Recounting my favorite purchases has been really fun because several of you have commented, e-mailed, and DM’ed to make sure your favorites are included.  It’s really great to see how many of you have bought something you saw on this blog and loved it enough to tell your friends.  So here are a few of the items the readers insisted make the cut.

The LL Bean Classic Utility Jacket is the ultimate casual layering piece.  It comes in six colors; I own three of them.  This jacket has many positives, so let’s go over a few.

First off, the waist is adjustable so you can wear it straight or fitted.  Second, the collar styling gives you the popped collar look without having to do a thing.  And third, the material is substantial.  You can really feel the quality.

The jacket comes in misses, petite and plus.  Score one for inclusive sizing.

When we moved to Helena, I needed to furnish at WFH office for Kyle.  I didn’t want to spend a ton, so I ordered this desk chair from Amazon.  He loved it so much, that when he got back to Spokane a few weeks ahead of our furniture, he ordered another one and I took the original.  I also heard from two readers who bought one on my recommendation and both love them.

The lumbar support is really good for an under-$200 chair.  The high back is nice.  And the material is durable.

These Colorfulkoala leggings are the only ones I buy now.  The pockets were a revelation (no more tying a jacket around my waist so I could carry my wallet and phone).  The material fits snugly, is incredibly durable, and washes like a dream.  My first pair were heavily worn for a year and still look good.  And unlike the Lululemon 7/8 length which is still too long, these ones don’t have to be tailored.

I also love their joggers.  So many joggers look like parachute pants when I wear them.  These ones don’t.  The material is also really soft.  As one reader put it, “I could not have dressed myself during the pandemic without them.”

When a reader saw that our favorite serum, Ole Henriksen Night Transformation Gel, was on sale, she pinged me immediately.  And while I’m grateful to save a bit of money, I am concerned this means they’re cancelling it.  So I bought six and put them in the refrigerator for safe keeping.  That should get me through the next 18-months.
