Happy Friday, friends, and cheers to the weekend!! How was your week? Mine seemed to fly and drag, all at the same time. It was also one of those weeks where I felt like I couldn’t keep up with my To Do List…you know what I mean?
We’ve got a full weekend ahead…Little Miss is back on the volleyball court, and has her second game tonight. It’s strange (and a little sad) to see them sitting so far apart on the bench, while wearing masks, but we’ll take what we can get if it means she gets to play the sport she loves!
Our upstairs carpet is being today and tomorrow, which means cleaning out everything, and finding a way to get as much off the floor as possible. I’ve only ever installed carpet prior to moving in a house, and this is a whole different chore! One thing’s for sure, it will be a ‘no dogs allowed’ zone!
Today is time for your favorite monthly series, Amazon Fashion Finds! I started these Fashion Finds over two 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! And remember, I’d never share anything with you that I wouldn’t wear myself, or recommend to my best friend!
This month I’m focusing on pieces to wear now, but also transition to the coming season, along with a big dose of comfy and cozy pieces. Because #2020
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.
Cozy Pullovers //
I know a piece is good when I put it on out of the package, and I couldn’t get this pullover hoodie on fast enough! It’s thick and super soft, and has a ‘washed 100 times’ feel about it….like wearing your husband’s college sweatshirt. It’s great quality and comes in a slew of colors.
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a Small for a relaxed fit, but it’s true to size.
Hoodie Sweatshirt | White Jeans | Sneakers
Wear it with leggings, jeans or joggers…the color makes it cute with everything!
Hoodie Sweatshirt | Fave Leggings | Comfy Slip-On Sneakers
It’s a good thing I work from home, because I’m craving all the cozy! This pullover sweatshirt is a tunic style, with extra length to cover the bum. I love the neckline, and subtle flecks of color…plus, it’s warm and super cozy-soft!
Fit Tip: I’m wearing an XS
Hooded Tunic Sweatshirt | Fave Leggings | Comfy Slip-On Sneakers
Before sweatshirt weather, there’s long-sleeve tee weather…and this tunic tee is long for leggings, and super soft. It has nice drape to it, and doesn’t cling, either.
Fit Tip: I’m wearing an XS
Crewneck Tunic Top | Fave Leggings | Comfy Slip-On Sneakers
This easy tee has an oversized fit and relaxed style. The hem is banded for a little more shape, and a drop sleeve.
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a Small for oversized fit, but it’s true to size.
Comfy Long Sleeve T-Shirt | Cut-Off Shorts | White Sneakers
One of my fave striped pullovers from last year is back, this time in a cute new hoodie and crewneck style. They’re both great quality and thickness, and super soft. They come in solids, but I’m smitten with the multi-color stripes.
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a Small in both.

Tops //
Doesn’t this top look straight out of Anthropologie? Without the Anthro price tag, of course. It’s a lightweight woven material, with a ruffle neck that can be worn tied or open, and embellished sleeves. It has a drapey fit for wearing out or half-tucked.
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a Small, but would prefer my usual XS for a shorter sleeve, so I’d say true to size.
Floral Peasant Blouse | White Jeans | Suede Mules (look for less HERE)
This top is classic and chic, and easily dresses up for work and evenings, or keep it casual for day. Layer it under a blazer or jacket, too, for a fun peek of lace. I love the drop shoulder, and bra-friendly v-neck.
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a small, but it’s true to size.
Lace V-Neck T-Shirt| White Jeans | Leopard Flats | Heart Necklace (use code CASSIE20 for 20% off today only! See more of my top picks on sale HERE)
Chambray is always a good idea, and this top pairs it with the silhouette of the season…puff sleeves! It’s a sturdy cotton-blend, with gathers at the shoulder and straight hem for wearing out, or tucked. I’d tuck it in a skirt for dressier styles, too.
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a Small
Puff-Sleeve V-Neck Blouse | White Jeans | Heart Necklace (use code CASSIE20 for 20% off today only!) | Suede Mules (look for less HERE)
I’ve shared this darling little top before, but I had to see the new pattern in person! It’s a pale, blush pink, with a subtle animal spot. The woven material is soft and flowy, with a flutter sleeve and ruffled neckline. Pair it with trousers, skirts or jeans, it’s incredible versatile (and well-made!).
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a Size 2 in the Blouse and small in Pants (definitely size up in the pants)
Leopard Ruffle-Sleeve Blouse | High-Waist Tie Pants | Strappy Heels | Heart Necklace (use code CASSIE20 for 20% off today only!)
One of my favorite Amazon finds to date, I adore this puff sleeve top in a range of colors. I wore it all Spring and Summer, and now I’m transitioning it to Fall with leopard flats. Such a simple combo, but full of style. So cute with the striped bag, don’t you think?
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a Small
Puff-Sleeve Crewneck Top | White Jeans | Leopard Flats | Striped Bag Strap | Crossbody Bag
Dresses //
My love of dresses knows no season, and I found several just perfect for September and October…starting with this classic wrap, with flutter sleeves and beautiful fall colors. It’s a true wrap, so you get a custom fit at the waist and chest, and it’s soft and flowy.
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a Small
V-Neck Mini Dress | Sandals | Bangle Set | Heart Necklace (use code CASSIE20 for 20% off today only! See more of my top picks on sale HERE)
Everyone’s favorite t-shirt dress…now in leopard! Made of a thick cotton blend, it’s sturdy and soft, and so easy to wear! I pair it with sneakers, sandals and slides.
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a Small for a looser fit and a little more length.
Leopard Dress with Pockets | Sandals
This little dress is a cute find, with flutter sleeves, tiered skirt and soft material. It’s fully-lined, too, and cute with sandals, sneakers or booties.
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a Small

I don’t think the photo does this easy dress justice, but it’s a total keeper for me! So simple, yet the best fall color and subtle pattern, forgiving fit and cute drop hem. It’s on the thin side, but not sure. It’d be cute with booties and a hat, too!
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a Small, but would prefer an XS, so true to size.
Long-Sleeve Drop Waist Dress | Suede Mules (look for less HERE)
Workout Wear //
You know Amazon is my go-to spot for workout wear, and I wear Striped Bag Strap | Crossbody Bag more often than not. This brand is a new find for me, and comes highly recommended by several friends. They’re a bit thicker than my beloved second-skin leggings, and have a similar brushed texture as Lululemon’s Align leggings. They’re high-waist, seamless, and have great control without constricting. Plus, the patterns are too cute!
This top has a supportive built-in shelf bra and cups, with a racerback shape and longer length.
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a Small top and leggings.
Workout Tank | Leopard Leggings | Comfy Slip-On Sneakers | Heart Necklace (use code CASSIE20 for 20% off today only! See more of my top picks on sale HERE)
Here’s the same leggings, but in a fun camo pattern. These I paired with a cropped top, also with a built-in bra. I prefer this length with the high-waist leggings, and have already worked out in this top! It’s a good one, friends!
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a Small in the top and leggings.
Cropped Workout Tank | High-Waist Camo Leggings | Comfy Slip-On Sneakers | Heart Necklace (use code CASSIE20 for 20% off today only!)
Here’s the top in another color, I’ll definitely be ordering more for pairing with all my high-waisted leggings.
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a Small

Loungewear & PJs //
Oh yeah, let’s get to the good stuff!! I threw this lounge set in the washer the moment after I tried it on, and wore it that night!! I love that it’s cozy and soft, but still cute and looks like I’m kind of ‘dressed.’ It’s a medium weight waffle knit, with pull-on elastic shorts and hoodie top.
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a Small
Another keeper pajama set, this one a quality cotton blend that’s thick and soft. I love the contrasting trim and henley style, plus the pull-on shorts have pockets and a cute ribbon drawstring.
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a Small
Sleeveless Button V-neck Tank Pajama Set | Heart Necklace (use code CASSIE20 for 20% off today only!)
Remember the Juicy tracksuits of the 90s? This set has a similar feel! It’s thick with a silky feel on the inside, and velour on the outfit. The shorts have an elastic waist and pockets.
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a Small
Pink Leopard Crewneck Pajama Set
This set likely wouldn’t last more than a season, but it’s light and soft, with a bunch of cute prints.
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a Small
Short Sleeve Pink Star Pajama Set
Accessories //
Let’s talk accessories, because I found a few! Starting with this darling striped strap in shades of pink and brown, perfect for Fall bags. It’s sturdy with an adjustable length for wearing on your shoulder or crossbody. These are my fave small crossbody bags, but look close to be sure the color you choose has a detachable strap (if you plan on swapping it out).
Remember these sneakers we all went cuckoo over last year? Well, meet her sister!! Just as lightweight, just as comfortable (seriously like walking on clouds), but with laces. It’s still a slip-on style, but for those that prefer the look of laces. I wouldn’t workout in them, but I’d certainly walk all day!
Striped Bag Strap | Crossbody Bag (this is ‘Tan’) | Comfy Slip-On Sneakers (TTS)
I also found this great weekender bag, and promptly packed it for a few days at the lake! It’s super roomie, with a few zippered pockets, and a convenient compartment on the bottom that’s perfect for shoes or toiletries. It’s made of a sturdy canvas, with strong handles and zippers.
Striped Weekender Bag | Hat w/ Chinstrap | Relaxed Tee | Bangle Set (save 15% with code HISUGARPLUM)
