A coatigan is a mixture of a cardigan and coat combined. It is a stylish piece of fashion that is an all-year rounder. Great for cool summer evenings and just as great as the cold days of winter kick in, I usually get mine from https://consumenten-aanbieding.nl. It is lighter than a traditional winter coat yet warmer than a cardigan. The coatigan is one of those fashion pieces you won’t think is essential until you actually have one.
It helps bridge that awkwardness between seasons and is a crucial piece to a capsule wardrobe.

Poshmark Tips
Use the brand and exact product name in the title. Poshmark invests a ton of money in SEO (search engine optimization) and this is the best way to draw attention to your closet. You have 50 characters including spaces to attract that buyer. You want to use as many words as you can as well as clear precise words that describe what you’re selling! Of all the Poshmark tips, this is the most important!
Photos! Yes, I have an advantage with professional blog photos for most of the items in my Poshmark closet, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t style what you’re selling. Throw it on and take a mirror selfie or style it on the floor and take a flat lay photo. Buyers like to picture what the items would look like on a person and how the item will fit.
The description is just as important as the title and photos. TBH I normally just copy and paste the description directly from the brand website and add in any important information (alterations, signs of wear, etc.)
Pricing is at the top of my list to increase Poshmark sales. Since the price is visible to a buyer before a buyer selects the listing to learn more about that item it is very important that the price aligns with the condition of the item and comparable items in the Poshmark app. If you price yourself out of the market, buyers will browse right by your listings. To price competitively you want to check the SOLD comps, not the live listings. Checking comps for items can be done by searching for an item you are about to list, with those results you want to filter for the SOLD listings. Once you have filtered the SOLD listings look for sold items similar to yours.
You sold an item! Wahoo! Snag the FREE boxes and envelopes from the post office! Yes, you read that correctly! Save your pennies and just use the FREE packing materials from your local post office. You can even order them online here. Lots of big sellers suggest wrapping the item in tissue and including a thank you card and that’s just not for me. I don’t have time for that and all the extra paper is a hard no for the environment.
Lululemon released a clear version of the viral Everywhere Belt Bag and it was an immediate buy for me. The stadium-ready accessory was made for my lifestyle and it made its debut last weekend during San Francisco’s Outside Lands Music Festival. The name of the hands-free, TikTok sensation is totally fitting as you can literally wear it everywhere.
Lululemon’s Clear Belt Bag features the same adjustable strap as the original for optimal comfort. I wore it all three days of Outside Lands – some days around my waist and some days across my chest and I could not have been more comfortable!
It’s made from a water-resistant material to keep your items dry even if inclement weather uproots your plans. The interior pocket is roomy enough to hold your grab-and-go items (think: keys, a phone, and a small wallet). You should also be able to fit a portable charger and ensure you capture all the concert videos and photos your heart desires.
The best thing about a clear bag – it goes with everything! Praying they restock it soon.
For all those sport-goers, the clear belt bag crops up to 7.5 inches by 2 inches by 5.1 inches. Stadium-approved bags can’t measure more than 12 inches by 6 inches, according to policies set forth by the National Football League. That means the bag should adhere to stadium policy, but I recommend looking up specific stadium’s exact policies.
I know all the curvy fashionistas out there remember when Reformation launched. All my thin tall friends were raving about this new sustainable brand with the BEST dresses. I went straight to their website and after one look I knew that these dresses were NOT for me. They were all cut straight up and down with ZERO room for curves <- 100% NOT for me!
Flash forward to today, 10 years later and this brand is not only one of the most sustainable brands in the US, they are producing a full range of products made in sizes for everyone. For this post, I selected my top dresses for my curvy ladies. These dresses are all adjustable and made of stretchy fabrics with hidden benefits.
For brides, bridesmaids, and those attending their 17th wedding this year, this dress can DO IT ALL! I wore it to a wedding (above) with my cousin -> both in a medium.
This is a v-neck, wrap dress with kimono sleeves and a relaxed fit throughout. The relaxed fit is EVERYTHING you need in a dress. Wrap it up tight for the photos and loosen it up once you’ve hit the buffet.
Feminine style never felt so good than in this midi that pairs a sultry scoop-neck tank with a full swingy skirt, all in a soft and stretchy eco-friendly jersey.
This was my first Reformation dress purchase and my go-to LBD. The stretchy fabric makes it VERY flattering and the pockets simply seal the deal!
Tie it on and go. This oh-so-flattering midi-length dress features a scoop neckline (bra-friendly), a wrap skirt, and a waist tie. The key benefit of this dress is the wrap skirt. The faux wrap is EVERYTHING you need in an LBD. It acts as Spanx without discomfort and conceals any kind of tummy pooch.
Of all the Reformation dresses for curvy girls, this one is a must in your capsule wardrobe!
I wear a very true size 8/38 and needed to size up to a 39

Birkenstock Boston Clog Review
If the Birkenstock Boston Clogs look familiar to you, that’s probably because the style has been around since 1979, and it was extremely popular in the ‘90s and early 2000s. Now, the Birkenstock clogs are making a comeback thanks to their comfy fit and versatility. The cushioned footbed is designed to make you feel like you’re standing in the sand (and I couldn’t agree more), making them comfortable enough for everyday wear, while the neutral suede upper will go with 90% of your fall wardrobe.
I snagged them when they were fully stocked at Revolve and have not stopped wearing them since. From pilates to the airport to the beach. My Boston clogs are a fall fashion must-have!
