Oh my goodness! I don’t know when I’ve been SO excited about something! I can’t wait for you to dive into this list. A few things to keep in mind: I’ll include recommendations for glasses, socks, tights and cozy pieces to integrate into your collection in your Intimates and Loungewear Wishlist. More to come!
Now, back to you!
We had such a stellar Closet Edit and from that session, it’s clear that you are ready to amp things up. Because you are specifically drawn to the Cool and Clear Winter color palettes, we’re focusing on those. I’ve added those color charts to your personal profile for easy reference in the future.
We’re opting for oversized pieces that have an effortless, hip vibe while keeping things refined and elegant. There’s no need to sacrifice creative expression for things to be elegant and polished. You’ll see a collection of fun, memorable pieces that are sure to be talking points wherever you take them. And of course, we’re always keeping in mind your body type. Because we’re opting for oversized pieces, we’ll be sure to maintain your natural balance in feminine pieces that are ideal for your lifestyle: working from home and as part of a family with a toddler. You’ll find options for a night out with your husband, a day at the park and everything in between. Let’s go!
First up, lavender and lilac are big favorites of yours and they are lovely together. Add some black or navy for an edge, when that appeals to you. I love this clutch (there’s a removable strap) for a night out or for running around town with your phone and wallet. Need a larger bag? Not to worry. You’ll find one further down the list.
This is a fun pop of color for an outfit of neutrals or an ideal layer for a tone on tone outfit.
Pearls speak to you and this crawler gives the impression of multiple piercings without the effort. It’s edgy, but still very ladylike. It also works with everything on this list and honors your preference for dainty, feminine jewelry that are proportional to your frame.
Remember that the colors on this list all play nicely together, so you can turn up the volume or make things more subtle, depending on the situation. I’m a super fan of this outfit. Lilac, lavender, charcoal grey and finally, a bolt of red. Yes and yes! Each one flatters your frame in an unexpected silhouette and this look together keeps things balanced. I expect you’ll get a lot of use out of each one. And let’s hear it for petite barrel pants for the win! I’m excited for you to explore Ruti and Marcella NYC. Both have multiple items on this list. Just start building a cart and check out at the end. Last but clearly not least, I’m obsessed with this fun umbrella from Amazon. It’s sure to draw attention and it isn’t too precious. It will keep you dry and make a statement to all the parents at school.
You and I have a shared love of bold jewelry and I have a lot of options for you on this list. There are plenty of opportunities to mix and match and the price points vary, so find your happy place. Bona Drag is an ideal source for your jewelry adventures and this sturdy silver ring is just right for the cool colors we’re leaning into.
As I mentioned during your edit, I’m obsessed with this striped sweater and it’s ideal for you and your love of stripes. It’s unexpected and it’s flattering paired with barrel pants or voluminous skirts, maintaining your natural balance. Now to pants- I can’t get enough of this shape for you. It’s harder to find and I have yet to find a pair in petite sizes. So, we’ll need to explore tailoring. But the shape is SO cool and flattering. It’s worth it. Rounding out this outfit, I vote for some clogs. They look very hip with your style, especially the pants. They are also easy to slip on and off, which is ideal for your lifestyle. Feel free to wear them with or without socks. A platform pair like these, is easier for the rain, often keeping you above the wet ground. This particular style is a more slender style than most, for a different look.

Let’s hear it for Marimekko! This brand is an investment, but if these resonate with you, it’s worth it. They offer lots of flexibility as your weight fluctuates, as do most pieces on this list. Each of these is undeniably Marimekko, so expect fellow enthusiasts to connect with you. And of course, they are in two of your favorite colors right now. Feel free to pair them with black to add an edge to the look or layer more pastels. The lavender pea coat above and black boots is a fun combo. Don’t worry about the cold- fleece tights underneath will keep you nice and cozy until the sun comes back.
This glass ring has a one of a kind feel and works with every outfit. What could be better? A close second just might be this plaid coat from Boden. It’s petite and it looks beautiful on! Plus, it has an array of the colors you adore so it will be a functional addition to your wardrobe. I want to be sure that you have a solid supply of t-shirts as your lifestyle is pretty casual. A great tee can make you feel put together in an instant. This v-neck puff sleeve from Boden is feminine and functional.
It’s true. You haven’t been wearing lots of heels. We’re keeping things right for you lifestyle with this low kitten heel from Marcella. The color may seem like a splurge, but these actually work seamlessly with the majority of this list. You’ll love owning them because they make even the simplest outfit more exciting without sacrificing comfort. Fun Fact: They are the same brand as the clutch up top, so the shades match perfectly.

I love so many things about this Marimekko dress: The fun print, the flexibility for weight change, the timeless print AND most of all- I love that you can see the magic of lilac and red together, confirming that YES! You can wear red shoes with that first outfit;)
In colder weather, try fleece lined tights and boots or Mary Janes. (Your list is full of them!) This cocoon coat from Marcella is a steal for the price as the quality is excellent. The colors are beautiful and are ideal for you. Expect to up your style game instantly with one of them, even over jeans and a tee for drop off. I also adore you in this for Zoom calls, bringing the joy to your meetings. Of course, any of the jackets on this list layer over this for cold weather, too. Try the lavender pea coat, the black vegan leather jackets and more, for a start.

One more easy and edgy earring option to pull this all together.
Sweatshirts are one of the great developments of our time. The sweatshirt has come a long way in the past few years- making it a solid stand in for a sweater, especially when you are trying to make your outfit a little more casual. This lightweight piece from Marcella can be worn off one shoulder or as a very wide boat neck. Try it with a strapless bra underneath or wear it with a tank top. You’ll quickly find it’s a game changer and is delightful with a balloon skirt, wide leg pants or barrel shapes. Speaking of balloon skirts, I can’t get enough of this one for you. The color is perfection! The shape is everything. It’s just right in every way. Plus, it’s on sale.
And while we’re here, how about another shoe option? These ankle boots from Camper are crazy comfortable and another piece in Icy Blue. You’ll have fun with these, for sure.

Welcome to yet another outfit to spark joy and excitement. We’ll kick things off with more stellar jewelry. A subtler earring, in case you’d rather not rock a crawler everyday. This white ceramic ring from Bona Drag is stunning and is another piece that will elicit comments all day long. I especially adore it with this white leather handbag. The strap length is adjustable and it makes a statement, while keeping things minimalist. I’m also throwing in a smaller version of the Baggu handbag I had the other day for a smaller choice.
Next up- this shapeless drop waist dress that is forgiving because it is oversized. Wear it throughout the year with varying levels of layers to adjust to the temperature. Feeling cold? Try this this memorable grey scarf cape that has minimalist luxury vibes. Last but certainly not least, let’s upgrade your Chelea boots. This fresh pair is super comfortable and hardworking. Even better? Toss them off and on easily at the front door thanks to the zipper.

Here’s an especially sophisticated look that still keeps you nice and dry. You’ll never be sad about wearing this statement ring paired with, well, anything. Looking for the little black dress that’s ideal for your body type, lifestyle, authentic personal style AND this wacky weather? This slightly a-lined choice from Marcella minimizes your stomach and arms without hiding your shape. A high quality piece at a reasonable price point, you’ll have this for years.
I vote for at least one vegan leather jacket for the rain. I’ve had this jacket for several years and it’s my go-to for winter rain. It looks as good as they day I got it and if necessary, it can be washed. (Although, you’ll want to make sure all vegan leather items have a fan nearby to help them air dry quickly.) In this case, I added in a rain hat so you can choose between this and an umbrella, depending on how cumbersome an umbrella is with your daughter during errands. Plus, this hat is hip.

The good stuff keeps coming!
More fun jewelry options. IN this case, the small ear cuff and the larger double ring are our focus. Again, memorable, aligned with your style and flattering for your body type. Accessories and a great coat can transform any outfit.
You adore stripes and I adore them for you! Here’s a collection of some ideal striped pieces for your wardrobe. Boden is the grandmother of the Breton tee and this boatneck choice is flattering and timeless. Try the expressive cardigan over top to take this outfit to the next level. Finish things off with a great pair of barrel pants from Ruti. These are also petite! Earlier, I included the Intentionally Blank clogs. Those are polished, narrow and slightly platform leather clogs. In contrast, these Birkenstocks are made of Polyurethane (they feel like plastic). They are super comfortable with a removable cork footbed and can be washed in the washing machine. High enough to wear them out in the elements, they keep you above most puddles but aren’t too high to make you feel unstable. They are an incredible finish to a hip outfit. They can be frumpy and boring with the wrong outfit. But, you, my dear, have THE RIGHT OUTFITS- plural. So, you’ll be shocked at how much you favor them. Again, with or without socks, they are an easy shoe to pop on when heading to school or the market quickly.

You know all about my love of vegan leather jackets for rain. They are functional as raincoats, easy to care for and can level up your look. Let’s make sure you have at least one cropped vegan leather jacket. This will make outfit creation much easier. Should you end up with the black option(s), we may swap out the buttons with the tailor to make them look more polished. So, don’t let that sway you. We’re finishing off this look with a feminine dress from All Saints that shows your shape and still flatters you. Wear it throughout the year. Heads up, the tie can be adjusted to make the dress shorter or longer at the knee.

This is a really fun look for family time inside or out. Start things off with a more delicate ring choice and this off the shoulder sweater. It’s sexy, while still totally appropriate. Wear it with a strapless bra or with a tank top underneath. Alternatively, I vote for this sheer button down with a flattering collar. The fabric shows your shape, which is ideal. You can layer underneath- a tank, a bandeau or just a black bra- depending on where you are going and what feels right to you. How about a pair of vegan leather barrel pants in a gorgeous dusty blue? These run VERY large so you may want to size down to the XS.
I am a super fan of the final two pieces for you- but I do recognize that they are out of your comfort zone. Fortunately, you are an adventurer! Yes. Everyone needs a functional raincoat for dumping rain, time at the pumpkin patch and so on. But that doesn’t need to be frumpy and boring. In your case, metallic is the way to go. Rains makes hip raincoats that are functional and reasonably priced. This will last for years and be a show stopper even in the worst weather. Plus, it’s more visible in darkness, for the win. And finally, you likely know that United Nude is my favorite shoe brand. Below are the pair that are ideal for YOU. This style runs big, so you may want to size down. They are really comfortable, edgy and again, folks will ask you about them. Even better? You can toss them off and on effortlessly as the closure is velcro and they are just fine for rain as they are above most puddles. Plus, the color… I mean… right?!
Feel free to pick and choose the jewelry that speaks to you. I’ve been very generous with jewelry recommendations on this list based on your level of enthusiasm and the ability that accessories have to transform a look. Please know that I only include the items I really love for you- so you can also opt to get them all. It’s really up to you!
Now, more t-shirt choices. Every one on the list is flattering and functional. Because you work from home and have a toddler, I want to be sure you have tops that you can simply toss on and know they flatter you.
While we’re here, this wildly glorious pair of barrel jeans from Pistola is even better in person. On the hanger at Nordstrom, it looks like they have little sparkles. But when you put them on and look in the mirror- you’ll see this magical gleaming pair of jeans. Rest assured, you’ll be the only one wearing them, which is a fun position to be in. Worried about styling? I’ve got you.
Also- I love them with the Icy Blue leather jacket… so there’s that.
This combo brings me so much joy! Another hip, effortless and undeniably cool look. Try this wit any of the boots on the list and layer over a jacket or coat for the win. Specifically, the Marcella cocoon coat in red or lilac is a win or try the lavender pea coat. Options abound.
Metamorphoza Asymmetrical Long Dark Denim Skirt. Metamorpoza. $159. 100% HANDMADE - no mass production. MATERIAL: Denim- 95% cotton, 5% elastane.
Sometimes you need work horse pieces that will bring a look together. Each of these three does the job. This navy blue puffer coat is not to be underestimated. You’ll certainly get compliments on it. The Sienna silk top from Boden is lovely in real life and a nice way to introduce elegance into any look and a chambray or denim shirt is an essential. This shade is perfect for your skin tone and the cut is just right to elongate your legs.
You’ve finally made it! Last but absolutely not least, we round things out with three solid choices. First, despite the lackluster photo, this cropped Jungmaven sweatshirt is a truly beloved item, especially amongst the staff of New York Magazine- which is a ringing endorsement. Plus, the color is just right and, importantly, it’s not a traditional crew neck. Instead, the neck is a little wider, which is a must for you.
I can’t get enough of this vegan leather cropped jacket from Theory. Out of the three black cropped jackets, I think this is my favorite. And our final item….. the wide leg pants from Marcella. Again, the quality is solid and I want to be sure we experiment with multiple pant styles while we’re together. Wide leg are on trend and universally flattering and this ponte pair feel like sweats and look like pants. Done and done!
Nylah Pants. Marcella NYC. Was: $119. Now: $110. European Ponte, also known as Punto di Roma (60% Viscose, 30% Polyamide, 10% Lycra). Machine wash on delicate cycle, or hand wash in cold water. Tumble dry on low heat, or for best results, lay flat to dry.
And there you have it! Your very first Uber Wishlist! I can’t wait to hear what you think. Have SO. MUCH. FUN. Don’t overthink it. I’ve got you.
