Happy Friday, friends, and cheers to the weekend! We’re in full-blown photoshoot prep mode over here, with just a few days left before we head out to shoot our latest Hi Sugarplum Collection for Gibson!
I’ve been busy styling outfit combinations, and can hardly wait for you to see it all! It launches mid-October, so make sure you’re subscribed HERE so you don’t miss it! Plus, Hi Sugarplum subscribers will have VIP Access a full day earlier this time!
We blinked and another month has gone by, and today it’s time for your favorite series, my Amazon Fashion Finds! I started these Fashion Finds five years ago, and they quickly became reader faves. It takes some intense digging to find the good stuff, but I love the challenge of discovering such gems!
With the weather finally starting to change, I’ve got a mix of styles for whatever Fall feels like in your area.
Sizing info: I’m 5’4″ 125-ish pounds, and usually wear an XS and 26 jeans. My fit tips and sizing recommendations are included with each description.
Dresses //
Starting with this soft maxi, since I’ve worn it twice already, and both times people have stopped to ask about it! So not only is it flowy and soft, in the best Fall colors, but it’s super cute, too. With adjustable straps and partially lined skirt, it’s darling with or without a jean jacket.
Fit Tip: size Small
Floral Dress (color: 2141 yellow) | Jean Jacket | Slide Sandals | Layered Pendant Necklace | Gold Bead Bracelets | VE x Sheaffer Told Me To Wrap Bracelet
I shared this dress in bold pink last month (see it HERE), and y’all snatched it up so fast! I couldn’t help but try another color, and this deep green is so on-trend for the season. The material is thick and substantial, while also having nice movement. I love the flutter sleeve and easy, tiered fit.
Fit Tip: It’s a generous fit, I’m in an XS
Tiered V-Neck Dress (dark green) | Slide Sandals | Layered Pendant Necklace | Gold Bead Bracelets | VE x Sheaffer Told Me To Wrap Bracelet
Hello bold and beautiful! I was immediately drawn to the colors and pattern of this dress, and love the easy, loose fit with either slides or booties. Made of a silky material, the sleeves are full and can be worn long or pulled up.
Fit Tip: Size Small dress, sandals TTS
Abstract Dress (color: 01 Geom Navy) | Woven Sandals | Booties | Layered Pendant Necklace | Gold Bead Bracelets | VE x Sheaffer Told Me To Wrap Bracelet
Another tiered option, with a more petite flutter sleeve, this textured dress has a bit more structure, and I love this deep olive for Fall. I have it in black, too, and wear it every season but Winter!
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Small
Ruffle Sleeve Dress | Slide Sandals | Layered Pendant Necklace | Gold Bead Bracelets | VE x Sheaffer Told Me To Wrap Bracelet
This fit and flare dress is as comfy as it is chic! Made of a thick, stretchy knit blend, the top fits like a comfortable t-shirt, but with flattering darts and seams. The skirt has box pleats for an a-line fit and good movement. It’s perfect for work, and a great option for teachers!
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a small
Elbow Sleeve Dress (color: B-w Plaid) | Pumps | Slide Sandals | Layered Pendant Necklace | Gold Bead Bracelets | VE x Sheaffer Told Me To Wrap Bracelet
The requests for wedding guest dresses are rolling in, and quite a few are black tie! I wore this dress to our last black tie event, and no one could believe it was only $50! This is a similar style, with an even better price, plus a flattering neckline and flare for an hourglass shape. It’s a poly-blend, with lots of stretch that forms to your body, and moves well.
Fit Tip: size Small
Y-Neck Gown | Gold Bead Bracelets | VE x Sheaffer Told Me To Wrap Bracelet
Tops & Tees //
A great top for Fall in the South… a lightweight sweater material, in the perfect shade of oatmeal, with a flattering halter neckline. It’s long with a side slit for wearing out, or tucking in for a clean silhouette.
Fit Tip: size Small
Sleeveless Sweater (color: Yellowish Brown) | White Jeans | Slide Sandals | Black Jeans | Mules | Layered Pendant Necklace | Gold Bead Bracelets | VE x Sheaffer Told Me To Wrap Bracelet
How about this darling top for an Amazon find?! I’m smitten with the lace, and the dusty purple is so fun for Fall. It’s a thick material, partially lined, and easily dressed up or down. It would be beautiful layered under a jacket or blazer, too.
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Small
Lace Top | Raw Hem Jeans | Slide Sandals | Layered Pendant Necklace | Gold Bead Bracelets | VE x Sheaffer Told Me To Wrap Bracelet
Hello, cozy! This top is a super soft brushed fleece with a little puff at the shoulder for a touch of feminine. Darling with jeans, but cozy enough to wear with pajamas around the house!
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Small
Puff Sleeve Crewneck (color: Z-green) | Cropped Straight Leg Jeans | Chain Mules | Layered Pendant Necklace | Gold Bead Bracelets | VE x Sheaffer Told Me To Wrap Bracelet
A tee so nice I bought it twice! A relaxed-fit tee in the softest jersey material, with a cute tulip sleeve. I love how it dresses up a bit with the white denim, but also pairs so cute with sneakers.
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a small tee, and 27 jeans.
V-Neck Tee (brown) | White Jeans | Slide Sandals | Distressed High Waist Jeans | Sneakers | Layered Pendant Necklace | Gold Bead Bracelets | VE x Sheaffer Told Me To Wrap Bracelet
Every Sugarplum closet needs a classic striped tee, and they don’t come much better than this one! Made of a smooth and stretchy blend, it’s the right weight for layering, but not sheer at all. Great longer length, too.
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Small
Boat Neck Tee (black white) | Cropped Straight Leg Jeans | Chain Mules | Layered Pendant Necklace | Gold Bead Bracelets | VE x Sheaffer Told Me To Wrap Bracelet
Shirts //
I’m always listening to your feedback, and I noticed that many of you appreciate longer tops that cover the bum… and I found some great classic styles that do just that! I love that this style is slightly oversized, but not sloppy. It has a cute cuff on the drop sleeve, and a petite collar for a feminine fit.
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Small
Tunic | Cropped Straight Leg Jeans | Chain Mules | Layered Pendant Necklace | Gold Bead Bracelets | VE x Sheaffer Told Me To Wrap Bracelet
A similar shirt, this one in a popover style with 3/4 buttons. The quality is really good on these, and they launder well, too.
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size XS
Striped Tunic | Cropped Straight Leg Jeans | Chain Mules | Layered Pendant Necklace | Gold Bead Bracelets | VE x Sheaffer Told Me To Wrap Bracelet
And finally, same great weight for Fall, but this one in a full button and fun stripe options.
Fit Tip: I’m wearing an size XS
Boyfriend Tunic | White Jeans | Chain Mules | Layered Pendant Necklace | Gold Bead Bracelets | VE x Sheaffer Told Me To Wrap Bracelet
Sweaters & Cardigans //
You know I can’t have a Fall Haul without a cardigan! This one is soft and lightweight, with a great long length and cute stripes!
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size XS
Color Block Cardigan (color: Z-brown) | Scoop Tank | White Jeans | Chain Mules | Cropped Mom Jeans | Booties | Layered Pendant Necklace | Gold Bead Bracelets | VE x Sheaffer Told Me To Wrap Bracelet
I think I got so excited for this find, I forgot to take the close-up pic! A definite keeper for me, it’s so soft and luxe!! It feels almost like a thick, cashmere blend, in a chic hoodie style. I’m so tempted to get a second color, they’re all so good!
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Small
Luxe Hoodie | Cropped Straight Leg Jeans | Chain Mules | Layered Pendant Necklace | Gold Bead Bracelets | VE x Sheaffer Told Me To Wrap Bracelet
And just like that, I’m anxious for Fall! But really, how cute is this striped sweater?! And those buttons on the neck?! Made of an incredibly soft and thick knit, it has a relaxed fit, and is everything I love in a sweater.
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Small
Button Neck Sweater (color: Apricot) | Cropped Mom Jeans | Booties | Black Jeans | Mules | Layered Pendant Necklace | Gold Bead Bracelets | VE x Sheaffer Told Me To Wrap Bracelet
The same fabric as the luxe hoodie, but in a classic crewneck with a touch of puff at the shoulder for a feminine fit. It easily dresses up with trousers for work, or keep it casual for weekends.
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size XS
Crewneck Sweater | Black Jeans | Sneakers | Distressed High Waist Jeans | Layered Pendant Necklace | Gold Bead Bracelets | VE x Sheaffer Told Me To Wrap Bracelet
And finally, if you’ve followed me through a Fall season before, then chances are you own this sweater… because I’m obsessed!! I wear it all the time, and talk about it even more! I have more colors than I can count, and each is better than the next. I love the oversized fit and super-soft knit. Wear it with leggings or denim, I promise you’ll love it, too!
Fit Tip: It’s generous, I’m wearing a size XS

Accessories //
I’ve been scouting for the cutest new shoes and accessories for our photoshoot, and I hit the jackpot with these! This bag looks so designer, in a soft and supple faux-leather, with great details.
The heels aren’t going to last a lifetime, but the dainty shape and silhouette is so flattering. The nude is the perfect leg-lengthening neutral, and I can’t wait to pair the floral with bright skirts and dresses!
Fit Tip: I sized up half in the heels.
Medium Quilted Crossbody Bag (color: Beige Medium) | Small Quilted Crossbody Bag (color: black Small) | Ankle Strap Heels
So was I right… was this an especially good Haul, or what?! And of course I wore the Easy Does It Wire-Free Bra with just about everything. Don’t we all have at least one of those happy bras by now?!
You might have noticed my new denim, too… I just found these and have reached for them so many times already. They’re a great dark rinse with no distressing, a comfy and flattering fit through the waist (thanks to the Ab-Solution Panel!), and a more modern straight leg with a little flare at the ankle. The length (when unrolled) is perfect for sneakers, flats and mules. They’re true to size, I’m in a 2. Find them HERE.
I honestly love everything I shared (I only share the good stuff!), but if I had to narrow it down, these would be my Top 5:
