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...
Butter-soft shirt. Can wear without a bra if you wish!
The viral 3 pack bodysuit. Snatches the waist and can go braless!
Thinner so great for layering or to wear in the fall when the temps are varied
Three words: Built-in Bra! Or is that 2 words? So comfortable and great for layering. I got one in both black and brown! Fabric is butter soft as well.
A good, light weight staple jacket. Works with so many outfits
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.
Bottoms
These jeans have become a new staple. I love the curve love option that A&F has made available.
I'm a millennial, never giving up her skinny jeans.
Love these butter-soft leggings. I live in them while working remote
These have more stretch than expected!
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 ...
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...
Dresses/Jumpsuits
I was surprised by this one because I wasn't expecting it to fit right, but it did!
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.
Shoes, Bags & Stuff
These are comfy and supportive. I walk in these so easy. Literally shovelled snow in them once.
I bought these for my wedding reception but fell in love with them so much, I wear them ALL THE TIME. Perfect for the airport too!
These are an investment but I've really enjoyed them. Even having only one set of removable heels. The option to change to flats for walking or driving is so helpful!

Available through Amazon or buy direct from MMS Brands. This purse was perfect for a conference. Easily used as a backpack but also looks elevated as a purse. Big enough to fit an Ipad in too!
I have a slightly older version/style of this bag but I would certainly rebuy from this brand. They have multiple sizes and colors to choose from, and quility holds up. Its a go to for me when I'm going out to run errands so I don't have to worry abo...
Sunglasses are frankly something I will never invest a lot of money. I do not have a good track record of keeping them around. But they are a necessity. These are perfect for me. I love the shape and you get TWO pairs for super cheap. I honestly not ...
Improving the look
Very helpful on an hourglass figure when the hips of your pants finally fit but the waist is too big. Just pop one of these in!
Very helpful for the fuzz on your sweaters, keeping them looking fresh!
Perfect size for at home or to travel with!
Every outfit benefits from accessories and this is an incredible organizer. This is a little more expensive than I would usually spend on an organizing item, but I really enjoy all the options it has for storage, the fact that I can still hang my nec...
