It’s the first week of November and my Christmas decor is out to play! I rounded up all of my picks for holiday decor and entertaining from Target and Kirklands.
I will be showing off my own decor soon and CAN’T WAIT! While I did purchase several things this year, a lot of my own decor is older or from Home Good and TJMaxx (which I can’t link).
As a reminder, when you shop via the links I provide here I earn a very minimal commission and I REALLY appreciate every purchase.
Thrifted fall styles: I challenged myself to style three outfits for fall with only thrifted pieces! Did I do it? Almost! These three looks are all thrifted (except a few things I’ll mention) and in-style for the fall season!
Secondhand pieces don’t have to be outdated or worn out. The key when shopping secondhand is to look for basics that won’t go out of style. Some things are always a fall trend, like plaid skirts and cardigans!
Shopping Tips
Here are my top tips for thrifting if you are new and shopping to resell or for yourself:
Shop any freestanding rolling racks or carts first! These are new items just being put out.
Goodwill: Notice the color of the tags on these new racks so you can easily spot the new items mixed in with old.
If you visit the same Goodwill often (like several times a week) keep in mind the new color tags. Don’t waste time going through what you’ve already seen!
Peep EVERY section. From employee mistakes to the customer put backs, goodies are everywhere.
Another tip for my fellow resellers: take a day to thrift just for yourself! Usually, I’m thrifting and my mind is in reseller mode so I overlook a lot of great stuff. When I’m buying for myself I don’t care much about the brand, and WOW that really opens up the doors.
A few brands I love for myself that I don’t pick up to resell:
Talbots (almost always great quality and classic styles)
LOFT
A New Day/Target
TJMaxx brands (those random junior ones)
H&M
Old Navy
GAP
There are so many quality brands out there that just don’t resell well, but are perfect for your own closet. What brands do you like? Tell me in the comments!
Let’s dive into the three thrifted fall styles that I found at Goodwill!
Thrifted: JOLT Cardigan $3.59, A New Day T-shirt $1.99, LOFT Plaid Mini Skirt $3.59 + pumpkin.
I’m back with another “Styled 3 Ways” and this time it’s a classic sweater tank in a fun mustard color!
Solid basics like this J. Crew Factory sweater tank are a perfect wardrobe staple. For these looks, I took one tank and styled it 3 ways that are easy for summer and comfy for working from home! Sweater tanks give you a little depth and texture to your layers and I always see them at the thrift. I love a good pattern mixed in, but don’t be afraid to rock a solid only look!
Recently I purged 80% of my personal closet and it felt so good! I decided to rework my wardrobe for what fits my current lifestyle with basic pieces I can mix and match. When you are doing this a good place to start is to choose a color palette! Pick a few colors you love so when you are out shopping you can easily coordinate your buys. Of course, you don’t have to stick to your palette, but it will help you make quick outfits!
See my 3 styled looks with a sweater tank below and don’t forget to tell me your favorite in the comments!
I’ve just made my first platform sneaker purchase and I am DEAD. So cute and fun! I had a hard time deciding between the leopard and rainbow Keds Triple Up Platform Sneakers but ultimately couldn’t resist leopard.

I fell in love with Glossier products in college and have been an avid follower ever since. From the simplistic yet cute packaging to the idea of having the perfect “Glossier Skin”, I have been hooked!
The first Glossier product that reeled me in was the Boy Brow. It had made its way to fame in various online beauty articles and I needed to try it. My brows are blonde and at the time, probably over-plucked. Five years later, I rarely even touch my brows with tweezers and throw on Boy Brow even if it’s the only makeup I’m wearing. Recommendation: If you are blonde like me, I would try Boy Brow in brown. They have blonde, but I like my brows a little darker.
So, here we are today and these are the Glossier products I would recommend to everyone! I am out of a few ones I love, but I am still linking them.
Wearing Stretch Concealer in G11, Cloud Paint in Puff, Boy Brow in Brown, Lid Star in Cub and Balm Dotcom in Coconut. Translucent powder from Elf and L’Oreal Paris Lash Paradise™ Waterproof Mascara.
