Amazon Finds: August 2020

Happy end of summer! Well, at least when both my kiddos are back in school it feels like it’s the end even though this weekend will be in the 100s again in DFW, doh. As more and more of you have been thinking about back to school I start getting in the cozy fall mood. So this month I have a mix match of fall, summer and random finds for ya!

If you are looking for a ton of great outfits check back on the Amazon page for all my previous blog posts with items from Amazon or check out my Amazon storefront where I post outfit pics. 

Sizing info: I am 5’5 and size 12/ L bottom and 36DD/ M/ 10 top. “tts” means true to size based on the given sizing chart, in Amazon I tend to size up if in-between.

DRESSES

Daily Ritual T-Shirt Dress in brick | Green Cardigan | Vince Camuto Gradina Booties | Tory Burch Sneakers | BLANKNYC Vital Signs Moto Jacket | Kendra Scott Sydney Drop Earrings

Fit Tips: Dress tts, L // Sweater size down if in-between, M // Bootie size up 1/2 // Tory Burch sneakers tts // Moto jacket tts, M

I’m loving how versatile this Daily Ritual dress is! The thicker jersey material and big front pockets makes it an easy one to dress up or down. I’m in the brick color but one of my friends has the lighter pink and it’s also adorable!

Lark and Ro Ruched Flutter Sleeve Dress // August 2020 // business casual // business professional

Lark & Ro Split Neck Ruched Flutter Sleeve Dress (size down if in-between, 12)

This dress is perfect for work! It has such a cute ruffle sleeve and neckline and since it’s lined it not too clingy but really flows well. At the was it is just a removable tie so if you want to but in your own belt you easily can.

Fall 2020 swing dress in burnt orange

Daily Ritual Women’s Denim Jacket | Daily Ritual Modal Short-Sleeve Scoop Neck Dress | Lainee Heeled Boots

Jacket size up, L // Dress tts, L // Boots tts

This swing dress was such. surprise because it’s a bit thicker than the other styles I have from Amazon and it’s a bit longer so great for some of my taller girls. Its cute with boots or flats making it a great casual work dress as well.

Lark and Ro zebra wrap dress // Fall 2020 // business professional // business casual

Lark & Ro Jersey Collared V-Neck Wrap Dress

Fit Tips: size up for larger chest, in a M and needed a L for the chest coverage

This wrap dress has my name all over it! First I LOVE a great wrap dress because I feel like it accentuates my curves well and this one has good chest coverage and length. With the 3/4 sleeve and collar it can be worn in warmer weather and into fall easily. Plus for the price it can’t be beat, one to get in several colors!


CARDIGANS/ SWEATERS

Goodthreads Cotton Shaker Stitch Mock Neck | KUT from the Kloth Donna Button Fly | Vince Camuto Gradina Booties

Fit tips: tts, L // jeans tts, 12P // Booties size up 1/2

This sweater I was a little hesitant at first because I’m not always a fan of a mock neck but this one is soo cute on! The neck does not go too high and with the shorter more boxy body it’s a great option for a front tuck with button fly jeans.

These jeans are KUT from the Kloth from the Anniversary sale but Amazon also carries a good variety of their jeans here.

Daily Ritual Leopard Jacquard Cardigan | Caslon Rounded Neck Tee| Yoga Crops | Similar Ugg Slippers

Fit Tips: Cardigan tts, L // Tee size down if in-between, M // Yoga Crop tts, L

Now I know that many of you tried to get your hands on the leopard print Barefoot Dreams cardigan but honestly I love this one more! It’s not as thick as the barefoot dreams but still has a good length and weight to it. With the pockets and buttons it’s super cute with leggings, jeans or just around the house like I’m wearing it!

Skinny Stretch Pull-On Knit Jegging | Tank Top| Sleeve Sweater Duster Cardigan

Fit tips: Cardigan size up, L // tank size up if in-between, L // Jegging tts, L

This longer length cardigan has been a favorite of mine for years. It is soft, stretchy and I LOVE the color for fall. It’s not too thick making it a great option for early fall when it’s still a bit warm but I still need something on my arms. Paired with these stretchy amazon jeggings its also a great casual business outfit.

Lark & Ro Viscose Blend Lightweight Open Front Cardigan | V- Neck Tank | Rothy’s Pointed Flats

Fit Tips: cardigan size down, M // tank size up, runs small, L // Rothys’ size up 1/2

This cardigan was a great find for a lightweight shorter option. The fabric is a bit more silky feeling than any of the others so good for business casual outfits. Also since it has no pockets it’s very slimming to the body and not adding any bulk.

Ruffle Neck Double Lined Chiffon Blouse | Goodthreads Boucle Shaker Stitch Cardigan

This chunky cardigan is so perfect for late fall when I want all things rust colored and cozy. It’s running oversized so for sure size down for a more slimming look.

Cozy Plush Sweater Coat with Pockets |Tunic Short Sleeve Blouse in Orange | Leopard Flats

Fit tips: Cardigan runs large size down, in a L need M // tunic tts, L // flats size down if in-between

This cozy plush cardigan is so soft my daughter immediately tried to steal it! While I’ve heard others compare it to the Barefoot Dreams cardigan it’s really not that same fabric. While it is soft and has a great color just know that the texture is more fluffy. This one ran very large though so size down!

Daily Ritual V-Neck Sweater | Leopard Flats

This lightweight fitted sweater was such a great Amazon find! It is soft and fitted without being too clingy. I LOVE the color and it looks great with my leopard flats. I know a ton of you have picked this one up but if you haven’t do it.

Teacher outfit // fall 2020 // leopard  // Amazon finds August 2020

Long Knit Sweater with Pockets in Light Tan (size down if in-between, in L) | Lark & Ro Leopard Blouse (tank in stock) | Dark wash jeans | Black Flats

This thicker sweater is another great fall find! I love the chunky texture and perfect fall color. I can see wearing this with a ton of dresses and boots into fall.


PANTS

printed leggings// business casual // Amazon finds August 2020

Ruffle Neck Double Lined Chiffon Blouse | Ab Solution Ponte Pant | Black Flats

Fit Tips: Ruffle Neck blouse size up for larger chest, L // pants tts but run long, 12

If you love Wit and Wisdom then you are going to love these work pants with the same ab-solution technology! They have an internal stretchy waistband and overall legging feeling but come in some cute work approbate prints. These are headed back to Amazon for me though because they ran long (are tucked under for the photo).

green amazon basics leggings // Amazon finds August 2020

Skinny Stretch Pull-On Knit Jegging | Tank Top| Sleeve Sweater Duster Cardigan

I’m loving these affordable green leggings from Amazon basics! They are more of a olive heather in person but fit great and are not too thick. As you can see they can be dressed up or down depending on your workwear or day.

Washable scrub joggers from Amazon // Med Couture // Amazon finds August 2020

Med Couture Jogger Scrub Pant (tts, LP)| Tank | Jacket

Fit Tips: Joggers tts, LP // tank size up and runs long, L // Jacket size up L medium wash

I FINALLY found some scrubs that don’t look like scrubs! These jogger style pants have some of the medical features without the whole ER vibe. They are a stretch fabric but not as thin as most scrubs and I love the jogger style. Mid rise with a comfortable stretchy waistband and are available in petite and tall, I went with a petite and they were full length hitting right at my ankle.


SHOES

Mustard pointed toe flat from Amazon // Rothy's dupe

Pointed Toe Flat Shoes Knit (size up 1/2)

These pointed toe shoes have the almost exact feel as Rothys but are not washable and are a fraction of the price. I really liked the more muted yellow color and it they have coordinated so well with fall items.

Breathable Leopard pointed toe flat // Rothy's dupe from Amazon

Breathable Mesh Flats Leopard Print (True to Size)

If you have been watching Facebook at all this month you have seen these comfy flats like a million times! When I got them I thought ok affordable option for a Rothy’s but these fit even better because the toe is not so narrow.

Unfortunately they only come in whole sizes and when I ordered my 2nd pair in black these were very beat up and felt stretched out. So if in-between size down and maybe be a little wary of the black color.

Breathable Mesh Flats (these felt about a 1/2 size bigger in black)

Dremapairs pumps versus Sam Edelman Hazel pump

Top: Sam Edelman Hazel Pumps | Bottom: Dream pairs Pumps in nude patent

I’ve been on the hunt for a pair of nude pumps that are a touch lighter than my Hazel pumps from Sam Edelman and I was excited to see these from Dreampairs because I have a ton of friends that love their shoes. Unfortunately these ended up like a light pink vs nude so they went back. These also fit tight so size up 1/2

Sketchers leopard washable pointed toe flats

Sketchers Washable Flats (true to size)

These sketchers washable flats are perfect for those of you looking for a washable shoe that’s actually comfortable! The toe is not too tight and I’m loving this leopard print.

    Have the jersey dresses shrunk at all? I ordered the “brick” one you have on in the first photo but I’m unsure if I should keep or exchange for a size down…?
