Amazon Hits Misses and Oh Hell Nos

Hello friends!  TGIF and we’re feeling so thankful that the heaviest rains here have died down.  Yesterday in Houston we had some scary storms and tons of rain which led to all kinds of flooding and traffic problems.  Our kids were safe at school, but it was very difficult to get to them.  I’m still praying of those that have damage and are still dealing with this tragic weather.

If you’re catching up on my blog, I recently I shared a roundup of what I’ve been wearing lately with links to everything, casual transitional Fall outfits, the best sales, and the Christmas gift I’m buying for all the ladies this year! #shhhdonttell

Today’s post is a brand new Amazon Hits, Misses and Oh Hell Nos.  I’m thrilled you’re excited about this new way of sharing my Amazon posts.

AMAZON FASHION FAVES

For Size Reference: I’m a shorty (5’1) and petite, weighing about 110 and wear a 34D bra.  I typically wear size 0p/25 jeans, XS or XSP in tops and dresses.  Lots of times the smallest size on Amazon is a Small, so in that case, that’s what I ordered.

AMAZON HITS, MISSES & OH HELL NOS

Amazon fashion haul, sweater and jeans

Rust SweaterBoyfriend JeansMules

Bring on Fall, right?!  Isn’t this rust colored sweater so perfect for crisp days at the pumpkin patch?! I girl can dream!  It’s an oversized fit and perfect slouchy goodness in 18 colors.  It’s cable knit with a braid detail at the sleeves and sides.

Sweater Fit: One Size

I also liked the light blue boyfriend jeans.  They’re a skinny style, so not overly baggy, but extremely comfortable.  They have lots of stretch – 99% cotton and 1% spandex.  I could easily wear these day after day and be a happy camper.

Jeans Fit: I’m wearing a size 0

I thought this cardigan was going to be really thick and warm, but it’s actually more lightweight.  If you look closely, you’ll see that the little crochet balls on the sleeve are in a heart shape pattern! ♥

Cardigan Fit: Im wearing a size 4/6

Amazon fashion haul, twist top and jeans

Twist Front TopJeansFlats

Oh man, I wanted to love this top!  It’s nice and soft and silky feeling, but I felt like it was way too long and the criss-cross at the bottom kind of sagged on me.  If you’re taller, it might work for you!

Top Fit: I’m wearing size S

The stripes on this lightweight sweatshirt and nice and bold and it’s great for that in-between weather.

Sweater Fit: I’m wearing size M

Striped Top • Verdict : HIT!

Amazon fashion haul, color block top and jeans

Leopard Color Block Tee JeggingsFlats

This top came in several colorways, but I like this rust orange, black and leopard.  It’s a fun take on a regular tee with that added pop of animal print and stripe combo.

Tee Fit: I’m wearing size XS

These jeans are jeggings and better than I expected.  I was just curious to try them out because I don’t have any jeggings.  It’s kind of weird wearing them if you’re not used to it because they have stitching that looks like a zipper and pockets, but they aren’t really there.  They pull on with a tummy shaping waistband.  The only downside is that a front tuck doesn’t look as good in a jegging as it does a regular jean.

Jeggings Fit: I’m wearing size 2 short

The cut and shape of this blouse is really cute, along with the crochet detail at the sleeves.  I also thought the deep v-neck detail is very flattering.  Unfortunately, I didn’t care for the fabric.

White CamiSleeveless CardiganJeansFlats

Right about now we start wanting to layer and a thin knit sleeveless cardigan like this one is a great way to do it!  It comes in several colors and would also be super cute with a tee or long sleeve tee layered underneath.

Amazon fashion haul, camo top and shorts

Camo TeeBoyfriend Jean Shorts

Cliff notes version: tee- good; shorts-bad!  Well, bad on me because they ran waaayyy too big!  I’m wearing my normal size and felt like they were going to fall right off.  I have a feeling even if I sized down they wouldn’t look good.  Boo!  And I’m all for a distressed jean, but I would cut all of those strings if I was going to keep them.

Shorts Fit: I’m wearing size 25

Boyfriend Jean Shorts • Verdict : OH HELL NO!

Amazon fashion haul, camo top and shorts

Amazon’s house brand Daily Ritual has great basics and I like the cut of this tee and the bleached camo color.

Top Fit: I’m wearing size XS

Camo Tee • Verdict : HIT!

Amazon fashion haul, striped top and chino pants

Striped TeeChinosFlats

Amazon Essentials is another brand I’ve had luck with for staple wardrobe pieces.  These tees come in a set of two for only $18.  They are awesome for layering or wearing alone and are long and stretchy.  You’ll want to stock up on them in every color!

Top Fit: I’m wearing size XS

Striped Tee • Verdict : HIT!

The chinos are a happy surprise! When you’re tired of jeans, or want a casual pant to run errands or go to work in, a dark pair of chinos are perfect.  They’re comfortable and can be worn rolled up or down.  The longer length looks more polished, and a rolled cuff will give you a more relaxed look.

Chinos Fit: I’m wearing size 2, and need a 0

Chinos • Verdict : HIT!

Amazon fashion haul, gingham top and jeans

Gingham Top

I’m crazy for this gingham button down! It’s a great quality that you’d think comes from a department store and comes in lots of colors and patterns.  You’ll get lots of mileage out of a gingham button down- they look great under a sweater, with an A-line skirt or with a blazer for a smart look.

Gingham Top • Verdict : HIT!

Amazon fashion haul, military jacket and jeans

Striped Crewneck ShirtJeansMilitary JacketSnakeskin Boots

I liked how this military jacket was in between a button down and a jacket.  It’s like no other military jacket in my closet with the elbow length, roll-tab sleeves, and buttons to the chest.  It would be darling with a skirt and also appropriate in the warmer months.

Jacket Fit: I’m wearing size XS

This is the second top that came in my set when I ordered the stripe one.  The camo is especially good for Fall don’t ya think?!

Top Fit: I’m wearing a size XS

These mid-rise jeans fit like a glove and are super comfortable and stretchy. I’ve actually had them for awhile, but they were buried in the back of my closet.  When I put them on, I felt like I looked longer and leaner with the dark wash and skinny style.  

I cannot wait to wear these all fall and winter long!  You can get them in a variety of different washes. 

Jeans Fit: I’m wearing a size 25R (I could have ordered the short, but I do like the rolled up look)

Oh, hopefully this is a sweater I can wear soon!  I adore it! It’s a really nice quality, perfect size v-neck and I like the waffle knit texture and soft pale pink color.

Suede Pocket V NeckDaily Ritual LeggingsFlats

I had this colorblock top in the short sleeve version in navy last year and now I’m looking forward to wearing the long sleeve version in red this year.  The front suede pocket is so cute!

Top Fit: I’m wearing size S 

These leggings feel like a second skin, easily move with your body, a wide waistband panel that keep you in but doesn’t constrict. They’re high waist hit me just underneath my navel.

Bring on the weekend errands! This top is super soft and comfy, perfect v-neck and drop shoulders. Slightly longer in the back and totally covers your bum.

Amazon fashion haul, checkered tote and wallet

Checkered Wallet

Now that I’m running around daily with my Checkered Tote, I wanted to try out the wallet! I like it!  It’s very streamlined with a zip closure, inside slip pockets for cards, and an inner zip pocket for change.  It also feels like it’s well made.

Long Sleeve Pocket TeeDaily Ritual LeggingsWedge SneakersWaist Bag

This top is a long sleeve thin tee, slightly thicker material than a t-shirt but not as heavy as a sweatshirt, with pockets and so many colors to choose from!

Top Fit: I’m wearing a size XS

Love this waist bag! It lets you run around hands-free with plenty of room for your cell phone and other essentials. The snakeskin pattern is really cute and you can zipper it open from the front or the back.

Note: I would probably need to trim the extra length off of the belt part and possibly add one more hole to it.

Amazon fashion haul, white cami and jeans

White Cami Jeans

I had to do a double take when this cami arrived.  It doesn’t look like the picture online at all.  On mine, there’s a weird seaming at the chest that looks so odd and is very unflattering.  You can see it better in the close up pic below.

But this cami is much better!

And how cute is this crossbody bag with the gold link chain?!  You can wear it crossbody like above, or remove the chain and carry it like a clutch OR use it in your bag as an extra pouch.  I dig it!

Checkered Crossbody • Verdict : HIT!

JUMPSUIT

Amazon fashion haul, black jumpsuit

One Shoulder JumpsuitBlack Heels

Oh man, I wanted this one to work so bad.  But, it just didn’t.  It was too tight up top and too wide on the sides, not to mention the length.  But isn’t the style darling?  It’s got pockets and the top is satiny smooth and the bottom is a classic pant.  Such a bummer!

Jumpsuit Fit: I’m wearing size XXS

DRESS

Amazon fashion haul, red lace dress

Red Lace DressHeels

This dress is sooo good!  It fits like a dream and the crochet detail is exquisite!  If you love showing off your shoulders, wear your hair up because this halter style will definitely accentuate those beauties.  I chose the red with holidays already on my mind, but there are several colors to choose from.

Dress Fit: I’m wearing size XS

ATHLETIC WEAR

Amazon fashion haul, animal print leggings and sports bra

Animal Print LeggingsSports Bra

For your workouts, I’m crazy for this high waist pair of leggings and the fun pattern!  They feel amazing on – made of a medium weight ‘studio stretch’ performance fabric that’s extra soft.  There’s a hidden back pocket too- great for holding a small phone or key while you run.

Leggings Fit: I’m wearing size XS 

Animal Print Leggings • Verdict : HIT!

I’m always reaching for my Under Armour sports bras for my regular workouts.  They are supportive, comfortable and keep the girls in place.  I wear a size Medium.

Sports Bra • Verdict : HIT!

This might be my favorite workout top I’ve found on Amazon!  Everything about it is perfect – the cut, color, fabric and how it feels on!  I’ll definitely be buying more of these!

  1. Love the military jacket! I’m not on board with all the rust this fall – yet. I’ll have to try incorporating a piece or two. Thanks for all the ideas.

  2. Wow. Today’s post filled up my Amazon cart pretty quickly! I’ve come to realize that I’ve agreed with you on every Amazon clothing purchase I’ve made. It’s taken a lot of the guess work out of shopping. I literally see your pic, swipe up and buy it. This can’t be easy. Thank you for trying on all this stuff for us!

  3. I loved this post! So helpful.
    I also wanted to ask you for some advice. I’m wanting to update my closet because to be honest, I haven’t really changed my style in years. I own 5 pairs of shoes. I know, I know. One is a toms booties in a taupe, a white converse, havaiana , a light brown wedge from Steve Madden and a plain gray flat boot (ugg style). I wanted to get some nicer shoes, specially for date night and church, but don’t want to spend a crazy amount. What are 3 pairs of shoes you’d say are must haves? As a mom of 4, I need something that I can switch up. I think your style is amazing. You always look so cute and not over the top. Thank you so much!!

  4. Hi!
    I love all your posts! I’m not a shopper but I love cute clothes, so this blog has been a life saver for me ?.
    Quick question- do you recommend any type of camisoles to go underneath shirts? I feel like mine are too long or bulky and can ruin my whole outfit!
    Thanks!

  5. Thanks so much for these recommendations and for the time you invested. I ordered the chinos and they fit perfectly! Cute casual pant. I’d never have taken a second look at them (and probably wouldn’t have even found them!) without your guidance!

  6. Thanks so much for your posts! Question for you… I LOVE the gingham button down, however I’m busty and have such a problem with fit. Usually if a button down fits me nicely overall, there will be a gap between the buttons at the bust. I usually go for a larger size, but then it’s a different, sometimes sloppy look. Any advice?

    1. Oh I know what you mean. I’m busty too and this gingham top fit great everywhere without being too big. I can only think you might have to size up and then get it altered. There used to be a button down shirt brand that you could order according to your bra size, but I’m blanking on their name and not sure if they’re still around. Maybe try googling and see if you can find it!

  7. Thank you so much for your amazon posts! I’ve been able to add some great pieces to my closet thanks to you! I have a question about the suede color block V neck. Have you washed it yet? Did the red bleed?
