Happy Friday! This wrap top looks like a great top as we head into fall — lightweight but long sleeved and super soft. I like the collar and the sliiiight puff to the sleeves, as well as the top-of-the-hip length. I’d wear it with all kinds of tailored trousers and skirts (ankle, bootcut, flared, straight, midi, flare, pencil). It’s available in four colors, sizes XXS-XXL, at J.Crew, where it’s marked down to $27. (Incidentally, lots of markdowns right now — some older pieces are 75% off, and they’re offering 40% off the new stuff.) Pictured:  Wrap top with collar

This Halogen top is a pretty good dupe in plus sizes (it also comes in regular and petite sizes), and this isn’t terribly similar but I’ve always liked this plus-size cardigan with a drawstring detail.

High-waisted pants are coming back in, and this $68 pair looks like a great option to try the trend for a reasonable price (although, as I’ve noted before, high-waisted skirts can be a bit easier to get the fit right). The trick to a high-waisted style is pairing it with the right top — you don’t want too much volume. Look instead for slim t-shirts and blouses that are easily tucked, or even look for a great bodysuit (J.Crew has a ton of them right now, for some reason). Cropped tops are almost never appropriate for the office, but if layered with a tank top and a high-waisted bottom like this (so, no skin showing), they just might work. (More like this one or this one, NOT this one.) The pictured trousers are $68, come in sizes 0-12, and are available in four colors (with some sizes and colors selling out already).

Looking for something similar in plus sizes? These $40 pants come in sizes 12-24.

Happy Friday! This gorgeous short-sleeve dress at J.Crew Factory (it’s a bestseller there) comes in black and gray and is getting great reviews so far. I like the sleeves, the hidden back zip, the seams, and so on, and I think it looks great. The dress is $64.50 and available in sizes 00–24, which is really nice — I didn’t realize J.Crew Factory had extended sizes. Short-Sleeve Ponte Dress
