I just love the subtle styling of this sweater with 5% cashmere. Pretty scoopneck, blousey peasant style sleeves, and long enough for us tall gals in need of something cozy for the cold months.
Price: $68.00

Tired of hunting for jeans that don’t fit? Skip on over to True Jeans, take a few simple measurements, and the website will handpick dozens of jeans especially for you.
The prices are steeper than department store jeans, but the fit is worth it. Long inseams and multiple fits and styles to choose from!

Sometimes I purchase a coat from a regular department store and think I’ll have the (always) too-sleeves let out. I never quite get around to doing it, and thus, whenever I raise my arms to gesture or place my hands on the steering wheel, I get a cold draft on my exposed wrist.
Enter these genius extra long gloves I’ve been seeing this season. The extra long cuff makes up for too-short coat or jacket sleeves and leaves me feeling toasty warm.
Price: $16.50
