This COLOR 😍. Plus, the keyholes make it feel like I actually tried when really I just threw on a sweatshirt.
Aerie Très Chic Keyhole Sweatshirt
Basically my weekend uniform. Looks like a hoodie, feels like a cloud, and I can still get away with wearing it to brunch.
AE Everyday Luxe Hoodie
Soft, cozy, and polished — my ideal fall sweater.
AE Whoa So Soft Mock Neck Sweater
Lightweight, soft, and just a little feminine with the lace detail. Perfect for layering in fall — cozy enough for weekends, polished enough for work.
AE Whoa So Soft Lace Sweater
I don’t care what Gen Z says — I’ll wear skinny jeans until the end of time. Trendy or not, they just work. 😋
AE Stretch Skinny Jean
Pretty sure I owned these exact jeans in high school. Not mad about it. The fit’s better now, though — stretchy, flattering, and actually comfy.
AE Next Level Curvy Super High-Waisted Flare Jean
Splurge
Yes, she’s a splurge. But OMG, she’s cute. Stripes are my weakness, and this one is basically perfection in sweater form.
AE77 Premium Shaker Stitch Sweater
The dress that makes me want to throw on leggings and frolic through a field of crunchy leaves. Cozy, cute, and perfect for fall layering.
Cotton Mini Dress with Belt Bag | Banana Republic
Pretty sure I’d wear this until it falls apart. The silhouette is classy, and that low back adds just enough flair to make me feel like I tried (but not too hard).
Low-Back Midi Dress | Banana Republic
Impractical? Yes. Gorgeous? Also yes. Waiting on my awards-show invite.
Stretch-Satin Cape Maxi Dress | Banana Republic
I want to be the girl who wears leather skirts. Realistically? Probably not happening. But the dream lives here.
Seamed A-line Skirt In Faux Leather For Women
A true transitional-season floral. The ditsy little flowers make it sweet without being over the top — easy to wear now with sandals, later with boots and a cardigan.
Delilah dress in Liberty® strawberry floral fabric
A flowy floral dream — perfect for twirling, layering, and pretending my life is more elegant than it is.
Gwyneth Flounce-hem Skirt In Sky Floral Chiffon For Women
This is the coat I picture myself reaching for when fall turns to winter. The stadium-cloth wool keeps me warm without bulk, and that rich crimson color feels bold but classic. It’s the kind of outerwear that dresses up whatever’s underneath.
