Favorite Staples

While having tons of fall seasonal pieces are fun, it is always important to have a foundation of staple pieces, that look good during any season! Starting off with the Rachel Tanks, these tops are perfect for every outfit! Produced locally, these pieces are double-lined, buttery soft and stretchy, and perfectly flattering for every gal! And they are essential to complete your fall wardrobe! Next, a solid pair of wide leg denim is needed! Between buttery soft Sea Salt Hendrix, a classic hard denim Malibu Jeans, or the ultra-wide leg Holland Jeans, your denim for fall is set! And don't forget to include a jacket this season! Having a slim-fit denim jacket like the Fletcher Jacket is a great way to layer your looks with a flattering and comfortable piece!

Fave Tops

At the heart of a good fall closet are sweaters, sweaters, sweaters! And this fall, our launches are full of fun and cozy sweaters and long sleeves! And while we have dozens of new sweaters here at CJLA, there are a few that rise to the top of Carly's faves list! First, we have the Braelyn Sweater, which is a beautiful knit top! Designed with a crocheted look, muted colors, and a fun and flattering fit, this sweater will soon become one of your fall staples. Next, the Maren Sweater is the definition of plushy and cozy! The buttery soft knit feels like crushed velvet on the skin, and the beautiful fall tones make this layer ridiculously easy to wear! And last but so not least, we have the Charlie Sweater, which is like the pullover version of the Maren! Designed with that same plushy-soft material but with a darling and cozy drawstring hood. These three sweaters are essential for having a perfectly cozy and comfy fall closet!
