This item was gifted to me for my honest review and for content creation. Thank you wool& for the opportunity to share the Roam Cami Slip.
For reference, I am 5’6”, 190 pounds, and a pear shaped 42 year old. I am wearing size Large.

As a South Carolina girly, a little spaghetti strap slip will always have a place in my wardrobe and this piece has the versatility to really get a ton of wear. As always, I am challenged by my own size metrics. I’m probably close to an XL in the hips/tummy but more of a medium in the chest/shoulders.

wool& Roam Cami Slip, size Large in black 

For Roam, I wish I had chosen a medium and probably should have exchanged but I was already attached to the size large by the time I came to that realization, so I will continue to wear this. Fortunately, the straps adjust allowing me to tighten the fit of the top a good bit.

The fabric of Roam is smooth and super stretchy, just like you would want from a slip with 75% merino wool, 22% nylon, 3% spandex. At 200 gsm it’s not sheer but it’s very lightweight. Initially, I wondered if I might be able to wear this piece alone as a dress in the summer. Now that I have tried it myself, I’ve decided that at my shape and age, I’m just not willing to do it, it’s a little too thin and a smidge too clingy. If I was on vacation and walking the beach, I would feel fine, but in most cases probably not something I would wear as a standalone. However, I can imagine many folks could pull it off really well.

I was most excited about pairing the Roam Cami Slip with leggings and other tops, giving me skirt-like coverage or extending a top into tunic length. For this, I’m absolutely thrilled with the functionality of it and this is something I will wear a lot.

Whenever I find myself a little bored with an outfit, adding in a contrasting texture can often do just the trick and so layering the Roam Cami Slip with a lace top gave me a little style pick-me-up (last few pics). I have no doubt the Roam Cami Slip will get a lot of wear in my wardrobe!

First outfit up and I love how this one turned out! I am wearing the Beatrice Polo top in Stone Grey with the Dylan Belted Vest over the straight cut leggings. I hoped the Beatrice would be a hit for me because I love the Bristol dress, it’s just a great neckline for me. I also love that the Stone Grey almost reads white to the eye and for a winter like me it’s such a great cool neutral. I think the color makes it extra sharp and look quite professional, especially with the Dylan Belted Vest. As soon as I tried on this vest, I knew this was a keeper for me.

This entire look FEELS like Pajamas and yet looks very professional. I am always looking for nice business casual alternatives to, say, a business suit, and this is absolutely perfect in my mind!

Although I think the Summit Straight Cut Pocket leggings do work, I think it would also work well with any slim pant. I will be trying these pieces in other outfit combos as well but I loved this one so much I knew it would be a repeater! I also want to mention that I love the vest unbelted just as much, if not more. This is truly such a versatile piece, I can’t wait to integrate it into my wardrobe!

Simone Cowl Neck Tunic Marionberry Size Large

I tend to shy away from turtlenecks because most styles like this are cut very slim all the way down and that just isn’t my favorite. Simone is unique because it’s loose and flowy going down, while still having a nice trim arm and traditional cowl neck. I love the drop sleeve cut, it makes it look relaxed and adds to the flowy vibes. I also really like the side slits and longer length in the back.

It’s actually a little bit longer on me than I expected, which I am happy about. I am wearing a size large and of course I can never say enough good things about Marionberry. The one thing I would wish, was that the fabric was a smidge thicker. I think it would be so nice in a heavier weight, but I still really like this piece and am sure I will wear it a lot. I love how it looks with Goldie and Dylan also!

If you haven’t shopped Quince before, this is a great time to explore (and believe me, there is a lot to peruse!) Quince provides a wide range of budget-friendly wardrobe essentials for the whole family, as well as home goods, jewelry, and luggage. By cutting out the “middleman” and sourcing materials directly, they deliver quality products to consumers at prices significantly lower than their competitors. As a first-time shopper, I was amazed by some of the prices and absolutely impressed by the current designs. I think you will love Quince just like I do!

Lightweight Cotton Cashmere Link-Stitch Dolman Sweater

My first piece to share is this Lightweight Cotton Cashmere Link-Stitch Dolman Sweater. I chose a size Large in Heather Charcoal and this piece was actually sent to me about a month ago. I have worn this shirt at least 10 times since and I absolutely LOVE it. This is honestly the boxy oversized fit I have been looking for and I find it to be super flattering and incredibly versatile. This sweater is mostly cotton but does have a very smooth luxe feel and is soft, breathable, and wrinkle-resistant. It’s also the perfect transition piece for folks like me who want to dress for Fall when temps are still warm!

Australian Merino Wool Cable Sweater Vest
Sweater vests are crazy popular this year and I have been hoping to find one that would fit me well as a shirt AND as a layering piece. I’m delighted to say that this vest is the perfect solution for both next-to-skin tank top style and layering as a base or a topper! I am absolutely thrilled with how soft and breathable this piece is and really happy to add some chunky texture to my transition pieces when it’s not quite cold outside yet. The timeless cableknit design and the wider, capsleeve cut make it the perfect piece for me. Again, I am wearing large and it fits true to size for me.

As I said, this vest is perfect has a next-to-skin layer with heavier pieces on top. I absolutely ADORE this 100% Organic Cotton Knit Blazer from Quince (for full disclosure, I purchased this piece myself). It’s got the elevated look of a corporate style blazer, but it feels more like a sweatshirt and the relaxed fit and 3/4 sleeves are right up my alley, style-wise. I love it with the vest. This is something I will enjoy wearing for work meetings or running errands.

100% European Linen Long Sleeve Shirt
I have been slowly building up a bit of a linen capsule and I thought a long sleeve striped shirt would be a great piece to add in. The imperfect, airy texture of linen is SO nice against your skin and it’s a great fabric to layer with thicker sweaters like the other pieces I have shared here. I tried it as a base layer and open over a silk tank and really enjoyed the different looks. My one regret is that I wish I had sized up to an XL (mine is a large) for a more over-sized fit, but I do feel it fits true to size.

This piece was perfect for an Agatha All Along Inspired look, hang in to the end of the post for pics!

Thank you again, Quince for these lovely neutral pieces, I can’t wait to continue to style them throughout the season!

Get ready for BACK TO WOOL SEASON! I’m excited to share this new series, starting today on my Insta Page… Back to Wool: embracing natural fibers for year-round fashion. I would love to have you join me whether you are already completely devoted to natural fibers, still have a mostly synthetic wardrobe, or are just beginning to explore clothing in wool, linen, silk, and cotton. This series will be all about taking advantage of the pieces we have to create a comfortable and versatile year-round wardrobe with endless styling potential. Get ready to explore the back of your closet, re-imagine how you get dressed each morning, and think about your biggest wardrobe frustrations and how to leave them behind. My posts will include daily outfit inspo, helpful tips & tricks, and favorite styling ideas to help you work your own pieces to your advantage. Be sure to follow my page so you won’t miss out and use the #backtowool hashtag if you want to join in posts on the daily topics. I’d also love to see you comment and add any ideas or thoughts that you think would be a great fit for this September series!

Woohoo! Day 1 is here! BACK TO WOOL is in session and our first assignment is going to be about taking stock of your closet. (If you feel like you are missing something, head to my Insta to follow along!) Now, you didn’t necessarily sign up for a major closet over-haul here so we are going to do a little mini closet update instead. This doesn’t have to be an all day process, it doesn’t have to mean trying on clothes for hours, and it doesn’t have to be overwhelming. What we are doing instead is a quick top 10, bottom 10. Quickly go through your closet and create a list of your top 10 wardrobe items and then find 10 items you that don’t get worn for any number of reasons. Now put your top 10 pieces at the front of your closet and either donate or pack away those bottom 10 items. How simple was that? Want a more intense version of the closet cleanout? Scroll Down for my Closet Reset Method!

My Top 10/Bottom 10
Top 10: My closet is a bit of a revolving door of pieces as I get the chance to style gifted items from lots of brands, which is great. So my top 10 change pretty often but these 10 items always get a lot of love for me:
1. A versatile wool blend black tank dress: For me, it’s usually going to be wool& Sierra. That’s a dress I can wear most of the year, for most occasions, and it’s so ridiculous versatile it’s actually wild.

2. Comfy, durable black leggings. My choice is wool& summit currently, because I can wear them for pretty much any outfit and they have held up for many seasons of wear.
Affiliate link for wool& Summit
3. Jean Jacket or button up denim shirt. I have a major weakness for this clothing category and seem to continue to buy them over and over. My current choice is the Quince Denim Distressed Button Up Shirt. In the summer a denim vest is a great piece to have as well.

4. A flowy kimono/cape: I am lucky to have a lovely collection of items from Julahas so it’s really hard to pick just one but I would probably choose one of the wool or linen Kimonos. They really help create the silhouette I love!
Link to all Julahas Kimonos
5. A pair of jeans: Honestly, I debated over including these at all because I don’t wear them very often but I do like to keep a pair of nice-fitting denim just in case I feel in the mood. My current favorite jeans are Risen brand.
Affiliate link for Risen
6. Black pants or joggers: This one is hard to choose because I like to have a couple different pants items in my wardrobe but if I was forced, I would go with the Unbound Merino Travel Pants. They are insanely comfortable, look great, and are the perfect work or travel piece. Spoiler alert: I love the travel shorts also!

7. Black Tank: I would probably choose the Ribbed Tank Top from Unbound Merino for this category. It’s been my go-to all summer and I know it will make a great layering piece for fall.

(My Quince Washable Silk Cami would be a very close second: and here is my affiliate link. )
8. Long Sleeve Wool Dress: This is another hard one to narrow down because I really like both wool& Willow and wool& Rowena. Right now I’m going to choose wool& Willow because I love the fit of this dress!
Affiliate link for wool& Willow
9. V-neck tee in a favorite color. I’d probably choose the wool& Morgan tee for this category and I love the Emerald color.
Affiliate link for wool& Morgan
10. Cardigan or pullover sweater. My favorite sweater is definitely going to be one of my Oliver Charles sweaters, so that’s what I would have to go with. Which style might depend on the time of year but for now I’ll go with the Oliver Charles Summer Crewneck:

Bottom 10: I got rid of more than 10 items for this challenge, but here are the main things that I said goodbye to: A few pairs of jeans I have outgrown, a sundress that never fit right, a cotton cardigan that I love in theory but never wear, and several synthetic blouses that never get any love. For me the theme was I have sized up and there was no point in keeping too-small items any longer.

Here’s my Closet-Reset Method:
So each season (sometimes 2 times a year cold/warm v. 4, to be honest) I do a version of the following:

1) Pull out all the clothes. I know this is quite a huge pain in the neck, but this is one of Marie Kondo’s principles that I do subscribe to. Getting them all out really gives you a clean perspective and it is easier to reverse clean by putting in what you WANT v. taking out what you DON’T. For me, I know I’ve been naughty and deserve to be miserable when facing the excess. It’s part of the self-training to learn to do better next time. Or self-punishment. Whatever.

Back to Wool Day 2! Today we are going to have a little mini-workshop about choosing your style descriptors. As a writer, this is SO much fun for me and absolutely unlocks a new level of wardrobe understanding in a way that nothing else really can! (I think I first learned about style descriptors on the YouLookFab.com website/forum which is an incredible wealth of fashion knowledge and expertise! If you want to deep dive into dressing for your body type, color theory, and capsule wardrobe with a mathematically savvy group of true fashion icons, that’s where you should go!) Choosing your style descriptors will help you get dressed in the morning, help you shop thoughtfully, and ultimately help you understand why an outfit does or doesn’t work for you. Today’s assignment is to choose three fashion descriptors that fit your vibe…so how you WANT to feel in your outfits is a great way to frame this. Here are some examples: classic, sporty, timeless, youthful, structured, casual, minimalist, preppy, basic, elegant, polished, boho, vintage, and sophisticated. You might immediately know exactly the style words that apply to you, or you might need to do a bit of brainstorming first. Hint: Chat GPT is a great place to get suggested descriptors with their definitions!
My three style descriptors are flowy, feminine, and fun. When I put together an outfit with all three of these aspects, I love what I am wearing so much! If I miss all three, chances are I will feel weird and off all day. This can really help you tweak an outfit to make it more “you”. For example, if I get dressed for work in black pants and a blazer, that’s not going to hit the mark for me. So I ask myself, how can I add one or more of my style buzz words to this outfit. So for flowy, I could add a flowy scarf or vest to the outfit. For feminine I could add a bow in my hair (these are TOTALLY in now), or for fun I might add a chunky charm necklace or a bright handbag. Again, this is just to help you feel more YOU in your clothing!

Back to Wool Day 3 is here! Let’s talk outfit formulas for #backtowool Day 3! Outfit formulas are such a great way to simplify getting dressed and further define your signature style per those style descriptors we chose yesterday. So today’s challenge is to think about 2 or 3 outfit combinations that you can repeat and restyle throughout the year. To take it a step farther….if those formulas are based on your top 10 pieces from day 1…well then your wardrobe will really start to take off! My favorite formula is swing dress+topper+shoes. In cooler months, that means a swing dress+kimono+leggings+boots. My summer version of the same is a swing dress+long necklace+sandals. Honestly, I could probably wear this style outfit for the rest of my life and be totally happy. Just mixing up colors and accessories will give you lots of different looks. Want more ideas for outfit formulas? Here are just a few ideas that ChatGPT and I worked on together 😉

Back to Wool Day 5 is here! On day 1 we talked about our “Top 10” and today I’m styling one of my top 10 items 5 different ways! For me wool& Sierra is the perfect year-round dress that so easily transitions from casual to dressy and from one season to the next, it’s really such a unicorn! Remember, wool also has almost magical temperature-regulating, odor-resistant, wrinkle-fighting, anti-microbial properties that make it a great fit for anyone like me who is super busy, fills many different roles, and hates laundry! The Sierra is also super soft and squishy and completely glides over your problem areas which is a relief to me in this stage of perimenopausal weight gain. Even if you don’t have this dress, you can utilize these formulas for easy outfit building year-round using your little black dress of choice.  #naturalfibers #backtoschool #capsulewardrobe #woolobsessed #silk #cotton #linen #wool #unboundmerino #simplymerino #wooland #olivercharles #julahasfashion #quince #thrift #September #project333 #closetchallenge #minimalism #slowfashion #ootd #getdressedwithme

If you’ve been around my blog for awhile, you know that I am a huge fan of Unbound Merino. They have been knocking it out of the park with drop after drop of beautiful, functional merino pieces that hold up SO well to real life. They are geared towards travel, but as a big homebody I find that my Unbound Merino pieces have been phenomenal for my rough-and-tumble hybrid homeschool mom/wfhm lifestyle because they are comfortable, breathable, odor-resistant, and they look great! I have worn them for work events, on the beach, around town, and working from home, too. Honestly, I can’t say enough good things about my experience so far with Unbound Merino.

Disclosure: I was compensated for this post. This post also contains affiliate links, and I will be compensated if you make a purchase after clicking on my links. Thanks for checking out this review!

My particular favorite of Unbound Merino is the Women’s Lightweight Travel Pants, they are just SO GOOD. Comfortable, extremely sharp, and easy to wear. Today, we’ll be talking about the Men’s line of Unbound Merino and I can’t wait to share some of the key features and benefits of the Men’s Relaxed Merino Travel Pants as well as the Men’s Slim Fit Merino Travel Pants. They even have a shorts version as well, so don’t miss those!MEN’S RELAXED MERINO TRAVEL PANTS
Bi-stretch twill pants made from Italian Merino Wool, the Men’s Relaxed Merino Travel Pants bring the incredible features of merino to the table: anti-wrinkle, temperature regulating, odor-resistant, and fast drying. I can also confirm this fabric is comfortable, breathable, and easy to wash when needed (fortunately, you need to wash merino MUCH less often than other fabrics), making these perfect for both travel and work scenarios. For any guys traveling for work, these are an absolute must-have!
MEN’S SLIM FIT MERINO TRAVEL PANTS
For a different look and fit, check out the Men’s Slim Fit Merino Travel Pants. Both styles are available in multiple different colors (6 for the Relaxed version and 7 for the Slim Fit version). Made from 95% Merino Wool, 5% Elastane, Stretch Twill, these are going to give you the lightweight comfort, wrinkle-free fabric, and work-friendly fit you need for an everyday pant, all with the merino performance we love!

MORE WARDROBE STAPLES
Unbound Merino has way more to offer beyond the Travel Pants! You can also pair up these bottoms with a Merino Polo Shirt, a Merino Button Up, or the Compact Travel Hoodie. With all these options, you’ve got the perfect foundation for a travel, work, or casual weekend capsule.
