February Amazon Finds: Great Closet Staples and Transitional Pieces

Happy Monday, Ladies!  I’m super excited about today’s post!  This is my 3rd monthly Amazon Fashion Haul (click HERE to see the first 2), and this one is my favorite I’ve done by far.  I am SO EXCITED about so many of the items in today’s post.   I’m thrilled that y’all are loving the posts (they are two of the most viewed posts over the last 12 months), and I’m having so much fun learning how to shop Amazon for clothes.  I continue to return about 1/2 of my order each month, but I’m starting to figure out how to use the search function better and I’m finding brands that I love and go back to each month.

I know that lots of y’all are dealing with super cold weather still, and in my neck of the woods our weather is flip flopping like crazy!  This past weekend it was almost 80 on Friday, and then I woke up to the freeze protection on in our pool on Saturday morning!  Because of this, my outfits of the day are flip flopping as well.  So today’s post runs the gamut, but it focuses on pieces that make transitioning between high and low temps easier.

Take this first outfit for example.  When I put this on in the morning, I was wearing it with my slim profile UGGs and had my under $40 pea coat on too (size up in the coat).  By afternoon I had switched out my UGGs for my camo wedge sneakers, and I’d gotten rid of the coat.

Oh, and I added the hat!  I absolutely love Judith March hats (they fit my big ol’ noggin’ the best), so I grabbed 2 new ones.  I grabbed this one that says Brunette, and I also grabbed this one that says “Dirt Road Darlin“.

This is the crazy soft sweater that I’ve already shown you a couple of times before. IT’S SO GOOD, and it’s ONLY $28.95.  It’s stupid soft and excellent quality. And it comes in several colors. And you need it.

I love the relaxed fit (I’m wearing a small and there’s still plenty of room).  Click HERE if you want to see it dressed up a bit with jeans, no hat, and my new pointy toe leopard flats!

Next up, an open front cardi from the same maker as the above sweater.  I tell you what, Alexander and David know what’s up with sweaters.  I first got this cardi in the mustard color (click HERE to see it on me in mustard), and I liked it so much I had to grab this really light blush color.  Like the v neck above, it’s very well made and incredibly soft.  The material drapes so nicely, and it looks much more expensive than it actually is at ONLY $28.95.  It can be styled casually for running around town doing errands, but it’s definitely nice enough to wear to work as well.

It comes in 9 colors, and this is for sure a cardigan that I would recommend getting in several colors.  It’s a great basic that you can wear all year long.  It’s light weight, but it still keeps you warm without being heavy.

Sizing tips:  I’m wearing a medium in the tee, the small/medium in the cardi, a 4 in the jeans, and the sneakers are true to size.

Here are all the colors.  I legit wouldn’t mind having every single one of them.

And here’s the same cardi styled with my new white jeans!  They are thick and stretchy, and not see thru!  I do wish the lining in the front pockets was less noticeable, but I love everything else about these jeans. I’m wearing a 4, so they are true to size.

And here’s the same outfit, but I switched out the camo tote for this amazing leopard tote.

First of all, the tote is reversible...so if you aren’t brave enough for the large leopard tote, you could reverse it for a cognac tote with an awesome leopard lining inside!  It comes in solid colors too, but I was drawn to the leopard.  It’s made of high quality vegan leather and has the cute little tassel that hangs off one of the straps.  (UPDATE:  Sadly, it looks like the leopard tote sold out early this morning.  I’m so sorry, but I have no way of knowing stock before I highlight items, so I’m also very sad when something sells out quickly.  I’ll keep my fingers crossed for a restock, but I did find this leopard tote from the same maker.  I’m imagining it will go fast too.)

The price is amazing at under $40, but my one complaint is that there are no interior pockets.  However, this won’t be an issue if you pop in one of the bag organizers (that I talk about more in just a minute)!  This bag could definitely accommodate an XL organizer (they come in 3 sizes).

And to prove to you just how much I love this cardi…here it is in two more outfits worn super casually, just styled a bit differently.  It looks great with my favorite denim shorts  and my favorite tassel necklace.

This is the 4th of 5th year that I’ve worn this necklace.  It is hands down my favorite necklace for Spring and Summer, and I’ll be continuing to wear it this year as well.  I love the wooden beads and it brings so much fun and color to outfits.  And great news!  The necklace is 25% OFF today with the code HAILTOTHESALE.

Here’s the same basic outfit, just styled differently.  I took off the necklace and threw on a hat.

All right, y’all aren’t going to believe this next deal.  CHECK OUT THIS DRESS!

It’s a really soft jersey fabric, has a swingy fit, and will be perfect to throw on for an instant outfit!  Paired with my denim jacket, my favorite tassel necklace, and some shoreline converse….you can’t go wrong.  In the summer, it will also look great with wedges or sandals.  Heck, it would even work with flip flops at the beach!

And listen to this…THIS DRESS IS ONLY $18!  And it comes in 12 colors.  For size reference, I’m wearing a small.

There are also these dresses from the same maker out of the same crazy soft and wonderfully drapey material.  Just click on what you are interested in.  LOOK AT THE PRICES!

Here’s the felt organizer insert for totes I referenced above when talking about the leopard tote.  This is a medium, and although it fits, my Savannah tote could definitely accommodate a larger size.   Still, I kind of like how there is additional room in the bag around the insert.  I filmed some videos about the insert, so check on instastories sometime today!

If you prefer to be hands free, I found a great little cross body for under $40.  It’s a good medium size and has plenty of interior pockets and compartments.

They call this a sweatshirt, but I think it’s more like a jersey hoodie.  I also happen to think it’s awesome.  I sized up to a medium, and I’m glad I did.  It is reallllllllllly soft and comfortable.

I’m wearing my regular 27s in the shorts.  And in case you are new around these parts, these are my favorite denim shorts I’ve ever owned.

Look how cute the same hoodie from above is with white jeans!  It would also be cute with regular blue jeans and either my camo wedge sneakers or my ribbon lace sneakers.

I wasn’t sure about this next tee, but I wanted to give it a try because it was different than all of my other tees.  It has a small turtleneck and a boxy fit, but the material is so soft and comfy and it drapes nicely!

For size reference, I’m wearing a small in the top.  I’m wearing it casually here with converse.

But it’s also chic enough to be dressed up with leopard flats and gold statement earrings!

And please notice the jeans.  BECAUSE THEY ARE AWESOME.

So let’s talk about the jeans.  They are the new Kut from the Kloth item I’m highlighting this week.

AND I LOVE THEM.

In fact, I love them so much that I’m considering naming them a MUST HAVE!  If you’ve been following along for awhile, you know the MUST HAVE title is a big deal.  The last time I named a MUST HAVE was in March of 2018 where I gave the title to these wedges.  Click HERE for the post.

Last week I highlighted the Kut From The Kloth Catherine boyfriend jeans and I liked them a lot! (For those of you that wanted them on Friday, they’ve been restocked!)  I think they are a fun and different alternative to skinny jeans, and I’ll definitely be grabbing for them in my jean rotation this spring and summer.

BUT THESE!  THESE I LOVE AND ADORE.

They are super stretchy (but they don’t sag!), very comfy, and sooooooooooooooooo flattering.  They hug me in all the right places and just make me feel great.  I love the medium wash, the slight whiskering, and the ankle length.  For size reference, I’m wearing a 4, so I think they’re true to size.

Now I’ve got a cable knit cardi for you, styled with all neutrals.  I like the chunky knit because it’s different than all of my other sweaters and cardis.  I’m wearing a small.  Again, I’m wearing a medium in the tee and a 4 in the jeans.  The flats are true to size.

The Sims stone necklace is 25% OFF with the code HAILTOTHESALE and also comes in turquoise and black.

Here’s the same cardi, in khaki on the left and in black on the right.  Paired with my new favorite jeans and my awesome sneakers with the ribbon laces!

If you are looking for a tee to wear under cardigans with leggings, this is the tee for you.  It’s way too long for me to wear with jeans, but you can see how it would be great to wear with leggings.  It has both the length and the loose fit needed to wear with leggings.  It also has a split hem and is lower in the back.  And I know that some of you taller girls are going to absolutely LOVE IT with jeans too.

I’m wearing a small here, but it definitely runs big.  I think I could size down for the x-small and still have it long enough for leggings.  It comes in 7 colors!

It’s so incredibly soft, I’m actually keeping it to wear as a night shirt!  I wore it last night and was so happy with it.

And last, but certainly not least…I have a wonderful jacket to share.

Y’ALL.

THIS JACKET IS DARLING.

The overall fit is great, and I absolutely love the stand up collar (the best part!).  The collar makes it instantly stylish, and it would be a great addition to pretty much anybody’s closet.  I am very impressed with this jacket and highly recommend it.

It also comes in cream, dusty olive, and navy.  If you don’t have an army green jacket, I recommend the olive because it will function wonderfully as a fun neutral in your outfits.  But since I have several in green, I went for the grey.

I’m pretty much always a 27/4 in jeans, but my size always varies in button up shirts, jackets, and dresses.  In jackets, I’m typically a 6 or an 8. This jacket looked pretty fitted, so I sized up to the 8 and am wearing an 8 here.  I show you in stories how it’s a bit big, so I’m going to return this for the 6.  I think that the 6 will still have a bit of a relaxed fit, so I would say that this is probably true to size for most.

And I didn’t realize this when styling and taking pictures of the jacket for the post, but it also has a drawstring that you can cinch in at the waist!

I’m going to be styling this so many different ways, but pairing it with this hot pink sweater was a no brainer. I love pink and grey together, and the light grey sneakers finished off the outfit perfectly.

I’m wearing a small in the sweater, but it’s very oversized and I’m going to size down to the x-small.  The exact sweater is almost sold out, but I also found this hot pink sweater that is ONLY $20!!!

That’s all the new pieces for today, y’all!  I hope you are just as excited about some of them as I am.

If you have an extra bit of time and you want to take a walk down Amazon memory lane, you can click HERE for my first Amazon haul (in December).  It was one of my Top 5 posts of 2018.

The collage below shares some of my faves from that first post, and many of the items are still available.  If you want to visit that first Amazon post, click HERE.  For those of you still dealing with really cold weather, you should go check it out.  And you should definitely order these leggings.

My 2nd Amazon post was my top post in January, and I showed lots of sweaters, cardigans, and legging combinations.  This cardi is the “pale heather” (looks like a cream).  I’m wearing the x-small here, and it’s still oversized, so definitely size down.

The fit is drapey and open. The sleeves are closer to 3/4 length than full length, but I still love it.  It’s a great sweater for leggings because it will completely cover your bum.

That’s it for today, y’all!  If you have more Amazon recs for me (clothing or otherwise), please leave your suggestions in the comments!  And if you have a favorite from today’s post, I would love to know what that is!  The Amazon finds I’m most excited about are the cardi, the $18 dress, and the military jacket.  But I’m also pumped about the leopard tote and the jersey hoodie.  And although they aren’t Amazon, I must again say that you need to seriously consider the jeans.

Whew!  That was a doozie!  I hope everybody found some stuff they love!
