Amazon Fashion Finds | August

Happy Friday, friends, and cheers to the weekend! We’re headed to the lake house tonight to check the status of things with the drought. It’s heartbreaking to see the land and crops drying up, but we finally have rain in the forecast, so fingers crossed it’s gentle!

Mr. College headed back to campus yesterday, and I had a mini-panic when I realized we haven’t planned any fall trips to visit yet! Having that to look forward to always makes missing him a little easier. Little Miss is adjusting to her new school, and I can’t thank you enough for your prayers and kind messages of support for her. I’m truly blessed by this community.

I can hardly believe another month has passed, but today it’s time for your favorite series, my Amazon Fashion Finds! I started these Fashion Finds over six 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!

But be warned, this Haul is especially good! As evidenced by my ‘keep’ pile, ha! I’m styling several of them for both now and later.

Sizing info: I’m 5’4″ 125-ish pounds, and usually wear an XS/0 and 26 jeans. My fit tips and sizing recommendations are included with each description. 

 

Dresses //

It will take a while for official Fall weather to arrive here, so we’ll be in transition for the next couple of months… making dresses like this a go-to! It’s lightweight and soft, so you don’t overheat, but the style and pattern say ‘Fall.’ The top has operational buttons, and the waist a custom drawstring to wear as loose or fitted as you like.

It’s fully lined through the body, and perfect with sandals, heels, booties and mules.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Small.

Gold Hoop Earrings | Initial Necklace
Left with: Chain Mules // Right with: Block Heel Booties (TTS, Color: Khaki)

 

Another favorite find, I love the sheer sleeves and comfy smocked waist of this Fall-ready dress. The tiered skirt is feminine and fun, and it’s fully lined through the body. Wear the tassels open or tied, or in my case, I’ll likely just snip them off.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Small.

Spotty Drop Waist Dress (Colors: Left – Leopard Pink | Right – Leopard Coffee)
Left with: Strappy Heels (size up half) | Initial Necklace // Right with: Block Heel Booties (TTS, Color: Nude)

 

Both styles also transition perfectly to the workplace with the addition of my favorite blazer. This ‘latte’ color is the perfect neutral for the traditional Fall palettes.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size XXS in the blazer for a shrunken fit.

Notch Collar Blazer (Color: Latte)
Spotty Drop Waist Dress | Tie Waist Chiffon Dress | Strappy Heels (size up half)

 

Always a sucker for stripes, this dress is made of a sturdy twill-like material that gives it substance, but it’s still soft and flowy (perfect texture for transitioning). I love the little notch collar and button front, and the skirt has the right amount of flow.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Small, but could wear an XS, so no need to size up.

Sleeveless Midi Dress (Color: Gray)
Cut-Out Sandals | Initial Necklace | Jean Jacket

Hello statement maker! This dress has a gorgeous print and blend of bright colors, with a smocked top and balloon sleeves. I love it toned down a bit with my trusty denim jacket.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Small.

Cut-Out Sandals | Initial Necklace | Jean Jacket

 

Maxi skirts and dresses are one of my favorite transitional styles… they keep me covered, without burning me up! My formula for the in-between seasonal dressing is to expose either the legs or the arms! This sweet flutter sleeve maxi fits the formula just right, with cute textured dots and a button front.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Small.

Cut-Out Sandals | Initial Necklace | Gold Hoop Earrings | Jean Jacket

 

Another great way to dress for both the season and the weather is in the color palette. Warm yellows, olives, and plums are synonymous with Fall, even if the dress feels like Summer. This one has a soft, flowy skirt with a stretchy smocked top.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Small.

Jumpsuits & Rompers //

My girlfriend has an olive green jumpsuit, and every time she wears it I swoon over how cute she looks! But the right jumpsuit has always alluded me… until now! This one is a soft but sturdy cotton blend, with a flattering wide leg and belted waist. I adore the flap pockets and button front, too.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Small.

Utility Jumpsuit (Color: Army Green)
Left with: Cut-Out Sandals | Initial Necklace // Right with: Jean Jacket | Block Heel Booties (TTS, Color: Khaki)

 

Oh hey sassy romper! How cute is this color combo, with flattering wrap style and belted waist. The tiered bottom is actually shorts, ensuring you stay covered up. (Sidenote: I tried this romper in black, and did not love the material.)

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Small.

Skirts & Pants //

Yep, maxi skirt on repeat! In fact, I wore this skirt to a volleyball game the day I tried it on for the first time! It’s soft and flowy, with an elastic/drawstring waist, and in the perfect hues for Fall. I love the taupe tank for a change from my usual white.

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

Another example of how the color palette can take a Summer outfit straight to Fall. One of my go-to pull-on skirts, but in a yummy shade of pumpkin, and textured for the new season.

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

Tiered Mini Skirt (Color: Caramel)
Racerback Tank (Color: Khaki [No Coffee]) | Jean Jacket | Cut-Out Sandals | Initial Necklace

 

Same skirt, but in a more chiffon finish and flirty floral pattern. The black grounds it and keeps it from being too sweet or summery.

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

Floral Mini Skirt (Color: Pink Floral)
Racerback Tank (Colors: Left – 1black | Right – 1white) | Initial Necklace
Left with: Chain Mules // Right with: Jean Jacket | Cut-Out Sandals

 

I spotted these pants on a friend, and thought she looked unbelievably chic! They are a high-rise with elastic waist, with slit pockets on the back. The wide leg is flattering and comfy, and the textured material has just enough substance. So cute paired with a tank for now, and a sweater later.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Medium pant for a relaxed fit.

Sweaters & Tops //

I may not be able to wear it for another century, but this sweater is a top find for me this month! I adore the quarter-zip style with the mock neck, and of course the black stripes. It’s a soft, medium weight, making it the perfect ‘end of summer’ sweater.

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

Fall means cardigan season, and I always love finding fun new styles for you. This chunky knit has balloon sleeves with the cutest oversized spots. It comes in a range of great colors, too.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Small cardigan, but could use an XS, so no need to size up.

I ordered several button-front shirts, and all but this one were a disappointment. But what all the others lacked, this one more than makes up! It’s rayony-soft, with the cutest stripes and flap pockets. It comes in a range of colors, and covers the bum in the back.

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

Accessories //

Did you notice the booties in many of my pics? They’re an Amazon find, as well! They’re definitely a faux-suede of manmade materials, but a really cute style and great price! I love that the ankle is more fitted for a more flattering look with skirts and dresses, and also fitting under the hem of straight leg jeans.

Fit Tip: I find the booties true-to-size.

If you’re a fan of the neoprene totes, this one is a must! The pattern is absolutely darling (and surprisingly neutral!), and the price can’t be beat!

And finally, with concerts and football season upon us, make sure you’ve got a clear stadium bag! This one is not only cute, but sturdy and a great size. I zhushed it up with a stylish strap.

So was I right… was this an especially good Haul, or what?! And of course I wore the Easy Does It Wire-Free Bra with just about everything. Don’t we all have at least one of those happy bras by now?!
