Styling SPANX Legging Multiple ways for Fall

Hey ladies! Told you it was a busy day on the blog this week! haha! Making more of an effort to style popular items multiple ways on the blog– and this week we are focusing on SPANX legging! Admittedly took me awhile to get into these but I have owned them a couple of years and they truly have amazing shapewear AND are versatile- I will continue to style them through the fall for you and also into the winter for more ideas!

Faux Leather Leggings are a staple in my closet now and with so many sales lately I know we are all getting ready to style these for Fall/Winter!

For Sizing: My typical size in Large in legging but I like to grab a size XL in SPANX!

Love these more casual looks that can take you anywhere keep you trendy and also so comfy!
This is a great way to put a cardigan to use!

This Look is one of the first I tried on I do love that tunic sweater there was a similar one from last year that I loved and couldn’t get my hands on! It runs a little big, but I still did my true size large! The MOTO is a HUGE surprise of the sale under $60!– I don’t usually go for this color but it is LIFE! so good with all black too which you can see below! Jeans are a great buy at $44 and a perfect fit with size 10 Brought home these pieces!
The Leopard print Barefoot Dreams Cardigan that broke the internet LOL So so pretty! this is not the “Lite” Version so its a heavier style sweater. Runs TTS, I am wearing the large. Grab it while you can!
This off shoulder chunky sweater is a DREAM. Its a little big I would tell you to size down if you can, but so pretty, slouchy and perfect for that Luxe Lounge style.
LOVE this moto jacket, the fur is removable and not irritating at all! Runs TTS I am wearing the large. These Good American Jeans are the HIT of the party. Gigi and I both bought them– one of my favorite Premium Denim hugs every curve and it so comfy!

The Thread and Supply Sweater Coat is surprise for me as I didn’t see it online and love the fit when trying it on! Love it pair with this basic tee– which grab in all the colors its a fan favorite! Wearing my true size large in everything!
Cashmere wrap anyone!? I think there is a neutrals theme going here and I am.here.for.that. The layering tops I have on in almost every outfit I purchased in black and white. Great workwear option as its a jersey stretch material doesn’t add a ton of weight! Runs TTS!

Another Madewell Cardigan that is a soft stretchy material, love the stripe, but I personally prefer the color block or plain color for my own wardrobe. I am wearing a large in both cardigans!
My favorite bootie of the sale, the heel is not too high so they are slip on comfortable. I wore them with almost every outfit in this try on. Brought this exact color combination home, but there are some other great colors I didn’t see! Cannot go wrong! Runs TTS!
This is the Barefoot Dreams Cardigan I came home with, its the lighter weight version — I just prefer the weight of it better. I wear the large and its so cozy great for lounge and everyday wear. Great price point its $65 normally $115!

Girlfriends Guide to the NSale: Top 5

Hey girls! I know there is SO much happening and so fast when it comes to the NSale. I have scoured literally the entire sale– so I know, it can be overwhelming. The upcoming seasons of newness is all so exciting, but how can we know we are choosing the best?! We want to shop the sale because we know there are good deals, but how can we sort through it all with such little time?

Let me help you sis. Wanted to share a post I created with my closest friends in mind… My list of Top 5, not overall because I fee like that would be too limiting and we all have different needs. Everything is in categories as a quick reference guide so when shopping opens, you will be ready! 😉

In the Words of Jerry Maguire- “Help me Help you”… Thank you so much for shopping my links it truly means the world! By doing so you support my small business and allows me to keep finding the finds day after day! 🙂 -xo Sarah

This Sweater is one of the MOST popular sweaters from last year and is BACK again! Its a great sweater lightweight enough to not get too hot, and comes in a couple colors. I am wearing the Medium, so you can size down one from your typical size. -xo Sarah

|SHOP THE LOOK|

Barefoot Dreams cardigan is a staple piece and makes a great gift! This Circle CozyChic Style was a most shopped item last year too and its back! Grab you true size in this sweater!

Denim
Right out of the gate I broke my own rule. There are 6 pair of denim, one for each leg style you will need for Fall/Winter. I am not a huge on paying a ton for denim so these deals are great to take advantage of when you are looking for a new pair. Skinny is a NEED, Try a new leg style, the Flare will make your legs look a mile long a great for date night. Or even the distressed hem pair to dress up with heels and wear everyday with sneakers.

Boots

Fashion Sneakers/Athletic
I could not pick just 5, the shoes get me every time! So there are 6.:)

Basics/Layering Tops

Light Jackets
Another V. tough category because there are a lot and they are really good. Kept it to 5, even though I could have added more. These are great choices that can go anywhere!

This jacket is back in a new updated version this year. Its a great one to have in your closet, perfect for date night and girls night out! 🙂

Sweaters

This Sweater was a top seller for all year! Its back too! I am wearing the Large but you can size down one from your normal size!

Cardigans

Girl! Barefoot Dreams Cardigans are THE Best! Great gifts and run TTS! Rarely ever going on sale, its a big time popular item!

Athleisure Jackets
All my favorites, I will FOR SURE need each of these.

This Stretchy/Hooded Moto Blazer I have owned for two years and REFUSE to get rid of it. I LOVE it. Its super chic, has good amount of stretch and looks literally great over everything. If you want a jacket nobody has, grab this once at $50 off. I am wearing my true size large.

Athleisure Bottoms
SPANX and Zella High waisted legging are a STAPLE in my closet and should be in yours too! HIGH Sell out risk! Grab ASAP! SPANX I get 1 size up from my normal size and the Zella I get my true Size Large.

SPANX Leggings are a GREAT item to have in your wardrobe, snag them if you can since they are almost $30 off in the Sale. I size up one to an XL they have superior “hold you in technology” so they are kinda tight if you don’t.
these joggers were in my try on a few weeks ago and they are now apart of the sale! Great joggers under $40! I wear them in my True size large.
These leggings are a great yoga/athleisure legging are a staple at the Nsale. Great decision to snag these, even if you get them in another color you might not already have. Super Opqgue and great to wear with boots and all fall/winter. I buy my true size large.

Athleisure Tops

Home
Need I say more than Barefoot Dreams Blanket and Anthropologie Candles?

Beauty/ Hair /Tools

Bags
Very Athleisure right now, we are loving the Varsity Stripe and contrast prints. SO FREAKING GOOD.

Sunglasses
Mixed in lower priced with designer on these! Designer deals are $120+ off!

Pajamas and Robes

Loungewear
Gibson Lounge is MY favorite!
You need some Cozy pieces in your life and these New Gibson Pieces are So good!

Workwear

I have this blazer in three colors and has NEVER been marked down this low– typically I have paid $99 for this and the Anniversary price is $49! I wear my true size large, its stretchy and a lined cotton material. Great for work and also over a graphic tee.
