Fashion Week

It’s fashion week! (LOL) Here are some new outfits for fall!

fashion week for fall this !

Birch the influencer!!

It’s fashion week!

(Can you hear my sarcasm?!)

I actually don’t really like clothing shopping much at all. I like cozy clothes that I can lounge in. Getting dressed up from head to toe seems more like a chore than fun these days. Plus I’m going on 2 years of pregnancy and postpartum and 2 years of pandemic – not much need for new clothes!

But when the seasons change, I do itch for a little something new. And since I’m leaving my home a little more lately, new feels good!

I took myself out on a Sunday afternoon and came home with a few fresh outfits. And I scheduled a Stitch Fix order that was a big winner! Here’s what I got. 

New From The “Mall”

So the best “mall” here is really Barracks Road Shopping Center. Our only classic mall is actually closing. Barracks Road has my favorite stores: Outdoor Provisions, LOFT, Athleta, and Madewell so I hit them up back to back. LOFT was 40% off!

A Fur Coat?

I didn’t end up buying anything at Outdoor Provisions, but this Patagonia coat had me all kinds of cozy!! It was the softest fur ever!

LOFT Pajama Set

I haven’t had a true PJ set in YEARS. Prob longer if you don’t count the ones I bought when my kids were born. These caught my eye and they are THE SOFTEST. I’ve been loving wearing them!! Now I want more – anyone love Lake Pajamas? I’m into softiest soft!

LOFT Pajama Set

Lou & Grey Sweatshirt

LOVE everything Lou & Grey. This sweatshirt is the Signaturesoft fabric that is so buttery smooth. And of course I had to have the black.

Mom Jeans

Put these in the did-not-buy pile. It took me years to buy skinny jeans, and now I can’t go back to straight leg. Maybe it’s just that this particular pair is not flattering, and the color was wrong (dark wash FTW). Also: crops when you’re 5’2″ are impossible! I didn’t have time to go to Madewell, but perhaps I will next time! 

Fitting Mom Jeans

Cozy Tunic

LOVE me a tunic, and the color of this Tunic Hoodie was just so pretty. (Shocking I didn’t get black!) I’ve been living in it so far this fall. Also: If I could choose one kind of clothing to wear everyday for the rest of my life it would be shorts + a tank + long sleeve tunic on top. It’s my all-time favorite combo! 

What would be yours?? Dress? Leggings? Jeans?

Blog Reader Friend!

As I was checking out I was stopped by Ingrid who is a KERF reader! Naturally we had to take a selfie : ) Athleta masks are the best!

Athleta

I’m wearing the Vital Essence tank in aqua above, and I was devastated when they sold out of it a year or more ago. BUT there is now a Vital Essence 2.0 and I bought it in black!! I also picked up a pair of the Mesh Racer Run Shorts for soccer. Love that there is a angled pocket so it can carry my phone. 

New From Stitch Fix 

I have been shopping with Stitch Fix since…2014? Earlier? My body is not easy to shop for (things I pull off racks never fit well) but the Stitch Fix stylists get it right. Or maybe their usual brands – 41 Hawthorn and Market & Spruce – were just made for me! So many of my pieces are those two brands. When I want some unique pieces, a Fix is where I turn! Get $25 off a fix here!

I scheduled a Fix and wrote that I wanted tops and dresses (which I think Stitch Fix does best for me). I ended up keeping all five pieces!!

Loveappella Torri Knit Maxi Dress

I don’t wear long dresses often because I think shorter dresses look better for my height, but I requested a long dress for fall and really liked this one! Elegant yet not fussy, it’s also super comfy.

Market & Spruce Rowan Textured Cotton Sweater

You know me – I love neutrals and casual long-fitting tops. This one is perfect for fall, especially dressed up with some pretty jewelry.

41 Hawthorn Celia Sleeve Detail Dress

I actually have this dress in purple floral (see it in this post) and if there was a dress that checks all the boxes THIS IS IT. I love that this one is totally different pattern yet has all the features of the purple one that I love. So I decided to keep it.

Market & Spruce Jaylah Split Neck Top

Purple, floral, flow for fall. Thought this would be a great top for going out with friends for a casual happy hour.

Also: Shout out to the Athleta Sculptek Jeans. Best jeans ever!

Lilly Pulitzer Kristen Swing Dress

I was on the fence about this one. I like the pattern and it’s comfortable. It also has a really pretty criss-cross back. I’m not sure the swing dress is the most flattering, but because of the 25% buy-all discount, it was free to keep – so I did!

    I think all the dresses are great, especially the top two! I know what you mean about maxi dresses … I am not tall, and I don’t usually look good in them, but if they are cut relatively small, sometimes I find a good one!

    I’m a complete LAKE pajamas addict! I got my first pair for Christmas 2018 and I don’t think I’ve slept in anything else since then and accumulated way too many pairs. I just visited their store in Charleston this past weekend. Let me know if you want any advice on styles to try! I also have and love the black LOFT supersoft sweatshirt (and matching supersoft shorts) and the Lilly Pulitzer swing dress in the same pattern. I was so skeptical of the swing but love it. It looks fabulous on you!

        Ok, For shorts sets, I love the Weekend sets. Here they are: https://lakepajamas.com/products/cerulean-weekend-shorts-set

        The weekend pants sets would likely be too long for you (I’m 5’11 and they are the perfect length) so I would go with this style. These pants are too short for me, but might be perfect for you (they also sell cropped if you want shorter): https://lakepajamas.com/collections/pants-sets/products/hydrangea-short-long-set

        For long, long sets: https://lakepajamas.com/collections/pants-sets/products/saltwater-long-long-set

        They also sell bundles where you can get top, shorts and pants. https://lakepajamas.com/collections/pants-sets/products/hydrangea-bundle

        The robes are also divine! https://lakepajamas.com/collections/robes/products/hydrangea-robe

        Be sure to sign up for emails to get a discount on your first order. Once you know what you like, they have sales around Black Friday, President’s Day and a summer sale. Let me know if you have any questions/end up trying them! ?

    I do love Lake but *only* recommend the shorts sets and also recommend sizing up. My “true size” sets are pretty teeny after going through the cold delicate cycle and hang drying! They shrink like crazy, which is super annoying. The pants sets have shrunk at least 3 inches and hit me mid calf (I’m 5’6) my favorites are the high neck weekend sets.

    Hi Kath, I think those jeans could actually be cute if you cut them to an ankle length. They already have a frayed hem it looks like? I like the color. 🙂
