ORIGINAL ILLUSTRATION BY MAKENA FREDERICK
If there was one piece of clothing that I overcompensated on last fall, it was pants. So this season, I decided to give myself a “pants ban,” opting to focus on knitwear and accessories instead. I’m a firm believer that these are the items that can make or break a fall outfit, so I want to invest in expensive-looking pieces that I’ll be able to wear for many years. For this reason alone, I made my way over to QVC. The retailer has really surprised me with an array of fall finds, especially in the site’s pre-owned section. (I’m still salty about missing out on an original ’90s Dior saddle bag.) The site’s carefully curated knitwear basics are the front-runners in my cart, making the hard task of refreshing my seasonal closet that much easier. Keep scrolling to take a look at the pieces that I’m taking to checkout.
