Add to Cart: November Finds Worth Knowing About

Sometimes I have so many great finds I want to share, but not enough time to get them all photographed and styled. So I’m trying something new, a quick list of what I’ve brought in for the season that’s absolutely worth a look.

I’ve been trying on a lot of new pieces lately, and these are the ones that made me stop and say, yes, this is great. You’ll start to see them in upcoming posts and in my real-life outfits, but they take a little time to photograph and pull together.

I think I might start each month this way, with a quick list of what’s coming soon, so you can get a head start and grab what you love before sizes start to sell out.

These are pieces I’ve brought in for the season that I haven’t been able to photograph yet, but I will. It’s a mix of brands you know and love and a few you might just be meeting, all at a wide range of price points to fit every budget.

Think of this as your November shortcut to what’s worth knowing about, trying, and yes, adding to cart. There’s more to come, but these are a great place to start as we kick off the month.

Keds

Keds has been a staple in the world of easy, everyday sneakers, loved for their simplicity, comfort, and timeless appeal. At the request of readers looking for stylish sneakers under $100, I ordered a few pairs to test, and these two stood out.

Contest Perf Leather/Suede Lace-Up
These strike the perfect balance between laid-back and polished, with a mix of leather and suede, a clean silhouette, and all-day comfort. They’re versatile, classic, and ideal for pairing with denim, joggers, or casual dresses this fall.

Stretch Terry Patch Pocket Pant
If you haven’t tried these yet, they’re one of Faherty’s best-selling styles for a reason. The soft, stretchy terry knit feels like your favorite sweats but looks completely put together. I reach for them on busy days when I still want to look like I tried. They run true to size, come in several colors, and are worth every penny.

Jackson V-Neck Popover
This soft, relaxed popover is one of those rare finds that feels casual but still looks polished. The fit is easy without being oversized, and the subtle stripe adds just enough detail. It’s perfect for layering now and wearing on its own later, and the lightweight knit makes it one of those pieces you’ll keep in constant rotation.

Varley

Varley continues to be a go-to for elevated, relaxed-meets-polished pieces you’ll actually wear. These are not inexpensive, but I try to give options for all price ranges. Varley really sits in the quality-over-quantity category and each piece would also make a beautiful gift.

Camello Cable Half Zip 2.0
This updated version of Varley’s cable knit half zip delivers warmth and elegance with its wool-blend fabric, oversized collar, and placement cable stitch. It’s one of those wardrobe pieces you’ll lean on when you want something cozy yet effortlessly chic, and it just looks rich.

Lowell Sherpa Jacket
I splurged on this in the Carafe color and it absolutely delivers. With the rich sherpa texture, contrast collar, and clean zip-through styling, it’s the kind of outer layer that makes even a simple outfit look finished and elevated.

Splendid

I remember being introduced to Splendid back in college, but it eventually fell off my radar. Recently, I started revisiting the brand and I’m so glad I did. The pieces feel easy and elevated in the best way, with soft fabrics, beautiful neutrals, and simple shapes that make getting dressed effortless. I brought in a few things for the end of the year and they’re absolutely gorgeous.

Marigold Cashblend Sweater Dress
I’m wearing this in the Heather version and it’s absolutely stunning. The knit drapes beautifully, the tone is soft and elegant, and it’s one of those dresses that works for everyday now and for going out later.

Splendid x Cella Jane Icon Coat
I also brought this coat in the Snow color and it’s absolutely stunning. The clean silhouette, shawl collar, and high quality knit come together so effortlessly. It’s one of those outer layers that instantly makes your outfit look polished.

Tori Cashmere Turtleneck Sweater
I’m planning to wear this on Thanksgiving in the Soft Chocolate color. It’s the kind of piece that feels special but easy, made from 100 percent cashmere with a relaxed fit and ribbed turtleneck detail. A timeless addition that looks beautiful on its own or layered under your favorite coat.

LOFT

LOFT can be hit or miss but I found two pieces I’m super excited to feature. I will say the styling of these are so bad it’s almost hard to see the potential but with some lux feeling neutrals they could be some of your most worn pieces this season.

Coated High Rise Wide Leg Jeans
These are fantastic coated jeans in a rich brown at a great price. The high rise and wide leg shape give them structure and a modern feel while the coating adds polish and texture.

Coated Denim Maxi Skirt
For something different I picked this skirt in the same rich brown hue. The maxi length, denim coating, and sleek silhouette give it a fresh spin on elevated casual.

Ann Taylor

Ann Taylor strikes that balance of polish and wearability, and I’m stepping a little outside my usual basic bottoms with a few standout pieces I’m excited about. Right now they’re also running a promotion for $50 off any $200+ purchase, which makes it a great time to try something new.

Sophia Pant in Plaid
I’m planning to wear these with a black cashmere sweater and fun heels. The plaid print feels fresh, the fit is sharp yet comfortable, and they are a stylish step up from my go-to neutrals.

Mock Neck Pleated Sweater Dress
I took this in a medium and plan to wear it with knee-high black suede boots. It’s simple, flattering, and so easy to style for everything from the office to dinner. The knit has just the right amount of structure, making it one of those effortless dresses you’ll reach for all season.
