BEST SELLERS OF 2019

WOW what a year it has been!

Last year at my birthday celebration in January I talked about some of the things I hoped to accomplish with this blog to a group of my friends. I would have NEVER guessed the opportunities that have come my way this year. Every message of positivity and thanking me for showing clothes on a body like yours just has been overwhelming.

When I went through some of the top items of 2019 it was apparent that y’all LOVE some shopping! So instead of doing just a top 10 items I have decided to show you top items from the TOP 5 STORES you shop from so you can see your favorites from your favorite places!!

1. AMAZON

Let’s start with Amazon since that seems to be the number one retailer!  When I looked back at the most popular items many of the top 10 came from Amazon. In 2020 I have decided to do a monthly Amazon haul post so I can continue to share the stuff you love the most.

Also is you haven’t checked out my Amazon Storefront I update clothing but also have great gift giving and home lists, so bookmark this page!

1. From Crook to Cook: Platinum Recipes from Tha Boss Dogg’s Kitchen
2. mDesign Plastic Stackable Vertical Standing Water Bottle Holder
3. KORSIS Women’s Long Sleeve T-Shirt Dress & Short Sleeve T-Shirt Dress
4. ETCYY Cowl V- Neck Buttoned Knit Loose Fit Sweater Dress with Pocket
5. CIELO Women’s Long Sleeve Sweater Duster Cardigan
6. Lark & Ro Women’s Long Sleeve Gathered Blouse

When I told you I got this book for a white elephant gift but then wanted to keep it because the recipes looked so good it looks like you all needed it too Fo’Shizzle!

Apparently I was not the only one with a major water bottle storage issue! These plastic holders have been such a lifesaver I ended up buying 6!

I loved this dress in short sleeve so much that I also got it in long sleeve and LOVE both! It’s a perfect swing and has pockets. Fit Tips: size up, L

Cowl V-neck Dress // Boots tts

When I rounded up holiday Amazon dresses I thought for sure the lace green one would be your favorite but NOPE this super soft cowl neck with pockets was the clear winner! It does run a bit short but with leggings and tall boots is perfect through winter. Fit Tips: tts, L

This long, soft cardigan is the perfect layering piece! I wore it in early spring in tan then got another for fall in dark green. I have so many friends that bought this in multiple colors too! Fit Tips: size up, L

Blouse | Slim Work Pants (SIMILAR) | Cardigan | Black Jeans | Pumps

This is another one of those tops that is perfect for work or weekend. With the subtle leopard print it’s no wonder it made the top 5. I love that it has a good flow and it lightweight. Fit Tips: tts, 10 (see the rest of the outfit fit tips in this post)

2. NORDSTROM

Seeing Nordstrom so high on the list makes me so joyful! For years it’s been my favorite place to shop for work clothes, gifts, my kids basically I can go to Nordstrom every day and be in my happy place (also their cafe Cesar salad is also the bomb so I don’t even have to leave for lunch).

This year I had some INCREDIBLE opportunities to partner with one of my favorite brands Gibson Look on several of their collaboration launches. Y’all also loved these pieces and bought them EARLY in the morning like I did before they sold out. Now in the top 6 there is just the v-neck sequin top but if I counted top 10 all the rest pretty much are Gibson! Also since many of you purchased multiple items I can only see what was linked to so I know there was MUCH more purchased that what I see on an individual product basis.

1. Madewell Ryder Stripe Cardigan Sweater (sold out) similar here
2. Madewell Whisper Cotton V-Neck Pocket Tee
3. All in Favor Knit Maxi Dress (sold out) similar here
4. KUT from the Kloth Donna Ripped & Distressed Ankle Skinny Jeans (almost sold out) unripped option here
5. Gibson x Hi Sugarplum! Holiday Confetti Double V-Neck Tank
6. Velvet Sheath Cocktail Dress

Cardigan | Cami | Spanx Jeggings | Similar Booties

This Madewell cardigan from the NSale this summer was an instant hit, the only problem is it sold out so quickly. Then a few weeks later it went on sale again (for less!) it’s sold out now but found a few similar on sale still. Fit Tips: runs large size down for more fitted look, in M

So I have about 7 Madewell v-neck tees that I LOVE (even 2 in white) and realized I have very few pictures in them! You all love this basic tee as much as I do because any time they go on sale y’all grab a ton! Fit Tips: tts, M

This classic maxi dress I styled 3 ways this summer and you all needed it too! Unfortunately it’s sold out right now but this style has tended to come back year after year (another reason I love it!) Fit Tips: true to size (check the size guide), L

One of the greatest opportunities came with helping Cassie from Hi Sugarplum launch her holiday collection with Gibson Look. This entire outfit was HIGH on the top sellers of the year list. See the full outfit and all the looks from that collection here. Fit Tips: top tts, M // jeans size down if in-between, 10

This stunning velvet dress I bought last year (and wore to the nutcracker) and when I told y’all it was back you needed it too! It’s form fitting but stretchy and soft so the best kind of body-con dress. The length is perfect at 5’5 and I love a 3/4 sleeve. Fit tips: size up, 12

3. TARGET

Target made it high on the list because of two workwear capsules that still tend to be the highest viewed content on the blog (here & here). It’s also not a surprise that 5 of the top 6 items came from capsule posts.

Although the top slot is actually a tie between one of the TOP holiday presents and the blouse… go figure we are a whole lot of moms that like to make our girls happy too!

Click on image to shop item:

1. Rolled Cuff Sleeveless Crewneck Blouse (sold out)
2. Fujifilm Instax Mini 9 Camera
3. Lanae Microsuede Heeled Scrunch Riding Boots (mostly sold out)
4. Leopard Print Short Sleeve Round Neck Crepe T-Shirt (sold out)
5. Crewneck Pullover Sweater With Pearl Buttons (sold out)
6. Turtleneck Ribbed Sweatshirt

This top is from the Fall workwear capsule and with the buttons down the back it became an instant winner, but alas like many of the Target items it is now out of stock. Fit tips: tts, M

Boots are nearly sold out but I LOVE them and wore them constantly in fall (and now) here was a look from my fall getaway capsule. Fit Tips: tts

This leopard top was the perfect fall edition but EVERYONE loved it and it sold out pretty quickly. I love a great Target blouse and seems like y’all do too! See the entire capsule here. Fit Tips: size up for larger chest, L

This sweater was such a great find earlier this winter and you all loved it too but unfortunately it’s now sold out. Click here to see the full capsule post that this top was part of. Fit Tips: tts, M

This top comes from the winter workwear capsule where I showed all neutral pieces. For the entire post click here Fit Tips: Turtleneck runs small, sized up to L

4. SOMA

I think we all feel better with great underwear and bras! This year that was CLEAR with the amount of SOMA that you loved. I don’t blame you because I love it too! Plus they do some incredible sales so here were the top products sold.

Click on image to shop item:

1. Vanishing Edge Panties
2. Embraceable Panties
3. Vanishing Strapless Bra

Sorry to disappoint but this is all the IRL pictures you are getting of me in my Soma! I love these pjs and seriously have like 5 sets now, they are silky soft and breathe really well. Fit Tips: size down if in-between, M

These are my favorite Soma bras which funny enough these EXACT styles didn’t make the top 5 but I wanted to mention them for sizing. Geo racerback fits very similar to the Vanishing back 360, size up in cup size these tend to run a little smaller in the cup.

Vanishing Back Full Coverage Bra (my favorite wired bra) tts

THE #1 SELLER OF 2019… VANISHING EDGE PANTIES!!

Vanishing Edge Panties are my favorite for the silicone grippers on the rear to help keep them in place. I bought a ton for me and my mom this year. The Vanishing Edge retro brief & Microfiber High Leg Brief are my two go to styles (both fit tts, L)

5. LOFT

LOFT has to be one of my favorites for affordable work/ weekend pieces. So many of you have told be that you LOVE the capsules I have done each season with LOFT items and it shows because you buy A LOT of them! LOFT is also a great place to grab an occasion dress without breaking the bank like the shirred wrap and sequin bow back dresses.

Click on image to shop item:

1. Luxe Knit Cowl Neck Tunic Sweater
2. Shirred Wrap Dress
3. Garden Ruffle Neck Swing Dress
4. Sequin Bow Back Dress
5. Garden Tie Neck Flounce Top (low sizes)

It’s no wonder this cowl neck is the #1 item sold it’s my favorite! I have it in multiple colors and wear them ALL THE TIME! It’s the perfect weight, length and softness. Check out all these looks from the Fall Weekend Getaway Capsule Fit Tips: tts, M

I got this dress last year and when they brought it back again this year y’all went crazy for it! Good news is it’s still in stock if you need a cute long sleeve option for winter! Fit Tips: tts, 10

This dress was my go-to in early fall because it’s lightweight and flowy yet still has a greta fall print. I wore this to a baby shower, on trips and holidays! Fit Tips: runs loose and flowy, M

A sequin dress with pockets… need I say more?! Fit Tips: size down if in-between, I’m in a 10

This top was my favorite from the Fall Weekend Getaway post because of the colors and lightweight flow. It’s on MAJOR sale now and great for spring too! Fit Tips: tts, M

**Edited as I’m writing this post y’all have bought CRAZY amounts of LOFT pants when they all went to $20, it would have made the top 5 ALL PANTS! It also would have moved LOFT to #3 spot of retailers so just know there WILL be more LOFT to come in 2020. Since I linked categories it was hard to tell which styles you loved exactly so here are the top three.

Here are the top categories sold:

1. Trouser Pant
2. Leggings
3. Skinny Ankle Pants
