Top 5 Favorites – March 2020

Your Top 5 Favorites from March 2020 were all about cozy work from home essentials and taking advantage of great online sales.

Top 5 Favorites – March

1.Moisturizer– I first shared this moisturized in my Sunday Series because I scored it for 25% off.  It has a cult following (Victoria Beckham is one of its earliest fans).  You’re instructed to use it and nothing else for 27 days.  By the end, your skin is supposed to be totally transformed.

I’m on day 18 and I can definitely say my skin is glorious.  Super moisturized and plump feeling.  Zero irritations.  Stay tuned for a full review once I complete 27 days!

 

2. Gold chain necklace – this was also something I scored on sale and you guys loved it.  The chunky, choker vibe is edgy yet versatile.  I pair mine with this one, and together they make SUCH a statement.

This one is currently 40% off and the other is almost sold out.  Get them before they’re gone!

 

3. Joggers – my loungewear review was by far the most popular post in March.  Who isn’t living in sweatpants right now?  My exact pair is sold out, but this print is the same style and these are the non-cropped version.  I adore how substantial and cozy the fabric is.  Worth every penny!

 

4. 90’s jeans – while I’m not wearing jeans during quarantine, I pounced on these because they went on sale.  They are high rise, loose fit and super chic.  Pair them with cropped or front tuck tees and sneakers for an it-girl vibe.

I also love the darker wash.

 

5.Wide leg cropped pants – I’ve owned these pants for years and talk about them ad nauseum.  For good reason too.  They flatter EVERY body type, are priced right ($72) and come in 6 colors and 2 lengths.

They went on sale so I snagged them in black.  Check out their counterparts: this straight leg pair and this slim leg pair.

What I’m Coveting

If you’re a long time reader of In Spades, you’ve heard me talk about Everlane before.  They make great closet staples at fair prices.  I first discovered the brand after searching for the perfect t-shirt.  My first order was their tank tops and tees, and I haven’t looked back since.

Everlane is doing a 25% off site-wide sale until Friday.

While they are pretty great about doing sales (their Pay What You Can is awesome) this is the first time the ENTIRE collection is on sale.

If you’re in need of some great wardrobe basics, now is a great time to pounce.

Here are some of my Favorite Everlane pieces
Jackets

The Best Linen Blazers

This linen blazer is the perfect transition piece from spring to summer.  It’s a cotton blend so it breathes well and it comes in 6 colors.  I may have to add the sandstone or soft rust color to my closet.

I’m wearing a size 0.  It runs TTS.  The oversized fit gives a bit of edge to a sophisticated piece.  I love that it can be worn casual with jeans or dressed up (over a silk slip dress and heels) for a night out.  The blazer is fully lined so it’s a high quality piece.

Currently on sale for $108.

Everlane Cropped Denim Jacket

This cropped denim jacket is a closet staple.  If you don’t have a denim jacket in your life, now is a great time to take advantage (I own 4).  I’m wearing an XS (runs TTS).

It’s currently on sale for $39.

If you’re looking for a regular length denim jacket, this one comes in 4 washes and is on sale for $66.  I love the bone colored wash for spring.

My jacket is paired with this Everlane skirt, on sale for $34.  I’m wearing a size 0.

Pants

Everlane Wide Leg Cropped Pants

These are honestly the most flattering pants I own.  I will definitely be using this sale to snatch up a black pair.

They come in 6 colors and regular or ankle length.  I am wearing a size 0, ankle.

There is a bit of stretch to them, so they’re super comfortable.  They also come in a straight leg and a slim leg.

Every pair is on sale for $54.

Tops

Everlane Silk Top

This silk button-down is a must.  I’m wearing an XS.  It’s incredibly hard to find 100% silk for under $100.

It’s currently on sale for $73.

T-shirts are the reason I sought out Everlane in the first place and I’m loyal to them to this day.

My current favorite is their oversized v-neck.  I own it in black and white (XS) and am wearing in the above photo with my linen blazer.

Currently on sale for $21.

Shoes

Everlane makes so many great shoes (try these loafers), but my favorite during this sale are these boots.

I included them in my Weekend Packing List round-up because they are super versatile and comfortable.  The block heel gives you some height without compromising comfort.

They come in 3 colors and are currently on sale for $176.

Your Top 5 Favorites – October 2019

Everlane Wide Leg Cropped Pants

Your September favorites were all about beauty, but your October favorites were all about fashion!

I actually have 6 products to share with you this month because two were a tie.

Here’s what you loved in October
1) Concealer – I shared this life-changing concealer on my Sunday Series and you must have heard the passion in my voice because it was hands down an October favorite.  It’s super moisturizing, buildable and doesn’t cake or crease.  What more could you ask for?  It also comes in 30 colors so you’re bound to find the perfect shade match.
2) Ruffle sweater – I’ve been wearing this sweater on repeat and you love it just as much as I do.  A Nuuly find that I ended up purchasing, it’s sold out, but this one is almost an exact replica.  Also check out this one under $35 and this one.
3) Wide Leg Cropped Pants – seriously the most flattering pants I own.  If you’re pear or apple shaped, they minimize the widest parts of your body for an ultra flattering silhouette.  The fabric has a bit of stretch and they come in 6 colors and 2 lengths.  Plus, they’re available in sizes 00 – 16.
4) Plaid dress – this was the winner of my first Nuuly box thanks to its awesome silhouette.  The fabric is so comfortable and can be dressed up or down.  Paired with sandals in warmer temps and ankle boots in cooler temps, this baby is a year-round winner.
5) Floral midi dress – you guys loved my final look of NYFW.  Since that dress is no longer available, I found this one under $60.  It has the same floral print, bell sleeves and midi length.  Such a steal for $59!
6) Leopard joggers – these cozy joggers tied with the floral midi dress.  They’re amazingly comfortable, run TTS and have a flattering fit.  Unfortunately, after a couple hours of wear they already started pilling.  The care instructions said they are hand wash only, so that should have been my first clue.  The reviews online are stellar, so maybe you’ll have better luck than I did.
