Dressing Room Diaries

Happy Friday, friends, and cheers to the weekend! What plans do you have? My friend Suzie is in town for a few days, and I’m so looking forward to some much-needed girlfriend time with her!

We don’t have any big plans yet, but I’m sure whatever it is will involve Mexican food and makeup!

Today I’ve got an extra-special Dressing Room Diaries for you! As you know, I’m not getting around as much right now (that whole broken ankle thing), so the darlings Mama Sugarplum and Suzie are sharing some of my top picks from recent new arrivals with you!

So not only do I have great new styles for the end of summer and transitioning to early days of fall, but you get to see them on beautiful new faces and body types!

It’s a range of price points from a mix of retailers, and even some of my favorite small shops I know you’ll love! So let’s get started…

Dresses //

When I showed mom the styles I’d selected, it was no surprise she went straight to this dress! The colors and print are just too cute, and the soft material is light and drapey. It has an easy-to-wear shape, and is perfect with sandals or sneakers now, and slides or booties later.

Our favorite feminine-fit denim jacket is finally back-in-stock, too… and both pieces are 15% off with code CASSIE15!

Fit Tip: She’s wearing a size Small dress and XS jacket.

Paisley Tassel Dress (code CASSIE15) | Jean Jacket (code CASSIE15) | Miller Sandals

Definitely one of her faves… in fact, she already called ‘dibs’ on it when I’m ready to let it go (which might not be ever!!). I’m crazy for the deep green, batik print and crochet details! It’s such an easy fit, with full sleeves you can wear long or pushed up. Darling with booties or sneakers, too.

Fit Tip: She’s wearing a size Small dress.

Scroll Print Dress (code CASSIE15) | Miller Sandals

Is Suzie the picture of fall perfection, or what?! She was twirling and dancing the moment she slipped this dress on, which is always the sure-fire way of knowing you love it! Made of a woven material, the body is fully-lined, with a flattering (and comfy!) smocked waist and tiered skirt. The sleeves are sheer and the v-neck falls to the perfect, most flattering (and bra-friendly!) spot. Perfect for family fall photos!

Fit Tip: Dress is true-to-size, Suz is wearing a size Medium.

Floral Tiered Chiffon Dress (code SUGARPLUM10) | Similar Suede Booties

An easy throw-on-and-go fall dress, this one is soft and floaty, with a fun asymmetrical hem and ruffled neckline. Oh, and did we mention pockets?! Add a denim jacket and ankle booties, and it’s transitioning right with you.

Fit Tip: This dress runs a touch big, she sized down to a Small.

Sleeveless Ruffle Dress | Golden Goose Sneakers

Hello, gorgeous! This satiny dress with beautiful colors and print is so lovely for a range of occasions this season. It has full sleeves, a flattering neckline, belted waist, and easily dresses up or down.

Fit Tip: She’s wearing a size XS dress.

Midi Tie Waist Dress (code CASSIE15) | Miller Sandals

Oops, accidentally caught mom with her eyes closed on this one… but she’s still as darling as ever in this combo! I shared this dress (and top!) HERE, but she couldn’t wait to try it for herself. It’s just such a darling dress, with a fun shape and sleeve. She paired it with her favorite denim jacket for more arm coverage.

Fit Tip: She’s wearing a size Small dress and XS jacket.

Drop Waist Dress (code CASSIE15) | Jean Jacket (code CASSIE15) | Miller Sandals

After months of waiting, my Faherty code is finally back for 20% off! To celebrate, I chose a few styles to share, including this cute (and oh-so-cozy!) shirtdress.

Fit Tip: I’m in a size Small, but would prefer a size XS.

Sweater Shirtdress (code SUGARPLUM20) | Reversible Belt | Earrings | Pearl Toggle Necklace | Cuff Bracelet

Suzie loved this dress so much, she ditched what she packed and wore it to her Flybrow pop-up yesterday! She, of course, had a ton of compliments… it’s simply adorable! Made of a cotton poplin, it’s crisp and structured, with the cutest puffed sleeves and flattering belted waist.

Fit Tip: Size down if in-between or you’re small in the waist, Suzie is wearing a size Small dress.

Floral Puff Sleeve Dress (code SUGARPLUM10) | Golden Goose Sneakers

Is there anything more ‘Fall style’ than a cozy sweater dress?! I shared this dress in olive HERE, and we’re both crazy for the deep plum, too. It’s super soft and stretchy, with a relaxed fit and turtleneck. It’s super cute belted and layered with a utility jacket, too.

Fit Tip: True-to-size, but size down if you prefer a more fitted look. Suzie is wearing a size Medium dress.

Sweater Dress (code SUGARPLUM10) | Similar Suede Booties

This dress is fall-perfection, with the best warm colors for the season. Wear it belted or loose, it’s fully lined with a flared sleeve. I’ll wear it with booties or knee boots.

Fit Tip: She’s wearing a size Small dress.

Fall Florals Tie Waist Dress (code CASSIE15) | Miller Sandals

Could my mom BE any cuter?! Shades of green are everywhere this Fall, and this one is such a gorgeous and flattering shade! This one has a smocked waist and tiered skirt that’s forgiving and flirty. Pull the sleeves up or wear them long, and the tie at the neck can be worn open, as well.

Fit Tip: She’s wearing a size Small dress.

Floral Tie Neck Dress (code CASSIE15) | Miller Sandals | Woven Leather Tote Bag

Mom is positively glowing in this gorgeous maxi dress! I love the shades of lilac and pink, plus the ruffled details. It’s a fully lined chiffon, with a comfy smocked waist… so cute dressed up or styled for every day with our favorite jean jacket.

Fit Tip: She’s wearing a size XS dress and jacket.

Floral Maxi Dress (code CASSIE15) | Jean Jacket (code CASSIE15) | Miller Sandals

I think you can tell by her smile how much she loves this bold dress! Made of a crisp cotton poplin, it has a statement sleeve, fun print, and mix of stunning colors! The smocked waist gives it a comfy fit, and it even has pockets.

Fit Tip: She’s wearing a size XS dress.

A-Line Maxi Dress (code CASSIE15) | Miller Sandals

Tops & Shirts //

I love this top so much I’ve already worn it twice…. this week! The print, the colors, the lightweight cotton and relaxed fit… I love it all! The sleeves are sheer, but the body is fully lined.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Small top and size 2 jeans.

Abstract Print Blouse (code SUGARPLUM10) | Reversible Belt | Cropped Flare Jeans (size 2) | Earrings | Pearl Toggle Necklace | Cuff Bracelet

This silky top has a fun sporty touch with the vibrant stripe, so fun against the colorful abstract print. The neck is smocked and stretchy, with a flutter sleeve. Pair it with trousers or jeans.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Small top.

Floral Mock Neck Blouse (code CASSIE15) | Cropped Flare Jeans (size 2) | Earrings | Cuff Bracelet

CUUUUTTTEEEEE alert… this top is as cute as they come, with fun brights and bold floral print. It’s a lightweight cotton, with a loose, a-line shape and balloon sleeves. Definitely a top find this month!

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Small top.

Floral Henley Blouse (code CASSIE15) | Cropped Flare Jeans (size 2) | Woven Leather Tote Bag | Headband (code CASSIE15) | Earrings | Cuff Bracelet

This sweater top will be on repeat, for sure… it’s super soft and stretchy, with darling rainbow poms. The back is solid white, and it has a touch of a cropped fit… would be darling with skirts and trousers, too.

Fit Tip: Runs a little small, I’m in a size Small top.

Pom Sweater (code CASSIE15) | Cropped Flare Jeans (size 2) | Earrings | Cuff Bracelet

I love this unexpected combo of rust and lilac, so fresh for fall! Plus, it’s ribbed and so stretchy, in a soft cotton knit with operational henley buttons.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Small top.

Ribbed Henley Sweater Top (code SUGARPLUM20) | Cropped Flare Jeans (size 2 (size 2) | Earrings | Pearl Toggle Necklace | Cuff Bracelet

My mom looks like a freaking teenager in this combo!! The same print as the bold maxi dress above, but in a crisp cotton top with flutter sleeves and ruffled neckline. The jeans are such a classic fit, with a touch of ankle flare. They’re soft and stretchy, for a comfy and flattering fit.

And the sneakers? She was resistant to them, but finally admitted they were pretty darn cute!

Fit Tip: She’s wearing a size XS top and size 2 jeans.

Floral Mock Neck Blouse (code CASSIE15) | Cropped Flare Jeans | Golden Goose Sneakers

When chic meets comfy! I loved this combo so much, I wore it to dinner the other night. The top is a lightweight sweater, with fun stripes and flutter sleeves. These pants became instant-faves when I shared them HERE.

Fit Tip: She’s wearing a size Small pant and XS top.

Ruffle Sweater Top (code CASSIE15) | Wide Leg Ponte Pant (code SUGARPLUM10) | Black Slide Sandals | Woven Leather Tote Bag

Sweaters //

My favorite material for sweaters… this cozy boucle is as soft as it is stretchy. You could seriously wear it with pajamas! I love the shades of blue and pink together, for a sporty, yet preppy combo. I’ll layer it over a white collared shirt when the weather cools a bit more.

Fit Tip: It’s a relaxed, oversized fit, I’m in a size Small sweater.

Striped Mock Neck Sweater (code SUGARPLUM10) | White Raw Hem Jeans (size 25) | Earrings | Pearl Toggle Necklace | Cuff Bracelet

Suzie instantly declared this her new ‘wear everywhere’ cardigan! So soft and cozy, you’ll pair it with joggers and pajamas, but so chic with denim, too. The sleeves and pockets have a cable pattern, for a fun mixed texture. Plus a cute hood!

Fit Tip: Sweater and tee are a relaxed fit, she’s wearing a size Small in both.

Essential Tee (code SUGARPLUM10) | Open Front Cardigan (code SUGARPLUM10) | Golden Goose Sneakers

A classic cotton cable knit cardigan, this boxy fit will never go out of style. Layer it over dresses, style it with skirts, or pair with your fave white tee and jeans.

Fit Tip: I’m in a size Small, but would prefer a size XS.

Cotton Cableknit Cardigan (code: SUGARPLUM20) | Crewneck Tee | Cropped Flare Jeans (size 2) | Headband (code CASSIE15) | Reversible Belt | Earrings | Pearl Toggle Necklace | Cuff Bracelet

Everyone’s favorite blazer, and a Sugarplum Favorite Thing year after year… the Gibsonlook Notch Collar Blazer in this gorgeous new hue. I love how different it styles depending on the size… oftentimes I size down for a shrunken fit, but Suzie sized up for a boyfriend fit. LOVE!

Fit Tip: Suzie typically wears a size Medium in this blazer, but wanted a boyfriend look, so sized up to a Large. So chic!

Notch Collar Blazer (code SUGARPLUM10) | Essential Tee (code SUGARPLUM10) | Similar Suede Booties

Perfect for the long football season ahead, wear this Game Day sweatshirt not matter who’s playing!

Fit Tip: It’s an oversized fit, I’m in a size Small.

Game Day Crewneck (code SUGARPLUM10) | Cropped Flare Jeans (size 2) | Earrings | Pearl Toggle Necklace | Cuff Bracelet

Cardigan blazers are everywhere this season… and this one is as chic as they come! Super soft, in a gorgeous shade of camel, it has a flat collar and longer length. Layer it over fall tops, or keep it simple with a white tee.

Fit Tip: It runs large, so I’d size down. She’s in a size XS.

Floral Tie Neck Blouse (code SUGARPLUM10) | Coatigan (code SUGARPLUM10) | Cropped Flare Jeans | Chain Slide Mules

Sets //

One of my favorite trends right now… chic sets! Even better when they’re comfy beyond words!! This combo is inspired by the popular Spanx AirEssentials, but for half the price. (It’s a little lighter weight than the Spanx, but not thin!)

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Small in both the pullover and pants.
