We Discuss: Fall Things I Guess.


A: I want this for fall reasons:


A: But, I’m mad because it was part of the Nordstrom Anniversary sale and “sold out” really quickly.

A: Surprise! It’s back. Full price.

M: Goddammit Nordstrom.

M: While we are goddamning Nordstrom, this blazer has been following me across the internet and it’s maybe the only thing I actually Want and it’s only available in small sizes:


A: Ugh, that is really cute.

M: It’s my color and a perfect Zoom outfit.

A: I mostly just want all the comfy athleisure.

A: Or maybe a roomy potato sack made from fleece.

M: I mostly want things that no longer exist like this stupid sweater blazer:


A: How many times have you attempted to order that?

M: I have ordered it 6 times.

M: Oh JCrew you ASSHOLES look what literally just showed up on Nordstrom Rack:


A: OH MY GOD

M: I am seeing red.

A: That’s why they kept cancelling on you - they sent them all to the Rack.

M: I’m probably going to buy it but I’m NOT HAPPY ABOUT IT.

A: I’d want to burn my store down if it hadn’t already closed, which I’m sad about because everything is confusing.

M: I am salty about it because it was $36 on JCrew.com and $70 on NR (which is still a good deal but SALTY.)

M: Other than that stupid blazer, the only thing I actively want are these pants, which I am 90% certain will not work on me, but apparently I have to learn this lesson in person:


A: Those pants follow me around the internet. Do it for science!

M: I am tall and curvy and there is NO WAY they will look good on me. And yet!

A: It says “loved and worn by all.”

A: (as long as you aren’t bigger than XL!)

M: 👎🏻

A: I am wearing my new joggers and they’re everything I want in an at-home pant.

A: It helps with the shopping malaise.

A: IT IS SEPTEMBER FIRST I SHOULD WANT THINGS.

M: Fall is a LIE.

A: I hate it. I hate pumpkin spice things.

M: I do love a candle.

A: I suppose, yes. That bougie fireplace candle might be my favorite.

M: Fall: good for candles and that’s it.

M: Anyway I feel like I should really have my eye on more than random blazers and Pants for Science.

A: Fall is also good for boots. Seriously contemplating if this is the year I go for a pair of Birkenstock boots. I just want them to be cute.

DO you? Or do you really want THIS:


A:  I do not. I do not want that.

M: But, cats.

A: I do not not not.

M: It's kind of cracking me up. Like I think it was designed BY CATS.

A: All the cats: YOU LIKE CAtS BUY THIS SHIRT IDIOT

M: I should buy the stupid leopard sweater blazer right.

A: Just buy it.

M: The NR product shot reminds me that I want a good faded perfectly fitting denim shirt.

A: Well, there you go.

M: That's a literal unicorn for someone with boobs and hips.

A: I'll bet you can find one that will be cancelled six times.

A: J.Crew has just the thing.

M: That's my skill.

A: Just get the cat shirt maybe.

M: CATS CATS CATS

  4. Marine Layer, right? I don't own any, I just see the ads everywhere. Do it for science!

  5. I got the bomber jacket at the N Sale and it's perfect. It's a light sweater weight, and I am so excited to wear it as a light layer over everything!

    1. I also have the leopard sweater blazer because I have an addiction, and it's also great but runs really large. Size down, then look so cute in your meetings. :)

  6. It's hotter than hell where I live, but I did buy a short sleeve sweater from J Crew in a Fall color. Also, I found a pair of jeans that are on Madewell's website for $135, on Neiman Marcus' website for $39. Same jeans, same wash. They're out of my comfort zone and I felt way better about spending $39.

  7. I kind of want that CATS shirt ...

  8. I love Marine Layer and am also tempted by those pants. I have the same style in black and I wear them all the time, though they're the older version (~3 years old?) and the updated version is supposed to be even better. But seriously, Marine Layer is the best. Their clothes are so comfortable!

  9. DAMMIT I didn't even know Birkenstock had boots. And even worse, THEY ARE CUTE! I know I will buy them at some point. Also, laughed out loud when I clicked on the cat shirt (for some reason, images on your site are no longer showing up).

  10. Somehow I managed to snag that J.Crew sweater/jacket on sale back in late spring and I love it. I've worn it with dresses, shorts, pants, and over my black slip nightgown to water the plants early morning (I dunno, maybe my neighbors view me as a Mrs. Roper type, but I don't care). I think I paid $80.00 for it, but I love it so much I think it's money well spent.

  11. I just bought the J Crew leopard sweater blazer from the rack, damnit. Here’s hoping it’s amazing.

  12. I paid full goddamn price for that leopard blazer. Back in the Before Times. And you know what, it's worth it. Turns out, it was the perfect overnight flight sweater. Big pockets you can stick your toothbrush and water bottle in to go try and do hygiene in a nasty airplane bathroom. I may never need it for this reason again, but the fact that it's got a print that covers up yogurt, coffee, AND wine spills and is warm and cozy makes it pretty great.
