Hi friend! We made it to Friday! Yay! This was a busy week with two basketball games, and Jordan’s first basketball practice is tonight and her first game is tomorrow. I can’t wait to see those cute kindergarteners on the court! She’s really good at basketball, so I think she’s gonna have a blast!
I’ve also started a new home decor project and can’t wait to share it with you! It’s adding doors to our mudroom to help hide all the things that tend to accumulate there! I’ll save the progress to an Instagram Story highlight if you want to see how it’s coming along.
We’ve had a fun week on the blog, kicking things off with a brand new January Loves Giveaway, the details of my New Year’s Fitness Challenge, and of course, the best sales.
AMAZON FASHION FAVES
Today is our first Amazon haul of the new year and I found some great things to share with you!
My Size Reference: I’m short (5’1) and petite, weighing about 110 lbs and athletic build. I typically wear size 0p/25 jeans, XSP/XS in tops and dresses.
Jewelry: Mama Necklace, Triple Rings, Ring, Beaded Bracelet, Name Bracelet
JEANS OUTFITS
Our Houston weather has turned downright cold and we’re loving reaching for sweaters! This one is super soft with slightly puffed shoulders and pin dot detail throughout. I like that the dots are tiny enough that they don’t require a cami underneath.
Sweater Fit: I’m wearing a Small
Jeans Fit: I’m wearing a 25 Short
This tunic length (on me) sweater is versatile because you can wear it on or off your shoulder, especially if you’ve sized up. I like how the cable knit stitching has sort of a movement effect and the pink I’m wearing is on the coral side.
Sweater Fit: I’m wearing a Small, prefer XS
Jeans Fit: I’m wearing a 25 Short
Who’s ready for Valentine’s Day?! #rasiseshand We don’t make a huge deal out of it, but I’m not above sprinkling some Valentine’s decor around the house, pulling out my pink coffee mugs, and wearing a heart top!
This is one of those thin, distressed sweaters with intentional rips at the bottom for a super casual look. The red hearts really pop against the white background.
Sweater Fit: I’m wearing Small
Jeans Fit: I’m wearing 25 Short
The sweet scallop detail on this pink sweater got me. It has that white contrast scallop detail at the neckline, sleeve and hem. Plus, it has a functional zipper with an o-ring pull. This sweater feels nice and relaxed, but looks dressed up, so it would be a great choice for work or weekend.
Sweater Fit: I’m wearing a Small
Jeans Fit: I’m wearing a 25 Short
I’ve had this distressed heart baseball style tee for a few years and I still think it’s so cute, so I was happy to see it back in stock. It’s got 3/4 length sleeves and comes in more styles.
Top Fit: I’m wearing a Small
Jeans Fit: I’m wearing a 25 Short
For your weekend errands, a tunic sweatshirt is always a good idea. I like the length, side slit and how this one is on the lightweight side.

Here’s a better look at my darling sneakers. I’ve had these for a couple of years now and although I don’t wear them daily, they’ve held up awesome!

I liked this sweatshirt so much that it was in my Tuesday Goodies this week! I also wore it to my son’s basketball game that night. But, we got the time wrong and ended up getting there right when it was ending! #momfail!
The sweatshirt is a simple style with classic lettering and says “HOMEBODY” which I think I am. I like going out sometimes, but I’m very content at home.
Sweatshirt Fit: I’m wearing a Small so I’d recommend sizing up.
Jeans Fit: I’m wearing a 25 Short
This is the sweatshirt you need if you’re looking for extra warmth. It has a cozy soft fleece lining inside that will keep you toasty. Plus, I like the sporty look with the cross stitching at the neck.
Top Fit: I’m wearing an XS
Jeans Fit: I’m wearing a 25 Short
I liked this cardigan a lot too! It’s lightweight and simple, yet there’s some added visual interest with the ribbed texture and functional snaps. It looks great both buttoned or worn open.
Cardigan Fit: size up, I’m wearing a Small in the color Camel
Jeans Fit: I’m wearing a 25 Short
Tee • Cardigan • Jeans • Heels
I was also crazy for this cardigan! It’s by Amazon Essentials and so you know the quality is there. This “pink” color is also so lovely in person and another one that works for Valentine’s Day and beyond. It definitely dresses up a tee, so you could make it a work staple.

This cardigan is similar in weight, but a long length and without buttons. It does have double front pockets though. I like it in the solid colors too.

What a fun quilted shirt jacket! It wasn’t as soft as I was expecting, but the style is great. I like how easily it dresses up a tee and is still functional as a jacket. The quilted style is different than I’ve seen before and it comes in several colors.

Jacket Fit: I’m wearing a Small, prefer XS

You might have heard me rave about Cable Stitch before and this is one of their sweaters. I’m a fan of everything I’ve ordered from that line and it looks/feels like a department store brand.
Sweater Fit: I’m wearing a Small, prefer XS
I like how the black jeans pick up the black in the sweater. I highly recommend these jeans – they are incredibly comfortable and I reach for them all the time, knowing I won’t be bothered by how they fit and feel.
Jeans Fit: I’m wearing a 25 Short
As soon as I put this sweater on, I thought my mom would love it because she’s crazy for all the cozy things and this has that soft, wubby knit texture. It comes in more colorblock colors and also solids.

Jeans Fit: I’m wearing a 25 Short
WORKWEAR
I’ve had several requests for more workwear options and I found several outfits for you, all appropriate for the office.
The goodness with this top is that while it’s a t-shirt material, it’s shaped on the dressy side with a crewneck, puffed shoulders and smocked sleeves.
Top Fit: I’m wearing a Small
This paperbag waist pants are a workwear staple and honestly feel like you’re wearing professional-looking pajamas!
Pants Fit: I’m wearing an XS
Another top with cute smocking is this short sleeve gingham style. It’s also conservative with a high neckline, but a little playful with the puffed sleeves.
Top Fit: I’m wearing an XS
Pants Fit: I’m wearing an XS
The green on this top with petite white florals is really pretty in person. It’s a traditional workwear style that goes easily with both pants and skirts. I also liked the black with white dots and the orange floral.
Top Fit: I’m wearing an XS
Pants Fit: I’m wearing an XS
I changed into high waist crop pants for this outfit and let me tell you, these are also a MUST HAVE! The fabric is a thick, stretchy knit that fits comfortably all day and really flatters. The style is nice and streamlined, fitting snug at the waist, then flowing wide away from your body in a flirty crop length. For us shorties, I prefer to wear these pants with heels or wedges.
Top Fit: I’m wearing an XS in coral pink
The top is actually a tee, that looks dressy because of the puff sleeve style. Those larger shoulders help give the illusion of a smaller waist, especially when you tuck your top in.
Pants Fit: I’m wearing an XS
This blouse is a tunic length, 6- button front with sleeves you can keep buttoned or roll up. It’s that casual professional look that we feel very comfortable in – looking appropriate for work, but also can be worn casually with jeans.

Here’s another way to style that tunic with leggings and a vest.

I like this tee so much that I have it in another color too- sooo soft! It’s a great longer length with a boatneck and a feminine shape (not too boxy) and a curved, shirttail hem. It comes in several colors and my brunette friends would look great in the yellow!
Tee Fit: I’m wearing an XS in the Dusty Pink/White Marl Color
Leggings Fit: I’m wearing an XS
Tunic Tee • Leggings • Crossbody • Similar Strap
This top was a happy find! It’s by The Gym People, a pullover with a loose cowl neck, pockets and thumbholes. I really liked the silky feel of the fabric- it’s breathable, stretchy and quick drying.
Top Fit: I’m wearing an XS
Leggings Fit: I’m wearing an XS
I was also looking back at some of my favorite winter outfits from Amazon and wanted to share them here since it’s all in stock!
Stripe Tee • Jeans • Booties • Belt
I still wear this outfit, just changing out the shoes depending on what I’m doing. The jeans are so good! They’re made with lots of stretch and yet hold their shape comfortably all day. They have a comfortable high waist and no gaping in the back. I love that they come in regular, long and short lengths.

Several of you asked for a good turtleneck recommendation and I found one for you. The great thing about this one is that it’s nice and thick, totally opaque, with a good bit of stretch. Here, I’m wearing it with our favorite bootcut jeans, but I showed you a few more ways to wear it below.
Turtleneck Fit: I’m wearing a size Small, prefer XS
Sweater • White Jeans • Booties | Jeans • Crossbody
I’m crazy for this tan and white color block a BEAUTY. It’s nice and thick and has a kind of ‘bouncy’ quality to it.
As you can see, it looks great with white jeans for more of a monochromatic look, but equally as good with blue jeans.
Sweater Fit: I’m wearing a Small
Yep! I’m definitely a fan of white jeans after Labor Day, you can see that wearing them with a tan booty and coordinating sweater looks great and fresh for Fall.
White Jeans Fit: I’m wearing a 26
The blue jeans with a hint of distressing are also by Levi’s at Amazon, called the “Wedgie” Terrible name, but super cute jeans!

Y’all may have seen this pullover in yesterdays cozy post. It’s literally one of the softest things I’ve put on my body in a long time. It’s fuzzy snuggle quality with a quarter front zipper, sweatshirt cuff, a drawstring hoodie and pockets. It comes in lots of colors, but isn’t the pink pretty?!
Style Tip: Wearing a v-neck tee underneath that peeks out gives your outfit layered visual interest.
Pullover Fit: Oversized fit, I’m wearing a Small

This lounge outfit was also on repeat this year! So cute with the stars!
