Counteract the gray days with cozy colorful clothes! 🌈 This cashmere sweater set is the prettiest teal and I loved how it looked with this candy pink Chesterfield coat. All are from @anntaylor one of my favorite places to shop because Ann has petites over a size 12. Also all of these items are on sale!

While I did receive these clothes as a gift from Ann Taylor I am under no obligation to share with you. This is what I wore to work and when I saw these colors against the green of my building door I had to prop up my phone and capture the color combo!

This sweater is a classic and with the skirt is created a dress effect you can style with tall boots, ankle boots and tights, or dress down with sneakers. I linked to other pieces in this color that would also look dreamy with this skirt, as well as other gorgeous colorful coats.

For reference I am wearing the coat in XL petite and the sweater set in L. I am 5’3” and usually wear a 14/16

Just got back from a 4-night getaway with my sister @debbiefaye78 at @curacaomarriottbeachresort. It was a last-minute planned trip that ended up being perfect. We weren’t ready to celebrate Thanksgiving without our mom and this escape what just what our hearts needed. 

I’ll be sharing more once I finally unpack my suitcase and organize my photos and thoughts; but I couldn’t not share this picture from yesterday morning. Debbie and I got up early to enjoy some of the day at the resort before flying home to DC. We had the infinity pool to ourselves, finished our books, and relaxed before a long day of travel. 🌴

It’s hard when you’re petite and most models aren’t; you have no idea how clothes, especially jeans will fit. To promote @universalstandard’s Denim Drive sale, the company sent me two pairs of jeans of my choice. And I chose to make this video to show how they fit on my 5’3” body. I am usually a 14/32 in jeans but at Universal Standard I wear a 12 because they’re super stretchy and generously sized. 

With jeans as low as $35 in sizes 00-40, this is a sale not to be missed. And use code INFS-BFALISON10 for an additional 10% off sitewide!

The Farrah Flare is a favorite because at my height, most flare jeans will lose what makes them special once hemmed. At a 30” inseam these are great with low heels or lug soles.

The Etta is a straight jean with a vintage fit. If in doubt size down. They’re also super stretchy and the 28” inseam (they also come in 31”) works with my boots and sneakers.

While I was provided the apparel in this Reel for free, I was not paid or contracted to create this content. Consider it a PSA for my fellow shorties shopping this fab denim sale!

Thanks to @talbotsofficial I’m ready for the holidays! #AD

I love Talbots for holiday fashion and this season’s new arrivals do not disappoint. And for Black Friday the entire site is 40% off with free shipping on orders $150+. Until noon, you also receive 50% off 1 regular price item!

I ordered pieces from the Talbots Holiday Collection and found great quality, great style, and great versatility. How cute is the Breton stripe bateau neck with the removable feather cuffs? The metallic plaid patio skirt is so fun, and these two dresses can glam up or dress down with a change of footwear and bag. For reference, I am wearing everything in either XL or 16 petite.

The ivory cords are also Talbots; the black trousers are from last year’s Talbots Holiday Collection showing how Talbots has lasting style. I’ve linked to exact or very similar in my LTK shop.

Working on the weekend is far more enjoyable when it’s in my office 💚

Perimenopause and the pandemic and homeschooling made our row home feel even smaller. So when neighbors revitalized an office building in our town center and offered individual offices for rent, I felt it would be good for business and personally. And I kept it when the world opened up and our kid went back to public school because it helps me have a clear start and end to the work day, but also because I created a space I really enjoy.

This weekend I went to the office to shoot some content. And once I was finished I enjoyed just sitting here, watching the light change. I think I may switch the furniture around, switch up the energy. I love that I can do that without consulting another or having another person’s opinions matter.

When you have a family, things go from me to we. I don’t regret leaving Corporate America to do this full time, but I do miss being part of a team. And I missed having an office, a place away from home that’s just for me. 

I wish more communities would offer rental offices like @thegranitebuilding. With reasonably affordable monthly rates, it doesn’t have to just be business owners who get office spaces. It can be a place to work on a hobby or craft, a place to WFH that’s not home, or a place to just read and write and nap undisturbed. A literal room of one’s own. Because sometimes a person needs time to be a me and not a we. 💚

You’re never too old for a Rory Gilmore sweater… this cotton fisherman sweater is from @llbean and inspired by @marielle.elizabeth I shopped the men’s department for a better size range. The influencer influenced the influencer!

The jeans are @landsend I got last year and I’m glad they brought them back this year in several washes, inseam lengths, and plus sizes. If in doubt, size down. They will shrink in length slightly but not anywhere else, they’re super comfy and stretchy but don’t stretch out. 

Kept the collegiate vibe going with a trucker cap, HOKAs, and my trusty commuter bag for years: the large @dagnedover Dakota backpack!

It’s Cozy Season, and @tjmaxx is here to update our wardrobes with stylish accessories and apparel from the best brands for less. #AD

I recently visited tjmaxx.com and was so impressed with the array of elevated designer labels, on-trend looks, and the best prices. This pearl-encrusted beanie is from a woman designer I have admired for years; tjmaxx.com has the matching gloves and other pieces from this label to make a great set for yourself or to gift another. These earrings I’ve seen from the same designer at department stores; in fact I own other earrings from this label and paid much more for them. I should have checked T.J.Maxx first! And this cozy poncho is the perfect layer for late fall in the DC area.

I love how the winter white pieces elevate my existing closet. And pearls can be worn for day or glam up for evening. I can see many ways I’ll be styling these designer accessories from #tjmaxx all season long!

My husband has a special backpack he fills with weight to wear while hiking; it’s called rucking. I wear a @dagnedover Dakota and fill it with my laptop, my iPad, a full water bottle, and my purse and walk to work; it’s called commuting. 💁🏻‍♀️

But seriously, I’ve had this backpack for five years. It has been shoved under plane seats, in overstuffed car trunks, under feet in the passenger seat. I’ve worn it as I’ve walked miles in major cities and from my house to my town center. My daughter also has a Dagne Dakota; it survived middle school and continues to work through camping, sleepovers, and road trips. It’s genially designed, comfortable, and can take a beating and still look great.

As for the rest of the look, the vest (XL) is a new purchase from @athleta; the Rainier tights (L) are also Athleta but two years old. The purple top is @nike and about a decade old. Hat is @llbean and it’s on sale for less than $15. And my trusty @hoka sneakers that have had their own set of adventures.

What I Wore Last Week

This article may contain affiliate links; if you click on a shopping link and make a purchase I may receive a commission. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases. 

The days are blurring together and with it, the outfits. Sometimes it's bedtime and I realize I never captured my outfit. And to be honest, some days are the same outfit, just with different underwear and occasionally a different base layer. But this week is also one where I got a little more adventurous with my wardrobe. The looks from this week I remembered to capture:

quarantine fashion 2

overalls | similar sweater | Birkenstocks | socks | link necklace | initial necklace

I've had these overalls from Carhartt since March 2018.  They are a fave because they're not heavy but still enough that they don't cling.  They come in lengths; these are a Large Short. I appreciate the zipper pocket at the top so I can put my smartphone in there and know it won't fall out if I bend over or use the facilities. Under it is the machine-washable merino sweater from this blog post; it's now sold out but this is another washable merino also from Banana Republic in the same color.  These Bombas socks are the very first pair I ever bought from the brand and are still going strong many years later. And shocker, the silver Birkenstocks again! They are officially my house shoes and a new pair of the EVA style in orange have become my yard shoes.  The only time I'm leaving the house is to visit our plots at the community garden a couple of blocks away and for that I'm wearing my BOGS boots.  I think I need to write about those boots… I got them as part of a sponsored post way back in 2015 and they are one of the most loved shoes I own.  Mud, rain, snow, none of them are a problem with these.  My mom even got a pair after hearing me constantly rave about them.  

quarantine fashion 5

dress | Birkenstocks | similar hoops

Cleaning up my neglected closet I realized I got this dress from my last Rent the Runway Unlimited delivery. It is an exclusive collection for Rent the Runway from Sweet Baby Jamie. It has a sheer overlay and sheer sleeves with metallic threads going through it.  When I got it, I planned on wearing it cinched with a brown leather vintage belt and brown leather boots.  Now it's comfy and feels glam and festive with Birkenstocks and a bare face! 

quarantine fashion 1

jacket wrap thing | similar t-shirt | joggers | Birkenstocks | link necklace

This was my look for multiple days, just with different t-shirts underneath.  The wrap gives a bit of warmth, just the amount I need for the weather right now in Maryland.  It's fleecy inside so wash it before wearing with other fleecy things that can handle some black lint (I washed it with a load of towels). It has deep yet narrow pockets so I can put in my iPhone Max and it fits but doesn't spill out when I sit or lie down on the couch. The sizing is S/M or L/XL; I have the L/XL but if I were a 10/12 or smaller I'd go with the S/M and I think the L/XL would work up to a 16.  The joggers have been on repeat; they are super soft but not too thin and I love that they have zipper pockets so I don't lose things like my lip balm. They are a size Large. The t-shirt I've worn on the blog before; it's sold out but this one from Etsy is similar. 

quarantine fashion 4

sports bra | leggings | similar t-shirt from a different retailer

I believe this day I wore the same thing as the previous photo, just with this white v-neck from Soma (a few of you asked about good v-neck t-shirts, this one is a fave, I wear it in Large).  I didn't capture any photo except this one after my Peloton ride.  It was my best output on the bike, and I sweat so much I ended up yanking off my t-shirt.  I've never been a cardio person and I've never been to a spin class but I am really liking my Peloton!  Post about it coming soon! The t-shirt is from Everlane, I'm not terribly happy with Everlane right now so I linked to a similar t-shirt from Universal Standard above. Everlane sent me the shirt as a gift at the beginning of March and honestly, it's not anything to write home about anyway hence it being used for working out. I don't even know which tee it is, it's paler pink than anything on the website and it's cropped (at least cropped on me) with standard short sleeves and no pocket.  Anyway, the one from Universal Standard I linked to is a better choice.

quarantine fashion 3

sweater | t-shirt | joggers | Birkenstocks | link necklace | initial necklace

This is my favorite outfit from the whole week.  I love this sweater, I think it's so fun, like Joey from Full House would have worn it.  And again the joggers and the Soma slub v-neck tee I like so much.  This tee looks transparent but is pretty opaque, it's soft but not floppy, washes well, keeps its shape, and I think has a great fit for curves.  And I'm all about wearing jewelry; if I have it I should wear it and it makes me feel more me.

    Alison, would you be willing to do a post giving your readers a tour of your closet?
    I think you’ve mentioned before that you don’t have a lot of square footage to devote to your wardrobe, so I’m wondering if you have any suggestions for folks like me who need some ideas and inspiration: Are you ruthless about culling clothes & accessories you no longer wear/like? Do you use a professional organizational system? Have you developed your own “closet hacks” to improve the functionality/capacity of the space? How do you make the space work for you?

    I look forward to all your posts, and always appreciate how you keep it real.
    Thanks much.

    Wow. . . I am so bummed if this is true about Everlane. I can’t even begin to imagine my wardrobe without my Everlane pieces. It does seem very suspicious that they laid off those particular workers, as the story you linked to describes the situation. . . However, sometimes there really are two sides to a story that involves labor relations–I know directly because of an incident where my school decided to not renew the contract of a teacher with serious inappropriate behaviors with both students and colleagues–and she somehow filed a successful action against us with the National Labor Relations Board! That was costly in time and money for our non-profit organization. And darn ridiculous. Different story, I know. . . I am going to need to follow the Everlane story to get to the bottom of this one.

      Few plaintiffs are perfect employees. They are often vocal and critical voices. While employers can take action to address inappropriate behavior, that never justifies a violation of federal law, intentionally or unintentionally. But I’m with you on the idea that there are two sides to every story. The fact that the union requested recognition 4 days before the layoffs began, and some folks were moved into full-time roles just before the layoff, is suspicious timing, but I also don’t want to jump to conclusions. Maybe selfishly, as I am a recent Everlane jeans fan. I work to support businesses that support unions, or at a minimum, don’t oppose them. It takes a lot of conscious effort, though – lots of big-name companies don’t have good records-Apple, Google, Amazon, Wal-Mart, to name a few.

    I’ve got to get those overalls with the huge zipper pocket. I was at the DC zoo once and I bent over while using the facilities and all the stuff from my pockets went everywhere on the floor…..it was horrible. I need everything to have zipper pockets.

    Bogs are the bomb. I wear them around the farm/garden here and they last for years. The lightweight versions work better for me, not quite as clunky. They even have enough arch support to take the dog on a short hike through the woods in really rainy weather. When we had horses, they were my go to barn boots, nothing phased them. It makes me happy seeing someone else love them.

    Love the dress! That looks so comfortable — and gorgeous! I really don’t understand those who say we need to get dressed in uptight, corporate work clothes in order to get work done from home. Some say it “focuses their mind” and allows them to get into “professional office mode.” As for me, nothing focuses my mind like comfort, LOL!

    I’ve done the same thing with rewearing similar outfits. It’s important to feel comfortable. And I’ve been selecting clothes that feel like a “hug.”

Working on the weekend is far more enjoyable when it’s in my office 💚

Perimenopause and the pandemic and homeschooling made our row home feel even smaller. So when neighbors revitalized an office building in our town center and offered individual offices for rent, I felt it would be good for business and personally. And I kept it when the world opened up and our kid went back to public school because it helps me have a clear start and end to the work day, but also because I created a space I really enjoy.

This weekend I went to the office to shoot some content. And once I was finished I enjoyed just sitting here, watching the light change. I think I may switch the furniture around, switch up the energy. I love that I can do that without consulting another or having another person’s opinions matter.

When you have a family, things go from me to we. I don’t regret leaving Corporate America to do this full time, but I do miss being part of a team. And I missed having an office, a place away from home that’s just for me. 

I wish more communities would offer rental offices like @thegranitebuilding. With reasonably affordable monthly rates, it doesn’t have to just be business owners who get office spaces. It can be a place to work on a hobby or craft, a place to WFH that’s not home, or a place to just read and write and nap undisturbed. A literal room of one’s own. Because sometimes a person needs time to be a me and not a we. 💚

Another day of early voting for our city election, another outfit I wore as an election judge! 🗳️

I got this sweater set from @mmlafleur last spring and it continues to be a favorite. The color and popcorn stitch makes it wearable three seasons of the year. I’ve styled it with gold heels and dramatic gold earrings, with sneakers and a crossbody belt bag, and more than once with knee-high boots and a scarf at my throat. The color works with brown and black boots, the skirt silhouette and length with heels and flats. These brown riding boots are from @duoboots and almost a decade old. The scarf belonged to my dad; I have a feeling it was styled with a leisure suit back in the day!

I may have been more dressed up than other election judges but I think seeing democracy in action is a cause to celebrate! 🇺🇸

Early voting poll worker style 🗳️

I’ve been an election judge (AKA poll worker) for several years but this year I decided to take it a step further and join my city’s Board of Elections. I’m passionate about fair and accessible elections for all. The Board is acting as election judges for early voting so it’s great to use my previous experience on a city level!

I believe voting is a special occasion and I dressed the part. The puff sleeve sweater and pants are from @anntaylor; these pants are the same ones from the suit I wore earlier this week. I added a beloved @hermes scarf as a belt and silver hoops (they belonged to my mom) as a hint of shine.

If your area is having an election this coming week; I implore you to vote. Your voice deserves to be heard. And please ensure your neighbors know of the election and where to vote. 🇺🇸

Always fun to see my name in lights! 💡 I was a panelist at the annual @jaofcentralmd Leading Ladies event that connects local high schoolers with women in business. My panel was on using social media for promoting one’s business or personal brand. Along with other social media experts, we guided students and adults on how to create compelling and engaging social content and together created content for the conference’s feed. It was fun and I loved being able to share my almost two decades of personal and professional experience!

The dress code for the conference was business professional and since the event’s theme color was pink, they encouraged us to wear the color. 

This @anntaylor suit has been a favorite since late summer. I’ve dressed it down with a white tank and sneakers and glammed it up with a silk cami and gold heeled sandals. I love how Ann Taylor has petite suiting up to size 16; I know I’m not the only short curvy girl who desires suits and professional attire!

For this event I chose a berry-colored microfiber tank from @lovechicos. I own several of these tanks; they wear like iron and the tight weave and subtle shine make them great shells under suits. 

The look fit the theme but was also comfortable. I was glad to share my expertise and encourage others to see how they can donate their time and knowledge to a local @juniorachievementusa #JALeadingLadies #JALeadingLadies2023 #JACMD #JuniorAchievment

Sharing this from my #iPadOS17 thanks to @apple! A bit belated with all that has been going on lately but I’m really enjoying using an iPad to improve how I work, stay organized, and find new ways to be creative. Can I just say that editing video on an iPad instead of a phone is a game changer!

Recently, I attended an event at the gorgeous Apple Carnegie Library hosted by @flourishplanner_ to learn ways to make the most of #iOS17 and it was awesome. I brought my new iPad and learned about the new wallpaper, stickers, and organizing tools.

As for my look, the dress is from @bananarepublic’s summer collection. Kept it comfy with a pair of Samba sneakers and held down the volume of the dress with my black recycled leather @ganni crossbody. Added an old @_jennybird link necklace and a silver cuff I’ve had since the ‘90s.

I love an excuse to dress up, especially if it’s for a good cause! This weekend was the @thenewdealcafe Masquer-AID fundraiser to support this independent cafe, art gallery, and live music venue in @cityofgreenbelt.

My family and I have loved going to The New Deal Cafe for all these years. Grabbing coffee with friends, having a meal, seeing an amazing band, participating in an open mic or one of their Reel and Meal events. So @debbiefaye78, our mom, and I got tickets and even chipped in for a plaque from us “Ashpes Girls.” 

Our mom passed before she could attend the event; we asked our like a sister best friend @shellymingram to join us in her place and we had a great time, dancing all night as our mom would have, connecting with neighbors, and supporting a local business we all love so much.

As for the outfit, the dress is @ronnykobo the bag is @ganni and I borrowed both from @renttherunway The shoes I’ve had for years and the gold metal mask I found on Amazon and liked how it could mold to my face and not put pressure on my still-healing eye.

And I know y’all will ask because I received so many DMs this weekend when I shared this event in my Stories… my sister’s dress is from @eshakti she bought it a few years ago and it’s even more gorgeous in person!

The biggest fashion trend this fall is a return to classics. For decades I have turned to @talbotsofficial for quality classics with style.  This season, Talbots has a fantastic range of pants to update the wardrobe. 

I love how these @talbotsofficial ivory stretch corduroy straight leg pants elevate closet classics! Available in Misses, Petite, Plus, Plus Petite, Curvy, and in 10 colors, these cords are a chic alternative to jeans and just as easy care! I can run errands and have a bit of quiet time with an ebook and a coffee with comfort and style.
