Real (approachable) Style Advice for Real (grown-up) Women with 

Real (smart) Budgets

Dear First name / friend,

 

Well, we’re through the first week of September, and I’ve started to accept that summer really is waning—though not gone completely. Being the glass-half-full girl I try to be (thank you, Mary❤️), I’ve decided to stop mourning the end of summer and instead embrace the things I love about fall: crisp, dry air, lighter traffic in town, football, and of course…fall clothes.

 

I’ve been moving my ultra-summery pieces out of my closet and bringing some early fall favorites out of storage—it feels like running into old friends. 

 

I’ve done some shopping too, but I’m trying to follow my own advice and resist the pull of impulse buys and extreme trend-chasing. 

 

Fall really is the hardest time of year to stay disciplined, which is why I’m here, ready to be your fairy godmother, helping you avoid the tempting noise out there. 

 

Read on for some fall style advice, including a 2017 flashback, a few makeup refresh finds, and a recipe (yes, from me!)

This week I wrote about a 2017 outfit I wore on repeat… and what it’s taught me about curating a fall wardrobe that feels fresh, relevant, and true to who you are now. (Here's the post.)

 

There’s no shame in what we wore years ago — it was fabulous at the time and we loved it. 

 

But just like we grow and evolve in life, our closets should reflect that too.

 

👉🏼 The Fall Style System eliminates confusion and decision-fatigue — so getting dressed feels modern, confident, and easy (without starting from scratch).

2. Is Your Closet Fall-Ready? 🍂

Before you buy a single new piece this season, I’ve got a simple Pre-Fall Closet Scavenger Hunt for you. It’s just 5 items — denim, a jacket(s), everyday flats, sneakers, and neutral layers — but they’re the perfect starting point for making your fall style simple, modern, and chic.

2. Your Ticket to Easier (and better) Fall 2025 Style:

I know, I know…these “exercises”  in your closet are not as fun as clicking “Add to Cart”… but trust me: you'll thank yourself (and me;) when you do these 5 smart things first.

 

Before you jump into fall shopping, take a few minutes to:

✅ Clear out what you’re not wearing

✅ Identify and organize your go-to fall basics

✅ See what’s missing

✅ Make the most of what you already own - practice creative outfit-making!

 

Because when your closet is edited and your go-to items are ready to roll, every outfit gets easier. You’ll waste less time, make better style choices, and yes—shop smarter too.

 

This week’s Tipsy Tuesday was all about these 5 Smart Steps to Take Control of Your Fall Wardrobe—and I’ve got two ways for you to catch it:

4. My Fall Make-Up Refresh

Yesterday I went to Sephora with my good friend Kim to give our fall make-up a little refresh. We had a great time, and Brian, the sales associate who helped us, was knowledgeable and helpful, and he gave us some great recommendations that felt realistic for everyday wear.

 

While my Seint compact is still my go-to favorite, I also love this easy everyday routine. I supplemented my current go-to products with a couple Brian suggested for a clean, no-fuss, polished fall look:

Now's a great time to clean those make-up brushes…I just did mine…This brush cleaner is MAGIC: 

RANDOM FIND 

A Cookie as Big as Your Head (but low sugar, high protein;)

Last but not least, a random find to share. My IG feed is overflowing with protein-packed snack recipes, and I’ve tried more than I care to admit. 

 

This one, though, is the only one I’ve actually made on repeat. It’s billed as a Crumbl cookie dupe…but let's be realistic…. I’ve never had a real Crumbl, and I highly doubt this version tastes nearly as good. 

 

But here’s the kicker: it clocks in at about 300 calories, is very low sugar, packs around 40 grams of protein, and it’s the size of your head (see my creation below). I think it's delish….you be the judge though;) 

 

I love the influencer who shared it—she’s adorable—but fair warning, she’s a classic millennial uptalker. So I’ll spare you the video and just drop the recipe below. 😉

Bake at 350 for approx 10-11 minutes. Enjoy! 

That's it for today. Thanks for being here… Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

 

Just hit reply to this email if you have any questions for me.

I love hearing from you! 

Have a great week ahead, and remember to #justgetdressed. ✅👍🏼
