New in at Everlane: Sock Boots, Fleece, and Corduroy

September 16, 2019

I’m going to keep this intro brief because I may go into labor at any point as I write this (if you’re new to my blog, I’m 38.5 weeks pregnant with a baby boy), and I want to make sure I’m able to hit publish and get this into your hands.

Why?

There have been SO many good releases this month and I wanted to give you a peek into what’s new at Everlane for September. I’m sharing the pieces that stood out to me the most, and I think you’ll love as well.

I’m still going to review each piece I have for you guys, but I’m going to do it in bullet list form. K?

Let’s get to it!

For your reference: my pre pregnancy size was a S/4 and I wear a size 9 Shoe… I’m 5’5″ and I weighed between 130-140 lbs.

Also, these pieces from Everlane were gifted (with the exception of the lantern top) so that I could provide this review for you. This post is not sponsored, but I do make a commission if you purchase something through the links in this post.

The Glove Boot ReKnit in Toffee, Size 9:

  • brown glove boot, cognac boot, reknit boot, everlane boot, glove boot
  • brown glove boot, cognac boot, reknit boot, everlane boot, glove boot
  • brown glove boot, cognac boot, reknit boot, everlane boot, glove boot
  • brown glove boot, cognac boot, reknit boot, everlane boot, glove boot
  • brown glove boot, cognac boot, reknit boot, everlane boot, glove boot

The Glove Boot comes in 5 colors (black, brown, white, red, and blue), sizes 5-11, and retails for $155.

Thoughts:

  • SO comfy. Soft, stretchy, but yet they hug your foot in a super supportive way. They are a true sock boot.
  • The heel is easy to walk in. It’s a nice stacked heel so it’s very supportive, and it doesn’t dig into your heel after a few hours of walking.
  • True to size, but if you want to wear them with thick socks then size up.
  • The ribbed detail on the fabric (which is recycled polyester) is a really nice touch. It makes them look more luxe than some of the neoprene versions I’ve seen out there.
  • The material is thick enough that I’m not worried about it stretching out.
  • These should fit a wide variety of ankle sizes because the fabric is stretchy. It stays snug, but there’s definitely room for the boots to give quite a bit.

The Silky Cotton Lantern Top in Golden Palm, Size 4

  • new in at everlane, yellow blouse, mustard colored top, balloon sleeve top, everlane blouse, cotton blouse
  • yellow blouse, mustard colored top, balloon sleeve top, everlane blouse, cotton blouse
  • new in at everlane, yellow blouse, mustard colored top, balloon sleeve top, everlane blouse, cotton blouse
  • yellow blouse, mustard colored top, balloon sleeve top, everlane blouse, cotton blouse
  • new in at everlane, yellow blouse, mustard colored top, balloon sleeve top, everlane blouse, cotton blouse

The Silky Cotton Lantern Top comes in 5 colors (off white, terracotta, yellow, black, and blue), sizes 00-16, and retails for $55

Thoughts:

First of all, this isn’t technically a new release, but I just got it in and loved it so I wanted to share.

  • The yellow color is a really pretty sunshine, golden color. It’s not mustard or a true bright yellow.
  • The balloon sleeve is a nice subtle version of the trend, and there’s a really pretty decorative seam, and pleating around the cuff that give the shirt a little bit more interest.
  • The v-neck should work for most bust sizes. It’s not too deep, but it’s deep enough to show off your collarbones. Plus you have the option to unbutton if you want a little more va va voom.
  • It hits me at about hip level. For long torsoed ladies, I would suggest ordering a tall because I am very short torsoed.
  • The sleeves hit about six inches above my wrists so it’s technically more of a 3/4 length sleeve.
  • The buttons are nice and thick so they shouldn’t chip or break.
  • It’s true to size. I ordered my normal size 4 and it fits perfectly.

The Corduroy Chore Jacket in Pink, Size XS

  • corduroy jacket, fall corduroy, pink corduroy, pink jacket, blush jacket, chore jacket
  • new in at everlane, corduroy jacket, fall corduroy, pink corduroy, pink jacket, blush jacket, chore jacket
  • corduroy jacket, fall corduroy, pink corduroy, pink jacket, blush jacket, chore jacket
  • new in at everlane, corduroy jacket, fall corduroy, pink corduroy, pink jacket, blush jacket, chore jacket
  • new in at everlane, corduroy jacket, fall corduroy, pink corduroy, pink jacket, blush jacket, chore jacket

The Corduroy Chore Jacket comes in 3 colors (for some reason, my blush color is not currently on the website, but it comes in navy, off white, and a mustardy brown color), sizes XXS to XL, and retails for $75

Thoughts:

  • The jacket hits me right at my hips, and has a boxier fit.
  • The sleeves hit just below my wrists.
  • The corduroy is thin enough that the sleeves roll up easily, but it’s not thin enough to be considered a “shacket.” I would say it’s as thin as a lightweight denim jacket.
  • I like the monochrome buttons. It lends to a more minimal design which I appreciate.
  • It’s a medium width corduroy so the texture of the fabric really stands out, even from a distance.
  • I sized down to an XS, and the fit is perfect. If you want to fit bulkier sweaters underneath stay true to size.

Eco Teddy Fleece Liner in Oatmeal, Size XS

  • new in at everlane, fleece jacket, fall fleece, fleece jacket outfit, neutral fleece, everlane fleece
  • fleece jacket, fall fleece, fleece jacket outfit, neutral fleece, everlane fleece
  • new in at everlane, fleece jacket, fall fleece, fleece jacket outfit, neutral fleece, everlane fleece
  • fleece jacket, fall fleece, fleece jacket outfit, neutral fleece, everlane fleece
  • new in at everlane, fleece jacket, fall fleece, fleece jacket outfit, neutral fleece, everlane fleece

The Eco Teddy Fleece Liner comes in three colors (navy, oatmeal, and rust), sizes XXS-XL, and retails for $68.

Thoughts:

  • It has a boxier fit, and hits right at hip level.
  • The nice edging detail and monochrome buttons make it look a bit dressier than your average fleece jacket. It’s marketed as a liner, but I think it would be nice worn like a blazer type jacket.
  • It’s lightweight, but it is warm. It’s perfect for layering, but it would also work as a lightweight jacket in cooler weather.
  • It’s a thin fleece so it would work layered under a bulkier coat to lend extra warmth for those really cold days.
  • The sleeves are a bit long. They hit me right above my thumbs.
  • It has nice, big decorative pockets which I think really elevate the overall look of the jacket.
  • I sized down to an XS. Again, if you plan to wear bulkier sweaters underneath I would stay true to size.

In these photos I’m also wearing this dress from storq (gifted) (review here), a thrifted eileen fisher tunic, these maternity pants from Isabella Oliver (gifted), these sneakers from Everlane (gifted) (review here), and these earrings from Madewell.

And that’s it for this month! I hope you guys enjoyed this sneak peak into what’s new at Everlane for September… I also hope you guys are having an excellent September so far. Has the weather cooled down where you’re at? It definitely has for us and I’m here for it!

We’ll see if baby comes tonight. 😉

    I keep checking in to find out when you have your baby! Haha.
    I like the idea of nice looking, warm liners. I have an old Uniqlo collarless lightweight quilted jacket that I use for the same purpose, and it really helps me carry some of my favorite fall jackets into early winter. This fleece one is cute.
    I love the idea of the chore jacket but sadly a boxy jacket that hits at the hip is not a good look on my 5’2” pear shaped frame. If they came out with a cropped version I’d love it!

      I wish I would have had a liner like this when David and I traveled Europe 6 years ago! It would have been such a nice way to add a little warmth and still pack light! A cropped version would be really cute in that style… fingers crossed!

Instagram post 2198876759426877572_2109301417 We’re at my in laws celebrating Christmas this weekend, and I’m looking forward to some relaxation and Christmas cookies (thanks @wholefoods for providing dairy free cookie options for those of us who hate to bake). In case you missed it yesterday, I posted a new week of outfits! The link is in my bio.
Instagram post 2198237741391614479_2109301417 In case you missed it, I shared my favorite ethical loungewear, pjs, and undergarments a few days ago! I live for cozy loungewear... especially this time of year! What about you? What’s your coziest piece of clothing?  These pajamas were gifted from @thesaltwatercollective
Instagram post 2197399213535439088_2109301417 Contemplating: if I wear loafers in snowy weather, will I regret it? Probably. I’ve had lots of comments on my bare ankles during winter (funny the things people notice 😂), and yes. I do wear shoes without socks sometimes when it’s cold outside.  It’s mostly because I like to live on the edge. But it’s also because I live in the Midwest where public transportation to and from the suburbs is sadly not readily available so I drive everywhere. Which means I’m never outside for very long. And, well, I get sweaty feet you guys. So unless I’m outside for awhile I like to let the tootsies breathe. I know. More than you wanted to know. But at least now the sockless feet mystery has been solved.
Instagram post 2196697651834058008_2109301417 I could never capture this serene of a photo now because Gabe is a, erm, very expressive eater (🤣😭) so I’m recycling this photo because I feel like someone needs to hear this: I exclusively pumped with the twins for seven months. When people find that out, usually the response is “That’s great! Good for you!” But you know what? No. It wasn’t great. And it wasn’t good for me. The day I stopped pumping was the day I had a panic attack from just looking at the pump. Pumping was a physical representation of all that I felt I was losing out on with two preemie babies. And it represented my effort to cling to the only thing (I felt) I could exclusively provide for my girls. But I was wrong about all of it. I was losing out on some things, but I was gaining a lot more. And I’m their MAMA. My very existence makes me exclusive in their eyes. I had to let go of the pump to realize that. The anxiety that it caused skewed my thinking, but once I made the decision to walk away I was able to heal from the pain caused by those early postpartum months. My point in saying all of this? We all want what’s best for our babies... and sometimes that means doing what will keep you mentally healthy. I was a much better mother and spouse once we switched to formula. I can’t tell you what’s best for you and your baby, but I can tell you that every baby is different, and every situation is different so you have to do what works for you... and not what worked for your mom, your sister, or your friend. Don’t let one thing have so much power over you. Your worth/success as a mother does not ride on how you fed your baby. It cannot... because regardless of breast or bottle you are MAMA. You are their sun, and their stars. You are their entire world. Don’t forget that.
Instagram post 2196258250834418228_2109301417 Just gave Gabe a bath and then got pooped on while I was cuddling him after. Never fails right! I get asked all of the time how I wear nice clothes with four little ones, and I’m planning to do a more in depth post about it, but my biggest tip? Only wear clothing that can easily be washed. I do wear nice clothing, but nothing that I can’t throw in the washing machine. What’s your biggest hang up when it comes to dressing with young kids? Let me know, and I’ll try to address them in my post!
Instagram post 2195225196753899391_2109301417 Today’s agenda: orange garland, sugar cookies, and wrapping presents. In other words, we’re in full on Holiday mood over here. I’m trying to go the sustainable route this year with Christmas wrapping so I’m using fabric scraps that I’ve been saving up all year. Anyone else have creative gift wrapping ideas? ————————————————
This cozy moment is brought to you courtesy of @everlane I’ll be sharing a roundup of all of my favorite loungewear/pj’s and undergarments on Wednesday so stay tuned for that!
Instagram post 2192324880895178756_2109301417 It’s my second day handling preschool drop off with all the kids, and it went slightly better than last time 😂 Any tips for getting everyone moving in the morning? Fitting in Gabe’s feedings makes it so tricky! I’m loving this combination of cognac, charcoal and navy. It’s such a classic color palette! I’m also realizing that the perfect addition to a neutral wardrobe are pieces with interesting shape/texture. The square toe and textured sweater give this outfit an edge that I really like!
Instagram post 2191604702993624622_2109301417 We’re having a bit of a lazy day around here. All three girls are sick, and Gabe’s a bit crabby after his 2 month shots. Whenever we stay home I’m always so tempted to go into turbo mode and just get all the things done, but entering this Holiday season has reminded me to enjoy down time as much as I can... which means getting better at prioritizing family time over “nice to have done” chores. I like my house to be spotless, but it doesn’t need to be. In the past, I’ve tried to pack in as many things as possible into our day and recently I was reminded that childhood should be filled with lots of empty spaces. So on that note, I’m sharing our teeny tiny Holiday bucket list at the link in my profile. Just the necessities, just the very best traditions.
Instagram post 2191165650842557799_2109301417 Just thought you should know David and I just survived bedtime apocalypse. We’re okay, but it’s gonna take a minute. —————————————————
I’ve almost donated this vintage sweater so many times, but I’m so glad I didn’t. It’s 100% cotton so it’s aged really well and is super soft and cozy. Plus I’ve been really digging the cable knit lately. This is why I put things in clothing “purgatory” before I get rid of them. Maybe this is extreme, but I sit on my decision to donate for at least a year. It’s easy to purge in the heat of a frenzied closet clean out, but giving yourself time to really sit with your decision eliminates the “I got rid of this and now I regret it so I have to purchase a new one” phenomenon. How long do you wait before you donate/sell an item?
Instagram post 2189575889132501121_2109301417 The old adage is true: you get what you pay for. This weekend @mejuri is running their only sale of the year... 10% off one item, 15% off two items, and 20% off three+ items. It’s a great time to add a piece to your collection! Necklace was gifted.
Instagram post 2189491062530229963_2109301417 We drove back from my parents house yesterday. It’s a 7 hour drive normally, but it was made even longer by snow/rainfall. We thought about staying through until Monday, but Gabe has his two month appointment on Monday and I didn’t want to cancel. Spontaneity is a word that’s clearly not in our vocabulary anymore. It worked out well though because we were able to get our tree today, and I don’t know when we would have fit it in otherwise because the first part of our December is already filling up.😭I’m hoping we can take it slow this month, but I know it’s going to take a lot of intentionality on my part. Have you guys mastered the art of a slow Holiday season or do you still struggle like me? P.S. these @everlane drape pants are super comfy for traveling. They’d make the perfect travel pants!
Instagram post 2188863507754143537_2109301417 My baby girl turned 5 yesterday. They say the years go quickly, and they definitely do... I feel like I blinked and we were here. But when I think back on the last 5 years there are these flashes of memory that seem frozen in time... like I’ve been given the gift of that memory forever. Because while it’s all gone so fast, those moments play back in a beautifully slow manner. They are little snippets of Kit. Little experiences we’ve had, things she’s said, moments we’ve gone through. They are her essence, and they are what I’ll remember 20 years from now, 40 years from now, as long as I am breathing I will have these bright spots holding fast in my memory. Kit my dear, you are the most joyful person I know. You are creative, fun, and incredibly kind. I am so thankful that I get to be your mama. Love you bunches Kitty Bug.
