Tops & Layering Pieces I Live In
The exact bodysuits, cozy tees, and oversized layers that make throwing an outfit together take less than two minutes.
I was skeptical because of the price, but the fabric holds everything in so smoothly without feeling suffocating. You don't even need to wear a bra with it, and it elevates basic jeans instantly.
Original Contour Headway Squareneck Bodysuit
My absolute favorite trick for that effortless "off-duty" oversized look. I buy this from the men’s section, and it gives the most perfect relaxed fit over leggings or shorts for under $15.
Hanes EcoSmart Unisex Fleece Sweatshirt (Big & Tall Sizes ...
The easiest sweater to throw on when you want to look put-together without trying. I drape it over my shoulders with a plain white tee or wear it tucked into straight-leg jeans.
STRIPED SHORT SLEEVE KNIT SWEATER
Finding a basic white tee that isn't completely see-through is so hard, but these are surprisingly thick and soft. They wash really well and don't lose their shape in the dryer.
2-Pack Classic-Fit Short-Sleeve Navy T-Shirt
I wear this as a light layer all year round. In the summer I keep it open over a tank top, and in the cooler months I layer it under a sweater with the collar popping out.

Bottoms That Are Actually Comfortable
Jeans that don't gap at the waist and leggings that stay opaque through every movement.
If you hate jeans that fit your hips but leave a huge gap at the waist, these will change your life. They give you extra room through the thighs while hugging your waist perfectly.
Women's Curve Love Ultra High Rise 90s Straight Jean
These feel identical to high-end $100+ alignment leggings for a fraction of the cost. The fabric feels like butter, they never roll down at the waist, and they are 100% squat-proof.
A timeless classic for a reason. The rigid denim stretches just enough to mold to your body over time, and the straight-leg silhouette looks amazing with everything from sneakers to boots.
Levis 501® Jeans for Women - The Original Button Fly
My go-to trousers for when I want to feel comfortable but look chic. The drape on these is incredible—they make you look so tall and polished without feeling stiff.
The Effortless Pant™ - Crepette™ | Aritzia US
The perfect length for running errands or lounging. They don't dig into your thighs, and they hold up amazingly well after endless cycles in the laundry.

Shoes & Finishing Touches
Hands down the most comfortable everyday walking shoes I own. The neutral color scheme goes with literally every outfit, from activewear to tailored trousers.
New Balance 574
My favorite low-profile white sneaker for dresses and jeans. They take a few days to break in, but once they do, they are super durable and easy to wipe clean.
CAMPO LEATHER WHITE NATURAL - VEJA
I wear these almost daily and they haven't tarnished at all. They are super lightweight so they don't pull on your earlobes, but they give any basic outfit an instant upgrade.
PAVOI 14K Gold Plated Small Chunky Hoops
The ultimate hands-free bag for running errands or walking. It holds your phone, keys, lip gloss, and wallet easily without feeling bulky across your chest.
