Amazon Fashion Finds | April

Happy Friday, friends, and cheers to the weekend! What do you have planned? We don’t have much on the agenda, but I do have the urge to purge and spring clean! Now that our patio is ready for the season (see it HERE), I’m ready to get the rest of our spaces cleaned up.

Did you catch yesterday’s Mother’s Day gift guide HERE? Some great ideas for mom, for sure. I also shared the prettiest dresses for Spring HERE, and a huge sale on all things Our Place HERE.

Today I’ve got your favorite monthly series, my Amazon Fashion Finds! I had so much fun finding fresh, affordable styles for the season… in fact, I found so many goodies I had to edit myself! I started these Fashion Finds over five years ago, and they quickly became reader faves.

It takes some intense digging to find the good stuff, but I love the challenge of discovering such gems! So let’s get to it!

Sizing info: I’m 5’4″ 125-ish pounds, and usually wear an XS and 26 jeans. My fit tips and sizing recommendations are included with each description. 

Dresses & Rompers //

This cotton twill dress is a favorite for several years… so much so, I grabbed it in this new khaki color. It’s buttery soft and moves so beautifully, with adjustable straps and a comfy elastic across the back.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing an XS dress, but there’s not much give to the fabric, so I’d size up one if you’re busty.

Tiered Midi Dress | Strappy Sandals | Layered Heart Necklace | Color Tile Bracelets | Gold Bead Bracelets

 

Colorblock cutie! I love the color combos of this easy dress, made of a stretchy woven material. It comes in solids, as well, with the cutest ruffle sleeve and flared hem.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing an XS dress.

This one-shoulder is a fab find, for sure! The top has a comfy, stretchy smocking, with a silky-soft full skirt. Wear it with heels or flats, add a jacket or dress it up, it’s super versatile and uber stylish!

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Small dress.

Right: with Miller Sandals | Layered Heart Necklace | Gold Hoop Earrings | Gold Bead Bracelets

 

I shared a similar graphic dress in last week’s Dressing Room Diaries, but this one is about half the price! It’s a poly-blend with a touch of stretch, and I prefer the slimmer fit and sleeve.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing an XS dress.

Bell Sleeve Dress
Slide Sandals (size up half) | Layered Heart Necklace | Gold Bead Bracelets | Color Tile Bracelets

 

Oh hey sassy LBD! I was instantly smitten with this one… a classic fit-and-flare, with a fun edgy cut-out. It’s surprisingly comfortable to wear and super flattering. The front is a low v, but still works with the NuBra, and the back of the skirt has an elastic waist. The longer length keeps it from being too sassy, and it even has pockets!

Fit Tip: I’m wearing an XS dress.

Strappy Front Cross Dress
NuBra | Clear Strappy Heels (size up half) | Layered Heart Necklace | Color Tile Bracelets

 

Your new summer uniform, this easy a-line dress is equal parts cute and comfy. With a tiered skirt and flutter sleeves, it’s a linen-blend you’ll reach for on repeat.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Small dress.

Ruffle Pocket Dress
Left: with Slide Sandals (size up half) | Layered Heart Necklace  | Color Tile Bracelets
Right: with Miller Sandals | Layered Heart Necklace | Gold Bead Bracelets

 

This floral dress is a gem! Made of a thick poly-blend, it has quite a bit of stretch for a flattering and comfy fit. I love the square neckline with cap sleeves, and the pleats are well-d0ne on the skirt.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Small dress.

Pleated Floral Dress
Left: with Braided Heels (Also HERE & Look For Less HERE) | Layered Heart Necklace | Gold Bead Bracelets
Right: with Clear Strappy Heels (size up half) | Layered Heart Necklace | Gold Hoop Earrings | Gold Bead Bracelets

 

One of my favorite patterns, this black and white spot is perfect for Spring, Summer, and Fall…and the dresses are silky soft and lightweight. Both have a flattering halter neckline, the shorter one with an elastic waist and tie, the longer with a loose, drop waist.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Small in both dresses.

Spotty Mini Dress | Spotty Midi Dress
Left: with Slide Sandals (size up half) | Color Tile Bracelets
Right: with Strappy Sandals | Gold Bead Bracelets

 

Perfect for teachers or the office, this thick jersey-knit dress is soft and stretchy, with a flattering wrap top, ruching across the tummy, and a full skirt. The patterns and colors are so fun. I kept the black one for an easy date-night look. It’s awful to think about, but it’s a good option for funerals, as well. (I always keep a go-to in my closet for those occasions.)

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Small dress.

Faux Wrap Dress
Clear Strappy Heels (size up half) | Layered Heart Necklace | Gold Hoop Earrings | Gold Bead Bracelets

 

Another great find for teachers and busy moms… this t-shirt dress is thick, but soft and stretchy, in a great length for running around (and bending over!). Wear it with sandals or sneakers, or even over your swimsuit.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing an XS dress.

If you’re keeping count, which surely you’re not, this makes four patterns I now own in this dress!! I just can’t quit it! I love the flowy shape, so easy to wear on its own or with a jean jacket, and it’s perfect for vacation. It has adjustable straps and pockets, and is a great length.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing an XS dress.

Strappy Maxi Dress
Left: with Strappy Sandals | Layered Heart Necklace | Gold Hoop Earrings | Gold Bead Bracelets
Right: with Slide Sandals (size up half) | Headband | Layered Heart Necklace | Gold Hoop Earrings | Gold Bead Bracelets

 

You may recognize this set from our Mexico trip (see those outfits HERE)… it was so fun to wear for vacation, and I realized I never shared it here! Made of a textured material, the pants are an easy pull-on with elastic waist and high leg slit. The cropped top has an elastic hem and flutter sleeves.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing an XS in the blue and a small in the black… I prefer the small for a less cropped top.

Ruffle Two Piece Set

Right: with Slide Sandals (size up half) | Headband | Layered Heart Necklace | Gold Hoop Earrings | Gold Bead Bracelets

 

The fun spotted pattern, this time in a relaxed-fit romper. I love the oversized dolman sleeves and loose legs… pair it with wedges for date night, or flats for day time. The waist is elastic and includes an optional tie belt.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Small romper, but would prefer an XS.

TOPS & TEES //

J.Crew or Amazon… you be the judge! This ruffled one-shoulder is all kinds of cute and so versatile. Wear it out or tucked, with denim or skirts, it’s a darling find for the season. The tie on the shoulder is a bit aggressive for me, but it can easily be snipped off (the pic on the right shows it without the bow).

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Small top and Small skirt.

Ruffle One Shoulder Blouse
Left: with White Jeans (0) | Braided Heels (Also HERE & Look For Less HERE) | Gold Bead Bracelets
Right: with Maxi Skirt | Strappy Sandals | Gold Bead Bracelets

 

Nothing says summer like an embroidered top, and I love the oversized fit of these. Plus, the embroidery is so well done!

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Small top, but no need to size up.

Embroidered Top
Slim Straight Jeans (Size 4, Authentic Blue) | White Jeans (0) | Slide Sandals (size up half)

 

Looking for an easy graphic tee… both these ‘Be Kind’ options are darling! The tee is crazy-soft, and the sweatshirt is the perfect light weight for the season.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Medium in both for an oversized fit.

Short Sleeve Tee | Long Sleeve Tee
Left: with Slim Straight Jeans (Size 4, Authentic Blue) | Slide Sandals (size up half)
Right: with Jean Shorts | Puff Slide Sandals

 

Henleys are a closet staple for me, and this waffle knit is perfect for pairing with jeans and shorts. It has a relaxed, drop shoulder, and is a longer length for wearing out or tucked.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Small tee.

Pants & Skirts //

I can’t get enough of palazzo pants this season, and the pattern on these is so chic! They’re a light weight, silky rayon, with elastic waist and drawstring. They run long, but I just rolled the waistband once for the perfect length for me.

The tee is a basic v-neck with a kick… check out the detail on the sleeve!

Fit Tip: I’m wearing size Small pants and Small tee.

Patterned Wide Leg Pants
White Tee | Strappy Sandals | Layered Heart Necklace | Gold Bead Bracelets | Jean Jacket

 

These pants have an extra-wide leg, and look almost like a skirt, with a wrap belt that helps to slim the waist. I love them paired with a basic tank, or even over your swimsuit.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size 4-6 pants and Small tank.

Spotty Tie Waist Pants
Racerback Tank | Strappy Sandals | Layered Heart Necklace | Gold Hoop Earrings | Color Tile Bracelets

 

I love maxi skirts for warmer months, and tend to reach for them over shorts for a more comfortable and flattering style. This gauzy skirt has an easy, pull-on elastic waist for a breezy fit. It’s lined to the knee.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Small skirt and Small tank.

Tiered Maxi Skirt
Racerback Tank | Strappy Sandals | Neoprene Tote | Layered Heart Necklace | Color Tile Bracelets | Gold Bead Bracelets

 

Swimsuits & Cover-Ups //

This suit is super chic, but also mom-approved! The top has support with built-in cups, ruching across the tummy for added coverage and control, and a full-coverage bum. It comes in tons of amazing solids and fun prints.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size XS swim suit.

Ruffle One Piece Swim Suit
Straw Hat (A01: Beige) | Layered Heart Necklace | Gold Hoop Earrings

 

A similar suit, with extra ruching through the tummy, this one-shoulder has a shelf-bra and full coverage across the bum.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size 6 swim suit.

Ruffle One Shoulder Swim Suit
Straw Hat (A01: Beige) | Layered Heart Necklace | Gold Hoop Earrings

 

I love the retro vibes of this high-rise two-piece… plus the bold colors! The top can be worn with or without the tie, depending on the coverage you prefer. The bottoms have a tummy-controlling high rise, but the back is a touch cheeky.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Small swim suit.

Tie Bikini Swim Suit
Straw Hat (A01: Beige) | Layered Heart Necklace | Gold Hoop Earrings

 

Your tan lines might be interesting, but you’ll be the talk of the pool in this uber chic suit! Made of a textured material, it has adjustable straps and a padded top. The bum coverage is good, too! I love this skirt worn as a cover-up, don’t you?!

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Small swim suit.

Scalloped One Piece Swim Suit
Tiered Maxi Skirt | Slide Sandals (size up half) | Straw Hat (A01: Beige) | Layered Heart Necklace | Gold Hoop Earrings

 

As for cover-ups, these were my favorite finds this month, by far! The light blue on the left is a gauzy, textured cotton shirt with pleats and a button front. The pink on the right is a classic pullover shirt style, in a silky material and roll-tab sleeves.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Small in both cover-ups.

So once again, Amazon delivers the goods! So many great finds and stylish pieces, don’t you think? And of course I wore the Easy Does It Wire-Free Bra or the NuBra with just about everything. Don’t we all have at least one of those happy bras by now?!

    Would you stop posting so many super cute looks (bell sleeve dress, patterned wide leg pants, spotted mini & midi dresses) already? Ha,ha.
    I luv my pleated cover-up, in purple lavender. It was a wee bit tight in Medium, so I soaked it in water and hand stretched it, hung it up damp and voila, perfect fit.
    Thank you, Ms. Cassie! : )

    Bought the one shouldered dress in purple/lilac and absolutely love it. It’s so soft, comfortable, easy to wear, and very flattering. Love it so much I bought in other colours. Thank you so much for posting it, because I never look for clothes on Amazon, and I would have missed out on this great find.
