Get this in every color! This preppy twofer sweater as an added collar and bottom to look like you're wearing two layers. Perfect for a business casual or a preppy weekender vibe. True to size but go one size up for a looser drape.

I always struggle to find tees that don't look too boxy. Nordstrom's Caslon is my go-to brand for repeatable tees that drape beautifully and don't lose their shape in the wash! Due to their looser fit, I recommend going down in one size.

I adore the stretchy comfort of Wit & Wisdom jeans! These are must-have staples for the weekend wardrobe and are true high-rise jeans with a longer inseam. Definitely size down, even two sizes, as these jeans have plenty of stretch!

Life's too short to be worried about chafing! I love these Spanx shorts to wear under dresses and skirts to keep my thighs separated and happy. Does not roll up or down!

I swear these things are indestructible. I wear these to work out, to protect against chafing under a dress, and just lounging around the house. They provide support without suffocating and 6"/8" especially work well for jogs too. True to size!

When it comes to layering, I'm very serious about my camis! Shapermint camisoles slip right under sweaters, dresses, etc. and act like shape-wear without suffocating you. Plus, for colder temperatures, they really provide extra warmth by hugging your...
