Recent Purchases 13

I've been really needing some new clothes and have had such a hard time finding anything lately! This is really all I have bought in the last 6 or so months (or at least all I've kept. I've bought other stuff and returned it because I didn't like it.) 

I feel like the styles are just so ugly lately. Although Target seems to be getting some cute stuff in for spring. Spring is usually when I tend to find the clothing I like the most just because I like more of the colors and prints associated with spring time. 
1. Under Armour Women's Shorts in Black/White: I really like these shorts and wear them all the time! I need to order them in some more colors. It's so hard to find athletic shorts that aren't super short. I like something in the mid-thigh area so the 5" length is perfect. The material is nice. It's a bit heavier than most athletic shorts and has a bit of stretch to it. And these have decent sized pockets.

2. White T-Shirt Bodysuit and Black T-Shirt Bodysuit: I've been trying to find some bodysuits to wear with skirts and have had a hard time finding any that fit right. I don't like the ones that feel like swimsuit material and a lot of others are really thin and see through. These have a nicer, slightly heavier material so the white specifically isn't too see through. They fit nice and they're looser fitting so they aren't skin tight like a lot of others.

3. Women's V Neck Ruffle Floral Wrap Maxi Dress in A1-blue: This dress is really pretty although I'm not a huge fan of the material. It just feels kinda cheap. I did get it on sale so it's not a huge deal. That said I like how it fits. It's flowy, adjustable, and super flattering. It comes in a bunch of different colors, fabrics, and styles. I would definitely buy this again in a different style/color. If you're between sizes I'd definitely recommend ordering your larger size (that's what I did) especially with wrap dress you want to make sure you have enough dress to wrap around and tie!

4. Acorn Lightweight Bristol Loafer in Navy/Blue: I got these for my birthday and I really like them! I was looking for something to wear around the house that would be comfortable for when I'm standing for long periods of time cooking. Pretty much every pair of slippers I've looked at are of the really warm and fuzzy variety and since I live in South Carolina I really didn't want something that is going to make my feet hot! I like that these look more like a shoe and are great for all seasons. The sizing is weird on these and they were a little big but I got some insoles that helped to make them more comfortable which made them fit just fine.

5. OFFLINE By Aerie Goals High Waisted Legging in True Black: I like these leggings pretty well. The waistband does roll down which is annoying (if I go a size up they're too big. I think it's just the silky material). But besides that I like the look and feel of these. I got these on sale for half off. Definitely would not pay full price for them.

6. Under Armour Vanish Jogger in Black/White: These joggers are nice although I don't love the fit. They're kind of baggy in the hips and thighs (you can tell just from the picture) but they're fitted from about the knees down so if I sized down I think they'd be too small. It's not a big deal though. I just like them for wearing around the house. They have a functioning drawstring waist (it's surprising how many pants have a drawstring that doesn't work!) and decent sized pockets. Like, I can actually put my phone in my pocket. Which is a huge plus for women's pants!

7. Midi A-Line Slip Skirt in Black/White: This skirt it so cute! I was really surprised at how well it fit too! Sometimes this style of skirt is really unforgiving and clingy in all the wrong places but it's actually really flattering. Definitely recommend! It has an elastic waist, the slit isn't too high so it looks cute on the side and also off center at the front, and the heart print is just really cute!

8. Daily Ritual Standard-Fit Short-Sleeve Crewneck Tunic in Deep Green and Deep Blue: I really like these and have this tunic in three other colors besides the two listed here. This is the only tunic length t shirt I've been able to find that is actually long enough to wear with leggings.

  1. My husband gives me so much grief because I tend to return 95% of the things I order lately. The styles just don't fit like I think they will when I get them in person.

  2. I think I have a variation on those Under Armour shorts! The waistband with the logo is pretty similar. And those dresses and skirts are cute! I can't tell you the last time I wore a dress; everything went out the window with Covid, haha. Most of my leggings are from Aerie, and that silky material has kind of come back to bite me now that it's a magnet for cat hair! 😩

  3. Yes! It's so frustrating! I am just not impressed with a lot of the styles right now either.

  4. They are pretty nice shorts! And I've started to really embrace wearing dresses lately! I have had such a hard time finding separates (why are all the tops cropped!?) so I figured dresses are just one thing lol. So basically my style is just dresses or athleisure!
