items Officially transferred into the big girl stage last autumn - so long college - and it has been different. And hard. And nerve wracking. I was the first person in my family to go to college; to apply for financial aid, register for classes (suckssss a...

Tops
If you wear it from the waist to the neck then its in this section! Tops, sweaters, cardigans, & jackets.
Favorite turtleneck top! Incredibly breathable and not see through. Material composition is Rayon 95% + Spandex 5% in case you want to look elsewear. I am *delicate* in anything touching my neck, I don't typically like it but this top is not constric...
Viscose Turtleneck Top - Black - Ladies | H&M US
Such a sophisticated cardigan that elevates any outfit! I bought this exact cardigan because I like for the cable knit design to be throughout the entire clothing piece. When the cable/knit design is only in the front, I think it makes it look cheap ...
Cable-Knit Cardigan - Light gray melange - Ladies | H&M US
This is a perfect lightweight cardigan! Very simple and relaxed option that is actually available in majority of sizes.
Cable-Knit Cardigan - Navy blue - Ladies | H&M US
The perfect color that goes pairs well in every season that requires a coat (autumn, winter + spring in Seattle)! You can very easily buy this discounted if you use the coupon option I listed below with the pants (recycling at H&M). I think this ...
Double-Breasted Coat - Taupe - Ladies | H&M US
I have this jacket in Black which I loveee, 59% wool. It most definitely keeps me warm and feels like a grown up jacket. I think black pairs well with everything but the brown chevron looks enticing!
Short Wool-Blend Coat - Abercrombie
Bottoms
If you wear it from the waist and down to your ankles then it in this section! Jeans, trousers, skirts, tights, & pants.
The first pair of pants I purchased (&kept). I think I bought six different pants from H&M, Old Navy + Marshalls but these are the only ones I kept. Originally, I was looking for less than $25, neutral, versatile, and comfortable.
Dress Pants - Black - Ladies | H&M US
These are the same material composition as the first pair of pants from H&M I linked (Polyester 63% Rayon 33% Spandex 4%) which is the perfect trinity for me! Comfortable and not easily wrinkled.
Wide-Leg Dress Pants - Light gray/pinstriped - Ladies | H&M US
TIP!! If you take old/unwanted clothes to H&M, you receive a coupon! I did this in December 2025 and received a 15% off coupon

Shoes
If you wear it on your feet then its here! Yes, this is just shoes.
First pair of “work” shoes I purchased!! I found the open back green version of this Cara style at Marshalls for $35 that I loved and came directly to TOMS to purchase these. I went half a size up! I have slight wide feet-I can easily wear normal siz...
Cara Black Leather Loafer
THESE ARE SO CUTE (sadly for my wallet). I tried them on in person and can confidently say they are comfortable! The C strap is so cute and I love everything Coach.
Leah Loafer
Accessories
Its the little details that tie an outfit together! Jewelry, socks, tights, and scarves.
These are my favorite type of socks! I have been gradually replacing all my costco socks with these because Hanes SuperSoft is very breathable and not as thick as the ankle costco ones. TIP: I actually found the all white six pack at ross for $2.99 i...
Hanes Women's No Show Socks, Originals Supersoft, 6-Pack, Size 5-9 - Walmart.com
I got this ring in yellow gold for my last birthday and I think its such a simple stunning ring! Very low key, won't distract others if you are speaking with your hands but will beautifully decorate your fingers. I'll upload my own picture of the rin...
Diamond 1/10 CTTW Accent Natural White Diamond 10K White Yellow Gold Band
I found this one while I looked for the band I got for my birthday (previous link) and it caught my eye! I think $190 is a great price for yellow gold and natural diamond in such an eye appealing design.
Diamond Accent Natural White Diamond 10K Yellow Gold Heart Wedding Band
I bought the small circle in 14k yellow gold in August 2022 and still love it. HOWEVER the band itself is pretty thin and with enough force can be bent out of shape. The circle shape itself is still solid for me though! And I again, love it, I think its dainty and helps my fingers look longer!
Open Circle Ring 14K or 18K Real Gold, Minimalist Dainty Thin Gold Ring, Big Circle Smooth Ring, Minimal Geometric Ring
Another purchase from a couple of years ago that I still love and make me feel grown up in the corporate world (even though I have no idea what I am doing). I wear it as a thumb ring and I think it has held up good enough for me. The leafs design is ...
Solid Gold Leaf Branch Ring 14k Solid Gold Ring
This is the most similar to my vintage Citizen watch that I absolutely love. I feel so grown up wearing a watch to work! its quartz, gold, rectangular shape, NOT bulky at all! I have bigger hands so this toes the line perfectly. Its pretty easy to re...
Ladies' Citizen Eco-Drive Corso Watch - Stainless Steel and Leather Band | Fred Meyer Jewelers
I have the WH 1000XM4 which is one generation older but I absolutely love them, sound proof is 10/10 and sound itself as well. I am a commuter and put them to charge once every two week with battery still left! I tried to look for my version-XM4-but ...
