Get ready, below we are sharing our favorite in-store picks from day one!

Open Edit Double Breasted Crop Trench Coat [true to size, wearing in S] // AG Jeans [true to size, wearing in 27] // Sam Edelman Booties [true to size]
I was so excited when I put this crop trench coat on – I often find trench coats to be overwhelming so I loved the cropped fit of this one! A great layering piece for fall! ps. These jeans were an absolute team favorite!
Clare V Bag // Nordstrom White Tee [true to size, wearing in S]
What I didn’t need to buy in this year’s sale: another bag. What I bought: another bag. I couldn’t say no to this Clare V bag with its bold red color and fun strap! It’s the perfect size to throw in all of my essentials for days [or nights] on the go!
Varley Pullover [true to size, wearing in S] // Varley Shorts [true to size, wearing in S] // Varley Leggings [true to size, wearing in M] // Nike Sneakers [true to size]
This pullover was an immediate “yes” [in both colors, lets be real] as soon as I tried it on! I think ultimately what made me buy it in both colors were the coordinating bottoms that went with both! Highly recommend these shorts!
