Happy Friday, friends, and cheers to the weekend! My sister and darling nephew are in town, so we’re headed to the lake after school to see them. I can hardly wait to squeeze his little cheeks!
My sister is a daredevil and former gymnast, so I’m sure she’ll spend the weekend making me nervous on the top deck of the dock. I’ve yet to even jump off, and I guarantee she’ll have a bag of tricks.
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 almost 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!
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 and 26 jeans. My fit tips and sizing recommendations are included with each description.
Skirts //
I don’t usually start with this category, but considering they’re some of my favorite finds this month, it felt right. If you follow me on Instagram, then you’ve seen this outfit because I’ve already worn it! I loved it so much I threw it in the washer same day. The tank is a great basic in a flattering racerback shape, and great weight for no see-thru.
I love maxi skirts Spring through Fall, but especially in transitional weather, and this one couldn’t be any cuter! It’s soft and flowy, with an easy, pull-on fit. It comes in a range of colors and patterns, and even has pockets!
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a Small tank, and small skirt… but don’t size up in the skirt.
Maxi Skirt | Racerback Tank | Strappy Sandals | Layered Pendant Necklace | Gold Bead Bracelets | Jean Jacket
You’ve seen this skirt before, I’ve worn it for years with tanks and tees, and even over swimsuits, and I love this black and white for moving into Fall. I paired it with the same racerback tank in black, which I know I’ll be wearing on repeat!
Fit Tip: size Small tank, size Small skirt
Mini Skirt (Color: A black white print) | Racerback Tank | Slide Sandals | Layered Pendant Necklace | Gold Bead Bracelets | Color Tile Bracelets | Jean Jacket
I was instantly smitten with the colors of this midi skirt!! All my favorites, plus some great Fall colors mixed in! It’s an easy, pull-on style with an elastic waist and mini pleats. It has a bit of a sheen that dresses it up, but you could wear it casual, too. It comes in a ton of fun colors and patterns for so many occasions!
Fit Tip: size Small tank, and a size Small skirt, but don’t size up in the skirt.
Pleated Skirt (Color: color block) | Racerback Tank | Block Heels | Layered Pendant Necklace | Gold Bead Bracelets
Shirts & Tops //
Moving on to tops, this shirt is a cotton and rayon blend that makes it light and airy, with a bit of a relaxed, dressy feel. I love the flap pockets and contrasting stripes, and would wear it open, buttoned, or tied with everything from jeans to trousers to skirts.
Fit Tip: size Small tank (but would prefer a size down), size Small button down
Striped Button Down | Henley Tank | Cropped Mom Jeans | Chain Mules | Layered Pendant Necklace | Gold Bead Bracelets
Texas stays warm well past when the calendar says it should, so my formula is to transition to jeans, but keep the top light. This is a fun and flirty top for shorts now and denim later! It’s a comfortable smocking across the top and shoulders, with an easy peplum hem. It comes in lots of great colors, too.
Fit Tip: I sized up to a medium based on reviews, and for a flowier fit.

Tanks & Tees //
This one takes a great ribbed basic tank, but makes it a henley for more style! It’s nice and thick for no sheerness, with lots of stretch. I’d love to unsnap a few for a little sass, but need a size smaller for that! (I love my bra, but don’t think anyone wants to see it, ha!) Even so, it’s a keeper for me!
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a small, but would prefer my usual XS
Henley Tank | Raw Hem Jeans | Slide Sandals | Layered Pendant Necklace | Gold Bead Bracelets
You saw these racerback tanks styled with skirts already, but I’ll be wearing them non-stop with jeans, too. So flattering, and the perfect amount of effortless style.
Fit Tip: size Small
Racerback Tank | Raw Hem Jeans| Slide Sandals | Chain Mules | Layered Pendant Necklace | Gold Bead Bracelets
I’m wearing this tee as we speak! It’s super soft with a relaxed fit and longer length. The v-neck is modest, and the tulip sleeves elevate it beyond a basic tee. But good luck choosing a color!
Fit Tip: size Small tee for a relaxed fit
V-Neck Tee (Color: Grey-green) | White Jeans | Miller Sandals | Layered Pendant Necklace | Gold Bead Bracelets
How could I resist a Howdy tee? Especially a pink one!? This is so fun with denim or jeans, and especially cute with a little short skirt for concerts, etc. It comes in both a Men’s and Women’s fit, with the feminine fit being a smooth, stretchy blend with a fitted shape.
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a Women’s Small, but would also like the more-relaxed fit of a men’s small

Sweaters //
I’m always sad to see summer go, until I put on my first cardigan…. then I’m excited for all things fall! This cardigan has a great circle shape and length, in a loose weave for early fall. The colors are great, and it even has pockets!
Fit Tip: size Small cardigan
Waffle Knit Cardigan (Color: khaki) | Henley Tank | White Jeans | Chain Mules | Layered Pendant Necklace | Gold Bead Bracelets
Work & Special Occasion Dresses //
Okay, I know some of you are headed back to the office, so let’s make it stylish! This would have been a go-to dress for me when I was working corporate… super chic, but comfy and so easy to wear. It’s a thick crepe material, made incredibly well. Wear it open, or belted, and it comes in a range of colors.
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size 2, but would size down if in-between.
Tie Waist Dress | Pumps | Layered Pendant Necklace
Speaking of easy and comfy, they don’t come any chicer than this one! Made of a soft and stretchy thick jersey knit, it has a faux wrap and twisted shape that literally carves out an hourglass shape! Add a blazer for the office, or bold jewels for evening, it’s incredibly flattering and versatile.
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size 2
How’s this dress for fun and flirty?! I love the halter neckline with tie in the back, and it comes in a range of fun colors and patterns. The waist is elastic with an optional tie, and fully-lined for no sheerness. Dress it up or keep it casual.
Fit Tip: size Small
Halter Dress | Block Heels | Miller Sandals | Gold Bead Bracelets
If you’ve got a fall wedding or cocktail event, this halter is a great, affordable option! So chic on, with just enough skin. (I wear it with this bra.)
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Small
Overlay Midi Dress | Block Heels | Gold Bead Bracelets
Everyday Dresses //
Just like maxi skirts, I love maxi dresses Spring thru Fall. They keep my legs covered, and the simple addition of a jean jacket makes them ready for fall. I chose a darker color in this smocked top dress with adjustable straps for easier transitioning. The side slit gives it a touch of sass, too.
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Small
Square Neck Midi Dress | Slide Sandals | Jean Jacket | Longer Pendant Necklace | Gold Bead Bracelets
The moment I tried on this dress, I popped online to order another color! Such an easy, forgiving shape, with flirty sleeves and great length. It’s made of a textured material that’s a great weight, and it comes in so many fun colors.
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size XS
Tiered V-Neck Dress | Miller Sandals | Layered Pendant Necklace | Gold Bead Bracelets
Another maxi dress, this one with a strapless smocked top. I love it paired with the jean jacket, and the colors and prints are especially perfect for early Fall. It’s soft and flowy, and a great length for flats.
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Small
Strapless Dress | Slide Sandals | Jean Jacket | Longer Pendant Necklace | Gold Bead Bracelets
Similar style to the pink dress, this one has longer sleeves and would be so cute with booties, too. It’s super lightweight, with a little sheerness, but not enough to show your undies through. Wear it open at the neck or tied, and the sleeves long or pushed up.
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Small, but wouldn’t recommend sizing up
Tie Neck Dress (Color: 4093-khaki) | Slide Sandals | Gold Bead Bracelets
Again with the maxi dresses, I know, but I’m a sucker for their ease! They’re a great way to get me out of loungewear when I’m home all day, but I’m just as comfy! And of course they’re so cute out and about. This one has a smocked torso with sweet puffed sleeves.
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Small
Smocked Maxi Dress | Strappy Sandals | Gold Bead Bracelets
Workout Wear //
I’ve been on the hunt for an affordable workout skort for ages, and finally found one I love! Most are too long on me, which looks a little matronly… but this one is a similar length as most of my running shorts. It’s got built-in biker shorts with pockets, a zippered pocket on the back, and the cutest pleats. It’s also high waisted with a smooth waistband for pairing with cropped tops and tanks.
The cropped tank is a go-to, with a built-in shelf bra, removable pads, and adjustable straps.
Fit Tip: size XS skort and small tank
Cropped Tank | Skort (Color: A-white) | Swift Run Sneakers
Accessories //
As for accessories, I was super impressed with this crossbody! Incredible high-end style, in a quality faux-leather. Definitely designer look for less!
Woven Crossbody Bag (Color: A beige) | Tiered V-Neck Dress | Miller Sandals | Layered Pendant Necklace | Gold Bead Bracelets
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?!

The tie waist dress is so classic/classy. It could go anywhere.
I need to check out the tie neck dress after I say this:
