Dressing Room Diaries | Black Friday Edition

November 26, 2020

Cheers to Black Friday, friends! Or rather, Black Friday Eve! The overwhelming consensus was to share this post early, so I hope your bellies are full of pie, and your hearts full of love after a day spent with family. We had a fun, pie-filled day, and now I’m ready for a little quiet time… with my laptop, ha!

There are so many amazing sales, it’s hard to know where to start. But stay calm and take deep breaths, you don’t want your clicking-finger to lock up on you… I’ll be your tour guide. Instead of overwhelming you with every last retailer, I’m just sharing the ones I’ll be shopping, along with favorite finds from each.

If you’re new around here, Dressing Room Diaries is where I hunt down some of the cutest new arrivals from my favorite retailers, and review them for you. The shots aren’t good, the lighting is bad (especially now with the time change!), my hair is usually past its expiration… 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.

hi sugarplum dressing room diaries banner

Fit Note: I’m 5’4″-ish, 125 pounds-ish (depending on the week’s pie count), with a slight pear shape. My usual size is an XS/0. 

NORDSTROM // Up to 50% off during their Cyber Week Sale + extra 25% off clearance!

Before I get in to the new finds, did you see all the Uggs on sale HERE, as is tons of Zella HERE! I’m grabbing this plush throw for Mama SP while it’s under $30, and finally ordering these leggings for myself to see what the fuss is about!

Okay, I found a slew of fun new things, starting with this relaxed fit cowlneck sweater. It’s super soft and and a great medium weight. I love the puffed sleeves for a little more style.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing an XS


Slouchy Turtleneck Sweater | White Jeans | Similar Loafers | Ring (25% off!)

 

This chunky knit sweater had me at colorblock! I love the shades of pink and mustard, with a little bit of balloon sleeve. It’s fairly warm and heavy, and I’d likely layer it over a tee for more softness.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing an XS


Colorblock Sweater | Raw Hem Jeans | Similar Booties | Ring (25% off!)

 

How am I just discovering Ugg makes streetwear?! And wowza is it good!! This zip-up jacket is about as soft as they come, with incredible quality and the cutest details. I love the taller neck and hood, with contrasting trim.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing an XS


Zip-Up Sherpa Hoodie | Cropped Jeans | Similar Slip-On Sneakers | Ring (25% off!)

 

We know and love Zella athletic wear, but did you know they also do loungewear?! Yes ma’am, and it’s crazy cozy! This pullover has a tall funnel neck you wear up or rolled down, and is a super soft and warm sherpa. It has a bit of a high-low hem, perfect for leggings, too, and comes in a ton of great colors and patterns.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing an XS (this brand runs large)


Fleece Funnel Neck Pullover | Cropped Jeans | Similar Slip-On Sneakers | Ring (25% off!)

 

Speaking of leggings, I love pairing mine with cardigans and vests, but prefer to keep my bum covered. This tunic tee is a great layering piece that provides full bum-coverage, and comes in black and white. It’s super-soft cotton, but not sheer.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing an XS


Long Sleeved Tee | Leggings | Slip-On Sneakers

Nordstrom literally has 1000s of items up to 50% off… it’s bananas! Here are a few of my favorite sale finds… all deeply discounted!

five. Ugg Booties // six. Adidas Stan Smith Sneakers
seven. Cashmere Sweater // eight. Hanky Panky Undies

AMAZON // Follow The Lightning Deals Happening Every Hour HERE!

There are literally too many sales to keep up, but pretty much everything is on some sort of deal. According to my intel, these fave black jeans will be on sale, as will these perfect lightweight puffers. Here are a few more of my fave recent finds worth checking out. Starting with the cutest holiday graphic tees…

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a small in each of them


left: ‘Merry and Bright’ Tee | White Jeans
middle: ‘Merry’ Tee | Cropped Jeans | Similar Slip-On Sneakers
right: ‘Christmas Cheer’ Tee | High-Rise Cropped Black Jeans | Similar Black Mules

 

Y’all, this is getting borderline embarrassing… but I’m obsessed with this tunic sweater! I needed to see some of the other colors and pattern options in person, and now I’m sitting with five colors and can’t decide which to keep! It’s super soft, forgiving fit, long for the bum, and so cute!

Fit Tip: I’m wearing an XS, but would size down.


Oversized Tunic Sweater | Cropped Jeans | Sneakers | Distressed Jeans | Booties | Gold Bead Bracelets

 

This pullover has Patagonia vibes, and is crazy soft and warm! I love the zipper detail and contrasting inside color. It’s a little longer, so great with leggings, and even has pockets. This one is a Little Miss fave from last year, and she wears the blue one all the time.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a small


Fuzzy Half-Zip Pullover in ‘Pink Single Side’ | Leggings | Slip-On Sneakers | Gold Bead Bracelets

 

This sherpa jacket is a family favorite… Little Miss and I trade colors all the time (she has the camel). We wear it over everything from pajamas to workout wear to jeans. It’s so warm and soft.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a small


Oversized Sherpa Jacket | Cropped Jeans | Sneakers

 

And this popular sherpa jacket is finally back in stock! It comes in the absolute cutest color combos!

Fit Tip: I prefer a size up, I’m wearing a small.


Color Sherpa Jacket | Cropped Jeans | Sneakers

 

Who knew I needed a leopard puffer in my life?! Leopard is the ultimate neutral, you know, so you could pair this with virtually any color and pattern! This is a quality puffer that’s not too heavy or bulky, and packs easily in the attached pouch. It’s a great lightweight top layer for fall or mild winters.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a small


Leopard Puffer Jacket | Cropped Jeans | Similar Slip-On Sneakers

 

It was instant-smitten with these Levi’s, and I’ve worn them on repeat! They’re the same fit and softness of the distressed ones I’ve been wearing all fall, but in a dark, black rinse. They’re super soft and stretchy, and fairly lightweight in a comfortable high-rise fit. And you know I love that kick at the ankle for pairing with flats and sneakers!

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a 27


High-Rise Cropped Black Jeans | Long Sleeved Henley Tee | Similar Black Mules | Gold Bead Bracelets

OLD NAVY // 50% off everything

Old Navy continues to slay the fall and winter styles… I found several fun new things, but this knit blazer is my hands-down fave ON find in months! It’s soft and stretchy, and perfectly relaxed. I love it layered over a hoodie, too!

Fit Tip: I’m wearing an XS, it’s a generous fit.


Plaid Blazer | Scoop Neck Tank | Raw Hem Jeans (60% off!) | Similar Loafers | Heart Necklace | Gold Bead Bracelets

 

Look at Old Navy with the on-trend leopard! And so soft and stretchy, too! You’d never know by the fit and feel that it’s so affordable!

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a small. 


Leopard Sweater | High-Rise Cropped Black Jeans | Similar Black Mules | Gold Bead Bracelets

 

Be still my fair-isle loving heart! This navy sweater is super soft and stretchy, with a cropped fit and blouson sleeve. Wear it alone, or layered over plaid. Super cute under puffers, too. Old Navy makes one of my fave puffer vests…they’re fleece-lined with a tall neck I love.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a small in all pieces. 


Fair Isle Sweater | Plaid Button Down | Puffer Vest | Cropped Jeans | Similar Loafers

 

Here’s another look at the puffer vest…so cute layered over hoodies, flannels, sweaters and more. This plaid is a soft, brushed flannel in a classic fit.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a small in both the shirt and vest.


Plaid Button Down | Puffer Vest | Cropped Jeans | Similar Slip-On Sneakers

 

Back to the leggings talk from before…this is another great long tunic tee for keeping the bum covered! It’s a drapey jersey knit with a scoop neck, and comes in several solids and stripes. I got the solid black too for laying with black leggings.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a small, but could have probably gone with an XS


Striped Tunic Tee | Puffer Vest | Leggings | Slip-On Sneakers | Gold Bead Bracelets

If I didn’t see the label, I could have sworn this teddy bear jacket was J.Crew! Great quality and fun neon color pop.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a small. 


Neon Sherpa Jacket | Cropped Jeans | Similar Slip-On Sneakers

 

Old Navy does sherpa right…this quarter-zip pullover is everything you want it to be…cozy, warm, super soft, and just the right length. At 50% off, how do you not grab multiple colors?!

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a small. 


Sherpa Pullover | Crop Flare Jeans | Similar Slip-On Sneakers

 

How about some darling pajama sets for holiday? I love Old Navy’s brushed flannel bottoms…they’re soft with stretchy waist and drawstring. They also launder really well. I get my kids new prints every year. I paired these with a fun ‘Bring the Joy’ graphic sweatshirt.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a small in both, but could probably do my usual size.


Graphic Sweatshirt | Pajama Pants | Cropped Jeans | Similar Slip-On Sneakers

 

If you prefer more neutral tones, this set couldn’t be any softer or cuter! The pants are a true fleece, so they’re super warm. The top is a stretchy knit waffle, that’s not too sheer.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing wearing small in both. 


Waffle Weave Tee | Leopard Lounge Pants

 

Another pajama pant option…these are a jogger style with elastic at the ankles and a drawstring waist. They’re the same brushed flannel we love, in the cutest holiday plaid print. The sweatshirt is oversized and a little boxy, but with a cute patch embroidery.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a small in both, but could use my usual XS


Graphic Sweatshirt | Plaid Joggers | Puffer Vest | Cropped Jeans | Similar Slip-On Sneakers

J.CREW // 50% off your purchase with code EARLY

J.Crew always nails it in the sweater department, and they’re one of my go-tos this time of year. Starting with this cuter-than-cute leopard option. It’s a tall, but stretchy neck, with an oversized fit and slight high-low hem. It’s crazy warm, and not-at-all itchy. A total keeper for me!

Fit Tip: I’m wearing an XS


Leopard Turtleneck Sweater | Cropped Jeans | Similar Black Mules | Gold Bead Bracelets

 

Here’s the same sweater in the cutest, punchy pink!

Fit Tip: I’m wearing an XS


Turtleneck Sweater | High-Rise Cropped Black Jeans | Leopard Loafers (Also HERE) | Gold Bead Bracelets

Another darling sweater that’s staying with me, this mock neck is made of their softest yarn, and is both warm and cozy. Plus, hello navy stripes!

Fit Tip: I’m wearing an XS


Striped Sweater | Cropped Jeans  Similar Loafers | Gold Bead Bracelets

 

Pink fair isle, what else do you need to know? This crewneck is a medium weight wool blend, so I’d layer it over a tee for more softness.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing an XS


Fair Isle Sweater | Flare Crop Jeans | Similar Loafers | Gold Bead Bracelets

 

Another mock neck in the yummiest soft yarn, this makes a great gift…especially at 50% off!

Fit Tip: I’m wearing an XS


Mock Neck Sweater | Raw Hem Jeans | Leopard Loafers (Also HERE)

 

This classic cable knit has lots of texture, a tall neck, and cute tortoise buttons up the shoulder. I love the oversized fit and subtle colors in the yarn.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing an XS, it runs large.


Button Turtleneck Sweater | Raw Hem Jeans | Similar Loafers

 

This striped sweater is so striking with the bold blue and mixed textures. It’s a fun shape, but I’d layer it over a tee for softness.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing an XS


Striped Sweater | Flare Crop Jeans | Sneakers

J.CREW FACTORY // Extra 60% off clearance with code GIFTY, free shipping on orders $75+, and up to 70% off Winter Faves

Fit Tip: I’m wearing an XS


Shirttail Sweater | High-Rise Cropped Black Jeans | Similar Black Mules | Gold Bead Bracelets

 

This woven blouse has a stretchy smocked neckline and princess sleeves, and is easily dressed up by tucking in jeans or trousers, or worn loose and flowy.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing an XS


Leopard Gathered Neck Blouse | High-Rise Cropped Black Jeans | Similar Black Mules | Gold Bead Bracelets

Dressing Room Diaries

 

 

Dressing Room Diaries | Resort 2020 Collection

January 24, 2020

You guys sure know how to make a girl feel good!! I can not even begin to thank you for all the love and support you gave me, and the Gibson x Hi Sugarplum Resort 2020 Collection this week! I am blown away by your enthusiasm and excitement, and am thrilled you love the pieces as much as I do.

We had an early sell-out, but were able to get more sizes loaded by the afternoon, so if you missed something, be sure to check back! The Gibson team is also already hard at work on re-orders, and we hope to have more coming soon (in new colors and prints, too!). So stay tuned for that! (Find the full Collection, including plus and petite sizes, HERE.)

I’ve shared the full Collection, along with tons of styling combinations, but I know some of you prefer to see the clothes in close-up mirror shots…so today is for you! Inquiring minds also want to know what Mama Sugarplum thinks!! Which pieces she’ll wear, how she’ll wear them, along with her best sizing for each.

She came over to help me with the launch on Tuesday, and it didn’t take much to sweet talk her into playing dress-up with me… she adores the Collection and already owns over half of it! So here’s our new Dressing Room Diaries, Resort Edition! Instead of perfectly styled, I’m showing them in the format you like best… real and raw, with close-up views, styling tips, and real-girl fit. Let’s get to it!

Sidenote: I’m 5’4″ and 120-ish pounds, and usually wear a 0/XS. Mama Sugarplum is 5’1″ with an hourglass figure, and usually wears a small/2p.

 

DRESSES //

Amalfi Print Maxi Dress

The Amalfi Print Maxi Dress was definitely a reader-favorite and the first to sell out! And with good reason…it’s a stunner! More sizes are now available, but going quickly. We’re both wearing petite for a floor-skimming length, and love it with flat sandals or wedges. It’s an incredible dress for day or night, and so cute with a jean jacket if you prefer to keep your arms covered.

Mom loves all three prints, and especially the black for nights out. She loves it with a jean jacket when she wants to feel a little more covered up.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing XS-Petite for closer fit and shorter length, but would recommend regular size if you’re over 5’4″. Mama SP in an XS-Petite.
Undergarment: Completely bra-friendly, I’m a fan of this one, but Mama Sugarplum has a larger chest and prefers this one.

On Me: Amalfi Print Maxi Dress in ‘Siena‘ (Plus size HERE) | Sandals
On Mama Sugarplum: Amalfi Print Maxi Dress in ‘Black‘ (Plus size HERE) | Denim Jacket | Wedge Sandals | Initial Necklace

 

Ravello Linen Fit-and-Flare Dress

The cutest dress in the most flattering fit-and-flare shape (you know it’s my go-to silhouette!)… the Ravello Linen Dress will be your new favorite this Spring and Summer for parties, showers and even Easter. Made of a soft, but sturdy linen blend, it’s trimmed in a chic contrasting embroidery with the cutest back. And of course pockets!

Mom loves it for church, luncheons and already planning on packing it for her upcoming cruise!

Fit Tip: I’m wearing XS-Petite for a closer fit through the torso and shorter length. Mama SP in a regular XS. She likes the extra room through the chest and longer length. Size down one if in-between.
Undergarment: Completely bra-friendly, I’m a fan of this one, but Mama Sugarplum has a larger chest and prefers this one.

Como Knit Drawstring Dress

Every vacation wardrobe needs an easy, comfy dress, and the Como Knit Dress delivers! Made of our incredible super-soft knit, it’s thick and stretchy and the kind of dress you’ll want to throw on everyday. Mom declared it softer than her pajamas, and will wear it all spring and summer with sandals or sneakers. Perfect for all the grandkid’s sporting events she attends, too!

Fit Tip: I’m wearing XS-Petite for a shorter length and closer fit. Mama SP in a regular XS for the knee-length.
Undergarment: Completely bra-friendly, I’m a fan of this one, but Mama Sugarplum has a larger chest and prefers this one.


On Me: Como Knit Dress in ‘Blue Grotto Stripe‘ (Plus size HERE) | Sneakers
On Mama Sugarplum: Como Knit Dress in ‘Rossa‘ (Plus size HERE) | Sandals | Initial Necklace

 

Capri Ruffle Neck Romper

We took our super popular Cavallo Ruffle Neck Dress from the Summer of Color Collection, and turned it into the chicest romper… and we’re obsessed!! The Capri Ruffle Neck Romper has the same gorgeous neckline and stylish bow back as the Cavallo, but now in the comfiest day-to-night romper. The fabric is the same insanely soft and breathable rayon challis we used for the Amalfi Print Maxi Dress, and a wide, smocked waist means it’s extra comfortable around your middle.

Mom doesn’t wear a lot of shorts, but would consider wearing this because of the slightly longer inseam. She’d likely add a jean jacket to feel a little more covered-up overall.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing XS, but size down if you’re in-between. Mama SP in an XS.
Undergarment: Completely bra-friendly, unless you cinch it extra tight, in which case you’ll need a racerback or strapless bra. I’m a fan of the NuBra, but Mama Sugarplum prefers this strapless bra.


On Me: Capri Ruffle Neck Romper in ‘Capri‘ (Plus size HERE) | Sandals
On Mama Sugarplum: Capri Ruffle Neck Romper in ‘Lucca‘ (Plus size HERE)| Sandals | Initial Necklace

 

TOPS & TEES //

Naples Ruffle Top

Now let’s move on to separates… the colors of all of our tops and bottoms are consistent, which means you can mix-and-match them all to your heart’s content! Starting with the Naples Ruffle Top, a gorgeous, flowy top in amazing rayon challis, that can be worn off-the-shoulder, one-shoulder, or as traditional sleeves!

Mom loves that she can wear it on her shoulders as a traditional tee, and I like it sassy on one shoulder. She’ll also wear it with jeans and wedges since it’s a longer length when untucked.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing XS, but would size down one if you’re not busty. Mama SP in an XS.
Undergarment: Depending on how you wear it, you’ll likely need a strapless bra. I’m a fan of the NuBra, but Mama Sugarplum prefers this strapless bra.
Pair it: 
Gorgeous with the Positano Denim Skirt, Portofino Maxi Skirt & Sorrento Pull-On Shorts.

Limone Embroidered Tank

Mama SP is crazy for the soft jersey knit and swingy (forgiving!) shape of the Limone Embroidered Tank. Plus who doesn’t love embroidery!? She’ll wear it mostly untucked and with jeans for an easy and comfortable day style.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing XS. Mama SP in a small.
Undergarment: Completely bra-friendly, I’m a fan of this one, but Mama Sugarplum has a larger chest and prefers this one.
Pair it: Gorgeous with the Positano Denim Skirt, Portofino Maxi Skirt & Sorrento Pull-On Shorts.

I hate to brag, but we both agree we made the perfect tee!! In fact, Mom scooped it up in all three colors! The Mondello Pocket Tee is literally the tee of my dreams. Made of a soft, slub cotton that washes beautifully, it’s not sheer, has a touch of stretch, and the perfect scoop neck to show just enough skin. We gave it a slight drop shoulder and cap sleeve for a flattering and feminine fit. And of course added a pocket!

Mom loves the quality, fit and length…perfect for wearing out or tying. She said it’s not your everyday tee, but a more stylish, polished tee! I couldn’t agree more!

Fit Tip: I’m wearing XS. Mama SP in a small.
Undergarment: Completely bra-friendly, I’m a fan of this one, but Mama Sugarplum has a larger chest and prefers this one. 
Pair it: Gorgeous with the Positano Denim Skirt, Portofino Maxi Skirt & Sorrento Pull-On Shorts.

On Mama Sugarplum: Mondello Pocket Tee in ‘Rossa‘ (Plus size HERE) | Positano Denim Skirt in ‘White‘  | Sneakers | Initial Necklace

Bosa Scoopneck Bodysuit

While Mom won’t likely wear the Bosa Scoopneck Bodysuit on it’s own, she loves it layered under jackets and blazers! It’s not only made of the most incredibly soft and stretchy jersey knit, but it’s completely bra-friendly and wedgie-free! That’s right, we made sure the fit across the bottom was comfortable and stayed put! She also loves how smooth it looks tucked in a skirt (no bunching up like tees).

Fit Tip: I’m wearing XS. Mama SP in a small.
Undergarment: Completely bra-friendly, I’m a fan of this one, but Mama Sugarplum has a larger chest and prefers this one. 
Pair it: Gorgeous with the Positano Denim Skirt, Portofino Maxi Skirt & Sorrento Pull-On Shorts.

SHORTS & SKIRTS //

Sorrento Pull-On Shorts

You can’t have a vacation-ready wardrobe without shorts, and our Sorrento Pull-On Shorts are both chic and easy. They’re a pull-on style with comfortable elastic waist and adjustable drawstring. Of course we added pockets, and since they’re made of my favorite rayon challis fabric, they feel incredible and fit beautifully.

The elastic waist allows mom to pull them down for a more comfortable length. She loves the breezy fit for more casual occasions.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing XS. Mama SP in a small.
Undergarment: Not sheer at all, traditional undies are great. These are pretty much the only ones I wear.
Pair it: Gorgeous with the Naples Ruffle Top, Limone Embroidered Tank, Mondello Pocket Tee & Bosa Scoopneck Bodysuit

On Mama Sugarplum: Sorrento Pull-On Shorts in ‘Leoni‘ | Bosa Scoopneck Bodysuit in ‘Rossa‘ | Denim Jacket | Sandals | Initial Necklace

Positano Denim Skirt

I could not be more excited to introduce our Positano Denim Skirt! I love denim skirts for spring and summer, and this one fits like a dream, and looks amazing with everything from tees and tanks to bodysuits and ruffle tops!

We gave it a fitted waist so there’s not gaping in the back, and added pockets for a flattering fit from the front or back! Side slits mean easy walking, but without worrying about showing too much (back slits can be a bit too revealing), and a touch of stretch keeps it comfortable. Mom loves it as a shorts alternative!

Fit Tip: I’m wearing XS-Petite, but the XS fits great, too, with just a bit more length. Mama SP in a small petite but would prefer regular small for more length. 
Undergarment: Not sheer at all, traditional undies are great, but I’d choose nude for the white skirt. These are pretty much the only ones I wear.
Pair it: Gorgeous with the Naples Ruffle Top, Limone Embroidered Tank, Mondello Pocket Tee & Bosa Scoopneck Bodysuit

Portofino Maxi Skirt

And last, but not least, our favorite of the group…. the Portofino Maxi Skirt! Made of my favorite rayon challis, it twirls and flows like a dream, while the small ruffle detail and tiers give it shape. It’s an easy pull-on style with elastic waist, but also an operating drawstring for a custom fit.

Mom got all the prints and said it will replace capri pants and long shorts for her this spring and summer. The material is so breathable, she’ll stay cool, yet covered! I like how she thinks!

Fit Tip: I’m wearing XS-Petite for a long-midi length, but regular XS fits great and grazes the foot. Mama SP in a regular XS.
Undergarment: Not sheer at all, traditional undies are great. These are pretty much the only ones I wear.
Pair it: Gorgeous with the Naples Ruffle Top, Mondello Pocket Tee & Bosa Scoopneck Bodysuit

And because she’s so cute, here’s a few more pics from our shoot! I seriously don’t know how I’d do these Collections without her! And the way you’ve embraced her makes me happier than you know…so thank you!! She reads every comment and it truly makes her whole day.

I could mix-and-match and style these pieces all day! In fact, you’ll be seeing more of them soon since we’ve got a little getaway booked next month! Which pieces would you like to see styled more ways? I have a live try-on session with everything in my Instagram profile, too. (Look for the circle labeled ‘GxHSP Try On‘.) And I’ll be sharing a try-on with Mom later today, so follow my Instagram Story for that!

With all my heart, thank you for your enthusiasm and genuine support!! The Gibson Team and I work tirelessly to create pieces you’ll look and feel incredible in, and it’s so gratifying when we hear your joy and excitement. You inspire us to continue creating new and exciting Collections, and to raise the bar even more each time!

What pieces did you grab for yourself? Don’t forget many things have been restocked, but if you see a sell-out, keep checking back! And to see more styled shots of the Collection, along with undergarment recommendations for each, click HERE. Happy weekend, lovebugs!

Dressing Room Diaries | Black Friday Edition

November 28, 2019

Cheers to Black Friday, friends! Or rather, Black Friday Eve! The overwhelming consensus was to share this post early, so I hope your bellies are full of pie, and your hearts full of love after a day spent with family. We had a fun, busy day, and now I’m ready for a little quiet time… and of course, tackling my gift list!

There are so many amazing sales, it’s hard to know where to start. But stay calm and take deep breaths, you don’t want your clicking-finger to lock up on you… I’ll be your tour guide. Instead of overwhelming you with every last retailer, I’m just sharing the ones I’ll be shopping, along with favorite finds from each.

If you’re new around here, Dressing Room Diaries is where I hunt down some of the cutest new arrivals from my favorite retailers, and review them for you. The shots aren’t good, the lighting is bad (especially now with the time change!), my hair is usually past its expiration… 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.

hi sugarplum dressing room diaries banner

Fit Note: I’m 5’4″-ish, 120 pounds-ish (depending on the week’s pie count), with a slight pear shape. My usual size is an XS/0. Mama Sugarplum is 5’1″, with an hourglass figure. She’s a small/2p.

Oh yeah, I’ve had a lot of questions about my new phone case… it’s fully customizable with so many fun monogram styles. Find it HERE.

Nordstrom // Get $25-$100 when you spend $125+, plus up to 50% off must-have styles

Before I get in to the new finds, did you see all the Uggs on sale HERE, as is tons of Barefoot Dreams HERE! I’m grabbing this plush throw for Mama SP while it’s only $27, and this special 2 for 1 NeuLash Serum for me!

Okay, I found a slew of fun new things, starting with this adorable colorblock sweater. It’s super-soft with a loose neck, and easily pairs with denim or trousers.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing an XS

This is actually the outfit I wore to the mall, but I don’t know if I’ve ever shared this sweater!! It’s crazy soft, with a fuzzy (non-shedding) texture. I love the range of colors, loose neck, and longer length. It also has fun exposed hem along the side.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a small for oversized fit.


Fuzzy Turtleneck Sweater | Distressed Jeans | Waterproof Booties | Hoop Earrings (25% off with code HELLOYELLOW)

 I’m always a sucker for fair-isle, and these had me swooning. They’re a cotton-blend, so perfect for those of you with wool sensitivities. Plus, the colors and pattern are just too cute. I think the gray one will be my Christmas day pick!

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a small for relaxed fit.


Fair Isle Sweaters | Distressed Jeans | Waterproof Booties | Hoop Earrings (25% off with code HELLOYELLOW)

You’ve seen this tunic sweater already, I’ve worn the black one an obsessive number of times already this season! It’s lightweight and soft, with a relaxed cowl neck and great longer length. Perfect for leggings or jeans, I wear it both out and half-tucked.

These leggings are a thick ponte knit with wide elastic panels for both a comfy fit and tummy control.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing an XS sweater and XS leggings

How fun is this ‘Coffee & Cardio’ crewneck sweatshirt? It’s a thick, traditional sweatshirt material, lined in the softest fleece. Wear it with leggings and jeans, or these fun camo pants! I love the exposed buttons and the print is spot-on.

Fit Tip: I sized up in the sweatshirt to a small. The pants are true, but very little stretch! I’m wearing a 2

Mom loves the sweatshirt for her morning walks, or with jeans and her fave wedge sneakers.

Fit Tip: She’s wearing a small

Okay, those of you who’ve been around for awhile likely remember the Bobeau one-button cardi… we lovingly named it ‘the kitten cardi’ because it felt like hugs from baby kittens. Well, it’s back, but now in a thick and fluffy sherpa-style material!! Seriously the softest thing, and still at an incredible price! You can def wear it out with sneakers, but I’d consider it more of a loungewear piece at home.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing an XS


Drape Front Cardigan | Henley Tee | Dark Jeans | Booties | Multi-Strand Bracelet | Earrings | Lipstick in shade ‘Yu’

Fit Tip: Mama SP in a small

For my office girls, Mom put together this darling combo!! The sweater has a touch of shine for a festive feel, and the plaid blazer has great structure and flattering fit. She paired it with our favorite trousers for a comfy and chic outfit.

Fit Tip: She’s wearing small sweater, 2 blazer and 4p pants.


Striped Sweater | Plaid Blazer | Black Trousers | Loafers

How fun is this polka dot coat for an unexpected statement and pattern to your Winter outfits? The dots are actually raised and the fit is so flattering and feminine. A great coat for dressier styles or workwear, too.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a small

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a small

One of my favorite sales every year, half my wardrobe is J.Crew or J.Crew Factory! I love this soft, brushed plaid in a classic tartan. The ruffled neck makes it easy to dress up, and it’s darling with skirts and trousers, or more casual with puffers. Their quilted vests come in the best colors, and are more chic than sporty.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing XS shirt and vest.


Plaid Button Down | Puffer Vest | Dark Jeans | Snakeskin Loafers | Earrings (25% off with code HELLOYELLOW)

Classic fair isle, this time in shades of camel and blue, perfect for all Winter long. You can’t see in the photo, but some of the white dots actually have little crystals for an added touch! It’s super cute with white jeans, too!

Fit Tip: I’m wearing an XS


Fair Isle Turtleneck Sweater | Dark Jeans | Snakeskin Loafers

Speaking of J.Crew puffers…. how stinking cute are the leopard and plaid?!?! I layered them over the softest yarn crewnecks.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing XS in the sweaters and vests

Dressing Room Diaries, Fall & Winter Style

 

 

Dressing Room Diaries

January 30, 2019

You guys sure know how to make a girl feel good!! I can not even begin to thank you for all the love and support you gave me, and the Gibson x Hi Sugarplum Collection yesterday! I am blown away by your enthusiasm and excitement, and am thrilled you love the pieces as much as I do.

We had an early sell-out, but were able to get most every style fully-restocked by the afternoon. So if you missed something, be sure to check back. The Gibson team is also already hard at work on re-orders, and we hope to have more coming soon (maybe even in new colors and patterns!). So stay tuned for that! (Find the full Collection, including plus and petite sizes, HERE)

Today I’ve got a new Dressing Room Diaries for you…and this one is a little special because I’m sharing all my own pieces (I don’t think I’ll ever get used to saying that!). But instead of perfectly styled, I’m showing them in the format you like best…real and raw, with close-up views, styling tips, and real-girl fit. And of course I brought my darling Mama Sugarplum along for her take. Let’s get to it!

Sidenote: I’m 5’4″ and 120-ish pounds, and usually wear a 0/XS. Mama Sugarplum is 5’1″ with an hourglass figure, and usually wears a small/2p.

 

Scottsdale Striped Tunic

This Resort Collection is created as a capsule wardrobe, so you’ll see a lot of mixing-and-matching of the pieces…starting with the Scottsdale Striped Tunic. Soft and breezy, the lightweight material is perfect for steamy days, and cool nights. It’s long-sleeved with roll-tabs, and front flap pockets. It hits below the hips for a longer, relaxed fit.

Styling Tips:
The length makes it a chic cover-up over swimsuits (shown here)
Half-tucked into jeans or the Cabo Pool Shorts
Wear it open and tied at the waist with shorts or open over the Seaside Jersey Romper (shown here)

Fit Tips:
We’re both wearing regular XS, but size down if you prefer a more traditional shirt fit.


Scottsdale Oversize Button Down Tunic | White Jeans | Wedges | Seaside Soft Jersey Romper | Sandals | Retro Bangle

 

Carmel Halter Top

The perfect Summer top for day or night. It has a true halter neckline, with adjustable tie to make the v-neck as high or low as your sass-meter prefers. It has a high-low shirttail hem, and fully covers the bum. It comes in vibrant prints and a gorgeous pink.

Styling Tips:
Fully-tucked in the Sedona Wide Leg Pants for a chic & comfy look. (shown here)
Half-tucked with jeans for day or night. Just swap out sandals for wedges and add punchy jewels to dress it up. (shown here)
Paired with cut-offs for a fun casual, breezy style
Wear it with white jeans, and add a jean jacket for an extra layer of style.

Fit Tip:
We’re both wearing an XS, and the adjustable tie allows for a more custom fit at the chest.

Carmel V-Neck Top |  Sedona Wide Leg Ankle Pants | White Jeans | Sandals | Earrings | Ring | Retro Bangle

 

Santa Fe Ric Rac Top

Made of textured, gauzy cotton, it’s hard to imagine a softer, lighter Summer top. The colors make it festive and the ruffles keep it flirty. The elastic is soft and stretchy, and holds at the arm or shoulder. Mom prefers it a little higher on her shoulder for an exaggerated boatneck style.

Styling Tips:
Fully-tucked in the Sedona Wide Leg Pants for a chic & comfy look. Cute with flat sandals or wedges. (shown here)
Thanks to side slits, it’s cute untucked with cropped pants or slim shorts.
Half-tuck it with skinny jeans or jean skirt and wedges for a casual night out. (shown here)

Fit Tip: 
We’re both wearing XS. The elastic is stretchy and allows for more room in the chest.

Santa Fe Rickrack Top | White Jeans | Sandals | Earrings | Ring | Retro Bangle

 

Savannah Embroidered Tee

Your favorite t-shirt, but with oodles of style and personality! The body is a soft, relaxed, slub cotton, with a beautifully-sewn embroidery in contrasting trim. A button closure gives it an elevated style. It comes in this blue and black, plus a darling pink and vibrant multi-color.

Styling Tips:
With cropped pants and wedges. Add a jean jacket, too!
Half-tucked into jeans or the Cabo Pool Shorts  (shown here)
Fully-tucked in the Sedona Wide Leg Pants for a chic & comfy look. (shown here)

Fit Tip:
We’re both wearing XS, but it’s a generous fit, so you might consider sizing down depending the fit you prefer.

Savannah Embroidered Tee | White Jeans | Sandals | Earrings | Ring | Retro Bangle

 

Malibu Embroidered Racerback Tank

If I were a tank, I’d be this tank. Super soft and flattering fit, with a statement back. The embroidery panel is beautifully sewn in the best contrasting color for a chic or flirty combo…your pick!

Styling Tips:
Fully-tucked in the Sedona Wide Leg Pants for a chic & comfy look. (shown here)
Fully-tucked into shorts or jean skirt for a casual day style.

Fit Tip:
We’re both wearing XS, but if you’re small-chested, you might size down for smaller arm holes.

Malibu Embroidered Racerback Tank | Sedona Wide Leg Ankle Pants | White Jeans | Sandals | Wedges | Earrings | Ring | Cuff

Malibu Embroidered Racerback Tank | Sedona Wide Leg Ankle Pants | White Jeans | Sandals | Wedges | Earrings | Ring | Retro Bangle

 

Cabo Pool Shorts

Easy-to-wear, pull-on elastic shorts in a lightweight, breezy material. They hang well, without hugging the body. Adjust the fit with a cute drawstring, and wear them high on your waist or lower on the hips. And yes, there’s pockets!

Styling Tips:
Pair them with the Savannah Embroidered Tee and sandals for a cute day look. (shown here)
Layer the Summerland Pocket Tank and a jean jacket for an easy transitional style.

Fit Tip:
We’re both wearing XS, but size up if you’re pear-shaped.

Summerland Pocket Tank

I’m a sucker for basic tanks in the steamy months, but can never find exactly what I want!! Until now! This cotton is soft with just a touch of drape so it hugs the body, but doesn’t wrap it. It scoops in the front and back, showing just enough skin. And we even threw in a little pocket for extra style!

Styling Tips:
Fully-tucked in the Sedona Wide Leg Pants for a chic & comfy look. (shown here)
Layered under the Scottsdale Striped Tunic, tied at the waist, or a jean jacket/cardi. (shown here)
Thrown on with the Cabo Pool Shorts and flip flops for easy Summer style.  (shown here)

Fit Tip:
We’re both wearing XS, but if you’re small-chested I’d recommend sizing down.

Seaside Soft Jersey Romper

Softer than your favorite pajamas, this terry cotton feels like heaven! It’s soft and stretchy, without being clingy. It’s relaxed through the body, and the elastic waist and drawstring allow you to wear it on your natural waist or pulled lower.

Styling Tips:
Tie the Scottsdale Tunic or a jean jacket over for fun layers. (shown here)
Wear it over your swimsuit for a pool to lunch cover-up. (shown here)
Pack it as your head-to-coffee or wallowing-on-the patio loungewear on vacation!

Fit Tips:
We’re both wearing XS, but I’d recommend sizing down if you’re small-chested.

Laguna Jersey Ruffle Tank Dress

I’m most excited for you to receive this dress…the luxe material is just impossible to describe, or deny! Everyone I know just melts the moment they touch it. Now imagine being able to wear it! The racerback fit is fun, and the ruffles so flirty. It skims the body without clinging, and is a great knee-length.

Styling Tips:
Pair it with wedges and a punchy bag for a sassy day out. (shown here)
Add a jean jacket and sneakers for a sporty look.
Throw it over your swimsuit for a pool to lunch outfit.

Fit Tip:
We’re both wearing XS, but size down for a closer fit, or choose petite for shorter length.

Catalina Ruffle Romper

A great alternative to a dress, this flirty ruffle-trim romper easily dresses up for Day or Night. The loose sleeves and legs move freely, and the elastic waist creates a comfy and flattering silhouette. We added a snap closure at the chest, removable tie belt, and even pockets!

Style Tips:
Dress it up with heels and statement jewels for date night.
Go casual with flat sandals and a woven tote. (shown here)
Meet the girls for lunch in wedges and oversized sunglasses. (shown here)

Fit Tip:
We’re both wearing XS, but I’d recommend sizing down one.

Naples Halter Dress

No style is more forgiving that a Summer swing dress! Go ahead and eat dessert, nothing is showing in this cutie! The halter gives you an adjustable fit, with long ties in the back for extra movement.

Styling Tips:
With strappy heels, clutch and statement jewels for date night. (shown here)
Flat sandals and a woven bag make it flirty and functional for day. (shown here)
Go with something in-between with wedges and a straw crossbody. (shown here)

Sizing Tip:
We’re both wearing XS, and it’s true to size. Petite sizing is available if you prefer shorter length.

Palm Springs Maxi Dress

I described my dream maxi dress, and Gibson delivered! Racerback, v-neck, full skirt, ankle length and pockets!! Plus, it’s fully-lined for a flowy, airy fit. It’s everything Summer nights are meant to be!

Styling Tips:
Sass it up with wedges and a clutch. Add a jean jacket for an extra layer of style. (shown here)
Keep it a little boho with flat sandals and a straw bag
Go chic with strappy flat sandals and oversized statement jewels. (shown here)
Wander barefoot down the beach, living your best vacation life!

Fit Tip:
We’re both wearing XS, but if you’re busty you’ll want to size up one.

I could mix-and-match and style these pieces forever! In fact, you’ll be seeing more of them soon since we’ve got a little getaway scheduled next month! I’ve been dreaming of outfit combinations with them for months, and have a lot to share! Which pieces would you like to see styled more ways? I have a live try-on session with everything in my Instagram profile, too. (Look for the circle labeled ‘GxHSP Try On‘.)

What pieces did you grab for yourself? Don’t forget everything has been restocked, but if you see a sell-out, keep checking…we’re working hard to keep up with the demand! With all my heart, thank you for your enthusiasm and genuine support!!
