What I’ve Recently Ordered
I know how aggravating it can be when you see someone wearing a gorgeous piece of clothing, and it is something no longer available for purchase. Isn’t that the worst? You’re not the only one who struggles with that issue because I follow other bloggers, and I might love something but can’t buy it for myself. So, every once in a while, when I have a lot of clothing on order, I like to give you a heads-up because it could be a long time before it hits the blog. Other times, it is sold out before I can even take photos, so it might never be on the blog. Here is what I’ve recently ordered for fall, and you at least have a chance to grab items for yourself.
Quince
You’ve heard me mention Quince quite a lot lately, but I’ve been purchasing items from them for well over a year. I love their 365 return policy which is almost unheard of nowadays. I have branched out to their handbags and towels, and now I’ve branched out into a few more items. Here’s what is on the way to my house right now.
Here are a few things that I already own from Quince and I still love and wear. Quince does run on the smaller side, so if you’re in between sizes, I recommend sizing up. I usually wear a large in their clothing.
J.Crew Factory
J.Crew Factory is a brand that offers quality clothing at a discounted price. They’ve been a retailer that I’ve purchased from for years, and I’ve always been happy with my items. The poncho in the widget below is one I ordered in Olive, and it has already sold out in that color.
J.Jill
Oooh, I do love J.Jill’s clothing. They have great quality clothing and basics that will last for a long time. I also love their Wearever line that is perfect for traveling without looking like you just rolled out of bed. The only thing I’ve wished they had more of was colorful clothing. The new fall arrivals have answered my request. Here are some things I have on order, and I’ve already shown a gorgeous plaid shirt and water-resistant jacket in my Rainy Day Items post.
Talbots
I probably don’t have to tell you that Talbot’s is my husband’s favorite retailer for me to wear. He would dress me in head-to-toe Talbots if he would. Lol! I love Talbots clothing too, and I mainly choose classic pieces that will last me for years. Here are items from my latest purchase.
Walmart
Walmart was never a store that I considered a clothing retailer. I would occasionally buy a t-shirt or workout clothing from there, but not much more. However, they have really done a great job of turning Walmart Fashion into a store that I shop from regularly. Here are some things on order, and be sure to watch for Monday’s post, where I’ll have more styles showcased there.
Amazon
Like Walmart, Amazon was a retailer that I never associated with clothing. Instead, they were the retailer that I went to for hard to find items that I couldn’t get at my local stores. Boy, oh boy, have they turned things around!!! If I don’t get at least one box from Amazon every day, I begin to worry that my delivery person is sick.
Whenever you SHARE my posts on PINTEREST, INSTAGRAM, YOUTUBE, AND FACEBOOK, it helps other ladies who might be style-challenged to find my blog. I appreciate every one of you, and I consider you a friend.

You will get a daily email reminder from me alerting you when a new blog post has gone live. And, occasionally, a “special” email will hit your inbox, so watch for those!

I need wide width in shoes. Thanks for showing the shoes from Walmart that come in wide. Now I can get some cute shoes for fall!
I love J.Jill and J.Crew clothes as well. But you’re really inspiring me to look more on Amazon for basics. You’ve found so many great choices. And I’m glad to know you like Quince. I’ve seen their ads frequently but wondered about the quality since the cashmere is so affordable compared to other companies. BTW, if you keep all these clothes, it’s no wonder your family loves to come shop your closet, LOL!
I don’t keep them ALL but enough to warrant a visit for sure. 🙂 Quince is less expensive so they are a bit thinner, but I think they’re great value for the money.
I really love Amazon Essentials clothing. So far I’m very happy with the quality and price point is great too!
Thanks for sharing so many great items from numerous stores/sites.
Your ‘What I’ve Recently Ordered’ storyboard is gorgeous, so rich in color and texture. I’m getting so giddy for fall 😊 !!
You’ve made me want to try ordering from Quince (already order from the other ones)!
I love that wreath. You’ve shown some very nice options for cooler weather.
Thanks for the tip Quince sizes may run small, may save me ordering the wrong size.
I love your wreath! It really is a fall wreath – looks “harvesty.” I follow a few blogs for women over 40 and I love yours the best – I think you have such great taste and many of the clothing items and retailers are ones that I shop for and shop at. As for today’s post, wowww….the color of the cashmere tank and cardigan are to die for. I love that color for the fall. The other items are also so pretty. Thank you for sharing! I need to update my wardrobe for the fall and you gave me great ideas. Have a good weekend!
Thanks so much, Rosalie. I hope you have a great weekend!
Dear Tania,
I really enjoy your blog and look forward to it every day. There is a topic I have not seen you address that I am curious about. I know that you do not keep every item that you order. How do you go about deciding what to keep and what to purge. I have a problem with keeping my wardrobe to a manageable size. I do go through my clothing a few times a year, try things on, and try to purge. However, I find myself, for instance, trying on a skirt I have not worn in a couple of years and thinking, “That’s a pretty fabric; I have tops to coordinate with it, maybe I should keep it and convince myself to wear it.” I keep it and again do not wear it. I am currently trying a bit of the Marie Kondo approach. I am separating clothes into “love it”, “okay”, and “give away” categories. I am trying hard to only allow things I really love to stay in my wardrobe, but I really struggle with this! Right now I am letting the “okay” clothes linger to see if I am really ready to part with them or not. I have rescued two pieces in the last couple of days from this month’s culling. Maybe I need to take an “out of sight, out of mind” approach to the “okay” clothing. What is your approach??
Kathy, when I decide what to keep, I look at fit first, and then at if I already have something similar to it in my closet. If I do, then I decide which I like the most and will wear the most. When you have an okay pile, put everything in a section of your closet. You can keep it there for a year (so all the seasons roll around). If you wear something, hang it back in your regular closet. At the end of the time, anything that is still hanging there needs to go.
