    My twin sister and I are similar in so many ways. But ever since I moved to New York four years ago, I’ve noticed our personal styles are evolving. I prefer to dabble in fashion trends, and she tends to stick to casual outfits. Now that Amazon Prime Big Deal Days has arrived, I was curious to see how she's shopping the sale event as a Midwesterner. Unsurprisingly, her Amazon Prime Day shopping list has a ton of chic picks anyone would love.

    If I had to describe my sister's style, I would say she's a true minimalist who prioritizes comfort and functionality. She keeps it cozy with leggings and sweaters, but always wears denim and elevated fashion basics on the weekends. As for shoes, you can almost always find her in a cool, trendy sneaker or boot come winter.

    After taking a peek at my sister's October Prime Day wishlist, I've decided I'll be stealing quite a few of her stylish picks for myself. If you're curious to see what's in both of our carts, keep scrolling. From on-sale jackets to fall-friendly bags, these picks prove the Midwest has taste.
