Hi friends, happy Monday and welcome back to my blog! What a fun weekend I had getting to spend 24 hours with my girlfriends at Jamie’s ranch. We talked and laughed, got in the pool, drank spicy margaritas and ate the best fajitas! We watched a movie under the stars and Tarah took us on a frightening exciting gator ride through the woods.
It was a short visit, but I’ll take what I can get at this point! It had been so many months since I’d seen these girls!
I know a lot of you are looking forward to the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale which starts tomorrow for Icon card holders, but I polled y’all on Stories and more of you were excited for my next Amazon post! The vote was 66% Amazon, 34% Nordstrom.
If you’ve missed any of my recent Amazon posts, you can catch them all here.
I’m happy to deliver today and I’m always surprised to keep finding such great things on Amazon. It’s like the goodness never ends!
AMAZON TOP SELLERS
Before we get to today’s try-on, I always like to see what y’all are loving. Here’s your top sellers from last week.
Tie Dye Tank • V-Neck Tees • Jumpsuit • Jean Shorts • Stretchy Bracelets
AMAZON FASHION FAVES
For Size Reference: I’m a shorty (5’1) and petite, weighing about 110. 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.
Jewelry Worn: Strong AF Bracelet • Bauble Bar Bracelets • Name Bracelets • Cross Bracelet • Mama Bracelet • Wrap Bracelet • Stretchy Bracelets
Sweater Tank • Jean Shorts • Sandals
Tank Fit: I’m wearing a Small
Shorts Fit: I’m wearing a 0
We’re starting with the jean shorts that made your top sellers last week! I’ve had these for a couple of years now and they are still going strong! They are the perfect combination of casual relaxed style and so comfortable that I tend to reach for them over and over!
I always love a sweater tank in the summer and although this one is slightly on the sheer side, it’s super cute! There’s a little front pocket but you have to see the back! It has darling buttons!
Waffle Knit Tank • Denim Shorts • Studded Sandals
Tank Fit: I’m wearing an XS
Shorts Fit: I’m wearing a 0
You’ve probably seen this waffle knit top before, but I had to include it here because this is one of my most worn outfits of the summer!
I love the casual fit and subtle texture of the waffle knit. Plus, you can wear a regular bra with it and it comes in several colors.
Waffle Knit Tank • Denim Shorts
White Lace Tank • Daily Ritual Jeans • Sandals
Tank Fit: I’m wearing a Small, prefer XS
Jeans Fit: I’m wearing a 25 (0)
Moving onto a sassier style tank, this one is lovely with the lace trim. You don’t have to worry about it being sheer because it’s fully lined.
White Lace Tank • Daily Ritual Jeans
Cardigan • White Lace Tank • Daily Ritual Jeans • Mules
Cardigan Fit: I’m wearing an XS
Tank Fit: I’m wearing a Small
Jeans Fit: I’m wearing a 25 (0)
You can obviously wear the tank alone with jeans for a night out or Jean shorts for a casual look, but I love layering a cardigan over it also.
This cardigan is particularly soft and stretchy with a shawl collar and pockets. It’s one of those things you want to wear around the house all the time!
White Lace Tank • Paperbag Waist Pants • Heels
Tank Fit: I’m wearing a Small
Pants Fit: I’m wearing an XS
I also like how the tank looks tucked into the paper bag waist pants.
Those pants are so popular because they are really comfortable With a good bit of stretch and so easy to wear. They just pull on over your hips and come with the coordinating tie belt. They are supposed to be more crop length but I don’t mind them coming all the way to my ankle. I have them in three colors!
White Lace Tank • Paperbag Waist Pants
Lace Sleeve Tee • Daily Ritual Jeans • Circle Belt • Leopard Flats
Top Fit: I’m wearing a Small
Jeans Fit: I’m wearing a 25 (0)
I love looking for tops that have a little bit of extra detail that make them more special. The crochet shoulders on this one got me!
I was pleasantly surprised by the fit and feel of the fabric too, feels like a very soft T-shirt.
Lace Sleeve Tee • Daily Ritual Jeans • Circle Belt
Black Lace Sleeve Tee • Paperbag Waist Pants • Heels
Top Fit: I’m wearing a Small
Pants Fit: I’m wearing an XS
Here are the slate blue paper bag waist pants and I think they look great with the navy top.
The trick with the paper bag waist pants is to wear a slimmer fitting top so that it doesn’t overwhelm the paper bag style waist.
Top • Daily Ritual Jeans • Sandals • Belt
Top Fit: I’m wearing a Small
Jeans Fit: I’m wearing a 0
I was also smitten with this sleeveless blouse with ruffle detail. The print is a floral but from a far it looks almost abstract which I think is really cool.
Top • Paperbag Waist Pants • Clear Heels
I love showing you how to mix and match things in your wardrobe so here it is paired with the pants.
Sweater Tank • Daily Ritual Jeans • Sandals
Tank Fit: I’m wearing a Small
Jeans Fit: I’m wearing a 25 (0)
I found a couple more sweater tanks that I really liked! Of course I’m drawn to neutrals so the next two are perfect for that!
Sweater Tank • Daily Ritual Jeans
Sweater Tank • Jeans • Similar Wedges
Tank Fit: I’m wearing a Small
Jeans Fit: I’m wearing a 25 (0)
This one has the cutest ties at the shoulder!
Smocked Button Sleeveless Top • Jeans • Similar Wedges
Top Fit: I’m wearing a Small, prefer XS
Jeans Fit: I’m wearing a 25 (0)
This is such a good top and it kind of reminds me of the Caslon style at Nordstrom. It has a smoked upper blouse with ruffle sleeve and neck detail, and little buttons on the front. I like how it looked on the website better, but I think that’s just because this one is a little too big for me.
The jeans are by Levi’s and they have a hidden button fly.
Smocked Button Sleeveless Top • Jeans
Peasant Top • Daily Ritual Jeans • Heels
Top Fit: I’m wearing a Small
Jeans Fit: I’m wearing a 25 (0)
I like how easy to wear this top is. It has an elastic waist that blouses over really nicely and 3/4 length leaves. The material feels nice and silky on and it comes in several colors.
Peasant Top • Daily Ritual Jeans
Button V Neck Top • Jeans • Similar Wedges
Top Fit: I’m wearing a Small
Jeans Fit: I’m wearing a 25 (0)
This tee was also kinda cute with the gathered shoulders, but I don’t think it necessarily needs the buttons.
Boho Top • Daily Ritual Jeans • Heels
Top Fit: I’m wearing a Small
Jeans Fit: I’m wearing a 0
For those of you that prefer to wear your tops untucked, I think this one looks great for that (not that you can’t tuck it in)! It’s a tunic style with a nice weight and quality embroidery.
Ruffle Neck Top • Daily Ritual Jeans • Heels
Top Fit: I’m wearing an XS
I was really impressed with the quality and fit on this blouse. It is fully lined and has delicate rushing at the shoulders. You could definitely dress this top up for work with slacks or a skirt.

I thought this tank was going to be too short when I saw it originally, but once I put it on there was enough room for me to tuck it in. It has a ribbed texture with a slight cut in the front, but the shoulders are more substantial than skinny spaghetti straps. I think it’s really cute!
Black V Cut Tank • Daily Ritual Jeans • Circle Belt
DRESSES & JUMPSUITS
Jumpsuit Fit: I’m wearing a 2, prefer 0
This is such a fun jumpsuit with a halter neck and shorts style. The drawstring waist is functional and it has pockets. It feels silky smooth on and you can dress it down with flats or dress it up with a wedge or heel.
Dress Fit: I’m wearing a 0
I’ve been so impressed with the dresses I found from Lark & Ro and here is another one. It’s a faux wrap style without the traditional tie waist.
The way it gathers at the top and side is so lovely, but it is stitched closed so no fear of it coming open. It also feels amazing and lightweight on!
Dress Fit: I’m wearing a Small
This dress surprised me because it looks quite structured, but it feels like you’re wearing a softest T-shirt dress.
I was also surprised but it had pockets because they are located on the front sides and they are almost seamless so there is no added bulk at your hips.
Dress Fit: I’m wearing an XS
Oh wow! Isn’t this dress cute?! It’s a keeper for sure! It’s by Nautica which you may have guessed by the nautical vibe. You just slip it over your head and you are ready to go with a pair of sandals!
If you are extra preppy, tie a sweater around your shoulders!
ACTIVEWEAR
Tank Fit: I’m wearing an XS
Leggings Fit: I’m wearing an XS
GET THESE LEGGINGS! You guys, honestly this is the most comfortable pair of high waisted joggers I have ever tried on! I think what makes them so comfortable is that the high waist part is on the thin side so you don’t feel constricted at all, but they still keep you tucked in. No wonder they have over 6,300 positive reviews!
The seeming is particularly flattering and there are side pockets that you could fit a phone or your keys in.
I’m also crazy for the camo style but they come in other colors as well.
Under Armour Sports Bra • Leggings
Under Armor Bra Fit: I’m wearing a Medium
The sports bra I wear most often for working out is this one by under armor. It’s perfect for low impact sports like cycling, walking, lifting weights, yoga. Basically I wear it for anything besides running!
Under Armour Sports Bra • Kamo Fitness High Waisted Leggings
Kamo Leggings Fit: I’m wearing an XS
I tried another pair of high waist leggings and really like these two! They are also a high waist and I love how the stitching comes down in a V shape at the front. They are seamless on the sides and I think that makes them perfect for also wearing as an outfit this fall.
Under Armour Sports Bra • Core 10 Bike Shorts
Core 10 Shorts Fit: I’m wearing a Small
I also tried to pair of bike shorts in different styles. The first pair is by Core 10, a brand I’ve come to know and love from Amazon for quality activewear. This pair has a 5 inch insane and high waist and are quite comfortable and feel like great quality. I like them so much that I got them in blue and gray and I’m keeping both of them.
Tie Dye Tank • Under Armour Sports Bra • Amazon Essentials Bike Shorts • Nike Shoes
Amazon Essentials Bike Shorts Fit: I’m wearing a Small
The second pair of bike shorts is by Amazon Essentials and they have a shorter inseam and no pockets. They have a stretchy elastic waist band and reflective marks on the front.
Tie Dye Tank • Under Armor Sports Bra • Amazon Essentials Bike Shorts
ACCESSORIES
Here is a close-up of the bracelets y’all have been loving from Amazon. They are a combination of two different pairs and make quite a lively statement on your wrist! They are stretchy and just slide right over your hand onto your wrist.
The sun hat is still growing strong and looks amazing on Ali-Shaun! Wasn’t she a sight for sore eyes?!
I always wear these silk scrunchies for pulling my hair up at the pool or for working out. They keep my hair up without any headache and without pulling the strands. I like the petite size because they’re discreet. These from Amazon look just like the more expensive ones I previously bought at Anthropologie!
Rainbow Sweater Tank • Jean Shorts • Studded Slides • Hat
I wore this outfit on our drive out of town and also put it on the next day! How’s that for casual living?!
I’m really excited to have Ali-Shaun and Tarah (the crazy driver) join me at Nordstrom tomorrow so we can scout the best things from the Anniversary Sale for you! You can check out my TOP PICKS here.
As for Amazon things I use in my own home, you can find more of that here:
Choosing Lamps for the Dining Room
I also ordered this no touch digital thermometer and it’s awesome! It’s safe for adults and children (and where was this when I had babies?! It’s battery operated and you hold it 3cm from your forehead, then press the button and within a second, it vibrates noiselessly and displays the reading in clear numbers that are easy to read! This is so perfect and totally accurate because it has 3 built-in sensors and collects 100 data points in one second!
Looking back at last year’s Nordstrom Anniversary Sale posts and Fall decor post has me looking forward to the change of seasons! Are you ready for Fall too? Our temps are usually the last to get the memo, but being that we’re already in August now, Fall is on the way! Did you know the official date is September 22? I didn’t! Thanks Google! 😉
Now let’s go kick Monday’s booty!
Hi – Do the jeans shorts continue to fray? Have they washed ok? Thank you!
Coffee in hand and patiently waiting for a new post from Honey We’re Home. I always look forward to your posts especially when its a Amazon Favs 🙂 Thank you for weeding through everything. I love Amazon fashion now because of you!
Hi, Happy Monday! NO JUDGMENT here, just curiosity. What made you decide to go for a weekend with your girlfriends? You stayed away from them so long, what changed your mind? I am struggling with seeing my friends and family or not, so I would love to hear your thought process on this subject. Gorgeous girls!
