at the higher end of that size range as 00:56 am i i fell in love with every product 01:00 long before i started working for the 01:01 company and just continue to enjoy 01:04 working with customers and helping them 01:06 get styled in the fitting let's start 01:08 let me tell you about this first outfit 01:09 so let me start with the cardigan this 01:11 is by stitches and stripes it's 01:13 really long i'm about five seven one of 01:16 the best details of this is if you can 01:18 see in the back that long 01:20 stripe so slimming but just a great 01:22 added detail 01:24 i've got it ruched up today i don't know 01:25 about you but we have been blessed with 01:27 amazing weather 01:29 in the midwest so it's a little warm 01:30 today but this i mean i can't wait 01:33 when it snows and you want that just 01:35 cozy piece 01:37 i have it layered with a t-shirt for a 01:39 great transitional look 01:40 but you could wear a hoodie you could 01:42 wear a sweater under this you could wear 01:44 it as 01:45 outerwear it's really a lovely piece 01:48 i have it paired with daydreamers prince 01:50 t-shirt i don't know about you but i put 01:52 this on 01:53 and i immediately went daily beloved we 01:56 are gathered here today to get through 01:57 this thing called life 01:59 and it felt very of the moment 02:02 um so i love this and i love some prints 02:04 um the best thing 02:06 actually about this outfit and i must 02:08 admit i'm surprised 02:10 is the coated denim i love these i 02:12 actually knew i would love the 02:14 fit this is cut this is the kelsey if 02:17 you've tried the kelsey before 02:19 we have several washes we have a light 02:22 a medium and a little bit more 02:24 deconstructed look 02:25 i have the deconstructed i've been 02:27 wearing it for a couple months now i 02:29 love it 02:30 it is high-waisted and it's got a little 02:33 bit of flare 02:34 at the bottom if you can see it great 02:36 with sneakers i love it 02:38 but this is new to me in the coated 02:39 denim i haven't bought coated denim in a 02:41 while and i have to tell you 02:43 um great new silhouette feels just kind 02:46 of edgy with my p448s but 02:48 i could see this in a heel um i heard 02:51 from samoana who's one of our managers 02:53 here in naperville that 02:54 customers are loving this because it's 02:56 so dual purpose you can 02:57 it doesn't have a ton of sheen to it i'm 02:59 gonna get up a little closer 03:00 it doesn't have a ton of sheen so you 03:03 could wear it to work 03:04 you could wear it out on date night but 03:06 it's perfect for casual it just takes 03:08 your casual outfit up a notch so i love 03:10 this 03:10 um can not forget the p448 so 03:14 i'm going to bring these up these are 03:15 the platform they've got a little bit of 03:17 snake 03:18 oh boy let's see if i can do this a 03:20 little bit of snake on the back heel 03:22 platform on the bottom so you just get a 03:24 little bit of height just kind of 03:26 elongates your leg 03:27 and i just love this casual look okay 03:30 outfit number two i have to tell you i 03:33 pulled these pieces for 03:34 a wear to work look and i i still think 03:37 that is true 03:38 but as soon as i put them on i felt very 03:41 like 03:41 date night um which we have not done in 03:44 a long time 03:44 and probably need to figure out a way to 03:46 do maybe you want to like toss my hair a 03:48 little bit 03:48 so let me tell you a bit about this look 03:50 i'm going to start with jewelry because 03:51 we really didn't talk jewelry on the 03:53 last outfit so i'm going to take my time 03:54 with you there 03:56 this is the andy necklace it is a 03:58 three-tiered necklace so you get three 04:00 in one 04:00 a layered look with the buy of one 04:02 necklace i put on 04:04 this short crop cardi and this beautiful 04:07 cosa bella tank 04:08 it just felt kind of naked in the middle 04:10 but as soon as i put the layered 04:11 necklace on it just felt complete 04:13 layered it up with a little cocktail 04:15 ring and then don't forget your 04:16 bracelets 04:17 layering bracelets fun for everyday but 04:19 definitely fun for date night or work 04:22 if you've been following us for a while 04:24 you know the sadie bracelet 04:25 that's our staple we layer it with 04:27 everything new bracelets that come 04:29 have come in though are the serena and 04:31 it comes in this beautiful square 04:33 also the chevron and if you can't see 04:35 the colors it's a combo of gold 04:38 tans greens just a beautiful fall 04:41 color palette that would go with any of 04:43 your neutrals speaking of neutrals 04:45 this cardi so many things to say first 04:49 of all the silhouette 04:50 if you do not have a cropped cardi for 04:52 the season 04:53 that should be a piece that you pick up 04:54 and this is a beautiful one this is 04:56 stitches and stripes 04:57 runs very true to size i'm in large 04:59 which is my normal size 05:00 again i have it layered with this really 05:02 pretty coastabella it's gray 05:04 gray tank but what i love best is 05:07 actually the sleeve 05:08 so let me stand back again but if you 05:10 can see it's just got a great 05:12 blouse to it which gives it that kind of 05:15 fun kind of sexy feel 05:16 but it's just beautiful and cozy as well 05:19 it's called the nubby 05:20 cardigan because of this beautiful 05:23 texture 05:24 comes off khaki but it's actually a 05:26 little bit on the blush side 05:27 let me tell you about denim so this is 05:30 good american 05:31 if you are a curvy gal and you have not 05:33 purchased a pair of good of american 05:34 denim 05:35 that is the next investment that you 05:36 need to make this is our good 05:38 classic it's a gray wash a little bit 05:41 washed out on the thigh 05:43 and it has a great fit if you've been 05:45 trying denim lately you know that the 05:46 denim fabrication has moved to a little 05:48 bit more rigid a little bit 05:50 less stretch this is a great middle 05:53 ground it has plenty of stretch 05:55 but the fabric's pretty rigid i m
