I Shop for a Living—40 Finds From Madewell, COS, and Free People I Can't Wait to Wear This Winter
Due to the nature of my job, I am constantly searching, discovering, bookmarking, saving, and of course, sharing the chicest seasonal fashion finds on the market with you, dear readers. With fall in full swing and winter on the horizon, I'm specifically looking for plush, cozy, and fashion-forward pieces to add to my cold-weather wardrobe, because let's be honest, staying sartorially inspired once the temps hit below 40 is not always an easy feat.
Luckily, I've found a handful of gorgeous finds from some of my favorite retailers (Madewell, COS, and Free People) this month that I can't wait to share—and wear—this winter. From elegant coats to cozy crew neck sweaters, and luxe-looking accessories, keep scrolling below for the chic and easy pieces that will help you welcome in winter in style.
