I don’t know what it is about striped pants right now, but they are everything. They’re super soft and have a great stretch in the waistband, and I know Abby is going to look SO cool in these. 

I thrifted this super soft Ann Taylor leather shoulder bag a few months ago, thinking I would add it to my own purse rotation, but I soon discovered I am simply not a shoulder bag girl. I held on to this bag because it was so special, hoping I could gift it to a client or friend who expressed interest in a new purse. When Abby expressed interest in a couple of new purses for her bundle, I thought this was a great opportunity to give this stunning bag a new home.

My goal was to find one black and one brown bag for Abby, but when I saw this perfect maroon shoulder bag, I knew I needed to add it to Abby’s bundle (and it was half-price that day!). It’s dark, sleek, and is the quintessential leather shoulder bag, in my opinion.

As dark as Abby’s bundle is, it was vital that there was a light element included in her bundle, and the most creative way I thought to accomplish that without saddling her with bright colors was to add sparkle. This sheer Brandy Melville mesh top has a subtle sparkle to it and the sweetest scalloped hems.

It’s a scientific fact that Abby looks amazing in white. When I found this sheer lace tee shirt in Abby’s size, it was a no-brainer. I think this would look incredible with a cherry-red bralette underneath.

This top is one of my personal favorites of the whole bundle. I love the simple tie enclosure, the durable ribbed material, and the sweet, feminine cut of the cardigan (which is a term I would use loosely for this top, but in many ways, it fits the cardigan classification).

Business in the front, party in the back. This unsuspecting plain black tee has a really cool cutout/tie situation in the back that brings so much visual interest to something so otherwise classically plain. 

The shape of this faux leather corset-style tube top is so beautiful. I love that it’s a pointed, sharper take on a classic sweetheart neckline, adding an extra layer of edginess that I just know Abby is going to rock the hell out of.

In an effort to not lock Abby into a bundle that’s exclusively sexy and edgy, I added this super soft knot front crop top to allow her to put together outfits that feel sweet, flowy, and light while sticking to the primarily black color scheme of the overall bundle.

Oh. My. Goodness. This knit crop top rocked my world, and I secretly hoped I’d find another for myself because it’s SO cool. I did some research on it and discovered there are matching bike shorts, but it doesn’t look quite as cool as just the crop top, in my opinion. I could see this crop top with some white or black (or even split tone) high-waisted wide-leg trousers.

Something stylistically that I really admire about Abby is her ability and willingness to try. This sheer 14th & Union tee could go the way of a mini dress, oversized tee, or even a simple bathing suit cover-up. 

This is not your ordinary Jerry Seinfeld puffy shirt. This H&M top features long puff sleeves with a square neckline and smocking on the arms. In my opinion, this is the most “wildcard” item of the bundle, but if anyone can make this top look beautiful and special, it’s Abby. 

I can’t tell you how close I came to hanging this vest in my own closet. The pearlescent buttons, durable construction, shiny silver threads, and tie-back detail all come together so beautifully in this vest. While it’s not an item that screams “Look at me,” this is a piece that will catch your eye in the right light. Even in an otherwise all-black outfit, this vest will shine bright. 

An edgy and playful take on the classic little black dress – this faux leather mini dress with a full-zip front is a very fun addition to Abby’s bundle for spring and summer. 

This midi ribbed jersey material dress from H&M had all the elements in a dress I was after for Abby. It’s fitted, has flattering cutouts, and is black. I truly can’t wait to see her in this dress!

In another effort to not lock Abby into a completely sexy and sheer bundle, I found this gorgeous, playful, and sparkly ASOS mini dress and thought it would be so much fun for Abby to have in her wardrobe for a special occasion. As a surprise to me, the crushed velvet is heavy, durable, and surprisingly great quality!

The shape, the durability of the fabric, the stretch, the cut, the mermaid hemline, I cannot get over this dress. I hope this dress will be so comfortable and versatile that she’s able to wear it all spring and summer long.

Another business in the front, party in the back piece! This time, it’s a classic black maxi dress with a tasteful back cutout, allowing for some great versatility. This dress could easily be thrown on with a pair of sandals for a casual look or dressed up with some nice jewelry and a pair of heels for a nice night out.

Last year, Abby expressed interest in wearing a sheer black maxi dress for her 30th birthday, but every single one we found was either just not it or way too expensive (it all worked out because she looked like a million bucks in a white dress on her birthday). When I found this dress, I thought, “Wow, if only we had seen this like seven months ago!” and I just knew I wanted to add it to her bundle to give her a chance to get still the look she was after last year, even if it is several months late. Something I really like about this dress is the ruched sides, which I’m confident will be so flattering on Abby, accentuating her beautiful figure.
