    Things I Love – #27

    Here are a few spring purchase that I’m loving. (Click on the photos for more information or to shop.)

    Old Navy t-shirt dress. I read that the maxi dress was REALLY long, so I ordered the midi dress in a tall and a regular length and I liked them so much, I kept both. I’m 5’3″ and the regular length is mid-calf and the tall length is a few inches above my ankle. If you’re tall, look for the Maxi version of this dress.

    Banana Republic Duster Cardigan. I wore this over the Old Navy t-shirt dress (above) to the office yesterday.

    I also own this Camel colored long cardigan which is a little lighter than the Banana Republic Duster above. It also comes in black and heather gray.

    Old Navy tie die tunic sweatshirt. This comes in multiple colors. I liked the one below so much, I ordered a second color.

    Lululemon align leggings. These are my favorite leggings and I have all of the lengths, with and without pockets, in several colors.

    I’m always ordering hooded sweatshirts from H&M. They’re typically $19.99 or $24.99.

    Superga slides. I wore these into the ground last summer so I ordered a fresh pair this spring. You may need to size up 1/2 size so your heel is completely inside the shoe. I spray them with two coats of canvas protector and they clean up nicely with a Chlorox wipe.

    Superga COTU

    Mala and Mantra Birthstone Necklace. I saw this necklace at a spa in Mexico and I loved it so much, I ordered it online before we left Mexico. I will say the photo doesn’t do the stones justice, each garnet is faceted and they shimmer in the light. There are many necklace and bracelet options on this website that would make great Mother’s Day gifts. Use code Welcome20 for a 20% discount.

    Things I Love – #25

    I’m doing a quick favorite things post today because I received a few new items in the mail that I want to share before they are sold out. (Click on photos or blue words below for more details or to order.)

    This ASOS Design longline trench coat in stone is very high quality and it’s only $79. It’s fully lined, with pockets and nice buttons. This feels like a much more expensive trench coat. It does run large though so size down. I just ordered one size smaller and hopefully that’s small enough.

    This ASOS Design ribbed oversized t-shirt dress in stone is really soft, cute and only $36.00. I love the neckline. This color can sometimes wash me out, but this particular shade is great with my skin tone. It does run large so size down one size; or two, if you prefer a less oversized look.

    I love Havaianas flip flops for the beach and pool. We are going to Mexico in late March so I’m stocking up on a few beach basics. Yes, I bought all three pairs, but they will last me through the summer.

    This Free People Maiya Sweater Set is slouchy and comfy. I bought it in oatmeal and I’m thinking about buying it in black. This set runs large so size down one size.

    This Banana Republic ribbed maxi sweater dress is selling out, but I now own it in black and camel. I’m wearing theses dresses with a Moto boot and cardigan now, but I’ll definitely be wearing them in the spring with a pair of sneakers or sandals.

    I wore this Banana Republic open cardigan in navy over the camel maxi dress above.

    This market tote from Society Social just makes me smile.

    Things I Love – #15

    Below are some of my favorite clothing items on Amazon and a few new items that caught my eye. Click on the photos below or the blue text for a link to each item.

    Long Sleeve Tunic Dress

    Dresses are one of my favorite things to wear because it’s a fast and easy way to look pulled together. This long sleeve tunic dress is lined, has pockets and it comes in a variety of colors. I have the red one.

    Short Sleeve Tunic Dress

    The same dress as above except with a cute ruffle short sleeve. I have the black one.

    Maxi Tank Dress

    Every closet should have a long tank dress. You can dress this up or down and add layers underneath or on top. I love throwing on an oversized cardigan or denim jacket with sneakers for running errands. Switch out your shoes, add some fun jewelry and you’re ready to go out for dinner.

    Tank Swing Dress

    If maxi dresses aren’t your thing, here’s a short tank dress that is just as flexible.

    T-shirt dress

    If you’d prefer to cover your arms, here’s a great t-shirt dress that comes in a variety of colors.

    V-Neck Tunic Dress

    This is a super cute dress to throw on as a cover-up or to wear running errands with a pair of flip flops.

    BB Dakota

    This BB Dakota dress would make a great date night or even wedding guest dress.

    Round Rattan Handbag

    Every time I use this rattan bag I get at least one compliment from a stranger. You can fit a small wallet, a cell phone, hand sanitizer and a baggie with a face mask inside. Perfect for a day of errands.

    Assorted scarves

    I use this assortment of twenty different scarves to tie on my handbags. I love to find a scarf that ties my handbag and outfit together and this assortment covers every color combination.

    Champion V-Neck Tee

    This Champion V-Neck is a great workout shirt and it’s available in a variety of colors. I have the blue one.

    Under Armor Capris

    These Under Armour leggings are super light for summer workouts.

    Cotton Nightgown

    I bought several of these cotton nightgowns in different colors. They are really comfortable and long enough to wear around the house.

    I’ll post an Amazon favorites list with household items soon. What are some of your favorite Amazon clothing finds?
