My Size Reference: I’m short (5’1) and I typically wear size 0P/25 jeans, XSP/XS in tops and dresses.
Ali-Shaun Size Reference: She’s taller (5’4), and usually wears a size 8-10 in jeans, and Medium/Medium Petite or size 8 in tops and dresses.
DRESSES
Rusched Dress • Heels • Necklace • Watch Band • Ring
Here’s your next little black dress in a gorgeous burgundy (but it also comes in black). All that ruching adds to the figure flattering and the shorter length is balanced with the high neckline – also great for showing off a necklace. Under $50!
Dress Fit: I’m wearing an XS
Heels: TTS
Dress • Heels • Necklace • Watch Band • Ring
Now for the perfect LBD! It’s by French Connection and has a great weight to it with the structured style and fun flair shoulders. You could dress this up for a wedding or evening party and it’s also great for date night.
Dress Fit: I’m wearing an XS
Heels: TTS
Dress • Booties • Necklace • Watch Band • Ring
If you love a Fall dress, this one is so pretty and figure flattering with the blouse style and smocked waist. It looks great with heels, booties, tall boots and also tights when it gets cold. A faux leather jacket will also compliment this dress.
Dress Fit: I’m wearing an XS
Booties: TTS
Dress • Booties • Necklace • Watch Band • Ring
Top • Skirt • Necklace • Watch Band • Ring
I tried on the faux leather midi skirt and it felt so good on! I felt like it was a little long on me, but nothing an alteration couldn’t fix.
Top: I am wearing an XS
Skirt: I’m wearing an XS
Ali-Shaun dressed the skirt down with her fave sneaks and simple black sweater.
Sweater: Ali-Shaun is wearing a size Medium

This dress is so Ali-Shaun! It’s her perfect color and she felt great in it. Since she works in an office and often dines with associates, she’s always looking for outfits that can translate from work to dinner.

Boots: TTS
ACTIVEWEAR
Megan Tank • Leggings • Nikes | Ali-Shaun Tee • Joggers • OnCloud Sneakers
How fun is that pattern on these Zella leggings?! They’ve got visual interest, but aren’t too crazy. They have a high waist and are supposed to be ankle length, but I had to roll them under to show some ankle.
The tank is a great basic workout tank with a mesh racerback panel in the back.
Ali-Shaun said she was surprised she liked these joggers, but the lightweight knit fabric felt really comfortable on. She loved the workout top, but ended up buying the one with the open back.
Tank: I am wearing a size XS
Leggings: I am wearing a size XS

I was happy to see this bright pink pullover at my store. It’s a crop length that looks great with leggings and the front zip is a sporty touch.
Top Fit: I’m wearing size Small because they didn’t have an XS at my store, but it fit fine
This workout top has a cute cutout in the back that gives it a little something extra! The leggings are by Alo and have a high waist and smooth seaming with moisture wicking so you don’t get chafed while exercising. Ali-Shaun loved the color, but said they felt tight on.

Eternal Optimist #raiseshand I’m so glad I found these pink shorts by Zella. They have a built-in liner, side slits and a stretchy elastic waist. If pink isn’t your color, they also come in darks.
Tank: I am wearing a size XS
Shorts: I am wearing a size XS
Zella’s long sleeve knit tees are in heavy rotation in my closet, but this style with the hoodie and thumb holes is new. It comes in four colors, the pale pink I’m wearing, navy, grey and black.
Top Fit : I’m wearing XS, and it’s a bit oversized
Megan Hooded Anorak• Shorts • Nikes | Ali-Shaun Hooded Anorak• Leggings • OnCloud Sneakers
We probably needed to size down in this jacket because we didn’t feel it was that flattering on. But, I’ve seen it look great on other people, so maybe try sizing down so that it’s not so fluffy! It is a nice lightweight fabric and pretty cool how you can cinch the waist.
Hooded Anorak Fit: I am wearing a size XS
Shorts: I am wearing a size XS

Such a cool pullover in a quilted texture jacquard knit with a funnel neck and pockets. It would look great with legging

PAJAMAS & LOUNGE
Our favorite part! Soft, cozy pajamas! Neither one of us wanted to take these off! I just wish they weren’t so long on me. Under $50!
I am wearing a size XS in the pajamas
Ali-Shaun is wearing a size Medium in the pajamas
Slippers: TTS
Oh yes! The UGG slippers in a cute cross style with all the fun furriness we love from UGG. They’re also quite durable on the bottom.
Fit TTS
Here’s the sister pair to the pants pajamas. Equally as soft and comfy, but in shorts and a short sleeve top. This new pattern is too cute! $40!
I am wearing a size XS in the pajamas
Slippers: TTS
So many fun colors to choose from! These are the slippers I wear at my house and they are equal parts cozy and sturdy. A Must Have if you ask me!
Fit TTS, they may feel a little snug at first, but they stretch with wear
SHOES
I’m smitten with this sandal and got it in the nude color. It’s really pretty and comfortable on. Will go with so many things in your wardrobe. And, they also come in a gorgeous sage.
I got these sporty sneakers to wear when I don’t want to wear boots. They look better than wearing your athletic sneakers with a regular outfit.
They also come in white, which you can’t go wrong with.
Rhonda loves the P448, so if you’re in that camp, get them while they’re on sale!
Ali-Shaun and I both got these boots, a great Fall/Winter option for when you want to wear UGGS, but don’t want the fuuuurrrr!
ACCESSORIES
Row 1 (Ana got these) • 2 • 3 • 4
These cocktail earrings are so cute!
Such a classic!
This is even better in person! It’s one of the first things I looked for when we got to the store and immediately changed out my previous band for this beauty! I love how this style looks great for everyday, but it’s also dressier for night!
This initial travel jewelry case has several compartments to hold your jewels while you travel or just to keep at home. Such a great gift for only $12!
Hoop Earrings • Huggie Earrings & Cuff • Ring
These are the three other jewelry pieces I bought – the delicate cubic zirconia hoop earrings, the huggie earrings and layered ring.
Along with the layered necklace.
These earrings looked so sparkly and you really couldn’t even tell they are CZ!
Ali-Shaun fell in love with this translucent green vinyl bag that’s perfect for all the time she spends at ball games.
My store had the Claire V perforated with stripe clutch I’ve been eyeing and it’s a good size in person, larger than I expected.
Beis Weekend Bags and Roller Suitcases
That weekend bag is so big and very cool how it has a bottom zipper compartment for your shoes. The roller suitcases are so pretty! Ali-Shaun just got one for her daughter.
HOME GOODS
These are always first to sell out, so hopefully you get one before they’re gone!
I really liked the new design on these Voluspa candles. They come in a pack of 5 so you can give them individually as gifts.
One of the best values in the sale is this ultra soft throw blanket. It’s only $29 and comes in a rainbow of colors.
BEAUTY
So much goodness in the beauty department, which is where you can stock up on products you’re running low on or want to try while they’re on sale. Here are my top picks!
As for curling irons, I use the T3 curling iron more than the GHD Curling Iron. The T3 has different heat settings, but the GHD glides through hair better. If you have trouble with getting crease marks in your hair, try the GHD and I bet you see a difference.

INTIMATES
No one wants to pay full price for undergarments, and these are the ones I recommend you scoop up while they’re on sale! I bought two more of my everyday bra.

Have a great rest of your weekend friend!
