large), but still like it a lot...
Satin Long Skirt, A Line Split | ATHX
Dresses/Jumpsuits
I was surprised by this one because I wasn't expecting it to fit right, but it did!
Sleeveless Flare Jumpsuits for Women | Vertvie
It says light grey, but I feel like it has a green tint to it. I LOVE this dress. It is so comfortable. I wore it driving on 12 hour road trips. I wore a large and when I first tried it on, I thought I might have to size up. But because of the ribbin... Plus, its somehow soft, fitted, and not constricting all at the same time. I will be wearing this all fall with cute jackets.

Surprising light weight! I have been wearing these non stop. Big enough to be noticeable, but basic enough to pair with anything without being over-the-top

The amount of pockets…! Super comfortable and I love the semi cargo look. Paired it with the the matching long sleeve top and it is so cute!
High-Waisted PowerSoft Cargo 7/8 Leggings
Since I have wide shoulders, I find it really annoying trying to take off a sweaty bra after a workout. I basically have to turn into a contortionist. These solve that problem. Easy on, easy off! I do not consider these compressive, but they are good...
Wireless Zip Front Sports Bra
I really like these tops because they offer some coverage for the arms and chest. But when working out, I feel like I can get a overheated so having airflow in the back keeps things temperate. This is definitely helpful in the spring and fall when it...
