We haven't had one of these in awhile. Any fun new purchases? I got these pants from J. Crew and I'm obsessed. Definitely size down.

I gave up on paying Vuori prices after both pairs of joggers I bought got holes from chub rub. I found these on Amazon and I love how they fit and they’re super comfortable. Can’t beat the price even if they end up getting holes too.

I replaced my black booties I broke the zipper on last winter.

I had a $25 coupon + a $15 birthday reward at LOFT. My sweaters are really sad. Seems that a few of them are back in style, so I'll shop my closet, too.

I got this in a really pretty olive green that they don't seem to have online:

I also have no belts that fit that are in good shape. I really prefer leather belts and found this:
www.loft.com/accessories-shoes/belts/cat920004/750298.html?dwvar_750298_color=2222&priceSort=DES

My total was about $26 including tax for both.

Most belts these days seem to be vegan leather and don't last.

Are those like a sweatpants material or more like the Vuoris?

BTW, Costco had a Vuori dup hoodie earlier this summer. I bought 2 for about $14/each. I still love my Vuori one, too.

They’re non-sweatpant material like Vuori. Very lightweight.

I got these jeans from Amazon and I love them. They are pull on, pockets are great, super comfortable. They are true to size, I’m plus size and they fit great.

I have an October wedding in Moab, UT. It's a series of events and the weather isn't exactly Fall- high mid-seventies and low in the 40's. So, I've been using this as an excuse to buy some dresses. I'm not keeping them all, but these are what I've ordered. The first three came already and I love them, waiting on the others before I decide:

Got this in black (sold out):  link

LOVE this one. Not sure if it's right for the wedding but I'm keeping it. link

I love the bow in the back, but I think if I keep it, I'll have it shortened. link

Waiting on these:

A ren-faire outfit from Amazon, I'm driving my kids to the MD renaissance festival on Sunday and we will all be Those People, lol. Crossing my fingers that DD2's accessories get here in time, they're supposed to arrive Saturday.

A quilted jacket from LL Bean to replace one that I wore out. www.llbean.com/llb/shop/78463?csp=a&feat=6703-plalander&gnrefine=1*Item*Petite^1*Color/Style*Black^1*Size*Medium

Oh, I also bought our Halloween costumes for me and H (sticking with our movie theme- The Royal Tenenbaums). It's for an adult Halloween party.

[beerlover]

Boring, but I'm really loving this Maidenform tshirt bra that I got at Kohls. I always go super cheap on bras and this was like $38 so it was a splurge lol. My friend said the other night that my boobs looked amazing in it though and I kind of agree! Its very comfortable too.

[starburst604]

Oh and this is probably not for all, but good for IBTC bra shoppers. These bralettes got me though the summer. I randomly bought them in store and liked them so much I ordered more online. I love that they can be a regular or T-back and they so comfortable. Also, the inserts stay put in the wash!

Oh, I also got this. It is SHORT. I'm totally fine showing some leg, but damn. So, tights and boots it is.

I bought this today tnuck.com/products/black-delaney-dress

I needed a new black dress and can wear this for work and some random events I have.

Yes! I just bought several things from Quince and I am obsessed with these pants.

I have several similar pairs from Anthro and the Quince pants are far better, for less than half the price.

If someone in your life wants a camera better than a phone and better than most point and shoots, but you don't want to spend $1k+, check out the sale on the canon r100 2-lens kit: www.bestbuy.com/site/canon-eos-r100-4k-video-mirrorless-camera-special-edition-2-lens-kit-with-rf-s-18-45mm-and-rf-s-55-210mm-lenses-black/6585274.p?skuId=6585274

I found this 4 days ago and they have been flying off the shelves. This is not a vlogging camera.

[babsbunny]

Adding another idea... if you might like a romantic comedy action mystery movie, check out Fall Guy, preferably free on an upcoming American Airlines flight. I had no idea if I would like it based on previews, but it was a great airplane movie.

I got these in my last Stitch and I absolutely love them. I'm losing weight and kind of in-between sizes right now and these are just perfect. I'm short and thick and these are really flattering.

I bought a denim jacket covered in pearls to wear over my wedding dress after we get married, it could be chilly. And I'll wear it over other dresses on our honeymoon, etc. www.amazon.com/dp/B0BX5B17P3?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title

I have these. They are fantastic! Definitely my favorite jeans. I also got them in a Stitchfix box but they go on sale pretty frequently on Amazon.

I haven't purchased these loafers yet, but I have my eye on them... hoping they will go on sale soon... www.toms.com/en-us/products/cara-black-leather-loafer?Women%27s+Size=8.5&Width=Medium

That is good to know, because when I lose some more weight I'm definitely going to want these in the next size down.

Oh hey, I’ll be with those people on Saturday. But it’s the MD Renn Faire, like 60-80% are those people. Have you been recently? A friend of mine who has been going for 30 years sent me a bunch of tip and tricks for navigating the crowds that have build up in the past few years (I haven’t been in 10 years, the rest of my group has never). I can PM them to you. 

My recent purchases have been for Renn faire, fabrics etc (I costumed 5 of the 6 of us, in full or in part). I just checked my Amazon history, and I had to go back a page to get to something not ren fair. 

www.amazon.com/dp/B07R89TTFX I needed a pair of gray pants. These fit well and look nice. Bonus, I had to travel for a meeting and they didn’t wrinkle. 

[glw]

I was shopping at Goodwill and found a pair of chunky lug sole combat boots with the tags still on them and I cannot wait to wear them I am very excited by the return of wide-leg jeans with clompy shoes.

[sunshineandpinot]

I got these "clear" sandals and I'm obsessed. They are super comfortable, go with everything, and are very flattering. They really elevate a look (IMO!)

I am between an 8 and 10. I bought the 10 and they are snug, but I only had them on for a few minutes. It's too hot here to wear them yet. I am thinking they are pretty stretchy! 
Do these fit true to size? I think I would get a lot of wear out of them.

I got this bag, which isn't totally my style, but I've ended up really liking it (I wear it as crossbody): songmontofficial.com/collections/essense-collection/products/luna-bag-walnut


I also bought another bag - different brand in black that I should have returned.  It's kind of cheap looking. So if anyone has a rec for a crossbody/black bag that isn't too big, but still fits glasses, phone, wallet and keys...would love to hear what it is.

[devonpow]

I got this dress for upcoming family pictures www.clubmonaco.com/en/women-clothing-dresses-jumpsuits/handkerchief-hem-shirt-dress/295101632.html?dwvar_295101632_colorname=NAVY%2FBLEU%20MARINE&cgid=women-clothing-dresses-jumpsuits it was 20% off in store. Club Monaco is slightly pricey but this style is so classic and it’s fits so well I’ll definitely get my moneys worth from it
