items In the process of upgrading my closet with natural fiber pieces, so most of this is on my wish list for now. Sharing the pieces I’m interested in and adding updates on the ones I’ve bought in case it’s helpful for anyone doing the same. For reference...

Tops
Lightweight and super comfortable. The material is thin, so it’s perfect for layering under sweaters or wearing on its own with a light jacket or cardigan. I own this in an XS.
Madewell Merino Wool-Silk Sweater Tank
One of my most-worn pieces! I have it in olive green and already want another. The crochet texture gives it a little something special. I own this in an XS.
Madewell Crochet-Knit V-Neck Sweater Vest
Thrifted this shirt in a greenish olive brown color and loved it so much I’m looking into getting more colors! I own this in a S for a slightly oversized look.
UNIQLO Linen Shirt
I feel like a denim button-down is a staple, so I’m starting with this affordable one from Old Navy. I like that it comes in petite sizes too!
Old Navy Oversized Boyfriend Button-Down Jean Shirt
As someone who lives in Texas where the heat is basically all year round, clothes that regulate temperature are a must. I’m just now getting into linen (not sure how I survived the Texas heat for 30+ years without linen lol), but here we are. Love th...
Not Perfect Linen MIJAS Bow Tie Blouse
I love the neckline and back detail and it’s long enough to cover the bum a little (which is major bonus). It’s a basic shirt but with just a little something that makes it special. Plus there are so many colors and patterns to choose from too.
Not Perfect Linen LEAF Cropped Front Linen Top
I go back and forth on investing in basics because…I’m clumsy. I spill things, especially when I wear white (it’s inevitable). It’s a hard pill to swallow if I have to replace a $50 white tee. I’ve heard great things about Old Navy’s basics and this ...
Old Navy Vintage Crew-Neck T-Shirt
There’s no one perfect tee. You need a few different kinds for different outfits and moods. This Everywhere Crew Neck is another one I’m trying as I build out my basics collection. Looks like a good classic fit that could go with pretty much anything...
Old Navy EveryWear Crew-Neck T-Shirt
Didn’t even realize I hopped on the polo trend until after I bought this lol. Saw it in store and tried on the XS and XXS. Ended up going with the XXS because the XS was a little more oversized than I wanted. This isn’t meant to be oversized, just a ...
Madewell Relaxed Polo Shirt in Stripe
I’m putting this under tops since a lot of reviews say it’s on the thinner side, even though J.Crew lists it with the sweaters. But wow…can we take a moment to appreciate how feminine and chic this is. Such an easy elevated piece that would pair with...
J.Crew Ribbed tulle-trim sweater-tee
Sweaters
I’m trying to find a few good sweaters that won’t break the bank to get me through the winter. Heard really good things about this one. Some say it looks super similar to The Row Ophelia sweater (which is $1,550!!!). The materials are different (Gap ...
UPDATE 11/12/25 - I got this sweater in a regular XS (petite XS wasn’t available) and it was HUGE. Definitely underestimated how oversized this one is lol. I also got the mockneck version in an XS petite and it was still pretty large, like could-be-a...

Gap 100% Cotton Oversized Sweater
The oversized cotton sweater is backordered until December (as of Nov 2025) so I missed the boat on that one lol. This oversized mock neck sweater is my next option! Haven’t heard much about it, but I love a mock neck, so I have high hopes.
UPDATE 11/12/25 - I got this one in an XS petite and it was still pretty big. Definitely has that oversized look, but on me it was more like a dress lol. The material and quality are really nice though, so if you like a looser fit, this could be a gr...

Gap 100% Cotton Oversized Mockneck Sweater
Excited for this one! Looks super easy to style with what I already have. The collar detail sold me (I’m a collar girl lol).
UPDATE 11/12/25: Quality was fine, but I didn’t love the style in person. I ordered a petite XS and petite S to compare, and the XS fit better. My main issue was the buttons. When closed, they made the fabric look wavy, like it was pulling, even thou...

Gap 100% Cotton Collared Crop Cardigan Sweater
The Rollneck is on my radar! This style has been around for a bit and recently popped off on TikTok. I’m waiting for a sale so I can pull the trigger.
UPDATE 11/19/25 - The hype around this sweater is real lol. Tried it and instantly fell in love. It’s oversized in the cute way, not the drowning way, and the roll neck doesn’t come up so high that it looks like I’m being eaten alive. There are a few...

J. Crew Rollneck Sweater
The neckline and the sleeves on this one are everything! It just looks so effortlessly chic. I wish it came in more colors, so I might wait to see if this style comes out again next year.
J. Crew Ribbed Boatneck Sweater
This one’s a dream item. It gives the same vibe as The Row Ophelia sweater, but it’s made from 100% cashmere and way more attainable. Still pricey, but I’ve heard great things. If it’s in your budget, it could be worth the splurge. I don’t think I co...
COS Chunky Cashmere Crew-Neck Sweater
So cute with the stripes! I don’t usually go for stripes but these are spaced far apart so it feels a lot more wearable. The color combo is perfect and I can already see so many ways to style it.
UPDATE 11/19/25 - The perfect oversized look. I got this in an XS and it’s so soft and cozy. Keeping this on my list to check out again next year when they drop more colors because I already know I’ll want another one.

Marine Layer Berkeley Oversized Crewneck Sweater
Just found out they make a regular version of the Berkeley sweater. The color is perfect, festive without being too festive if you know what I mean. I haven’t tried it yet, but I’m curious to see how it fits compared to the oversized one.
UPDATE 11/19/25 - Ordered this in an XS and a S and went back and forth about 50 times lol. Ended up keeping the XS. It has a relaxed fit and hits at a really good spot. The small was just a little baggier, and since I already kept the oversized vers...

Marine Layer Berkeley Crewneck Sweater
Got this in an XS. It’s another relaxed-fit sweater that just fits perfectly. When I first tried it on I wasn’t totally sure, but the longer I wore it, the more I liked it lol. I wish the red was in stock when I was in store, but the black is stunnin...
Madewell Textured-Stitch Crewneck Sweater
I tried the GAP oversized sweater and the oversized fit was just way too big on me, so I have to move on lol. Then I found this one. It has a similar vibe, just in a relaxed cropped fit instead of full-on oversized. I think I can still get the look I...
Gap Factory Relaxed Cropped Crewneck Sweate
I haven’t shopped at Banana Republic in YEARS, but since Gap is making a comeback I figured why not check out BR too. The J.Crew rollneck sweater has taken over my entire feed, so I’ve been looking at similar styles from other brands. This one in the...
Banana Republic Cotton Roll-Neck Sweater
Another great deal from Gap Factory for 100% cotton. I won’t be picking these up since I already have a long list going, but I still wanted to share. Factory stores can be hit or miss with natural fiber pieces, but every now and then you can find a f...
Gap Factory Cable-Knit Crewneck Sweater
I think a cardigan is a must in every closet. They’re cute, versatile, and perfect if you’re like me and always need a light layer when you head out. I’ll be trying this one soon, but wanted to share in case you’re on the hunt for a good cardigan. Re...
Gap Factory Crewneck Cardigan
I’ve been on the hunt for a good quarter zip and still haven’t found the one yet. I love the style of this, but the silver hardware isn’t my favorite since I’m more of a gold girl. Still wanted to add it here because it seems well loved and it’s almo...
Gap Factory Relaxed Ribbed Quarter-Zip Sweater
Love a dramatic sleeve and this sweater looks like it can be dressed up or down. Since you have to layer, it could even work as a light spring sweater too. Sadly it’s sold out in my size, so maybe they’ll have a similar style next year, but how cute ...
Gap Factory Relaxed Pointelle Balloon-Sleeve Sweater
Another rollneck option I looked into. This could be a great pick if the J.Crew one isn’t your vibe or you can’t get your hands on it. I’m not obsessed with the colors and designs LL Bean has out this year, but I’ll keep an eye on it again next year.
L.L.Bean Rollneck Cotton Sweater
I’ve heard really good things about Lands’ End cashmere and how the quality is amazing for the price. These look like great basics, so they’re on my list to try. Definitely grab them on sale since they seem to get marked down pretty often. Comes in a...
Lands' End Cashmere Sweater
Bottoms
Easy to style and feels so chic wearing shorts that aren’t denim lol. Lightweight and comfy for hotter weather. I own this in an XS.
Madewell Curved Hem Pull-On Linen Shorts
Probably the most expensive jeans I own right now, but totally worth it. They feel structured yet comfortable and have a really polished look. They’re supposed to hit at the ankle, but on me they hit the floor, which is perfect for the shorties since...
Aritzia Denim Forum Diaz Hi-rise Bootcut Jean
I looooove a wide leg pant. It looks so chic and elevated but still comfy cozy. These linen pants are mixed with lyocell, which is made from wood pulp. While lyocell isn’t 100% natural since it’s processed, it’s a much better choice than polyester bl...
Marine Layer Linen Drawstring Wide Leg Pant
As someone with pretty basic tops, I think the best way to add pattern to my wardrobe is through pants! I have my eye on the mid sand gingham pattern since it feels like a neutral and would pair well with so many things. There are tons of color and p...
Not Perfect Linen Maxi WELS Wide Leg Linen Pants
Thought I would NEVER put a pair of barrel jeans on my body, but here I am wanting these in every color. They are so flattering. I tried a 26R and they fit amazing. The length was perfect too so I don’t think I even need the petite. The only reason I...
Madewell Darted Barrel-Leg Jean
I recently thrifted a pair of boot cut corduroy pants and while I love them, I was originally looking for wide leg pants. Then I found these beauties. I haven’t heard much about this brand personally, but the reviews look solid so I juuust might pick...
Kut from the Kloth Meg Corduroy High Rise Wide Leg
I picked up this skirt because I’ve always loved the vibe of sweaters and skirts together, and that’s exactly what I pictured when I saw it. I’m hoping the J.Crew rollneck sweaters I ordered pair well with it, but if not, I already have a few other o...
WAYF Sarah Plaid Cotton Drawstring Miniskirt
These might be the perfect comfy but make it interesting pants. The ruffle detail is doing something to my brain. Might have to get them hemmed if I end up ordering and keeping them. I saw this brand on TikTok and wanted to check them out, and they a...
Things Between Milton Pants
How cute are these?! I know I’m late to the barrel jean thing but whatever. The little bow detail is so fun and just adds something to a regular pair of denim. These are pretty affordable so I think I’m going to order them soon.
The Things Between Trini Jeans
Obviously I’m seeing I like gingham and ruffles lol. If the pants work out then of course I’ll end up buying the shorts like same same but different you know. This would be so cute with an oversized sweater and some boots but it can also take you int...
Things Between Sofia Shorts
Dresses
The DRESS??? I love the cinched waist detail. Sometimes long dresses can feel overwhelming, but I saw one review that this one’s petite-girl friendly, so I might just get it. I think I can still get some use out of it since it’s still pretty warm her...
Marine Layer Arden Midi Shirt Dress
Outerwear
Love this jacket for transitional weather! It’s super lightweight and instantly dresses up the simplest outfits. If you want to try the barn coat trend, Uniqlo’s a great option with lots of colors. I want to try the Old Navy one next since it’s suppo...
UNIQLO Zip-Up Short Jacket
Debating if I want this one since I already have the Uniqlo jacket and I’m trying to keep my wardrobe minimal, but wanted to include it since it looks like a solid option. The heritage green and chocolate brown are my favorites. Not sure if it’s thic...
Old Navy Canvas Barn Jacket
I’ve been on the hunt for a better quality cropped trench coat. I currently have one from Forever 21 that’s surprisingly held up, but it’s 100% polyester and definitely time for an upgrade. This one from Aritzia looks so good. It’s made from cotton t...
UPDATE 11/19/25 - I got to try this on and LOVED how it fit. I tried both the XXS and XS, and if I were to get this I’d go with the XS. The XXS was just a tad too tight, and if I wanted to wear a sweater under it I’d feel way too constricted. The len...
