jillgg's good life (for less)

I always love a good J.Crew fall shopping session ... you just can't beat their fall deals. Today I have some super cute pieces that I would like to show you. These are some great items for early fall and the transition to fall when the weather cools down. For each piece, I designed a couple of ways to get some ideas on how you would like to wear them. I never like to buy clothes that I can't imagine in different ways.

Let's take a look at some great fall pieces ...



Size: I reduced one size to XS so it works as both a sweater and a cardigan.


Thoughts: This cardigan is so cute and frankly, much better in person than it is online. I love wearing it as both a cardigan and a sweater and who can really resist a striped sweater in fall?







Buy the look:


















Size: I went small with my usual size and it's too big. An XS would be perfect, so I would recommend downsizing.






Thoughts: This sweater is so stunning. The fabric is beautiful in person and there is no wool so no itching! Again, I just can't say enough good things about this one that is so perfect for fall.







Buy the look:


















Size: This sweater is true to size. I am short in my usual size. For jeans, I'm usually between 26/27 and went into these at 27.






Thoughts: This olive sweater is so simple and classic. I was looking for a simple olive green sweater and this one definitely fits. I think it's great that it works well on its own and is also great for overlaying. It would be perfect under a blazer or jacket. I'm a little undecided for the jeans, I love the gentle distress and the length. The denim is a bit thick with little stretch, so they are not 100% comfortable.







Buy the look:


















Size: I went small with my usual size. I would say it's the size!






Thoughts: You know I had to throw a sweatshirt in my pocket! I've been a sucker lately, I can't stop This one is so cute with a loose hem and bubble sleeves. I also think it's great that the fabric isn't super thick, so it's not super hot and well draped.





Size: I followed the sizing guidelines and fell half a height.






Thoughts: I'm such a sucker for leopard housing. I have similar pairs of loafers and mules and couldn't resist these ballet flats. You are so classic and feminine. They seem to need a bit of break-in, they're a bit stiff. But not bad.

When buying my wardrobe, versatility is important to me. When I know I can't carry a part in multiple ways, I rarely add it to my closet. Some pieces will stand out as the type that you can literally wear a million ways and when I saw it this striped sweater I knew it was one of them! While I usually try to style a piece in 6 ways, today is a quick styling session with just three outfits. But I know the potential for this striped sweater has a lot more outfits. I love the tunic length of this sweater - goes great with leggings - and it's lightweight so the look and layers look great in summer and the weather cools down too. It is also available in countless colors, both striped and solid, depending on the style! I went for small with my usual size this sweater . It fits the size accordingly. Let's take a look at the outfits ... don't worry about all that school junk on the table. This is life nowadays! From blue jeans for a casual work from home or leggings for...

It's that time again! Time for another 6 ways to style ... I'll take a cabinet clip and design it in 6 ways to give you lots of ideas for simple outfits. I'm just trying to buy items that I know I can wear in a variety of ways, and this helps me visualize how versatile a piece can be - I hope it helps you do the same! Joggers are hot for fall this year, and while we've loved them for a while, they're especially relevant this fall as so many of us still work at home or stay home more than usual. They're so comfortable and fun to wear too! Today I'm designing a pair of joggers that I've had for a while. They are for sure my most worn pair! They were sold out forever, but they're back in stock so grab them now while they're around. This pair is true to size, I'm small in my usual size. Let's take a look at the outfits ... Outfit 1 (above) These joggers go great with a sweater jacket to spice up the look a little for work at home or jus...
