August Amazon Haul: WEAR NOW CLOTHES THAT TRANSITION TO FALL

Happy Friday, ladies! I have all sorts of DARLING clothes and INCREDIBLE deals for you.  TODAY IS SOOOO GOOD, Y’ALL!  Get excited.

Here’s the honest truth – Amazon continues to impress me.

Sure, I order a lot that I never show y’all…

But the items that I do end up featuring are really good and I totally stand behind them.  And with me as your shopping tour guide, I hope to make shopping Amazon fashion easy and even FUN!  Click HERE to see my previous Amazon hauls.  SO MUCH GREAT STUFF.

When I first started these hauls, I didn’t know if I would ever do more than one.  But I have to say, I’m loving the variety that Amazon provides and the feedback y’all give!  Y’all are loving Amazing just as much as I am, and I’m continually surprised by the quality, especially for the price.  If the quality isn’t good, I simply don’t show it.  And that’s that.

Here’s a little peek into this month’s haul.  Sooooooooooooooooooo many great pieces!!!

PERFECT TRANSITIONAL CLOTHES

We’re starting out with an outfit that is full of items that we all need; items that will help us transition perfectly to Fall.  We all need a denim jacket, a pair of black jeans, a tassel necklace, and a pair of comfy flats.

I first introduced you this fabulous denim jacket last week. It has a good amount of stretch so it doesn’t feel boxy or stiff, it comes in 3 great washes, and it’s a more generous fit and has a bit more length that the must have denim jacket which I know many of you have been asking for!!!  It’s really good.  And it’s ONLY $39.  I’m wearing the “medium wash”, but there’s also a light and a dark wash.

For size reference, I’m wearing the medium, although I think a small would have been fine for just a closer fit.  I actually like the fit of the medium, so I’m keeping it!

And this adorable tassel necklace is under $12.  The Amazonite beads are so pretty, and y’all know I love a tassel.

Ladies, these flats are ONLY $17.  They are a classic ballet fit with elasticized sides that are comfy.  They also come in black, navy, nude, gold, and dark bronze (which I love).  This brown is darker than a normal cognac, but they aren’t quite as dark as they appear in this picture.  True to size for me.

There are lots of reviews on them with a good amount of pictures, so hop over to see those if you are curious to see what others have to say.  These are definitely budget flats, but I think they are a really good inexpensive option.

(If you’re willing to pay more for a high quality flat, I highly recommend these.  I’ve collected them in nude, cognac, and leopard over the last several years and highly recommend them.  They are extremely comfortable for all day wear and totally worth the money.)

Here’s a look at the entire outfit.  I was prepared to make a super big deal out of these black jeggings too, but it appears that they are currently sold out in many sizes in the black.  And I’m so sorry if they aren’t available in your size, but I still need to talk about them.  (There is a great pair HERE with over 2,000 awesome reviews that look like a great option.)

First of all, they come in 3 lengths (short, regular, and long).  They also come in several colors, and the olive (which I love!) appears to be well stocked!

I’m wearing a 4S because I wanted them to be ankle length.  On my 5’4″ frame, they hit perfectly right above the ankle, which allows me to show a bit of ankle when wearing them with booties or flats.

So what’s so great about these jeggings?  YOU PULL THEM ON, they are a great thick material, they don’t have a button or a zipper, and they feel like leggings but look like jeans.  If you are between sizes, I would definitely recommend sizing up.  The waist is snug, and you might prefer a bit of extra room.

This next outfit has 3 more items (all from Amazon) that I feel like everybody could use in their closet!

Amazon is calling this a slouchy sweatshirt, but I would describe it as more of jersey tee.

It’s heavier than just a regular tee, and it’s verrrrrrrrrrrrry soft.  It feels really good on, and I love the drop shoulder, the longer sleeve length, and the banded sleeve and hem.  The sleeve ends right above my elbow, so it’s great for those that don’t love showing their arms.  I also love the band on the bottom and the longer length, although it wouldn’t be long enough for leggings for me (plus, I think it would be too clingy for leggings).

It also comes in black, navy, and grey.  It’s a great basic that’s great on it’s own now, and it will be perfect for layering as the temperatures drop.

For size reference, I’m wearing a small

Okay, y’all!  THE JEANS!

I grabbed the jeans on Amazon, and they are the Democracy brand. I’m not sure how this works, but I think Democracy is a sister brand to Wit and Wisdom, so all of you Wit and Wisdom lovers need to pay extra close attention.  They are officially called jeggings because of their extreme stretch, but they DO have a functional button and zipper.

They are super stretchy (but don’t stretch out or sag during the day!) and are super similar to the Wit and Wisdom jeans with the Ab-solution technology that we all know and love.  They boast a no gap waistband, slimming mesh panels, and booty lift technology. The jeans also come in a dark indigo, black (a great option if the jeggings above weren’t available in your size), grey, and a non distressed version of the medium wash that I’m in below.

For size reference, I’m wearing a 4.

slouchy tee / favorite earrings / blue distressed jeans / mesh sneakers

And these mesh sneakers (that I’m wearing in the outfit above) are freaking fantastic.  Mine are the “apricot”, but I think they are more of a nice neutral taupe with maybe a hint of blush.  I’m typically a 6-6/12, and the 6s were good for me in these.

These sneakers are like no other sneakers I’ve ever had.  They almost feel like a thick and tight sock when wearing them, but they are obviously shoes because of the soles and the tread on the bottom.  I talked about these briefly last week, and I had some readers weigh in that already own them.  One reader said she “wore them all over Europe with no pain” and another said that she “pops them in the washing machine and they come out perfectly“.  Another said that she wears them without socks “but they never get stinky like her Converse“.  All really good information, right?

They come in TONS of colors and go on easily with just a little tug on the tabs in the back.

They have THOUSANDS of 5 Star Reviews, and the price point is $29.99.  INCREDIBLE.

This tee is from the same brand as the slouchy tee above, and it’s just as soft.

It appears I’m very into blush these days, but it also comes in black, heather grey, navy, and a couple of small stripe options.  True to form, I’ve already ordered the white and black skinny stripe (it will be SO CUTE under a military jacket).

It too is a very relaxed fit, although it is shorter in length. I like the v neck and the small roll sleeves. I’m wearing a small in the tee.  This top would look great with white jeans, denim jeans, black jeans, and grey jeans.  It would also look awesome with a pair of joggers!

Talk about a dress that’s good for now and later!   The reviews are mixed on this dress…people either love it or hate it…but I love it.   Lots of people refer to it as being “boxy” like that’s a bad thing….but I don’t think it’s boxy.  I just think it’s a relaxed fit (WHICH I LOVE AND PREFER).

It’s great on it’s own, but it would awesome with a military jacket or denim jacket (this one is awesome and just $39) thrown on top.

How about a jersey dress for $18.50?  SERIOUSLY.  EIGHTEEN DOLLARS AND FIFTY CENTS.  And it’s SO SOFT and SO CUTE.  This is the navy and white stripe, but there’s also a black and white stripe as well as several solid colors.

For size reference, I’m wearing a small in the dress and a medium in the jacket.  After getting the medium, I think the small would have been totally fine, but I’m going to keep the medium.  You’ll be seeing this baby in lots of future Amazon posts, so go ahead and make friends with it.

I love the entire outfit.

There’s nothing I love much more than a hoodie.  Except maybe a camo hoodie that’s ONLY $20.

It comes in 9 colors, and although the camo is definitely my favorite, I really love the heathered oatmeal too.  If you prefer a pull on sweatshirt, click HERE for an awesome $18 option.

camo zip up hoodie / white tee / denim shorts sold out / mesh sneakers

This hoodie is similar in style and shape to the one above, but it’s a little bit lighter and a little bit softer.  This will definitely be a staple for me.  Because of the fabric, it feels a bit dressier than just a regular ol’ sweatshirt.  It too comes in several color options.

For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.

And I’m wearing the same fabulous jeans and sneakers!  See details above (with the long blush tee), but as a reminder, they are both true to size.

Before we get to some more outfits, I wanted to highlight the shoes I grabbed for this post.  You’ve seen the flats and the sneakers in the post already.

I purchased the block heel sandals to hopefully go with a couple of different dresses I ordered for the post, but one of the dresses hasn’t arrived yet, and the other one DID NOT work on me.  Like AT ALL.  Still, the sandals are super cute!

This button up is FANTASTIC.  It’s actually the 2nd one I’ve purchased because I love it so much (see the first one I purchased in just a sec)!  I went with a medium, which I most often do in button ups, and I liked the fit a lot.

Seriously.  This shirt is amazing.  AND IT’S UNDER $20.  And it has EXCELLENT reviews.

I love it on its own, but it will also be cute worn under a military jacket or with the collar popped under a crew neck sweater.

The jeans aren’t from Amazon, but I do love them.  The button fly makes them a little bit retro, but they are still totally modern and such a great fit.  I’m wearing a 4 in the jeans, so they are true to size.

black and white plaid button up /bracelets /  bag no longer available / button fly jeans / sandals

This is the same shirt as above, but in a pretty plaid!

A reader (shout out, Sam!) initially recommended to me that I try this button up.  THANK YOU, SAM!  I often have trouble with button ups pulling, so I didn’t have high hopes.  BUT I OBVIOUSLY LOVE IT. #becausetwoshirts

When Sam told me about this shirt, she said that she owns 6 and loves them for both office and weekend wear!  Hey, I get it Sam.  Click HERE to see all of the color options.

I love a popover, so I grabbed 2 of this next shirt.  It’s a light weight with a longer sleeve, so it will be great for transitioning.  This one would actually look great under an olive military jacket too.  It says it’s “red”, but it definitely leans coral in person.

For size reference, the small pulled across the back, so I ended up with a medium.

 coral red floral popover / bracelets / shorts no longer available / sandals

Here it is in a french blue stripe that I love.  I’m wearing it out on the right to show you the length, because it’s not a tunic, but it’s a bit on the longer side.  You can also see the sleeve length on the right.

You can never have enough super soft tees with a relaxed fit.  So I grabbed this one.  I’m wearing a small.

super soft tee / tassel necklace / favorite earrings  / favorite denim shorts /reversible cognac tote / cognac sandals

This outfit started with the white tee and denim jacket you’ve already seen several time on today’s post.  If you already have these two pieces, all you need to do is order the skirt.

This skirt kind of reminds me of Harold’s in the 90s (please tell me some of you get that reference), but with a boho twist!  It comes in several colors, but my favorite was this red.

For size reference, I’m wearing a small in the skirt.

And seriously, this jacket is greatness.

This dress doesn’t fit me quite right (it’s too tight in the chest), but I wish it did, because it’s gorgeous!  In fact, it looks like a several hundred dollar Mara Hoffman dress to me.

I know you can’t really tell in the picture, but it’s really WAY too tight up top.  I’m wearing a small.

One more never before seen item that I want to show you today, and my goodness it has me ready for cooler temperatures.

This sweater is thick, very warm, and very soft. And I think it looks very expensive!  It comes in several different colors, but I grabbed the grey leopard.

For size reference, I’m wearing a small.

AMAZON REVIEW

I wanted to review some of the most popular outfits from the last several posts.  These are items that were purchased by lots of readers and items that I received tons of amazing feedback on from y’all.

Like this dress.

THIS. DRESS. IS. STUNNING.

STUNNING!!!

I ordered this particular dress on a whim because the reviews were great, but I had no idea how much I was going to love it.  I have no upcoming occasion for this dress, but I’m keeping it anyway.  BECAUSE I’M OBSESSED.  And because it’s under $30.  WHAT?  That’s right.  I said under $30.

It’s elegant, it’s flattering, and it’s comfy.  And get this…it stays off your shoulders without having to mess with it!  The tiered layers are gorgeous and I absolutely love the tiny little pleats on each tier.  I have trouble finding dresses that I love because I always have to size up for room in the chest, which makes the bottom of the dress too roomy.

I feel great in this dress.

It also comes in white, beige, and a peachy pink.  For size reference, I’m wearing a size small.

I wanted to show you the Amazon Denim Jacket again.  Told ya it’s good.  And this dress (THAT I LOVE!) is now 50% OFF, making it just under $40.

I just saw that the pretty little halo studs I’ve been talking about for the last couple of months now are BACK IN STOCK!  It’s hard to capture how sparkly they are in a photograph, but this picture shows the studs with the halo around them. They have stellar reviews and come packaged very nicely in a black jewelry box. Click HERE.

I love a peasant blouse for Fall, and I’m feeling the mustard, but if you’re not a mustard girl, it comes in several other colors.

This top is great on it’s own now, but it will also be super cute layered under a jacket.   I’m wearing a small.

Just style this dress differently with a denim jacket and some shoreline converse, and you are transitioning perfectly into cooler weather and the Fall season.  Which color is your favorite?  But don’t feel any pressure to choose.  #BECAUSETWENTYDOLLARS

I’ve worn these dresses at least 5 times each since getting them.  It’s a great fit!

A leopard print tee is quite possibly a must have for Fall.  It’s cute on it’s own, but it would also look great under a denim jacket or military jacket.  I will totally be rocking this with black jeans.

Super soft and super cute, and it comes in other animal prints as well.  It’s under $20, and I’m wearing a small.

I have to get this in a Fall color, although the white would look great layered under a jacket.

I LOVE and ADORE this white lace top.

The neck, the sleeves, the lattice pattern, and of course the lace detail…I love it all.  It also comes in a lilac, a soft blue, and a pretty wine color that would all be great for Fall.

It’s hard to tell in these pictures, but it’s wayyyyyyyyyyy too tight.  I’m in a small, and I definitely need a medium.

AND LADIES.  You aren’t going to believe the price.  It’s under $20.

THE LAST 3 THINGS I PRIMED

Just for fun, I took a look at my Amazon order history to see the 3 last things I primed (two days ago, so they should arrive today)!  These are items that I cannot wait to receive and review in next month’s haul:

1. These camo sneakers.  They have amazing reviews and I’m SO EXCITED about them!
2. This leopard poncho tunic thingy.  No reviews yet, but I have super high hopes.
3. This ruffle neck woven blouse.  I plan on wearing it with skinny jeans, but it looks like it would be great for the office as well!

And just like last month, I thought it would be fun if y’all did the same and left your three last primed items in the comments section….or maybe the craziest item you remember priming….or maybe tell about a time when Amazon Prime basically saved you somehow.

Have a wonderful weekend with your people!
