These pants are soooo soft and breathable, and I think they’ll be so comfortable to wear on an active day. Upon inspection, they’re from a brand called Jamaica Bay, and they seem to specialize in tropical vacation-wear, but I’m impressed with the versatility of their basics!

These brown gauzey wide-leg pants with a thick elastic waistband are a dream. I could foresee these being a comfy choice for a travel day, but being honest, I think they’re cool enough to style up for a day out and about. Worn with a graphic tee, denim jacket, and some sandals or sneakers would be so cool.

Tessa told me she would be in Japan for Halloween, so when I spotted these orange corduroy pants, I thought they’d be a cute and festive item to style and wear without being too literal in giving her Halloween-themed apparel. 

I’ve said it once, I’ll say it a million more times, I love thrifting Loft for clients! The quality is excellent and the silhouettes are timeless. Based on my initial inspection, I’m inclined to believe these pants were never even worn. 

Sometimes, styling skirts can feel difficult if there’s nothing on the waistband, but this linen midi skirt has a faux wrap tie detail that makes it feel a little more special and easy to style.

Another linen skirt! This one has buttons down the front, pockets, and includes the original matching tie belt, which isn’t the most common thing to find secondhand. Huge win!

Because Tessa asked for some layerability in her bundle, I wanted to include a couple basic tank tops, starting with this really great scoop neck striped tank. 

Another basic tank, but better, because Madewell just gets it right. I’m convinced this tank top was never worn, because the shade of black is so rich and the ribbing shows no sign of stretch.

Overalls are so sought after and tough to find secondhand (in my usual digs, anyways) but finding this denim overall dress felt like a win! I think this would be so cute with a turtleneck underneath, a pair of tights, a chunky pair of boots, and a knit sweater or flannel on top. So cute!

This gauzey material is so underrated, in my opinion. It’s so soft that it’s almost spongey, making for optimal comfort. I think this would be super cute to wear open over a tank, buttoned up and french tucked, or the trendy middle few buttons buttoned and the bottom few buttons left open. 

You may be thinking “umm Tessa asked for comfortable, stretchy, and breathable. Why a denim jacket?” Well, this super cool cropped jacket certainly gives the look of your traditional denim jacket, but it is actually ultra stretchy and soft! 

Two things I don’t typically associate with one another – linen fabric and utility construction. I’ve gotta say, I LOVE the combo. The light fabric, drawstring hem, tortoise buttons, and enormous pockets, it all just works so well and it won’t take up much room in her suitcase!

I love the three-tiered knit pattern on this sweater. I think it has much more visual intrigue than a sweater with the same knit pattern throughout, and the color is really great!

There are few things more autumnal than a gingham print! I can see so many ways to accessorize and add to this dress, but something I loved was that it features some flattering ruching on the sides and sweet tie details on the sleeves that make the dress special all by itself. I would also consider wearing this open almost as a super lightweight duster jacket.

Another lightweight button-front win for Tessa’s bundle! This dress looks a little formal on its own, but I think with the right accessories, shoes, and potentially a jacket, it could be worn as an everyday dress. 

This has to be my favorite piece in Tessa’s bundle. It’s the coolest denim romper with a matching tie belt! It’s super stretchy and cozy and it looks incredibly badass. Of all the items, I hope she gets some good wear out of this one, because I know she’s going to look incredible in it.

What looks like your average black dress is actually a really lovely linen blend fit and flare dress with a sweetheart neckline with pockets! I see a lot of great versatility and comfort in this dress.

Where I lacked in finding proper overalls, I  made up for in jumpsuits. The fit of this jumpsuit is so sweet and the flutter sleeves are so beautiful. I’ve seen this exact jumpsuit worn as a wedding guest dress, and I think it certainly can be dressed up enough to be appropriate for the occasion, but I also find it to be very everyday wearable with a more casual shoe and less glitzy jewelry.

This has to be the ultimate fall piece – a long, soft, stretchy, cream-colored cardigan. I often find thin, scratchy cardigans while thrifting, so finding a cardigan this plush was so exciting.

Same story, different cardigan! It’s super soft, stretchy, and cozy, and it’ll be so nice to throw on top of an outfit for some warmth without having to opt for a stiff jacket. 

Okay this has to be my second favorite item in Tessa’s bundle! A flannel lined denim shacket?! What a dream. The denim button-down is incredibly cool all on its own, but adding the flannel lining will allow her to wear it far into autumn into early winter. Could not believe this was still on the rack when I picked it up!
