Weekend Reading 09.27.25

Our short road trip this week allowed the flooring project to be almost finished without me losing any more of my mind than necessary.

And yes, you do see me wearing leopard print. I own a bag, belt, shoes, and this blouse (from the closet archives) in animal print. My shirt is ancient, but a favorite because it’s a cool-toned taupe. This is what I wore for a day of dressing room try-ons that lasted about 6+ hours. Also..I updated my leggings post because I’m seeing TONS of them at retailers this fall. If you love them, you’ll find plenty.

What you loved this week…the bestsellers

• This Cinched Waist Cardigan was a huge bestseller. I tried it on in brown this week and loved it! The gray is in my cart…I had to size up.
• It must be cardigan season because this Chico’s cardigan was very popular this week.
• You ladies loved these Talbots stretch flare leg corduroy pants! I don’t know what colors you ordered, but my fav is the portobello shade.
• Another bestseller is this Talbots Coatigan, which is really just a cozy, thick cardigan in disguise 🙂
• Many of you ladies also ordered this U Beauty Duo, which I brought with me (in the small size) while traveling this week. You can save 20% with the code AWSL20 at checkout.
