Top fashion items for fun, holiday & everyday style

My list of must-have fashion items from hats, tops, insoles to laundry detergent to protect it all.

Everything you need, plus a few things you didn’t know you needed

Goorin Bros. Trucker Cap – “Clever” I am so happy I found this Goorin Brother’s trucker hat from their Farm collection on Amazon. I literally went into my favorite local boutique here in Louisville and they said they just stopped carrying it. That thought of, “shoulda bought it when I saw it!” flashed in my mind. Thankfully, there’s Amazon. Snag yours here: https://amzn.to/3O690Tu

The best women’s fashion vests & baselayer tops

KANCY KOLE Women’s Vintage Vest Fully Lined Formal Business Dress Suits Button Down Steampunk Waistcoat you’re welcome. I’ve been looking for quality, vests that can be worn on their own or under a blazer to make a 3-piece-suit look. And I found them. These are lined, have small pockets and come in a variety of sizes and styles. I have one in grey. Highly recommend: https://amzn.to/43czxD2

Belle Poque Women Double Breasted Waistcoat Vintage Lapel Collar Vest Coat with 2 Pockets have I told you now much I love pockets? This is a great vest to wear at a networking function because you can stash business cards in the pockets or a small thing of mints, gum or lipgloss. I have it in green. Shop for yours: https://amzn.to/3XFwVMV

KANCY KOLE Women Waistcoat Button Vintage Vest Regular Fitted Fashion Dressy Suit I’m also a big fan of this style vest; it has a slimmer back, almost like a racer back look. And yes, pockets. I bought a tan color at the time. It’s very flattering. Shop for yours: https://amzn.to/3D2qCcK

32 Degrees Women’s Lightweight Baselayer Crew Top | Long Sleeve | Form Fitting if you’re buying any of the above vests, buy these black undershirts too! They’re awesome to have on hand. A black base layer top is a basic essential in a woman’s wardrobe. I always wear them during the cooler months under a puffy vest or layered. Costco also sells the 32 Degrees brand but when they’re out of stock, you can also get them here from me: https://amzn.to/3pE7LS3

32 Degrees Weatherproof Womens Long Sleeve Scoop Neck I told you it’s a staple. Here’s the white. I have at least two or three of these basics so that I always have a clean one available. The 32 Degree brand is perfect for cool to cold weather months. It’s thin enough to layer underneath other clothes or with just an outerwear vest. Get yours today: https://amzn.to/44wky7U

Specialty & Holiday seasonal fashion

Guaranteed to spark joy when you wear any off the following:

This cute Halloween themed light sweatshirt, for plans or no plans. Either way, throw this RJXDLT Women’s Halloween Shirt Slouchy Sweatshirt Off Shoulder Pumpkin Pullover on and you’re festive for the evening. I bought a Medium. The only drawback is that the recommended washing is hand wash only.

Elf Santa’s Coming! I Know Him! Sweatshirt trust me, this is THE only holiday sweater you’ll ever need. Maybe…I have lots. But! This is definitely a crowd pleaser. Everyone knows the movie Elf with Will Farrell as Buddy the elf. It’s also a fun sweater to wear for a Zoom or in-person holiday party that might be less dressy but nonetheless festive. I have it in black. Get yours: https://amzn.to/3XIoVdS

ELF The Movie Men’s Mr. Narwhal Bye Buddy Ugly Christmas Sweater Knit Pullover I just came across this gem while prepping for Prime Day. It’s awesome. I highly recommend picking one up for the gentleman in your life. Merry X-mas: https://amzn.to/448Fdzb

OeyFnbmO Men’s Women’s Overalls Shorts Denim bib Overalls these American flag overalls are a must for your 4th of July activities. I bought a pair for myself and my husband and they’re a true hit wherever we are together on the holiday. Follow me for style advice: https://amzn.to/3rmphel

“Aunticorn” like a normal aunt, but more awesome T-Shirt my nieces love when I wear this t-shirt when I come over to visit on weekends. It’s humorous and clever…they’ll get it one day ;). I have it in grey but it’s adorable in the other colors. If you’re an Aunt, get yours here: https://amzn.to/43g0buQ

Insole replacements

Pedag 172 Leather Naturally Tanned Sheepskin Insole with Activated Carbon these leather replacement insoles are great for boat shoes. I needed to replace the ones in my Sperry’s which our golden retriever had so deftly extracted and chewed 😛 They fit right out of the box in my size 7.5 shoe. They’re a little thin, so don’t expect them to be a proper soft insole but in a pinch, they definitely do the trick. Here ya go: https://amzn.to/44AB6vt

Bra Extenders – yes, you need these

Akstore 6 Pieces Women’s Soft Comfortable Elastic Bra Extenders Bra Extension Strap 2 Hook 3 Row Hold the phone; you mean with these I won’t have to replace my t-shirt bra when the elastic goes out? Hallelujah. These babies are a girls best friend. I’ve had to order them twice and they’re worth it. I heard someone say once that she used these bra extensions during pregnancy and avoided having to purchase new maternity size bras. Add to bag: https://amzn.to/3JOZ6mT

Jewelry cleaner

Weiman Jewelry Cleaner Liquid with Polishing Cloth Included – Restores Shine and Brilliance to Gold, Diamond, Platinum Jewelry and Precious Stones I’ll link this product here too. I have a lot of nice pieces that range from silver to white gold to pearls. It’s nice to have a cleaning product that supports a range of jewelry and previous stones. On special occasion nights, while getting ready, I drop whatever I plan to wear (including my wedding ring and accessory band) into the basket and let it soak for the recommended amount of time. Everything comes out shiny and sparkly. Note that it’s not recommended for polishing silver. I’ll link their polishing cloths I purchased specifically for silver jewelry. Shop it here: https://amzn.to/3XGAJNV

Weiman Jewelry Polish Cleaner, Tarnish Remover Wipes – 20 Count – Use on Silver Jewelry Antique Silver Gold is available here: https://amzn.to/46HuKML

Laundry care

Woolite Damage Defense Laundry Detergent, 33 Loads, 50 Fl Oz, Regular & HE Washers If you have a lot of light colored and white delicates, I recommend using Woolite detergent. It helps your items withstand many washings over the years while still getting them very clean. Buy it here on Amazon: https://amzn.to/46TxIhx

Woolite Darks Defense Liquid Laundry Detergent, 66 Loads, 100 Fl oz, HE & Regular Washers “does it come in black?” if it does, you need Woolite Dark detergent. Thankfully there’s more of this product than the light version since I typically do more dark colored delicates and workout leggings and tops than light ones. Easy Amazon re-stock as needed: https://amzn.to/46JR5cv
