H&M Try-on

My kids spent some time with my mom so I could make a trip to H&M and find some goodies for you! My mom was happy, the boys were happy, I was happy, and hopefully, this makes you happy! Win win win!

I haven’t been to H&M in a while, and popped in super quickly last week. I ended up grabbing a couple of things for the boys and a clearance dress and pair of shorts for myself. I knew I needed to get back there and do a try on, because they have some great stuff right now!

I seriously had to cut myself off and only buy a few things. I probably could have done a second round in the fitting room if I’d had more time!

First up is this simple, but pretty t-shirt. It has fluttery sleeves and the cutest pattern. You can see below that I paired it with these joggers and also my white shorts. It worked so well with both and would also look great with black shorts or denim. It also came in several patterns if this one isn’t for you. Such a versatile piece and it was only $9.99! It was TTS, I got my normal size small.

Flounce-Sleeved Top

These joggers were similar to the pair I recently tried from Amazon and sent back. This pair was so much more comfortable and had a much better fit. They were $17.99 which was a great price for the quality! I would say they run slightly large. I’m pretty consistently a size 6, and I sized down to a 4 in these. They fit perfectly. They also came in four other colors. 

Pull-On Pants

This top is probably one of my favorite items I tried on. It is gorgeous!! I paired it with my own white shorts, but this would work well with white or classic denim, or even a pair of dress pants! Another super versatile piece! It also came in other patterns as well. This was on the pricier end at $24.99 but the quality was there. I would say it’s TTS, I got a size 2 and it worked perfectly!

V-neck Blouse

Alright, no judgement here. I loved this romper but it did not look good with the bralette I was wearing. Other than that the romper was great! It was so soft and comfortable! This would probably pair best with a strapless bra or a different style of bralette. Um, the best part? It has pockets! It’s TTS, I’m wearing a small. 

Viscose Jumpsuit

I wanted to pretend I’m not in my thirties and wear something super trendy for this outfit. I thought the shorts were super cute. But they ran SUPER small. I had a size 6 and they barely fit. So definitely size up on these! The top I thought was so adorable! Its definitely a cropped fit, so if you aren’t comfortable with that, I recommend either tucking it in to high waist shorts or skipping it. It was only $12.99! The shorts were $17.99. Definitely size up!

Ribbed Tank Top | Twill Shorts High Waist

This dress was so fun and different for me. I really liked it! It was the most expensive item I took to the fitting room, at $49.99, but I would say it was absolutely worth the price. The zipper completely unzips, making putting it on and taking it off super simple. The material is a thick twill type material. I would say it runs a bit on the smaller side, I grabbed a 4 and could easily have sized up to a 6. The belt is removable, not that I’d wear it without, but for washing purposes, it does come off. Looking online, the pink color is sold out (my store had plenty, so I’d check in the store near you) but they do have a white version that I didn’t see in the store, and I like that one a lot too!

Twill Biker Dress

This dress is the same as the super clearance find I grabbed this week, but it’s full price. Which is only $12.99 and absolutely worth it. Its a perfect length, super comfy, and pairs perfectly with a cute little bralette! You could throw this on over your swimsuit, or dress it up and wear it to work with a cardigan or jean jacket. Its honestly the perfect little summer dress! It came in several colors as well! It’s TTS. I’m wearing my normal size small!

Modal-Blend Jersey Dress

This black tank was perfect! Perfect, Perfect, Perfect! I had to talk myself out of buying yet another black tank, because the 15 I’ve already got are enough. BUT, if you need a black tank… This is for you girl! It was the perfect length to either front tuck, or untuck and wear as is. It would also be adorable knotted in the front. You could wear it with literally any bottoms and it would be great. It was TTS I have my normal size small! And you guys, THESE SHORTS. They are AMAZING and only $9.99… They came home with me. I don’t own any yellow shorts. They fit so well, and for under $10?! Hello, that’s a no-brainer for me. They are TTS, I got my normal size 6.

While we are here, let’s talk about camera angle shall we? Ugh. Ignore that mirror image of me from behind. It might be the most unflattering photo I’ll ever post… Such is life. I’m a real person. I have real bad angles. We all do. And its OKAY!

V-Neck Jersey Top |Denim Shorts High Waist

This ribbed tank was so comfortable! It paired really well with these yellow shorts, but would also look amazing with a pair of jeans or even black shorts. Just like a majority of the things I tried on, it’s super versatile! It was $14.99, which is a tad more than the other tanks I tried on, but I’d say it was definitely worth it. It was also TTS, I’m wearing a small. 

Ribbed Tank Top

I brought this tank top home as well as the shorts. It paired so well with the shorts and was unlike any other tank I have! It was lower cut in the back as well, so you could see the criss-cross of the bralette I was wearing. You could pair this with a bralette or a low back bra if you’re more comfortable with that. It was $12.99 and absolutely worth it. Also TTS, I’m wearing a small. 

Jersey Tank Top

This rust colored tank was so pretty! I absolutely loved the lace details on the shoulders! It came in a couple of other colors, but I was just drawn to this one! It paired perfectly with my white shorts, but would look amazing with any bottom, really. At only $9.99, it was hard to not take it home with me! 

Jersey Tank with Lace

I told you, so much good stuff! It was so hard to not take almost everything home that I tried on. I have to show some self restraint though!

Sandals I’m Loving

Let’s talk sandals, shall we? If you ask my husband, he would say I have too many shoes… That’s not even a real thing is it? Don’t men understand that the shoes literally make the outfit. I could completely change up an outfit just by switching my shoes! So, like everyone, I’m sure you need another pair of sandals to add to your summer wardrobe. Or if you live where it’s always warm, you definitely need more sandals. I live in Ohio, where we never really know what season it is, but we still wear sandals a lot. Its a really confusing place.

I looked around and found some fairly inexpensive and adorable sandals for you! I’m really having a tough time deciding which pair is my favorite! There are so many good pairs. And honestly… this isn’t even half of the sandals I’m loving. But, I don’t want to overwhelm you with selections. 🙂

Take a look and let me know what pair you’re dying to add to your closet!

Amazon Prime Wardrobe

The following links are affiliate codes and I will be compensated if you make a purchase after clicking.

Online shopping is great, but there are just some things that need to be tried on. And who wants to order something online, find it doesn’t fit when it arrives, and then have to package it back up and take it to UPS to return it. (Okay, maybe I’m being a little bit dramatic, but then what’s the point of telling the story?) Honestly, with it being summer break, and having two little guys, it’s not often I’ll be finding much alone time to do a ton of shopping in store.

When I first read about Prime Wardrobe, it immediately caught my attention. You mean I can order things on Amazon, try them on, and then pay for what I want to keep and send the rest back?? It’s like having a fitting room in my own house! Of course, you still have to return things if they don’t work, but you never get charged for them. When you order something online and then return it, it can take weeks to be refunded. And who has time for that? This is basically getting clothes sent to you to try on for free and sending back what doesn’t work and buying what does. 

I will say, as I was perusing the items on Amazon, a lot of things I was interested in trying either weren’t available for Prime Wardrobe, or if they were, my size was sold out. Oh well. I’ll try again next time. They do have a lot of the Amazon brand, Daily Ritual. Which from my experience is all really good quality. I’ve got several items from that line and love them. So I was excited to try more! I know that a lot of the cheaper items on Amazon (some of my favorite things) seem to be ineligible for Prime Wardrobe. Which honestly isn’t that surprising. 

The way it works is, you choose 3-8 items that are eligible for Prime Wardrobe, check out, and wait for your package to arrive. They give you a total value of everything you’re getting when you check out, but your card does not get charged until you checkout again online, at which time you tell them what you’re keeping and what you’re sending back (and why you’re returning it).

When I opened the package I pulled out my packing slip, which gave me a breakdown of each item and it’s cost – super helpful, because I had completely forgotten how much everything was. Each item was wrapped individually in its own plastic bag – easy to keep track of what goes where when you’re returning. Lastly, the pre-printed return label.

You have 7 days from the delivery date to check out and return the items. If you don’t do anything by the 7 day mark they just charge you for everything and it’s yours. My package was delivered on Friday, May 31. I have until Friday, June 7 to return it.

I definitely spent some time scouring the website to decide what items I really wanted to try on. Of course I filled it with the maximum number of items, because why wouldn’t you. It’s already coming to my house, I might as well get as much as I can.

You can shop these items by clicking the photos at the top of the post!

Item #1 – Daily Ritual Women’s Skinny Stretch Jegging

Unfortunately, these are going back. I honestly can’t even give a fit review, because they are SO big on me. I ordered a medium short, because I haven’t worn a size small in any pants since middle school. I definitely liked the color, the style was good, the material seemed great, I just don’t have an opinion of the fit. Overall, they have a 4 star rating with over 1000 reviews, so they must be good, just make sure to get the right size.

Item #2 – Daily Ritual Women’s Tencel Tie Waist Jogger

These honestly weren’t terrible, but the combination of them being a tad too large, and the material just didn’t sit right on me. If they were more of a cotton/spandex material, I believe they would have worked a bit better for me. They’re really nice. They are a great fabric and I absolutely loved the color, but they’ll be going back as well. You can see these on me in the photo below. 

Item #3 – Daily Ritual Women’s Lightweight 100% Supima Cotton Short-Sleeve V-Neck T-Shirts

These shirts are so good! I sized up to a medium, because I prefer my T-shirts to fit a little more on the loose side and they were perfect. I would honestly say if anything, that they run a tad on the small side. A small would have not fit me the way I’d have liked it to.  I highly recommend them. And the price is unbeatable! It was two shirts for $17!

img_8558IMG_8555

 

Item #4 – Daily Ritual Women’s Cozy Knit Dolman-Sleeve V-Neck Tunic

This top is so soft! I have nothing but positive things to say about it. First of all, the color is gorgeous. Its a heavier material, so its not see through at all! It has a wider neck so you could easily wear a cute bralette and see just the top of it. Its a longer top, so it looks great with a front tuck or would also pair with leggings really well! I took one photo tucked into my shorts and one untucked so you can see the length. This item is TTS – I got my normal size small.

IMG-8559IMG-8560

Item #5 – Levi’s Women’s 501 Shorts, Black Eye

I loved these! They fit me perfectly. I’m sending them back, however, simply because they are $20 more than the other two pairs. They’re really comfortable and high waisted. However, of the three pairs I tried, I would say they are a bit on the short side. It didn’t bother me that much, and I prefer my shorts to be longer, so they really weren’t that short. Just something to keep in mind. These are TTS – I got my normal size 6.

IMG-8553IMG-8554IMG-8552

Item #6 – Alternative Women’s Printed Slouchy Pullover, Eco Grey/Camo

This one is for sure a keeper! I sized up to a medium because I wanted a more oversized fit. I would say it fits perfectly oversized! I love this. Of course, its probably just because it has camo, let’s be honest! Its super soft and comfortable. Perfect for cooler summer days, like today, and transitioning into fall. You can see another photo in the flat-lay below. I would say the item is TTS – I easily could have fit into a small, but as I said I went with the medium for that oversized fit. 

IMG-8544IMG-8541

Item # 7 – Levi’s Women’s 501 Shorts, Blanco

I’m not sure why these are different, but I like them about 100 times more than the black pair. I was actually in the market for a new pair of white shorts so I couldn’t pass these up! They fit perfectly true to size. They have just the right amount of stretch. They aren’t see through AT ALL. (Little secret, I planned poorly and was wearing black underwear when I took these photos, and you can’t tell!) You can also see them in several photos above. These are TTS – I got my normal size 6.

IMG-8557IMG-8549

Item # 8 – Levi’s Women’s 501 Shorts, Got Owned

These are great as well, however, I am sending them back. I preferred the white pair because they were more stretchy. This pair was great! They clearly stated on the tag that they had no stretch. This kind of material definitely has its time and place. I would have kept them, honestly, but I have my favorite pair from American Eagle that is just slightly darker than this one, so I’m sending them back. They weren’t uncomfortable at all. I just didn’t need them. I would say they are TTS – I got my normal size 6. 

IMG-8543IMG-8536IMG-8539

 

 

Overall, my experience with Prime Wardrobe was a pleasant one. I really liked that I could shop through tons of items on Amazon, have them delivered to my door, and ship them back if I didn’t want to keep them! I think it’s a great idea and I hope you give it a shot too!

JCPenney Try On

I found so many great things at JCPenney this week! I honestly had a hard time picking the things I could take with me and what I had to (sadly) leave behind.

First up, this basic pair of black sandals. They were SO COMFORTABLE! I suggest sizing down if between sizes. You can see they are a bit loose on me. I also have extremely narrow feet though.

Get them here

These sandals are a great spin on the Birkenstock dupes you see everywhere. I’ve got a pair of dupes and love them. I just can’t bring myself to splurge that much on sandals. – No Tory Burch Millers for this girl either. They are pretty true to size, and the adjustable straps made them perfect! They also come in rose gold and black.

Get them here

There wasn’t a cuter pair of shoes in the store! These caught my attention and I couldn’t pass them up! They fit TTS and also came in black!

Get them here

This tank! I know, its just a basic tank. But its so good! I ended up grabbing it in several colors. It was under $7 and will literally go with anything! I would say if anything it runs slightly large, I was able to get an XS. The shorts… I am in love! I tried on my normal size 6 and they were super comfortable. A true midrise, and a great length for those of us who prefer to not go out in public in our underwear. 😉

Tank | Shorts

I’m wearing the same tank here with this super cute and comfy pair of shorts.

Get them here

Where are my taller girls at? This dress would look great on someone with longer legs than me! I love the style, it just hit me at such an awkward spot.

Get it here

This top reminds me so much of my favorite from Old Navy! This is a heavier material, so that’s something to keep in mind but I think I actually prefer it over the old navy one!

Get it here

I mean, I liked it enough to get it in green too! I couldn’t pass it up!

I absolutely adore this tank top. However it is see through, so you’d want to wear a strapless bra or maybe a nude tank under it. But how gorgeous is it??

Have you found anything good at JCPenney lately?

What other places would you like to see try-ons from?
