Happy Friday, friends, and cheers to the weekend! My heart is still so full from Celebrating Teachers, and I loved how the post lifted you up, too! If you missed the incredible women in our ‘Season of Cheer’ Collection, you can catch that HERE.
This week we also revealed the initial designs for the Sugar Shack Game Room HERE, behind the scenes of our latest Collection shoot HERE, plus a new (to me) brand crush that I’m clearly late to the party!! Turns out, tons of you have been crushing Vuori for years! See why HERE.
Today I’ve got an all new Dressing Room Diaries, chock full of the cutest new arrivals for Fall and Winter! It’s a mix of retailers from Nordstrom to J.Crew to Walmart, and even a few new small shops I know you’ll love! My job is to find the cutest things, at the best prices, and I think you’ll love these!
You know the drill with Dressing Room Diaries… the shots aren’t good, the lighting is bad, and I’m in desperate need of a hairbrush. But it’s real life, real girl, real clothes… and hopefully helpful for you to see them this way, instead of perfectly styled on a model. So let’s get started!
Fit Note: I’m 5’4″-ish, 125 pounds-ish, with a slight pear shape. My usual size is XS/2.Â
Sweaters //
This sweater hooked me by the pink stripes with contrasting orange… plus the cozy, soft material. I love the oversized fit and side slit, but do wish the cuffs were a little tighter. But I’m not a fan of a bell sleeve.
Fit Tip: I’m wearing an XS

I may not love bell sleeves, but I adore a statement shoulder! Instantly smitten with this sweater… it’s the boldest pink with a waffle texture, plus the cutest puff shoulders! It’s on the cropped side, so best paired with high-waisted jeans and trousers.
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a small.
Puff Sleeve Sweater (Use code CASSIE15 to save 15%!) | Black Jeans | Mules | Wrap Bracelet
Every closet needs a classic black sweater, and this one could not be softer. I love the crewneck and relaxed fit, perfect for wearing tucked in or out. It’s extra stretchy, too, for a comfy fit.
Fit Tip: It’s oversized, I’m in an XS
Crew Neck Sweater with:
Left: White Jeans | Chain Mules (Also HERE) | Wrap Bracelet
Right: Black Jeans | Mules | Wrap Bracelet | Tote Bag (Use code CASSIE15 to save 15%!) | Initial Necklace
This one had me at colorblock! Throw pink and camel in the mix, and I’m on board! Made of 100% cotton, it’s structured with a mock neck and button front.
Fit Tip: I’m wearing an XS, but without any stretch it felt a tad tight.
Color Block Sweater | Chew Hem Jeans | Chain Mules (Also HERE)
Raise your hand if you live for soft, stretchy, oversized sweaters in November and December! #me I found several great options, including this colorblock cutie. It comes in a range of color combos, some bright and others more neutral. I love the relaxed fit, too.
Fit Tip: It runs oversized, I’m in an XS
Dolman Slouchy Sweater | High Waist Crop Jeans | Chain Mules (Also HERE) | Wrap Bracelet
A similar sweater, this one with a taller mock neck. Super soft and cozy, in tons of fun colors.
Fit Tip: I’m wearing an XS
Funnel Neck Sweater | Black Jeans | Mules | Wrap Bracelet
Shirts & Tops //
Classic plaid in a heavy duty cotton flannel. I love the shades of blue and its structure (perfect for layering under sweaters and jackets), but it’s a little heavy for everyday wear in the South.
Fit Tip: I’m wearing an XS
Plaid Flannel (30% off!) | Distressed Straight Leg Jeans (Use code FF20 to save 20%!) | Sneakers | Wrap Bracelet
A classic chambray is perfect for year-round, and especially cute layered in Fall and Winter! This one has a feminine fit, and is a perfect weight for wearing alone or layered. I paired it with a plaid skirt and black jeans, but love it under sweaters and puffer vests, too.
These heels are a great find, too… comfy height in a sexy shape. The striped bag can be carried as a crossbody, or remove the strap for a chic clutch.
Fit Tip: I’m wearing XS shirt and 0 skirt. Heels are true to size.
Chambray Button Down with:
Left: Plaid Skirt | Black Pumps | Wrap Bracelet // Right: Black Jeans | Booties (Very Similar HERE) | Foldover Crossbody
Oh hey, Holiday! Of course I’m partial to our ‘Season of Cheer’ pieces (found HERE), but if you’re looking for some sparkle I love this sequin halter! Gorgeous champagne gold that’s the perfect hue, in a flattering halter neckline with tie at the neck. Wear it tucked or loose. I’ve had these jeans for years, too… they’re magic at elongating the leg!
Fit Tip: I’m wearing an XS top and size 0 jeans.

Pullovers //
Clearly I had cozy on the mind, because we’ve got a jackpot of comfy pullovers this month! Starting with this darling pink color block pullover in the softest sherpa fleece and quarter zip. You’ll never guess the price tag or where it’s from!!
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a small
Quarter-Zip Pullover | Distressed Straight Leg Jeans (Use code FF20 to save 20%!) | Sneakers (37% off!) | Wrap Bracelet
This fleece is super soft, with a cute quilted top and asymmetrical collar. Even better is it’s long enough for leggings!! (Cover your lady bits, ladies) It comes in a slew of bright and bold colors, too, but I was drawn to these neutrals. The faux-leather leggings are an old Amazon find, and truly just as good, but more comfortable, than Spanx!
Fit Tip: I sized up to a small pullover for length, and small leggings.
Quilted Pullover | Faux Leather Leggings | Sneakers (37% off!) | Wrap Bracelet
Remember your favorite teddy bear growing up… the one you used as a pillow (and drooled on)… this pullover is made of that same fluffy, super soft material. It’s warm and cozy and super cute with the contrasting zipper. Neutral colors available, too.
Fit Tip: I’m wearing an XS
Sherpa Pullover | Distressed Straight Leg Jeans (Use code FF20 to save 20%!) | Sneakers
Like your favorite sweatshirt, but kicked up a notch! This lightweight pullover is lined in a soft, fuzzy fleece, with a relaxed fit and cute asymmetrical collar. The buttons are operational, so you can wear it open or closed.
Fit Tip: I’m in an XS, but prefer more room from a small.
Button Neck Sweatshirt (Extra 50% off!) | High Waist Crop Jeans | Chain Mules (Also HERE) | Wrap Bracelet
This crewneck sweatshirt has a cute ‘Love’ graphic and relaxed fit. It has the weight and structure of old-school sweatshirts, with a terrycloth lining. I layered it over chambray for a little more style.
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a small for a relaxed fit.
Love Crew Neck | Chambray Button Down | Distressed Straight Leg Jeans (Use code FF20 to save 20%!) | Sneakers | Wrap Bracelet
More graphic pullovers, these perfect for the holiday! Both are lightweight and soft, with sequin or ribbon detail.
Fit Tip: They run small, size up for more relaxed fit. I’m in a small in both.
Joy Sweatshirt | Merry Merry Sweatshirt | Chew Hem Jeans
Jackets & Vests //
Hello Moto! This classic Moto jacket is a little bit edgy and a lot chic! Made of a sturdy cotton knit, it’s comfy for all-day wear. Dress it up or down, it’s the perfect layer for jeans, skirts, or dresses. It comes in several colors, too.
Fit Tip: I’m wearing an XS

With November almost here, it’s finally puffer season!! My favorite layering piece, I’m a sucker for puffers over sweaters, flannels, gingham, hoodies, and more! These are some of my favorites, with a great fit and dressier details. I love the contrasting trim and front pockets for more style.
Fit Tip: I’m wearing an XS
Crew Neck Sweater | Leopard Vest | Distressed Straight Leg Jeans (Use code FF20 to save 20%!) | Mules | Wrap Bracelet
Y’all… can we pause a moment for this pink coat! Soft and well made, in a great longer length and perfect shade of pink… and under $50! My only wish is that it came in XS!
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a small, but would rather my usual XS… so true to size.
Long Pea Coat | Crew Neck Sweater | Distressed Straight Leg Jeans (Use code FF20 to save 20%!) | Booties (Very Similar HERE) | Rainbow Pom Beanie
This shacket is more jacket than shirt… in a heavy, warm flannel and great, classic plaid. I love the fitted cuff so it doesn’t feel overpowering or sloppy. It’s long enough for leggings, as well.
Fit Tip: I’m wearing an XS
Plaid Shacket | Henley Tee (Use code SUGARPLUM15 to save 15% on both!) | Distressed Straight Leg Jeans (Use code FF20 to save 20%!) | Booties (Very Similar HERE) | Wrap Bracelet
I’m ready for Fall hikes in this fun sherpa vest!! The color blocking and contrasting trim are too cute, but it’s also reversible! A great medium weight for actually staying warm, and lots of usable pockets.
Fit Tip: I’m wearing an XS.
Sherpa Vest | Hoodie | Chew Hem Jeans | Sneakers
Doesn’t this puffer look so vintage?! I love the throwback vibes, and the colors are a fresh new combo for this time of year. It’s warm with a great fit, and slightly longer in the back.
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a small, but I always size up in jackets for layering over sweaters.Â
Puffer Jacket | Chew Hem Jeans | Sneakers
Dresses //
Several of the dresses I ordered disappointed… but this one was a home run! So flirty and comfy, with sheer sleeves and smocked waist. It’s ruffled at the collar and cuffs, and can be pulled down at the waist for more length.
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a small, size up half in the sandals

Definitely found some darling accessories this month… including this preppy clutch, sassy heels, and colorful beanies!

Friends have been raving about neoprene bags for years, and now I get the hype! They are so sturdy, but wipe completely clean! These hold a ton with several inside pockets, and also include a separate pouch. Which color is your fave?

So many fun finds this month, right? Obviously these stretchy, cropped jeans have been on repeat, along with my go-to sneakers (now on sale!)Â 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:
