I know I do a lot of try-ons at Old Navy, but that’s because they have really high quality items for such a reasonable price. I actually ran in to make a few returns the other day and saw SO many amazing spring pieces that I had to try some of them on. Who else is OVER winter and so ready for spring and summer?!
Also, LOL at my fake tan. I didn’t go all the way up my thigh with it because it’s definitely not shorts season right now and I’m not about wasting product.
You guys. This romper. It is absolutely gorgeous! The pattern is so pretty! It has a little button hook on the back of the neck, and opens up, so it’s super easy to put on and take off. I’m wearing a small, so I’d say it’s TTS.
These sandals are literally the most comfortable pair of sandals. I have the leopard pair from last summer and I’ll be buying the tan ones once it’s warmer for sure! They’re TTS, I’m wearing an 8 here but I have an 8.5 in the leopard and they fit perfectly. If you have wider feed I would size up.
This dress was another item that caught my eye! It’s a swing dress so it’s very flowy and relaxed. Thus it may not be an ideal fit for everyone. I think it would look super cute belted and with booties for spring! I sized down to an XS, and I definitely recommend going down a size unless you have a larger chest or shoulders.
I absolutely loved this top on the hanger, and definitely would have gone with a size small, but all they had was an XS. I thought it just had such a pretty detailed pattern on it. It came in several other color options but I really liked this off-grey shade. Definitely go with your true size in this one.
This was a perfect pair of basic denim shorts. They are a mid rise and have a 3” inseam, which is my favorite. I’d say go with your true size or size up one if you like a looser fit. I’m wearing a 4 and they’re fine but a 6 would have worked as well.
This top might just be my favorite thing I tried on. It is absolutely beautiful! The pattern and colors are just so gorgeous for spring. It fit really well, I’m wearing my true size small.
I really liked this button front shirt. It was very crisp and clean looking and I love how it paired with the distressed shorts. It would also look super cute with black denim or shorts. Another cute option would be to layer it with a cardigan.
I definitely needed a size up in these shorts. I went with my normal Old Navy size, and they were a boyfriend fit, but pretty snug. They weren’t uncomfortable, I would have just preferred a size up. I loved the distressing and the color!
Lastly, I threw on this super soft and cozy hoodie. I could live in this thing! I really loved the subtle tie-dye pattern. It also came in at least one other color! I sized up to a medium in this one for a more over sized fit. (I definitely wouldn’t pair it with these shoes.)
Which was your favorite item? Are you ready for spring fashion, or do you live in a place like lovely Ohio, that still has quite a while before its time for cute springy items?
Isn’t it funny how you go shopping and grab things off the racks thinking they’ll look amazing on you, and they look atrocious (only when you really had high hopes of course). But then, you grab something you’re totally not feeling and put it on, and it’s like it was made custom for you!? I’ve always found that interesting. I feel like it’s always the case for me!
First up, this dress. It caught my eye from across the store and I knew I was going to love it. However, I recommend sizing down. There was only one in the entire store, so I’m assuming it was an online return, or it sold like hotcakes as soon as it hit the rack. I’m almost always a small at Old Navy and that was the size of this dress. I love the fit of it, but I would definitely have been more comfortable in an XS. You can see that the dress was overall just a little bit baggy on me and the sleeves weren’t the right fit. Overall its a super cute, high quality dress and I highly recommend it, just size down.
I absolutely loved the fit of these booties! They were TTS, I had on a size 8. They hit just at the perfect spot on my ankles, they looked great with everything that I tried on, and they were a great price!
I feel like sometimes my outfits that I share as a teacher, are very relaxed for some. I know that I have a super chill dress code and I’m super thankful for that, but I also know that everything I wear isn’t something that all teachers can wear.
So, I decided to give Old Navy’s Pixie pants a try! I went SUPER out of my comfort zone and tried on a bright red pair. I generally stick to more basics when it comes to bottoms, since my thighs are my least favorite area of my body. I know that I’m on the smaller side in the scheme of things, but that doesn’t mean I’m perfect, or perfectly happy with every inch of my body. In the past I’ve found that non-black or darker colored dress pants tend to show all of the flaws that I’m trying to hide. However, these did not! I really loved the fit of them. They’re an “ankle” pant, but I have short legs, so they were definitely full length on me. To get a true ankle fit, I’d need the petite length. To try these with the booties, I just cuffed them at the bottom. They’re TTS, I’m wearing a 4.
I’ve tried this sweater on before in the camel color, and I still love it. Its such a soft, cozy sweater, but not too heavy. It’s a nice lightweight material, and has a shorter length, not cropped, but hits just at the waist, so I wouldn’t recommend it with leggings. Otherwise its TTS, I’m wearing a small.
This next sweater was just a perfect soft and cozy piece. I sized up to a medium for a more oversized fit and I loved the way it fit me. The color was just the perfect neutral and it would look awesome with pretty much any pant option.
The black pants I’m wearing are the same pixies as the red pair but I grabbed a size 2 because they didn’t have a 4. They fit perfectly fine, obviously just a smidge tighter than the red ones but I was happy with the fit.
This sweater had to come home with me. I was in love with it. It’s perfect for leggings but also looked great with the black dress pants as well. I actually styled it similarly with my own black booties and black denim, also from Old Navy here.
Same sweater but I wanted to show it with my all time favorite white denim. I talk about these things all the dang time, in fact, these weren’t really a part of the try-on, because they were the pants I wore to the store. But they’re so good, and still available so I can’t not share them. I highly recommend sizing up in this pair. I have a 4 (I’m usually 2/4 at ON) and they’re SUPER snug.
I also paired this outfit with my own mules that I was wearing that day. This pair of mules is so cute and I get SO many compliments when I wear them. They’re a great rusty brown color, run TTS, and go with everything!
I was browsing the flannels and I really liked this option. It was so different from all the others, so I grabbed it to try on. I paired it with a luxe shirt underneath and my white denim and mules. I loved the combo! It’s TTS, I’m wearing the small. You can easily go up a size for a more oversized fit.
I paired it with a luxe top, which you can never go wrong with! Super comfy and cute! It’s TTS, I’m wearing a small.
I’ve been loving the cardi-coat trend, and was super excited to try this one! Unfortunately I needed an XS because the small is slightly too large on me. However, it was super warm and cozy! I loved it!
I kept the luxe top on with it and threw on a cute pair of light wash denim. Of course I had to cuff them #shortlegproblems. But they were super comfortable and a great basic pair of denim.
I was looking for another simple shirt to pair with the denim, and I found this! It was super soft and super cute. I sized up to a medium to have a more oversized fit and it fit great!
You know how sometimes you go shopping and you are so ready to spend some money on new things, but you can’t find ANYTHING?! But then other times, you just have some free time and want to browse but not really spend a ton, and you want literally everything that you try on or look at! That does happen to other people right?! Well, that was me during this trip to Kohl’s. I haven’t been there in a while, and had a few minutes after school to stop and take a peek. Guys, I could’ve easily bought every single thing I touched. I think its a mind game. Maybe I need to go “browse” more often when I’m actually in need of something. I’m not even exaggerating when I say that I wanted to buy every single item I tried on!

First, let’s talk about these booties. I’ve got them on in every picture, and that shows just how versatile they are. They’re the absolute cutest, they come in several different colors, some patent finish and some suede finish like these. Both are great options, and I love all of the colors!
This dress was one of the first items I saw when I walked into the store. I thought it was so cute, but had a feeling I wasn’t going to love it on me. I was so wrong! This was adorable! It was also super comfy and had pockets. That right there should be the selling point. Dresses with pockets are 100 times better than dresses without. Everything about this dress was wonderful. It’s a “mini” dress, so it may be a tad too short for some people’s liking, but I’m only 5’4″, so it hit me at a great spot, just above my knees. It was loose and flowy, but also fitted in the right spots. The sleeves were so adorable too! It’s TTS, I’m wearing a small.
In addition to this sweater being the absolute perfect fall color, it has the cutest cut as well! I love that it’s long enough for leggings, but also a great length to pair with jeans. It was super soft and comfortable, and also very lightweight and perfect for the transition into fall. It’s TTS, I’m wearing a small.
LC by Lauren Conrad never disappoints me. These jeans were a perfect non-distressed pair of comfortable, mid-rise denim. The wash was a great color, the rise was perfect, and the overall fit was just great! I of course had to cuff them because they were too long on me, but they do come in a short option online, which I would definitely opt for with my height. Otherwise they are TTS, I’m wearing a 6.
This sweater is another lightweight option for the fall, and I’m loving the color! This would look great as it is with denim, or with a pair of dressier pants for work. It was super comfortable and TTS, I’m wearing a small.
Of course if you’ve been following me for any length of time, you know how much I love leopard anything. When I saw this part of me was thinking it was a little bit too Lisa Frank-ish, but the other part of me was thinking about how much I loved Lisa Frank and that was the part that won. Its a really fun take on a basic print, but its not too bright or obnoxious. Add in that these tees are some of the softest out there, and its a winner for sure! It’s TTS, I’m wearing a small.
I think that this sweater is absolutely darling! It also comes in a leopard print as well. Its definitely more of a fitted sweater, rather than the oversized look that we all love. But, I think everyone needs a good fitted option. I paired it with leggings, but it would look great with dress pants for work or denim on the weekend! It’s TTS, I’m wearing a small.
These leggings are a great pair of “pants” leggings. They’re the thick material that have a thick waistband to hold everything in. They don’t look bad with this sweater, but I’d prefer to wear a longer sweater to cover my booty a little more with them. Of course that is all a matter of personal preference! They’re TTS, I’m wearing a small.
This tunic top was a great simple top to throw on with jeans or dress pants! It was the LC by Lauren Conrad brand and had super cute back detail, that I unfortunately do not have a photo of. (I’m a great blogger, I know.) It was super comfortable, and just an easy piece that didn’t require much thought. A steamer, maybe, but thought, none needed. It’s TTS, I’m wearing a small.
This top is actually the same as the top above, but just a different color option. I thought they were two different shirts, but when I pull them up online, they are the same. The lace on the bottom definitely changes it up enough for me to consider them two different shirts and want both of them. Same as the other, it’s TTS, I’m wearing a small.
I’m never going to give up on leopard, so of course I was in love with this one when I saw it. It has some of my favorite elements.. leopard, puffy sleeves, the perfect length to give it more of a dressy appearance. This is definitely a top I would pair with actual black pants or denim, not leggings. It didn’t look bad with these leggings, its again, just more of a comfort thing. Especially for wearing to work. But you can get the idea of what it would look like with some black pants. It’s TTS, I’m wearing a small.
Black is so difficult to photograph, I even tried to lighten the photo so that you could see it a little better and this was all I could do. But I had to share this blazer with you. I love a good blazer with a graphic tee and denim, with a dressy tank and dress pants, over a swing dress… the options are abundant. A good blazer has to be comfortable. I can’t wear something if its not comfortable! I’ve tried on a lot of blazers in my life and I’ve got a few great options in my closet that I love and can’t bear the thought of parting with, but I’ve also tried some really stiff and uncomfortable ones as well. This one, I’d say it ranks in my top 5 most comfortable blazers I’ve ever tried on. It’s definitely a more relaxed, boyfriend fit for a blazer, so if you’re looking for something super tailored and form fitting, this is not the blazer for you. If you want something relaxed but still put together, this is for you! It’s TTS, I’m wearing a small.
Another awesome piece from Lauren Conrad’s line! I absolutely love the sleeve detail on this sweater. It’s super lightweight and soft, and an appropriate length for leggings. I love the speckled look throughout the material and the tie on the hip just gives it a little something different. the sleeves are slightly ballooned out and I absolutely loved it! If you’re looking for a more fitted top, size down, otherwise I’d say its TTS, I’m wearing the small.
I may have saved the best for last. I’m seriously so in love with this trend of sweaters with skirts and booties. This sweater was so incredibly soft, I’m pretty sure I need it in every single color. It’s not tight around the neck at all, the sleeves are perfectly ballooned, and the length is perfect for a front tuck. It’s TTS, I’m wearing a small.
This skirt is a MUST have for fall! It was honestly the most comfortable skirt I think I’ve ever worn. I grabbed a size 4 and could easily have sized down to a 2, it was very loose. So, I highly recommend sizing down at least one size. The color is amazing, the comfort is off the charts, the fit is just perfect! I can’t say enough good things about it!
What were your favorite items from this try-on? I’m not even sure if I’d be able to decide! So many good things! Let me know in the comments what you’re loving!
It’s been a little while since I shared some stuff from Target with you guys, so I thought I’d check the clothing out and see what I could find. We all know I’m at Target a shameful number of times per week, especially now that I’m back to school and I can stop in there really quickly without my children.

First up, this adorable leopard dress. It’s a midi length, so it’s definitely work appropriate! The buttons are functional, so it’s a nursing friendly option, which is so hard to find in a cute dress! It comes with the belt attached and looks perfect! I’m wearing the XS in this photo because it was all they had in stock. I would have preferred the small, because it was bunching a bit. So I would say it’s TTS.
My booties are from Target as well, but they’re a bit older and out of stock in most regular sizes. However, they are available in most wide sizes!
I absolutely loved this top! The color is perfect for fall! The fit was so comfortable! It would look great with denim, colored denim, or white denim like I’m wearing here. It’s TTS, I’m wearing a small!
This pair of white denim is so cute, but unfortunately too long for me. I had to cuff them and I just didn’t love the way that it looked with these booties. I feel like it made me look much shorter than I already am. They were very comfortable, and as you’ll see, they looked much better with the flats I tried on. They’re TTS, I’m wearing a 6.
This shirt is one of my favorite items I tried on. It’s perfect for the current transition from summer to fall. It looks great with shorts and pants. It’s super comfortable, hits at exactly the right length, and comes in a variety of colors. It’s TTS, I’m wearing a small.
I absolutely love love love these flats! They’re a perfect color for fall, the fit is amazing. They’re TTS, I’m wearing an 8.
No joke the day after I tried this sweatshirt on, one of my students was wearing it to school! That honestly made me love it even more! It’s so cute, so comfy, and just perfect. I love the stripes, the colors, and the little embroidered heart! It’s TTS, I’m wearing a small.
This denim was such an amazing pair of clean, simple denim. They are so comfortable. The perfect dark wash with no distressing. As always, I had to cuff them, but that’s not a huge issue for me. The best part?! They’re $15!!
A perfect go to outfit for running errands or lounging around the house. Throw on a tee, leggings, and a sweater and you’re good to go!
I absolutely adore this cardigan. It’s such an amazing color! The fit was also great! It’s long enough for leggings and I can’t get enough! It’s TTS, I’m wearing a small.
As always, a simple white tee is essential. This is a small and I think I would have preferred a medium, especially since I was wearing it with leggings, and well…. two kids = no longer perfectly flat stomach. I’ve gone through multiple of these tees from Target and will continue to love them!
These leggings! They’re supposed to be a great dupe for the Spanx faux leather leggings. I’m not at a point in my life where I can justify $100 leggings, so I opted for the $15 pair from Target, and y’all, they’re good. So. Good! I am obsessed. I actually sized down in these to a small and they’re perfect!
Years ago I was obsessed with zebra print. I think I went through a phase where I was kind of over it, but animal print is back this fall and I am here for it!! I’ve never really stopped loving the animal prints, but I toned them down when they weren’t as popular. This sweater is so cute! I love the balloon sleeves. I will be honest, though, it was slightly itchy. I was hot and in a rush and flustered, but I do remember it wasn’t the absolute softest thing I’ve ever tried on. was it cute?! Yes. Would I still wear it? Absolutely! It paired so well with the same leggings and flats from the previous picture. My store didn’t have a small, so I tried on the medium. I’d have gone with the small if they’d had one in stock. It’s definitely TTS.
I paired the sweater with the same leggings and flats but it would also work with denim as well.
If you haven’t already heard, Old Navy is having a 40% off sale right now and they are fully stocked with amazing, already affordable items. Take 40% off and you are sure to score some major steals! The sale ends today, so make sure to grab your favorites before it ends!

I was able to stop in super quickly the other day and try on a few items to share with you guys! The sale is online only, but if you prefer to get the items that same day, you can always do the buy online, pickup in store option. It’s super easy and quick, and you usually get a better deal by purchasing the items online!
I saw this sweatshirt from across the store, and we all know I’m slightly obsessed with leopard (only a little, right?) and knew I had to try it on. It seemed shorter, so I grabbed a medium to try on. I could have gotten away with the small. This sweatshirt was SO soft. I loved the tie detail around the waist as well. Overall a very cute and comfy piece that would be perfect with leggings or high waisted denim!
I absolutely DO NOT need another pair of denim, but I’m a denim girl and always have been, so I couldn’t resist the chance to try on yet another pair. I’m pretty sure by the end of this year, I will have tried on and/or own every single pair of denim that Old Navy sells/has sold/will sell. Old Navy denim is just good. It is affordable, high quality, comfortable, and lasts. What more could you ask for in a pair of denim. Aside from American Eagle, I’d have to say Old Navy is one of my favorite brands for denim. Okay, now that we got that long sidebar out of the way… As I was saying, this pair is great. I knew it would be. I loved that it was an “ankle” length and it actually hit me right at my ankle. I’m 5’4” and sometimes things don’t fit my legs exactly like I want them to. This pair did! They’re TTS, I’m wearing a 2. (I’m generally a size 4 or 6 but Old Navy runs larger on me, so I’m either a 2 or 4 here.)
I’ve been looking at these mules for a while, and if you ask me, they’re a must have. They’re the PERFECT cognac color for fall and the fit is flawless.
Same denim, different top. I saw this sweater on the rack, and it was love at first sight. Not only was the color purely perfection, but the fit! It was so good, and now as I look at this picture, I realize what a terrible shot I took of the shirt. I’m literally covering up the best part with my hair and phone. I’m a really good fashion blogger.
This tunic sweater is literally everything you need for this fall and winter. It comes in so many different color options and the fit is so good. I have it in a small and I’d say it’s perfectly TTS. It looks so good with denim and leggings! The possibilities are endless!
This darker wash denim is another great option if you are looking for a non-distressed pair of denim. They’re TTS, I’m wearing a 2.
Another great sweater option! This multi-colored sweater is so soft and cozy! I love the puffy sleeves and the open neck. It gives the option to be worn off the shoulder as well! It’s TTS, I’m wearing a small.
One more perfect sweater! Can you tell I’m here for fall?! I’m over the shorts and tanks, give me the cozies and pumpkin everything please! This camel color is perfection. The fit is amazing. I can’t say enough good about this sweater! It’s TTS, I’m wearing a small!
Last but not least, an outfit that can be so easily changed by just swapping your pants. I love this denim jacket! It is perfect! I went with my true small and it fits great! You can size up for a more oversized fit. I have this in a different wash in a medium and it fits me really well also.
For some reason I’m struggling to find this top online, but I’m linking the most similar option I can find. It’s a luxe top, which are some of the best from Old Navy, but you could easily wear the t-shirt or tank version and achieve the same look!
I love these pants so much I’ve got them in several colors! They fit amazingly well. If you’re between sizes I recommend going with your larger, for example, like I said earlier I’m usually a 2/4 in Old Navy and I prefer these in a size 4. They don’t stretch out at all. These pants were actually the pants I wore the day I did the try-on and I’d been wearing them all day when I took this picture!
I just posted a month or so ago about how my love for AE was back and then started struggling to find items I love in the store. The problem is, the stores around me aren’t the greatest so I have to do a majority of my shopping online. American Eagle definitely has a much larger selection online! (And I believe that some stores are just bigger and better than what I’ve got locally)

For sizing reference… I’m 5’4″ and around 135 lbs. I typically wear a small in tops and 4/6 in bottoms.
First up this basic sweatshirt. I actually didn’t love the color as much on me as I did when I saw it on the shelf. I loved the color for fall, but maybe it was a combination of the fit and color that I just wasn’t feeling. Maybe it was the shorts. I’d definitely still wear this color, but I think I’d like it better with leggings.
The sweatshirt does come in a ton of other color options and it is so comfortable, so I highly recommend it. If this color looks better on you than it does on me, then rock it! I really loved the tie-dye options! There were also a lot more choices online than there were in the store. I’m wearing a small and I’d say it runs large. I could have easily sized down.
These shorts were amazing. Like, I can’t come up with a better word than amazing. They’re the Tomgirl short shorts, but honestly, they’re not really short to me. Either I’m more confident about the size of my thighs, or I’ve officially reached the age where I’ve stopped caring what people think about my thighs. If its hot out, this mama is wearing her shorts. They’re TTS, I’m wearing 6.
Of course my store had a return of these Aerie sweatshirts that literally everyone is raving about and I had to try them on! They run so large! I’m wearing a small and could easily have done the XS. However it wasn’t so big that it looked sloppy either. They really are as comfortable and cute as everyone says! I tried on both that my store had and it was a tough decision as to which I liked better!
I decided to try a cropped sweater. Not a slightly cropped sweater but a fully cropped sweater. Full disclosure, I didn’t like it on me. I’ve had two kids, and even when my abs (lol I never had abs) or I mean, stomach was flatter I still didn’t really care to show it off. The sweater is super cute, and I was able to make it work by doing a small front tuck. I really loved it, but it just wasn’t practical for me to buy because its not an item I’ll wear to work at all. But, it was super soft and cozy and definitely a great option.
So, sticking with that cropped sweater, I wanted to see what other options I could pair it with. I am literally obsessed with these pants. They’re so stinking comfortable! I already have several other pairs of green pants and didn’t need them so, I didn’t buy them, but if you are in the market for a pair of green pants with a more casual twist, these are for you girl! I would say they’re TTS, I’m wearing a 6 but easily could have done the 4. They’re super stretchy!
I paired those same pants with this amazing Aerie sweater. It comes in several options and I’m in love. This sweater is perfect for transition into fall. You’re going to see me wearing this one allll the time.
I think that this tank is the perfect layering piece for fall. Throw it on with a cardigan and you’re good to go. There were a couple of different color options. It’s super soft and comfortable. I’m wearing a small so I’d definitely call it TTS.
I have been wanting to try a pair of cropped flare denim so when I saw this pair in my size I grabbed them. I feel like for my height they needed to be slightly more cropped. They just hit me at a place that makes it look like I bought my pants too long and tried to hem them, making them too short. They were super comfortable and if you’re a bit taller than me I would recommend them for sure! They do come in short sizes online, so I may have to check that out!
I paired the tank with a standard dark wash, high waisted skinny jean and again just needed to add a cardigan. These jeans were so comfortable and TTS, I’m wearing a 4. I could have gone with a 6 and if I’d purchased them that would be what I’d have gone with. But they didn’t have one in store.
The last item I have to share with you is this ah-mazingly soft pair of leopard plush leggings. I can’t say I’d go out in these, but for lounging around the house?! Perfection. They’re seriously the softest thing I’ve ever felt! I don’t think I’d necessarily pair them with this sweater, but I didn’t have anything else in the fitting room to pair them with. It was hard to take them off to leave the store!
They’re definitely a comfy loungewear pair of leggings. There is no compression whatsoever, so if that’s what you’re looking for, then these may not be for you. If you’re looking for something cozy to snuggle up in the winter with, get them!
I feel like JCPenney is so underrated sometimes. I’ve been striking gold the last few times I’ve shopped there and I feel like I need to shout it from the rooftops. I have found that JCPenney is a great place to find some quality, affordable closet staples. They also have some really great affordable trendy pieces as well. Another perk, you can almost always find a coupon of some sort to save you some extra money. For example, right now if you spend $100, you can save an additional 30% or 25% off of a purchase under $100 with the code ACTNOW26. Of course as with all coupons, some items are excluded.
Another thing I love about JCPenney is that they give you the option to pick your items up in store, or ship them to the store for a reduced or free shipping cost. Who actually wants to pay for shipping?
I was able to put together a few different outfits with a few pieces. I created a few casual looks and a few work appropriate looks as well. Everything I tried on was great and super affordable.
I’ll be completely honest with you, JCPenney doesn’t have the best website or app. They tend to give me issues, but I just have to work through them and find the good stuff. Or, you can let me do the work for you! That’s why I do these posts!
First up, a super simple outfit that could honestly be recreated with any white tee and pair of camo pants. These tees are so comfy and so affordable. I’ve actually got quite a few at home in several different colors. I’m wearing a small here, they are TTS. I have it tucked into the front and you can see that there is definitely some extra material. The shirt is a great length!
These pants are what caught my attention first and actually prompted this try-on. I’ve been looking for a great pair of camo pants and these could be a top contender. They’re super stretchy and comfortable! The rise is high enough that they won’t be riding down, but its definitely not a true “high-rise” pant that comes up to your belly button. I’m wearing a 5 and they’re slightly loose on me, so I’d say if you are between sizes, go with the smaller size. If you’re not, I’d go with your true size. I’m thinking that after washing and drying, they’ll shrink down just a bit.
I just swapped out the tee for a tank that I also have and love. I’m wearing a small in this picture and it fits me fine, but I prefer the XS in this top. They definitely do run larger, so I’d recommend sizing down if you want it to be a little bit more fitted. Go with your true size if you prefer a looser fit.
I told you guys before that I’ll be forever searching for the perfect black denim. This is a fantastic pair (who am I kidding, they’re Levi’s so I knew they would be) to wear to work. They have no distressing and fit like a glove. They’re so comfortable! I’m wearing a size 28 here but could have sized down for sure to the 27, so I’d say they run TTS.
I spotted this cardigan and couldn’t resist the color. Its great for the fall transition, and also comes in a couple of other colors. It has a hood and I just love the pattern of the knit. It fits TTS, I’m wearing the small.
This next cardigan is a super win! I never in a million years would have chosen it based on the model online. I’m so glad I found it in store. The buttons are functional and you can absolutely button them, but I prefer the look of them being unbuttoned. This cardigan is so soft! I never ever want to take it off. The sleeves are cuffed and this shade is pure perfection for fall! It will look awesome with denim and booties! Its TTS I’m wearing a small.
I thought that this tank was such a pretty top for work or for date night. You can easily throw a cardigan or blazer over this and a dressy heel. It was super comfortable and looked great on! I think it would look awesome with a black pencil skirt, a thin belt, and a pair of black heels. It’s TTS I’m wearing a small.
This tee is perfection. Of course half of the reason I’m loving it is the cheetah print. But the fit of the top is great too! It has a rounded neck and a great length. The sleeves are folded up too, but its not a thick fold that would look terrible under a cardigan. This is a great piece because it can be dressed up or down. It’s also super affordable!
This is such a fun, yet simple work appropriate top. I loved the sleeve detail and did my best to capture it for you. Black and white stripes are always a safe bet, but I’ve been going with thinner stripes lately and I’m loving the bolder pattern here. This would look awesome with denim as well as black dress pants. A great versatile piece for every closet!
This yellow denim really caught my eye. It’s a great color for the fall and they are currently part of a Buy One Get One Free special (the camo pants above are included!). You can also use the coupon I mentioned above to get a discount on top of that! They come in several different denim styles and shades, but yellow was the only color option they had. Its just perfect, if you ask me. I grabbed a size 7 thinking that they would run small because they’re a juniors size, but that was a little large on me. I could easily have worn the 5, so I’d say go with your true size.
This top is technically more of a sleeveless top than a tank, but I thought it was a perfect simple, yet dressier black top. It would look awesome now with white or denim shorts, dressier shorts, or jeans in the fall. You can throw on a cardigan or denim jacket for chillier days and you’re good to go. I’d say you can go with your regular size, but if between sizes you can size down. I’m wearing an XS.
Last up, we have this gorgeous sweater. I loved the knit detail on it and the slight bell sleeve. It was super soft and comfortable! You can almost see my nude bra through it, so it might be something you’d want to pair with a cami underneath if you’re not comfortable with the slightly more open knit. If I were wearing it to school, I’d probably wear it with a black cami tucked into my pants. It’s TTS I’m wearing a small. I don’t see this staying in stock very long. Its so cute!
I love finding things that you guys are loving as well! Let me know what items you loved most from this post! Make sure you’re following my Instagram too, to stay updated!

I know I’ve done this before, but I always love sharing my Amazon finds with you guys! You can see my Amazon Favorites page to check out all of the other products I’m loving. I try to update that as I’m finding new items, so its a great place to check if you’re looking for some great Amazon finds!
I’ll get these out of the way first. I wanted to try out a different pair of leopard mules so I grabbed these Marc Fisher Whiley Mules. Unfortunately, they are currently out of stock. I’m still going to link them, just in case they do come back in stock. I took a poll on my Instagram and Facebook stories, asking which everyone preferred. Instagram actually liked these better and Facebook preferred the Caslon pair from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale.
Here’s the deal. I liked both. I really did. They were both so cute, but very different. I feel like the Marc Fisher were slightly more dressy while the Caslon pair were easier to dress up or down. I’m returning the Marc Fisher for no other reason than the fact that I had a Nordy Note and only had to pay like $9 out of pocket for my Caslon pair. That was my deciding factor, since I liked them both. I’d say they’re TTS, I’m wearing a 9. They might have been slightly big on me, I’m between an 8 and 9 in shoes, depending on the brand and style.
Next, this dress. You guys, this dress is perfection. Its by Amazon’s brand, Daily Ritual and I’m 100% serious that you need this dress in your life. It looks dressy enough that you can dress it up, but its literally as comfortable as a nightgown. Like, I never want to take it off. Its a thick material, but not so thick that you’ll melt down while wearing it. I threw it on with these shoes and it looked perfect. Just needed some accessories and I’d have been done. It runs TTS, I’m wearing a small. (It’s a true midi length dress. I’m 5’4″ for reference.) It also comes in several different color options. The black and white striped version looks adorable as well!
I actually went ahead and paired it with this Denim Boyfriend Jacket, also by Daily Ritual. If you’re in need of a good denim jacket I highly recommend this one. I’m not keeping it, simply because I have one that I like from Old Navy. But this one is good. I’m wearing a small and its huge. So I highly recommend sizing down. Yes It is a boyfriend fit jacket, so I know it’s meant to be oversized, but even with that in mind, I would have preferred an XS. This is seriously such a good option for an affordable denim jacket.
Then, the next day, as I was working on this it donned on me that I could dress it down a bit by tying the jacket around my waist and throwing on my Chucks. So, so, so versatile!
My goal with this Amazon Prime Wardrobe box was to try out as many items that are exclusive to Amazon as I could. So far I’ve absolutely loved everything I’ve tried by Daily Ritual and was pumped to try more. I could not resist these Levi’s though. They are a brand new pair that was customized by Chanel Iman Shepard. I knew when I added them to my box that I wasn’t going to buy them, because $100 jeans just aren’t in the budget right now. But, as always, Levi’s does not disappoint! The grey color is perfect, they have just a slight distressing on the knee, and they had just the right amount of stretch and structure! I just loved them. The only problem was, they were about 3 feet too long. Obviously I’m exaggerating, but they’re folded twice in this picture. (#shortpeopleproblems). I really do love them and if they’re in your budget, I highly recommend them. They’re TTS I’m wearing a 27.
I paired them with this sweatshirt that literally feels like you’re wearing a cloud. If I knew what that felt like… It would be the perfect sweatshirt to cuddle up in on the couch on a cool fall day. It also looks nice enough that it can be worn with dress pants! It’s TTS, I’m wearing a small.
Sticking to my original plan I tried a pair of black raw hem denim by the brand Find, by Amazon. These jeans were super comfortable. They were a mid/high rise and had a raw hem. They had a really good amount of stretch and were just really great! They were under $40, so if you’re looking for a good pair of black denim for a decent price, these are perfect! They’re TTS I’m wearing a 4.
I don’t know about you but I’m forever trying to find a new favorite basic tee. This set was a good option for the price, but they ran VERY small. I knew this based on the reviews so I went with the medium. They fit but I probably would have preferred a large. They’re comfortable and a great staple. Also, super affordable, they come in a pack of three with many different options for colors. But definitely size up at least one, maybe two sizes.
I switched to the black shirt and threw on these leggings and cardigan. The leggings aren’t actually from my prime wardrobe box, but they are from Amazon. They’re the 90 Degree by Reflex leggings that we all know and love (If you don’t.. get a pair. You can thank me later – Great Zella Dupes) They’re meant to be a faux leather legging dupe, but really they just look like shiny snakeskin pattern up close. I haven’t decided whether to keep or return them yet. The fact that I’m waffling over it here on the blog is pretty much me answering my own question. Honestly I really like the leggings, they’re just not the exact look I was going for. I still recommend them!
This cardigan, you guys… Its so soft. Its the same material as that sweatshirt above. They’re like a cotton/modal blend and I’m telling you they’re so comfortable! I highly recommend sizing down if you’re between sizes. I’m wearing a small and its definitely big on me.
I’m adding this sweatshirt because it came this afternoon and I’m obsessed with it! It’s not from prime wardrobe, or eligible for it, but it’s good! It comes in all kinds of camo and leopard which are the only two patterns you need! Lol! I’m wearing the camel leopard option in a size medium, so size up!
I absolutely love that Amazon is offering this feature! If you haven’t tried it you absolutely should! It’s such a great concept! And you definitely need some Daily Ritual items in your closet!
What was your favorite item? What would you like to see more of? Let me know in the comments! ❤️
I’m rushing to get this done for you guys because Old Navy is having a 50% off sale! Today only! So many great items! Some really great summer pieces and a ton of new fall items!
*This post may contain affiliate links*
First, the more summery options!
This romper grabbed my attention and I couldn’t stop staring at it! My store only had a few on the rack and luckily they had my size! This would also look great with a denim jacket over it! It runs TTS, I’m wearing a small!
I saw this bag and loved the color for fall. I’m all about the crossbody life with two little ones that I’m constantly chasing around! Its a decent size, but not too big! I love it!
My sandals are actually from American Eagle, but Old Navy has a nearly identical pair here. If you want my exact pair, you can find them here.
Normally I get so angry when people leave things in the fitting room, but thankfully someone did. I didn’t see this dress in the store, but it was in my fitting room, in my size. So thank you to the person who didn’t do what they were supposed to do. I actually love it so much! It fit me perfectly! The length is a perfect midi dress length! I’d pair with a cute pair of wedges. Would be great for a summer wedding or whatever you feel like wearing it to. It would also look so great with a white denim jacket! Its TTS, I’m wearing a small.
I loved this top for a transition piece into fall. The burnt orange color and the wide sleeves were perfect. Of course anything with stripes will catch my eye from a mile away! Very cute, comfy and TTS, I’m wearing a small!
If you’re wondering why these jeans look familiar, it’s because I already own them. I just snagged them from the clearance rack on my way to the fitting room. I’m actually wearing a size 2 here and I have the size 4 at home. I honestly of the two prefer the size 2. So these are definitely something to size down in. They really are a great pair of everyday denim! I said it the last time I shared them with you, please do not judge these jeans by the model online. They look terrible in the stock photo!
I kept on the same denim as above and threw on a sweater, because I love fall and secretly wish it wasn’t summer anymore. I feel like a week ago I said I wasn’t ready for fall and then I sat outside in the heat for like 2 hours and I thought I was going to die. So, fall, if you hear me… I’m ready for ya!
This is a great basic sweater. I sized up to a medium because I wanted a more oversized fit. I could absolutely have gotten away with a small! So it’s definitely TTS, but size up if you like a looser fit.
I absolutely love this hoodie for summer! I would have paired it with shorts, but I just had entirely too many things in my hands when I was heading to the fitting room! It is so comfortable! I just kept the same denim on and it paired very well with that also.
This swing dress was another fitting room find. Thanks person who left it with the other dress. I mean, its got stripes, its my size, of course I’m going to try it on. This is such a comfortable dress! and you could par it with just about anything and it would work! This would also work for a bump, if you’re expecting!
Another adorable dress option! This is the perfect color for now and into fall! Another bonus?! It’s nursing friendly for all my mommas out there who are breastfeeding! It’s TTS, I’m wearing a small!
This cardigan is perfect for right now and into early fall! The color is clearly a favorite of mine and the fit is perfection. It’s TTS, I’m wearing a small
The tank is a great basic layering tank! It comes in quite a few color options. I’m wearing a medium. I recommend sizing up.
These jeans. You guys, these might be the best thing I tried on! They’re the perfect length, an amazing dark wash and raw hem at the ankle. I absolutely loved them! They’re TTS I’m wearing a 4.
Here I swapped out the thinner cardigan for a cozier option. Everything else is the same as above! This a perfect option for fall and winter. It’s super cozy but not too warm! It’s TTS, I’m wearing a small!
I paired the same tank with this super comfy and soft pink button up. I actually have this in green and love it! It’s a super versatile piece! You can wear it open with a tank, buttoned and tucked into white denim, over a dress… so many options! TTS, I’m wearing a small
I put them with an amazing pair of black jeans. These are THE black jeans you need if you’re looking for a good pair! They’re TTS, I’m wearing a 4.
I swapped my non-distressed black denim for another awesome pair with some distressing! These are just as good as the solid pair! TTS I’m wearing a 4.
Shirt | Tank | Denim | Bag (When I’m not rushing the next time, I’ll remember to take the sticker off of the leg 🤦🏼♀️)
Last option is the same black pair of denim with this gorgeous top! This is a perfect outfit for the office! You could also pair this top with white denim or shorts! Another very versatile piece! It’s TTS I’m wearing a small!
So, let’s just get this out of the way… if you don’t like camo or leopard, we can’t be friends. I’m kidding. Only a little bit. But seriously, you’re going to see a lot of those so, consider yourself warned.

With all the frenzy around the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, and the fact that many of you aren’t shopping it, I decided hit up a place that I can access easily! Not that I’ve ever in my life been disappointed by Target, we’ve been in a relationship for a very long time, but Target is killing it lately! (Their only flaw is the fitting room situation. I don’t know where you guys are finding Targets with such fancy fitting rooms, but I’m jealous!) I pretty much want to buy the entire store! They have so many great things that you can wear dressed up or dressed down!
I told you, camo is everywhere and I’m here for it! This camo sweatshirt is perfection. It’s just the right amount of oversized without being too big. It would work with leggings, white denim, jeans, or shorts, as I’m wearing it below. I’m wearing a small and it’s designed to be slightly oversized. I could have easily worn the XS if I wanted it to be a little bit more fitted.
These shorts are so comfortable! I’m pretty sure I’ve mentioned them before. They didn’t have my normal size 4 so I felt brave and grabbed the 2. Much to my surprise they fit and were really comfy. So I would say they run slightly large. Your normal size would probably work but you may be able to size down one.
First let’s talk about this cardigan! I absolutely loved the color, the fit, everything. It was perfect. The only problem with it is that I cannot find it online! Ugh! I’m so upset! But I will keep looking for it and update when it is available! Definitely check your local target to see if they have it in stock! I’m assuming its a new fall item and should be showing up online soon! Its perfectly TTS, I’m wearing a small!
This tank is awesome! Its so comfortable and bonus, the buttons are functional, so it’s nursing friendly for my breastfeeding mamas! I’m actually wearing a medium here, but need a small, my bra kept peeking out the top of the shirt. Its a really nice material, super soft and thick, but not so thick that you can’t wear it in the summer. It would probably also look super cute knotted at the bottom. Definitely get your true size.
These jeans are the Denizen by Levi’s brand and they’re super comfy! They have a light amount of distressing and a cute slit at the ankle. I’m wearing a 4/5 and I definitely think I could have sized down. They weren’t super loose, but they weren’t as fitted as I’d like them.
Here, I’m wearing that same tank, and paired it with my absolute favorite pants from Target. I’ve been eyeing them for months waiting for them to go on sale (simply because I don’t need them). They’re still really affordable! The length is absolutely perfect for me. I’m 5’4″ for reference. They’re so comfortable and have a perfect fit! They’re TTS, I’m wearing a 4.
Same tank, paired with the shorts from above, and this gorgeous cardigan. Its definitely one of my favorite items I tried on! For sure a fall staple item, and a much cuter (in my opinion) and more affordable opinion than all of the cardigans people are freaking out about in the NSALE. It’s light enough to wear now on a cooler day and will work great as it continues to cool off! It’s TTS, I’m wearing a small.
How cute is this little crossbody bag?! Its the perfect taupe color and a great size. Not too big, not too small. Just perfect! As a mom, I love a good tote bag, because I can throw anything in it and go, but I also really like a crossbody bag for when we are out and about with the kids and I’m chasing them around.
I paired this gorgeous leopard top with the denim I had on, but this top would pair so well with black denim or dress pants for the office. It is a sheer material, but I’m wearing A nude bra and you can’t really see it. If it’s too sheer for you, a nude cami like this one would be a great option. It’s TTS, I’m wearing a small.
More leopard. Don’t say I didn’t warn you. This top is so pretty and also nursing friendly! It has a solid white back and is the perfect length. It’s a faux wrap top with a little clasp that makes it easy to wear if you’re breastfeeding! So pretty and would work great with dress pants for the office. It’s TTS I’m wearing a small.
I was showing my husband the pictures and he told me this top was his favorite. It has a really great fit, and actually comes in another color that I think I’d prefer over this because it’s a more muted stripe pattern. This one is really more of a rusty orange color, but for some reason it was pulling so much more red when I took the picture. It has a really different cut. The back is longer and the front has a rounded bottom. It’s perfect for higher waisted pants! The v-neck isn’t too low cut and you could easily throw a cardigan over it for work! It’s TTS I’m wearing a small.
Okay I am not even exaggerating, the same day I tried this on, I saw 4, yes FOUR, people post it on Instagram. I left target and was browsing Instagram and it just kept showing up. If you decide to buy anything from this haul, GET THIS DRESS! It’s so cute and amazingly comfortable! It’s not too short and the babydoll fit is flattering for anyone! It’s a nice bonus that this cute bag goes so well with it too! I’m actually wearing an XS and it works fine for me. If you’re taller you may want to go with your normal size.
I decided to dress it down a bit by throwing a chambray top over it. If you don’t own a chambray shirt, you need one. They’re so versatile! You can wear them with everything! This one is also TTS, I’m wearing a small!
