Happy Friday, friends. I hope you are all finding ways to seek out moments of peace and joy, in the midst of yet another devastating, heart-breaking week. My heart is broken for the families of the children in Uvalde, and my mind is constantly on them and the sheer overwhelming grief and pain they must be feeling. We are so grateful today marks the final day of this school year, so I can keep my kids close for awhile.
This week I shared some cute swim cover-ups HERE, and darling dresses HERE. And if you’ve been out-of-office for a bit, we also launched our GLxHSP Hello Summer Collection HERE! The weekend also marks the beginning of the huge Nordstrom Half Yearly Sale, you can find tons of great finds 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 four years ago, and now they’re one of the most popular posts each month!
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 //
The moment I slipped this soft dress on I thought, ‘How am I just now finding this gem?!’ It has great reviews, so it’s clearly been around for awhile! It’s silky soft, with an elastic waist and an easy fit-and-flare shape. The straps are adjustable, the tie is optional, and it’s fully lined. I took the pink one with me to Turks last weekend!
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Small.
Tie Waist Dress
Left with: Slide Sandals (size up half) | Woven Tote Bag | Gold Bead Bracelets
Right with: Strappy Heels (size up half) | Bamboo Clutch | Gold Bead Bracelets
If you have a wedding or event this Summer, add this gorgeous number to your cart immediately!! The silhouette is so flattering and the prints so chic, plus it’s lightweight and breezy… perfect for Summer nights!
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Small.
Halter Maxi Dress (Colors: Right – Tangerine | Left – Teal)
Strappy Heels (size up half) | Gold Bead Bracelets
Another gorgeous option, I’m keeping this one in hopes something fun pops up! Not only do I love the flattering halter neckline and cinched waist, but the red and pink color combo is stunning in person!
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Small.
Tiered Halter Dress (Color: Hot Pink)
Strappy Heels (size up half) | Gold Hoop Earrings | Gold Bead Bracelets
This cute linen-blend dress has been a fave for a few seasons, and now comes in this darling pink and paisley print. It’s incredible quality, with a flutter sleeve and bra-friendly v-neck.
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Small.
Tiered Ruffle Dress
Left with: Slide Sandals (size up half) | Woven Tote Bag | Removable Tassel | Gold Bead Bracelets
Right with: Strappy Heels (size up half) | Gold Bead Bracelets
Here’s a few more fun colors I’ve shared before…
Tiered Ruffle Dress
Left with: Slide Sandals (size up half) | Layered Heart Necklace | Color Tile Bracelets
Right with: Miller Sandals | Layered Heart Necklace | Gold Bead Bracelets
Pajamas disguised as a cute sundress! This dress is made of the softest jersey knit, with a loose fit and fun tie. It’s lightweight and cool, perfect for steamy summers.
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Small, but need my usual XS, so don’t size up!
One Shoulder Dress
Slide Sandals (size up half) | Color Tile Bracelets
Another one-shoulder option, this one is flowy and light, with the prettiest floral prints. The cinched waist gives it a flattering fit, and the skirt has the best movement.
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Small, but would prefer a size down.
Floral Tie-Shoulder Maxi Dress (Colors: Left – Green white | Right – Blue white)
Strappy Heels (size up half) | Gold Hoop Earrings | Gold Bead Bracelets | Slide Sandals (size up half)
I know many of you prefer sleeves, so I found this cute maxi with a loose flutter sleeve. It’s a poly-blend, with a smocked waist and flowy skirt, and comes in a slew of colors and patterns.
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Small.
Smocked Maxi Dress
Strappy Sandals (TTS) | Bamboo Clutch | Gold Bead Bracelets
This one-shoulder smocked dress has been a Top 5 best-seller for the last two months, so I had to try new colors! It’s the perfect blend of cute and sassy, and easily works for day or night. The top is stretchy and comfy, with a full, tiered skirt for a breezy fit. I pair it with this bra for strapless support.
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Small.
Seersucker One Shoulder Dress (20% off!) | Solid One Shoulder Dress
Left with: Strappy Heels (size up half) | Blue Raffia Earrings | Gold Bead Bracelets
Right with: Slide Sandals (size up half) | Woven Tote Bag | Removable Tassel | Gold Bead Bracelets
Another dress jackpot find… this one is definitely at the top of the list, too. Made of the best, quality jersey cotton, it has a relaxed fit-and-flare shape that’s comfy and elegant. Dress it up or keep it casual, it will be a go-to!
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Small.
Fit & Flare Midi Dress
Left with: Strappy Heels (size up half) | Bamboo Clutch | Gold Bead Bracelets
Right with: Slide Sandals (size up half) | Color Tile Bracelets
Another fun sundress option, this one easily dresses up for evening! I love the lace detail of the top, with the silky, full skirt.
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Small.
Tiered Lace Dress
Slide Sandals (size up half) | Gold Bead Bracelets
This classic fit-and-flare has the cutest flutter sleeves, in a darling summer eyelet. It’s fully lined and so fun for work and parties.
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Small.
Ruffle Midi Dress
Left with: Strappy Heels (size up half) | Color Tile Bracelets
Right with: Ankle Strap Heels (size up half) (30% off!) | Gold Bead Bracelets
I’m not usually one for a body-con dress, so this one really caught me by surprise! It has an incredibly flattering fit, with ruching along the hips, and a comfy stretch. Wear it short or below the knee, and drape it off one or both shoulders for added sass.
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size 4-6.
Off-Shoulder Dress (25% off!)
Strappy Heels (size up half) | Gold Bead Bracelets
SETS, JUMPSUITS, & SKIRTS //
This set shot to the top of my Summer Finds list! I ordered the orange first, and loved it so much I immediately grabbed it in white! The shorts are a comfy, pull-on style with drawstring and pockets, and it has a matching ruffled top. The material is a linen texture, so it’s a great weight, but doesn’t wrinkle easily. And the white is fully lined! Perfect for vacation!
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Small.
Ruffle Two-Piece Set
Slide Sandals (size up half) | Woven Tote Bag | Color Tile Bracelets
I love the style of this set, but do wish the fabric quality was a little better. The pants are pull-on with a loose, wide leg, and the cropped top has a flattering a-line shape. Avoid the white… it’s not fully lined.
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size XS.
Two Piece Set
Strappy Heels (size up half) | Woven Tote Bag | Removable Tassel | Color Tile Bracelets
This set has ‘vacation vibes’ written all over it! A strapless, smocked top paired with high-waisted pull-on pants, in the cutest prints and colors. The pattern is a poly-blend fabric, and the solid has more of a textured cotton feel.
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Small.
Strapless Two-Piece Set (Colors: Left – A-multi | Right: Black solid)
Strappy Heels (size up half) | Gold Bead Bracelets | Slide Sandals (size up half)
This jumpsuit is 100 times cuter in person than I’m able to photograph! Made of a textured cotton-blend, it has a great weight with an extra wide leg and cute little cut-out. The straps are adjustable, and it’s easily dressed up or down.
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Small.
Pocket Jumpsuit (Colors: Left – Black | Right – Gray Blue) (20% off!)
Strappy Sandals (TTS) | Gold Bead Bracelets | Color Tile Bracelets
This is a similar jumpsuit, in the same textured material, but with a one-shoulder strap and high waist. They are both so cute and super fun to wear!
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Small.
One-Shoulder Jumpsuit (Colors: Left – Black | Right – Rust) (25% off!)
Strappy Sandals (TTS) | Color Tile Bracelets
I love these silky soft maxi skirts as an alternative to shorts… they keep you cool but covered, and come in the cutest prints. Pair it with everything from this cropped sweater to a favorite pocket tee.
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Small skirt, tank, and pocket tee.
Midi Skirt
Ribbed Crop Tank | Pocket T-Shirt | Slide Sandals (size up half) | Gold Bead Bracelets
ACTIVE & LOUNGEWEAR //
I love a pull-on sweatshirt short for around the house, or for casual weekend wear. One of my faves are these from Vuori, but these have a similar fit and style for less! A wide, elastic waist and longer inseam, they’re soft cotton and come in great colors.
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Small.
Drawstring Pocket Shorts
Pocket T-Shirt | Veja Sneakers (size down whole size) | Color Tile Bracelets
Another ‘where have you been?!’ find… this ribbed lounge set is as soft as it is cute! Great quality, it’s so comfy you’ll be looking for excuses to wear it out of the house!
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Small.
Striped Lounge Set | Slide Sandals (size up half)
SWIMSUITS & COVER-UPS //
This suit has a designer silhouette, but with an Amazon price tag! It’s got great bust support with the wide straps and wire, and it has a high-rise bottom with full coverage.
This cover-up looks to be marketed more as a dress (it even comes with a belt), but the gauzy cotton is perfect as a kimono-style cover-up, and it comes in black, too.
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Small swimsuit and size Small cover-up.
Spotty Swimsuit (Colors: Left – P-green | Right – P-blue)
Long Button Cover-Up (Color: 02-white) | Straw Hat (A01: Beige) | Slide Sandals (size up half) | Woven Tote Bag | Removable Tassel | Gold Bead Bracelets
I was instantly smitten with this swim find, and couldn’t pack it fast enough! (See it on the beach HERE.) The print is so high-end, and I adore all the colors and print mix. The top has a good support with adjustable straps, and the bottom is high-waist with moderate bum coverage.
The pull-on skirt is darling with tanks and tees, and especially cute as a swim cover, as is the oversized shirt.
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Small swimsuit, but the bottoms are a touch big. Size Small skirt, and size Small cover-up shirt.
Two-Piece Jungle Swimsuit (Color: Coral) | Collared Cover-Up (Color: 01-pink) | Flounce Skirt (Color: T6)
Slide Sandals (size up half) | Straw Hat (A01: Beige) | Gold Bead Bracelets

- Two-Piece Jungle Swimsuit

Uvalde in my heart, mind and soul, 24/7 here too. My very first question was,… why was that school unlocked? Where was security? Inhale. Exhale.
Way too many, way too cute looks from hardworking SP. Thanks for bringing a smile, as always.
XO.
Hi Cassie! The pink dress you took to Turks – is the other color you are in black or navy? If black, is it still available? I can’t find it.
Also, at some point would you do (or maybe you’ve already done) a tutorial on how you are “curling” your hair right now? My hair is similar length and I love the wave look you’re doing right now. Thanks!!
Hi Jody! The other one is navy… sorry, the photo looks black! The exact colorway is called “Bright Blue” for whatever reason.
As for my hair, here are my most recent blog posts about curling my hair:

Love love love your monthly Amazon posts and have been following them since you started. Some of my favorite wardrobe pieces come from your posts!!
Would you consider doing something similar for Target? In the last year or so I’ve been loving their apparel, and I find their online selection is way bigger (and better) than what they carry in store. Would love to see similar try on sess for their stuff!
Thanks!
Hey! I have several Target Hauls on the blog… here are the links to the most recent ones:
