Timeless Fall Style With Madewell

Blog

Madewell has always been known for their classic, timeless style, and their latest Fall collection is no different. Many of the silhouettes have been updated to keep the pieces modern (hello barrel denim), but overall, the collection is full of those classic foundational pieces in timeless colors that you will want to for your Fall wardrobe, especially if you’re someone that loves to create a capsule wardrobe.

Now, a capsule wardrobe doesn’t have to be boring, but it should consist of pieces that are high quality, seasonally appropriate, and versatile enough to be able to be worn in many different combinations and for various situations. The color palette can vary, but I’d suggest erring on the neutral side (think black, navy, creams, taupes, browns, and gray), and adding in additional color and texture via your shoes, jewelry, and other accessories.

If you’re wondering what pieces to add for Fall, here’s an easy list to help you get started with (just decide on a color palette of 3-5 shades so that what you have is cohesive):

Classic Button Down Shirt
Lightweight Knit Cardigan
Leather Jacket
1-2 pairs of denim
Blazers
Trench Coat
Long-sleeve Crewneck Tee
Midi Skirt
Denim Jacket
Shirt Dress
Leather or Suede Ankle Boots
Statement Bag
Classic Gold Jewelry
Slouchy Trouser
Casual Shoe (Loafers or Trainers)

Trends will come and go, but Madewell’s Fall collection is filled with timeless pieces that you can wear no matter what your style is, and those are the things that I think that you absolutely need for your Fall wardrobe.

Easing Into Fall With Evereve

Blog

I know I know, upon reading the title you’re probably thinking “who is thinking about Fall when it’s 95 degrees out?!” But hear me out! While the official first day of Fall isn’t until September 23, we’re entering into a transitional season this month. It may be hot during the day, but the nights are cool, so now’s the time to start adding in those pieces that will help with layering. Evereve, known for their elevated, everyday style, is the perfect choice to help you ease into Fall!

Light layers, like patterned kimonos, silky camisoles and quarter-sleeve button down blouses are wardrobe staples for this time of year. Also, trend setting denim (like Evereve’s Wide Leg Cropped styles) are perfect for those casual days. They can be worn with both heels and sandals, so they will be a versatile addition to your wardrobe.

Don’t forget to add in jewelry! Classic gold hoops and dainty necklaces will always be a smart choice, but you won’t go wrong adding in colorful or textured earrings as well.

Now, it doesn’t make sense to try and go out to buy a whole new wardrobe, but these are just a few pieces to consider adding to your wardrobe to help you ease into the season.

Evereve is a contemporary, curated boutique for on-trend fashion that complements women’s busy lifestyles. Their in-store stylists focus on helping you find the perfect pieces that fit your personal style. Stop in to see what’s new (and what you need for your closet)!

The Fall Edit // J. Crew

Blog

When I think of quintessential Fall fashion, there are certain pieces and looks that immediately come to mind. Style trends will always come and go, but there are classic elements that all wardrobes should have during this season, regardless of your personal style choices. With that being said, J.Crew has entered the chat.

J. Crew is an iconic heritage brand that’s been around since 1983, and while the fabrications and cuts they have may evolve with the times, they will also be considered a go to for signature pieces like coats, cashmere sweaters, pants and more. Now that we are officially officially in Fall (hello 60 degree temps!), let’s highlight those must-have Fall styles for the season.

Space-Dyed Mockneck Sweater

This isn’t your everyday sweater, and the relaxed fit style of this sweater is perfect for those casual, cozy days.

High-rise ’90s Classic Straight Corduroy Pant

This ’90s-inspired jean with a superhigh rise and classic straight leg is perfect for an “I’ve had this pair forever, and they’re still my favorite” kind of vibe. Swap these out when denim isn’t enough, but you don’t want to wear a traditional trouser pant.

484 Slim-fit Corduroy Pant

Similarly for women, a great pair of corduroy pants should be a staple for all men. The slimmer fit allows for a sleeker look, and you can try them in a super fun color or stick with your neutrals.

Slim Stretch Poplin Shirt

Wearing button-ups are a given, so why not try them in a fun pattern or print? Wear it alone for a more whimsical look, or layer it under your favorite cashmere sweater or jacket.

Limited-edition Crew Baseball Cap

What’s more classic than a baseball cap? This is a cap that speaks for itself, and will be perfect for both bad hair days, or for a “model off duty” type vibe.

Puff-sleeve Sweatshirt Dress

Looks like a dress, feels like sweats. The puff-sleeve detail elevates the dress, so you can keep it casual with sneakers, or belt it and add knee boots and a blazer for a dressier fit.

’90s Classic Straight Jean

Every wardrobe need a pair of denim in that classic medium wash. The ’90s are back, so try it in a straight fit vs your usual skinny.

Lodge Coat

A camel wool coat will always be in style, regardless of what the current trends may be. This cut and color and will literally pair with everything.

5 Transitional Pieces From Madewell For Fall

Blog

The official first day of Fall is only a few days away, and while the temps may still be a little warm, we’re starting to get glimpses of what’s to come once Autumn officially arrives. Fall has always been my favorite time of year for fashion, so naturally I’m itching to update my wardrobe with pieces that will help me easily transition into the season.

I lean more towards a classic, slightly 70s aesthetic when temps start to cool down, so I popped into our Madewell store to see what was new (and for a little style inspo). If you’re in need of some new pieces as well, here are 5 transitional pieces from Madewell that are perfect for Fall.

Fresh Denim
New denim will ALWAYS be a great choice, and Fall is typically when newer cuts and washes are released in stores. I try to keep a variety of styles in stock: a skinny, a flare, and a boyfriend cut. This will give me versatility with the silhouettes that I want to play with when putting outfits together. Madewell is known for their denim, and they have a ton of different styles to choose from, up to a size 4X.

Casual Boot
Last year I fell in love with combat boots, but this year I want to add a Chelsea Boot into the mix. We love a good “model off duty” fit, and these paired with a girlfriend denim and an oversized pullover sweater will easily give you that vibe, or you can just keep it simple and chic in all black with leggings and a moto jacket as well.

Gold Jewelry
As much as I like to try out quirky statement jewelry, time and time again I find myself going back to classic gold accessories, and some of my favorites have come from Madewell. I never leave home without jewelry because I feel like it completes every outfit. From earrings, to necklaces to rings, I always update my jewelry collection with their pieces. They’re great quality, long lasting, and make every outfit look chic.

Leather Crossbody
Madewell has some of the best handbags on the market, so it’s only fitting that a new crossbody style be added to your wardrobe. A quality crossbody bag that can be worn every day is perfect for both those that are always on the go, and the people that don’t like to carry around a lot of junk with them. The shapes feel equally vintage and modern, so your look will always be timeless.

Cool Sunnies
A timeless aviator style of sunglasses are a MUST for everyone. No matter what your personal style is, they instantly make you look cool, and they literally go with everything.

In addition to these essentials, I like to stock up on easy long sleeve tees, light-weight cardigans, a slip-on mule and a few floral midi dresses to help get me through the transitional part of the season. Madewell gave me a ton of style inspiration, and will hopefully do the same for you. Happy shopping!

I’m so so ready for Fall. It’s still pretty hot in Memphis, but with students now going back to school over the last few weeks, it’s safe to say that Fall IS coming.

Transitional clothing items are a must-have right now. While we will still have a few super hot days here and there through mid-September, we will soon begin to have warm days and cooler nights, so a shift will happen with how we dress day to day. Stores are starting to get in Pre-Fall pieces as well (and have great sales), so it’s the perfect time to begin updating your wardrobe with some transitional pieces. Due to COVID, you won’t have to go overboard and buy a ton of new clothes as the weather begins to change, but it’s still nice to update your wardrobe with a cute pair of mules or kimono. If you’re wondering what you should invest in in the upcoming weeks, here are some pre-Fall pieces to add to your wardrobe.

Just Because Ruffle Babydoll Dress, American Threads, $57

We The Free Savannah Tee, Free People $68

Point Sur Hightower Straight Jean, J. Crew $99

Outfit Ideas For Thanksgiving

Blog

Thanksgiving is a few days away, and I don’t know about you guys but I’m still trying to figure out what to wear. Cuteness is a must, but you also want to be comfy so that you can actually enjoy your meal(s) without fear that you’ll look a mess in those annual recap photos. I know that a lot of people treat the holiday super casual now, but I still like to look a little polished, even if I’m just wearing my denim, or a simple sweater dress.

I’ve rounded up a few Thanksgiving outfit ideas in case you’re still trying to figure out what to wear.

Cords in a fun color with your favorite sweater are a classic choice.

source

Flowy maxi dresses will always be my (personal) favorite choice for Thanksgiving dinner.

source

A dressier (but still comfy) option is a pleated skirt and cute heels.

source

When all else fails, try a sweater dress, thigh high boots and your fave hat.

source

A simple outfit with statement making boots will keep the fam’s focus on your style and off your love life.

source

It doesn’t get any easier than a loose sweater, jeans and comfy ankle booties.

source

Add a little sparkle to your denim based look to keep the outfit from being boring.

source

IMO, faux leather leggings and a loose top is a dressier version of pajamas.

What’s your Thanksgiving style?

3 Tips For Waking Up Your Wardrobe

Blog

You can have a closet full of clothes, but that doesn’t mean you won’t ever say to yourself “I have nothing to wear!”. Shopping your closet and remixing your favorite pieces can be fun, but sometimes you really do need to add in a few new pieces to wake up your wardrobe.

When this feeling hits, instead of going out and buying any and everything, take a moment to take stock of what you have, what you need, and what you should try differently so that you don’t get bored. If you still find yourself at a standstill while standing in your favorite store, remember these 3 tips:

Bet on denim
Denim is always a good choice. A medium rinse straight leg skinny is safe bet, but flares have made a resurgence this season so don’t be so quick to skip over it. Denim, sweater, handbag: Indigo.

Choose rompers for “One and Done” looks
Rompers (or jumpsuits-which ever one you want to call it) are so easy to wear this season. They are a great alternative to dresses, can be dressed up or down based on how you accessorize them, and can take you to so many different settings in a day. Wear alone or top with your favorite cardigan or jacket once temps start to cool. Romper + necklace: Threads Memphis.

When all else fails, wear a dress
Sometimes, a girl just needs a cute dress. This season, try the slightly babydoll dress trend; it’s a looser fit than your normal shift dress, but it’s still just as versatile. Wear with sneakers when running errands and then switch to mules or heels and a cute cardie for dinner. Dress + cardigan: Threads Memphis, Bracelets: Kendra Scott.

Don’t forget the cool accessories!
