SHELBI’S SNAKESKIN BOOTIES
We lovvvved the look of these booties… but TBH, Shelbi & I hated the fit.

Sizing: Tried TTS, but they hurt….

Pricing: on sale for $89, after sale $135
SHELBI’S CROPPED SWEATER
This is definitely more of a fun, trendy piece than closet staple but every girl needs a few of those! It’s definitely very cropped so do keep that in mind.
Sizing: size up, wearing an S
Pricing: on sale for $29, after sale $50
SHELBI’S JEANS
If you are a Topshop jean lover, these are for you! Topshop caters really well to curvy girls as their jeans are very stretchy and hug in all of the right places. I personally love their jeans for date nights or girl’s nights out.

SHELBI’S BLOCK HEEL BOOTIES
These white block heel booties are most definitely going to be one of the BIGGEST sellers of #NSale, so grab them while you can! Easy to style and super comfy, you can’t beat the price tag.

Cute little colorblock mock neck sweater. It has pink and neutral tones so really could be styled with a lot of pieces!
Sizing: runs a little small, wearing a 6
Pricing: on sale for $39, after sale $68
KELI’S JEANS
These name brand jeans certainly do good things for the booty but they didn’t do good things for the knee area as they created almost a “knee fat” illusion if they are too tight/small so just beware!
Sizing: run a little small, wearing a 24
Pricing: on sale for $146, after sale $220
KELI’S BOOTIES
I was pleasantly surprised to see these Tory Burch booties in the sale this year because you know that’s a designer brand that rarely goes on sale and these booties are so cute! They also come in black.
Sizing: true to size
Pricing: on sale for $249, after sale $398
SHELBI’S DRESS
*HIGH RISK OF SELLING OUT* If you remember the popular Leith sweater dress from last year that sold out day one, well this is this year’s version and it’s even better! It’s super stretchy, form fitting and very flattering! Also comes in black and can be worn forwards or backwards.
Sizing: size up if in between sizes, wearing an XS but could have done a S
Pricing: on sale for $45, after sale $69
SHELBI’S MILITARY JACKET

Pricing: on sale for $124, after sale $198
SHELBI’S BOOTIES
While I feel like these will be coined a “top seller”, I have to say they unfortunately do not hit your ankle bone in a comfortable way:/
Sizing: runs true to size
Pricing: on sale for $99, after sale $149
KELI’S TEE SHIRT

Sizing: runs true to size, wearing an XS
Pricing: on sale for $11, after sale $19
KELI’S JEANS
My jaw dropped when I saw the price on these jeans. They are a total STEAL! For $28, they are hard to go wrong. They are super stretchy so if you are in between sizes, size down as they do tend to stretch out with wear!
Sizing: runs true to size, wearing an 25
Pricing: on sale for $28, after sale $39

KELI’S SNEAKERS
These remind me of an upgraded Keds! They are cute and sporty with a touch of fun color detail. I’d say they are meant for a somewhat narrow foot as they were a little tight on me.
Sizing: if in between sizes size up
Pricing: on sale for $49, after sale $75
SHELBI’S JACKET
If you are looking for an affordable suede moto jacket, this is the one for you! It’s considerably cheaper than the popular BlankNYC one and honestly just as good plus comes in more color options! For my girls with long arms you are going to want to size up!
Sizing: true to size, wearing an XS
Pricing: on sale for $76, after sale $118

I own these in so many colors and get a ton of use out of them! Great basic layering pieces.

SHELBI’S JEANS
Y’all know I’m a Levi’s girl so I was happy these jeans were in the sale and also that they have some stretch since a lot of Levi’s are true denim. The dark wash will be perfect for the cooler weather months.

Pricing: on sale for $63, after sale $

Sizing: true to size, wearing an XS
Pricing: on sale for $76, after sale $118
KELI’S TANK

Sizing: true to size, wearing an XS

KELI’S JEANS
These remind me of a similar jean from BlankNYC but much more affordable! Leopard is sticking around for Fall and these would be so cute paired with even a basic tee now!

Pricing: on sale for $38, after sale $59
*same outfit, different jackets*
SHELBI’S FAUX LEATHER JACKET
For a BlankNYC jacket, I’d say this price point is a steal! The quality is a little stiff so it would take some breaking in but the color is beautiful and will go with so many Fall outfits!
Sizing: true to size, wearing a XS
Pricing: on sale for $56, after sale $98
KELI’S FAUX LEATHER JACKET
*HIGH RISK OF SELLING OUT* I was shocked when I saw the price tag on this baby because the quality is so dang good. This is one of those faux leather jackets that you could wear to the bar and not have to worry about someone spilling on it but is also nice enough to wear to a fancy dinner outing!
Sizing: true to size
Pricing: on sale for $49, after sale $88
SHELBI’S BRAMI
*HIGH RISK OF SELLING OUT* Pieces like this are always flying off the shelves especially because it’s an item you can wear now. And yes I’m talking about in quarantine with your sweats or dressed up!
Sizing: size up, wearing a S
Pricing: on sale for $18, after sale $29
SHELBI’S MILITARY JACKET
Madewell always puts this same style in the sale every year and it’s a good one for sure! I’m sad that they don’t have it in the basic green this year, but if camo is your thing, it’s certainly a great quality jacket!
Sizing: true to size, wearing an XS
Pricing: on sale for $89, after sale $138
SHELBI’S JEANS
These jeans were actually a favorite of mine that I think all of my petite girls need! The price point is great and also where they hit. I’m 5’4″ and they hit right above the ankle.
Sizing: size down, wearing an 24
Pricing: on sale for $44, after sale $69
SHELBI’S SNEAKERS
If you are need of a staple white sneaker, look no further! Both of us loved these. The leather laces don’t need to be tied so they can just be pulled right on plus have a platform on them!
Sizing: true to size
Pricing: on sale for $49, after sale $84
KELI’S TEE SHIRT
*HIGH RISK OF SELLING OUT* This is one of those basic tees you need to buy in ALL of the colors. It’s the softest basic tee in an NSALE yet! If you plan on throwing it in the dryer I would size up!
Sizing: runs true to size, wearing an XS
Pricing: on sale for $11, after sale $19
KELI’S TRUCKER JACKET
This black wash denim jacket fits a little oversized so I’d say it’s more of a trendy item than staple piece but if that’s what you are going for, rock it gf!
Sizing: fits oversized but runs TTS, wearing a S
Pricing: on sale for $44, after sale $69
KELI’S JEANS
These almost look like a jean meets a jogger. They have the feel of a thin jean but look of a tight jogger with a drawstring.

KELI’S SNEAKERS
Both of our favorite sneakers from the sale! They are super fun and a more affordable option than Golden Goose plus these have a platform on them.
