Hi everyone! Hope your week has been great. Here we are again with another Friday shopping post, and this one is a little different.

First, a quick note on why I’m loving getting back to these posts. They’re a much-needed break from the relentless news headlines and heavy things to ponder (there are lots), as well as an opportunity for me to focus on simple things that make me feel good. I think we all need that right now.

Speaking of clothing, I just did another closet purge (thanks, Chelsea!), and I now have the goal of slowly introducing some pieces into my closet that I’m actually excited to wear.

I thought it would be fun to do something a little different. Let’s focus on putting together a whole look, from one place, all for around $500. This one is a whole outfit, but these may also end up being just a couple pieces that you can plug right into your closet.

This week, it’s the store I always come back to when fall arrives: Madewell. Something about their vibe just screams cool girl fall to me.

Enjoy!

My Picks from Madewell

From left to right, clockwise:

I feel like these jeans are the perfect marriage of the looser fit we’ve been leaning into, along with the skinnier silhouette that is starting to slowly make a comeback. A dark denim always works for fall, too.

A great basic white tee is so versatile—alone, well accessorized, with jeans or dress pants, or under a great blazer or jacket. This one rings in at just $38.

I continue to love all things cocoa brown, and this crewneck “SoftWool” sweater is such a classic pick

Gold suede Mary Janes are the perfect pop of color

Madewell’s accessories are so quality… This olive suede bucket bag is only $128
