Fall Wish List: Madewell Edition

A few days ago the New Arrivals for Fall on Madewell came out! I have previously posted the look book for Fall a while back, but now the styles are available for purchase. Pretty exciting! Here are a few of my top favorites...I want, I want, I want...

Perfect Chambray Ex-Boyfriend Shirt - I have mentioned this before, so maybe it isn't so "new". Everyone needs a great chambray shirt and how can you not love that it's your "ex-boyfriends"?

Shapestripe Tee - You know by now I am obsessed with stripes. I love the faded stripes and the slouchy fit, I love the sleeve length.

Salt & Pepper Slouch Pants - Love the name again! I am all about pants this fall and slouch pants in particular (though its key though that there is still a slim fit). Who doesn't need pants with polka dots on them?
 Leather Soundstage Shorts - How many times do I really need to say I want leather shorts (or more likely with my budget faux leather shorts)? Paired with some tights you can wear these through fall, winter, and spring.

Striped Lampost Sweater Dress - Stripes all over, enough said. Not to mention that sweater dresses are always unbelievably comfortable. You will live in your sweater dresses. People will start to comment "Didn't you just wear that?" Yes, yes you did.

Blue, Black & Shades of Grey


My dream Fall wish list...I tried to not make it all Rag & Bone. It was difficult though.

Can't Have Enough

The hunt for the perfect denim/chambray shirt has been going on for a few years for me now. I have purchased a few. One is a longer tunic style button up chambray shirt and the other a button up denim with a more fitted and shorter cut. I love them both and they are wardrobe staples for sure. This hasn't satisfied my want for another one though. As you will come to find I like to buy similar things over and over again. If you like something though, why not get a few versions of it! Hey, I know what I like.

Recently I have made a few trips to the Madewell store and found several of the employees wearing this shirt:

Its called the "Perfect Chambray Shirt" and I have to agree with the title. I love the boyfriend fit and the light wash. Given, yes of course the sales girls were wearing it. I have worked retail and you usually have a discount that you use often because you are surrounded by the clothing all day and you just end up buying things to wear to work. Or there is a dress code that requires you to wear the store's products only. However, if you work at clothing store you usually know which products are the best since you are around them all the time and have probably tried them all on.  I was also at the Guggenheim Museum the other day and saw 2 girls wearing it there too!

This shirt is on my must have list for sure. If you need to have it for yourself right now check it out here:
