October Shein Favorites

I typically share a Shein haul every month, you can see last month’s here! This time I wanted to do it a little differently and share with you the items I loved on the days I wore them out (real-life, in the moment pictures) and about vs mirror pics where I just threw the item on to snap a pic. I’m not knocking that method, just so you don’t expect to see me not doing that anymore haha! I just felt like trying something new this month!

Click here for September’s Shein Try-On!

If you saw my Instagram stories try-on of these items, I had five in total that I got in this order. I’ll be sharing the three items that fit and worked for me! As you know, retailers like Shein can be tricky when it comes to sizing as their items are a little inconsistent, which is why I like to share these honest reviews and how each item fits on me with my particular sizing etc. I actually wrote a whole blog post about tips and tricks for ordering from retailers like Shein and Amazon. Read that here! If you missed my October Shein try-on that I shared on Instagram stories, it is saved in a highlight on my profile called “Shein!” You’ll also see all of my past Shein try-ons there too.

Snake Print Cami

I’ve been looking for the perfect piece of clothing to introduce snake print into my wardrobe! I have a few shoes in the print but I wanted to bring it up a notch and this cami was the perfect way to do that without going completely over the top. There is a fine line between tacky and chic when it comes to animal print, snake skin being the hardest to style correctly and appropriately in my opinion! This cami is only $6 and is the perfect layer for under a third piece, like I have shown here with my leather jacket. It would also be great tucked into a skirt with a blazer for a more business casual vibe or a denim jacket for a more casual option.

I’m wearing a large in this cami, it runs really small so size up one or even two sizes!

OUTFIT DETAILS: Cami // Moto Jacket // Jeans // Shoes // Hat //

Embroidered Babydoll Dress

I have gotten a few dresses in this style for fall this year, and they are the perfect cut to style with my favorite OTK boots! I wear these boots all the time and sometimes I don’t feel like tucking jeans or leggings into them so this dress was perfect and SO easy. A perfect “throw on and go” outfit! The embroidery detail is amazing and great quality, the material of the dress isn’t plastic-y like some that I’ve gotten from here, but it is definitely what you’d expect from a $17 dress, so keep that in mind!

I sized up way too much in this dress, I got an XL when I’m a normal medium, so I’d say to grab your actual size and you’d be good to go!

OUTFIT DETAILS: Dress // OTK boots // Hat //

Oversized Striped Sweater

Remember how much I loved this sweater when I got it in green last month? You can see how it looks in this post here! I am so obsessed with the fit and feel of this sweater! I’ve said it multiple times that this piece is the sweater of the season! I still believe it to be true! It is massive so I got my true size medium since I still like an oversized fit. The sleeves are really wide and baggy but look cute rolled up! It’s only $17 so I’m going to continue ordering each color as they come in lol!

OUTFIT DETAILS: Sweater // Jeans //Shoes // Hat // Bag

Here’s everything I shared in this post:

Fall Amazon Try-On Haul

You guys are still going crazy over my last Amazon haul that I shared on here in Spring! This white sweater has been a consisted top seller basically since I shared that post, which is great because it is one of my favorites too! Now that it’s cooling down I’m getting even more wear out of it.

Amazon Spring Try-On Haul

I shared this most recent try on in my Instagram stories (saved to the highlight named “Amazon”) a couple weeks ago, but I figured it would be a good idea to put it up on the blog as well, since I want you all to be able to reference everything that I share and love in one place! This try-on was much smaller than my Spring one, but I’ve been trying to balance my budget between shopping for clothes and remodeling our kitchen/home decor stuff. Call me naive, but I underestimated the amount of “stuff” I would need that I didn’t need as an apartment dweller, I can’t just call my concierge to come and replace my light bulb, and let’s not even talk about how much I’ve bought to maintain our yard. Yikes!

ANYWHO - the thing I love about this fall haul is that I really put a lot of thought into each piece before I pulled the trigger. It is definitely less items but I love each piece so much and have been wearing them so much over the past month! I know they will be great all season long. Plus, this gives me room to do a couple more small-ish Amazon hauls before fall is over, right?! ;)

Cream Fringe Sweater

This sweater is so boho, it gives off a major Free People vibe for a fraction of the cost! I shared more photos and details about it in this post here, but overall I’d say get your true size or size up if you have broad shoulders like me! The sleeves are a tad short, but nothing I can’t work with!

Bell Sleeve Sweater

I had such high hopes for this sweater and I’ve continued to try to make it work because the quality of this piece is just beyond amazing! It is so thick and soft, the silhouette is interesting too and overall, I am just way too broad to fit this. I even sized up and the sleeves are way too short. If you are petite, this would be a great option for you! The sleeves bell out at the ends and it is perfect for fall.

Off Shoulder Polka Dot Top

I’m going to buy this top in every color. I love it SO much! Not only does it have such great details, it is affordable and comfortable, and comes in a bunch of other colors! See more details and photos in this blog post here. The one thing I didn’t realize when I bought it was that the back is sheer, but the front is lined and opaque so I can get away with no bra, but if you want to wear one, make sure it’s something that you don’t mind people seeing through the back of the shirt!

Color Block Cardigan

This sweater is so fun and looks like a Madewell brand cardigan I’ve had my eye on for some time! It fits a little small through the body so I suggest sizing up. I’m wearing a medium here and I wish I had gotten a large, although the sleeves are plenty long!

Leopard Cardigan

This cardigan is definitely one of my favorite Amazon fashion finds EVER! The quality is amazing, reminds me of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale leopard cardi that sold out super fast! It’s thick and cozy and I love that it’s a little different than regular brown leopard print. The black and white pattern is so chic! Get your true size, runs a tiny bit big!

Thanks for checking out this Fall Amazon haul! I have lot’s of items in my cart ready to go for my next try-on sesh, make sure you’re following along on Instagram so you never miss an update!

Shein Try-On: Summer Outfits!

Use my discount code for 15% off your order at Shein: juliannerobinsonQ3

I have been ordering more and more from Shein these days so I thought it could be fun to start a new series on here with my monthly hauls! I can review each item with sizing, and pricing info so you can confidently shop. If you are curious about what Shein is about, or want tips and tricks for ordering from this huge online retailer, click HERE to read my post detailing FAQ about quality, shipping time, and tons of suggestions for how to make the best of your shopping experience at Shein.

Tips and Tricks for Shopping at Shein!

For this order, I wanted to be sure I got some great pieces that I could wear on my trip to Louisiana at the end of the month. It’s super hot there and I don’t have a lot of “summer” clothes since I live in Oregon, so I stocked up on some items that I’d be comfortable wearing traveling and in the heat of the South.

*This post contains affiliate links that I may earn a small commission from, I appreciate you using my links to shop!*

1. Tie Dye Off Shoulder Top

This top is so fun! I got a medium (my true size), it didn’t have many reviews but I assumed it would run a little big since it’s boxy and flowy. I was correct! A medium fit me so perfectly. Shein sizing can be tricky but I tend to order up in size unless I feel an item will be oversized like this one. I LOVE this top! It is amazing quality and was only $16!

2. Lace Trimmed Cami

This top is a great dupe for the lace cami that is always on sale during the Nordstrom Anniversary sale. It sold out super fast this year as it does every year, this cami is a fraction of the cost coming in at $12. Qualirty is comparable to the Nordstrom one as well, this one actually has a little stretch to the fabric which I love! It comes in red too, I sized up to a large.

3. Lace Duster

This duster is my favorite piece from the whole order! I’ve been on the hunt for a lace kimono/duster like this for a while and I ordered this one with my fingers crossed. It is perfect! Comes in at a great length that I could easily wear with a pair of shorts, or even a dress. It comes in one size but fits like a true medium. I’m pretty broad too, so if you’re a large you’d probably be fine with this piece too! It costs a whopping $19 (LOL).

4. Floral Ruffle Skirt

This skirt is so cute and fun, and only $9! Like I said above, I normally try to size up when shopping at Shein, but for some reason I got my true size medium with this skirt and it is clearly too small. I still love it though! This style of skirt has been really popular this summer, I love the girliness of the style paired with a cool graphic tee, it really makes for a fun outfit.

Thanks for tuning in for this first post in my Shein Try-On series! I’m so excited for next month’s haul - get ready for all things fall! Woohoooo!

Spring Athleisure Try-On With 32 Degrees!

One of my favorite affordable athletic wear and casual clothing brands, 32 Degrees generously gifted me some items to share with you all in this post. I hand selected each piece and all opinions are my own, this blog post is not sponsored! I’ve worn them for a few years and I remember being super skeptical because the prices are seriously SO GOOD, I figured the quality couldn’t be great, but I was seriously mistaken and the brand has since then taken a first place spot as my go-to destination for athleisure and fitness clothing! Their T-shirts are seriously the best fit and feel, not to mention price, that I’ve ever found! If you missed my Instagram try-on session, it’s saved in the highlight “32 Degrees” on my home page here!

OUTFIT DETAILS: // BRALETTE // JACKET // LEGGINGS //

OUTFIT DETAILS: // T-SHIRT (comes in other colors too) // JACKET // JOGGERS // SHOES //

Target Spring Try-On Haul!

Holy smokes you GUYS. I had no idea how much of a hit my Amazon haul would be and I am so excited because it was one of the most fun posts to make! Now I want to do all of the try-ons for you guys! I asked on Instagram what retailer you’d like to see me share next and I got a ton of “Target,” so I figured I’d start right there! Let me know in the comments what store you’d like to see a try-on for next. For sizing reference I am 5’9” tall and am a true size Medium!

I also shared this entire try-on on my Instagram stories, saved to the highlight named “Target.”

Outfit Above: // Hat // Earrings // Necklace // Bag // Top (old, sorry) // Blazer // Shorts // Shoes

I’ve seen this set on a couple other bloggers and I had to have it! Not only is it adorable paired together, there is endless versatility in mixing and matching the pieces with other items in your closet. I love this blazer over a floral dress or paired with jeans and a t-shirt. Both pieces are sold separately and made of part linen and part rayon so they are breezy and breathable yet the rayon allows them to be comfortable on the skin. Linen is known for being a little scratchy but this set is not one bit scratchy! I am wearing a size 8 in the blazer and a medium in the shorts. I’d say they both run true to size!

Outfit Above: // Hat // Earrings // Necklace // Bag // Jumpsuit // Shoes (Target dupe) // Shoes (actual) //

Can we talk about how perfect this jumpsuit is?! I can see this at a wedding, baby shower, birthday party, basically anything Spring related! It is also a great workwear piece. Pair it with a blazer and you’re good to go! The material is slightly stretchy which was unexpected but amazing, I’d say get your true size or even size down. The flowy material is super forgiving, even after a big brunch!

Outfit Above: // Hat // Earrings // Necklace // Bag // Dress // Shoes (Target dupe) // Shoes (actual) //

I can totally see this dress being one of my Spring and Summer staples! It is so comfy and soft, a great length for tall or short gals (the hem swoops down in front and back, so cute), and it is also suuuuper affordable! Runs TTS (I got a Medium).

Outfit Above: // Hat // Earrings // Necklace // Bag // Top // Jeans // Shoes //

These under $30 jeans are the EXACT dupe for my favorite Madewell jeans that I wear all the time (I have them in black AND white). The only difference is the color is slightly less stark white, more of a cream and the PRICE is significantly lower, we’re talking hundreds of dollars lower! I have a feeling these will go fast so grab you'r size before they’re gone! They are super soft and stretchy but very tight. I got my true size and they fit perfectly! I love that they are slightly cropped with the raw cut hem, so fun! The button fly is a great added detail too!

Speaking of detail… this top! If you’re a long time follower you know I am a fan of basics with flair! I love a good plain tee but it needs to have something interesting like this knot detail! It makes this basic item so much more than just a basic and adds so much interest to an otherwise boring piece! Comes in blush and white too, I love it so much I already ordered the other colors too!

Outfit Above: // Hat // Earrings // Necklace // Bag // Top // Jeans // Shoes //

If I were to design my perfect pair of jeans, these would be them! This is the one MUST HAVE from this haul… if you only buy one thing, have it be this pair of jeans! I LOVE a good dark wash skinny jean, these tick every single box for me! The length is perfect, they come in short, regular and long for every height (I got a regular length in my true size). They’re stretchy and high waisted so they suck everything in! Dark wash jeans are always super flattering and go with EVERYTHING. I am a total jeans girl and I can’t live without a pair of jeans like this in my wardrobe!

This top is so fun, I wish I had it for when I was at the tulip field this year! It is giving me some major country vibes but I can totally see this as a perfect top for Memorial weekend or the 4th of July! It hits right at the top of my jeans, might be slightly less cropped on you if you are shorter. I got my true size Medium and it fits perfect!

Amazon Spring Try-On Haul!

Amazon has been my favorite place to shop for clothes recently! The prices are great, and with Prime I can get my items in 2 days with free shipping and returns! I’ve been sharing a ton of cute Amazon pieces in my daily faves on my Instagram and the most common questions I get are about fit and sizing since Amazon can be hit and miss as it is such a huge online store filled with so many different brands and pieces. I figured I’d go on the hunt and find some great Spring items that I could put to the test for you all and share how they look, fit, feel, and all of the other details you might be interested in knowing before you place your order on Amazon. I also have a page for my Amazon finds here on the blog! It is a permanent page that I constantly add pieces too, items I own and items I have my eye on! For reference I am 5’9” tall and am a true size Medium!

I also shared this entire try-on on my Instagram stories, saved to the highlight named “Amazon".”

OUTFIT ABOVE: Hat // Dress // Shoes // Bracelet // Bag //

THIS DRESS: runs TTS, has an added slip in the skirt portion and elastic around the waist which adds extra comfort! The tie is removable, could be a cute hair or bag accessory. Comes in a handful of other cute colors, so fun for Easter or brunch with the girls! I’m wearing a size Medium.

MY BAG: Perfectly inspired by the Cult Gaia brand bamboo bag! I love this cute thing so much! It is super structured and doesn’t fit a ton, but it’s great for lunch with the girls or a fun Spring or Summer event! I always get so many compliments on it when I bring it out, such a statement piece!

THESE SHOES: great dupes for the Steve Madden “Greece” sandal, such an amazing price point, I wore these babies OUT last summer and it’s time to stock up on more colors for this year. I’m thinking I’ll purchase the white ones next! Obsessed!

THE HAT: This hat is adorable and just gives me all the country, garden-y vibes. It is super wide-brimmed and is such a fun statement at an amazing price point!

THAT BRACELET: looks just like David Yurman, but affordable! I love this bracelet and I plan to buy other styles from the same seller to create a fun arm party!

OUTFIT ABOVE: Hat// Dress // Bag // Bracelet // Shoes (not Amazon)

THIS DRESS: my new favorite dress! I’ve already worn it more than a handful of times since I got it in. It runs TTS if not a tiny bit big. I only sized up for the extra length because I’m 5’9! I’m wearing a Large here but if I was shorter I totally could have work a Medium or even a Small. There is a ton of extra material in the middle section, The ruffles are so fun, and you know I love me some polka dots!

THAT HAT: kinda like Rag & Bone but sooo much better because you don’t have to drop your entire paycheck for this one! I love this hat for year-round! Comes in a ton of colors too.

MY BAG: I love a good, round bag for summer! This one is so fun and looks designer. I’ve had it since last summer, it came in with an interesting smoky smell that wore off over time. I Love this bag for Spring!

OUTFIT ABOVE: Hat // Earrings // Sweater // Shorts // Shoes (not Amazon)

THESE SHORTS: YOU GUYS. I am in love! They have a stretchy, elastic paper bag waist with an attached tie. Run a little bit small but they are so dang cute and comfy! I sized up to a Large and they fit perfectly.

THIS SWEATER: My sweater runs really large, I would size down unless you like your sweaters really oversized and slouchy (I love it oversized, I kept my true size here).

THOSE EARRINGS: These earrings are so fun! They make me want to go on a tropical vacation… giving me total Baublebar vibes but for a fraction of the cost. Love!

MY HAT: My new favorite hat! I promise you this will be my go-to this Spring and Summer! I already can’t get enough of it. Reminds me of Eric Javits, but much more affordable. It goes with every outfit, casual or dressy!

OUTFIT ABOVE: Hat // Sweater // Skirt // Bag // Shoes (Not Amazon) //

THIS SKIRT: I am BLOWN. AWAY. by the quality of this skirt! Absolute perfection and super affordable, I 100% thought this skirt would be a return but I took a chance on it and I’m so glad I did! I got my true size, there are other patterned options to choose from. Definitely going back for one of the floral ones too! Such a perfect piece for spring and summer!

THE BAG: I’ve had this bag since last summer and it is not only my most reached for bag in the Spring and Summer, but most affordable bag I own! I want to buy one for everyone I know. It goes with everything, so versatile and cute!

All other outfit details described in previous outfit!

OUTFIT ABOVE: Jumpsuit // Bag // Hair Clip // Shoes (Not Amazon)

MY JUMPSUIT: I honestly CAN’T EVEN with how comfortable this jumpsuit is! The material is stretchy, which was such an unexpected but good surprise! I feel like this piece looks so much more expensive than it is. The sizing is a little strange for me… I have a long torso so even though I sized up it is still a little short on me, but not to the point that I can’t wear it. I probably could have even sized up one more! Keep this in mind if you’re tall like me. If you’re shorter or more petite sizing is probably more true for you!

THESE BARRETTES: An Absolute must have for Spring! These little accessories have come back from the 90’s with a vengeance and I couldn’t be more excited! I love that they are super versatile and classic, yet make such a statement for a small accessory!

THIS HANDBAG: Another amazing find! This bag looks just like it’s designer counterpart that is super expensive. I found this beauty by accident and am so excited to share it with you all! The insert and handles are an embossed croc pattern, and the insert is removable! I love a piece that can be worn different ways and I know I’ll be reaching for this bag all season long!

A Spring Haul and Try-On With Nordstrom!

I went to Nordstrom recently and stocked up on some cute goodies for Spring the other day, I was in desperate need of tops and I also was looking to add some color and variety into my very neutral, very basics-heavy wardrobe. There were so many fun pieces to choose from in their trend shop and I’m so excited to share how they look, fit, and their prices with you! Can you tell I’m loving a good wrap blouse these days? I can’t resist, they’re just so comfortable and flattering!

Bag $42

This bag was the first item I picked up. If you know me well, you know I love a fun statement piece and what better way to make a statement than with your handbag? This one is vegan leather, under $50 and has a cross-body strap so you can wear it hands free! The canvas insert is removable if you want to change up the look of the bag (might lose a lipgloss or two through those holes though lol).

Top $49

Every time I see a good leopard print piece I have to give it a chance! This top has so many elements that I LOVE. It has a draped or wrap-front, with a collar and buttons. Yes to ALL OF THIS! Plus the print is good, sometimes leopard print can look tacky or overdone and I could totally see this worn in an office setting with trousers like these or even a pencil skirt. so cute! I normally would have gotten a large in a top like this but medium was all that was available in my store, although the sleeves are a touch short on me it still fits well everywhere else, so if you aren’t super broad shouldered (like I am), I’d stick with your regular size. The material is polyester and a tiny bit of spandex but it really doesn’t have much stretch at all.

Top $29

This top was tricky to photograph but it is my favorite piece that I picked up! It comes in four colors and is affordable, comfortable, versatile and best of all, cute! It is longer in the back than most other tops of it’s style so you can feel secure wearing it with leggings. I tied mine tighter than they had it in the store, but you can loosen up the knot for a more slouchy feel. If you’re between sizes definitely size down, I got a medium which is my true size and it fits well when I tighten the knot, but I could have gotten away with a small if necessary. It is the softest material too… it is part polyester but the magic ingredient is the viscose that gives the fabric a soft and stretchy feel!

Top $49

Another wrap top! This one is so different to me, but I was drawn to the color and although I don’t have a ton of polka dot pieces I’m obsessed with them! This top is SO flattering with the tie being right at the small part of your waist. It is cropped so unless you like to show some skin, high waisted jeans like these pictured are necessary. You can see that the sleeves are a tiny bit short on me, and I’m sure it’s because I am so broad shouldered and long-armed. I sized up to a large for arm length and torso length but it is a tiny bit baggy through the middle (I just tied it tighter, and it looks just fine). I’d say shoot for your true size unless you are super long like I am! The fabric is rayon and has zero stretch, but it is flowy enough that there is plenty room to move!

I am still waiting on my red tank top and my tan sandals to arrive in the mail but I will certainly update this post when they come in!

Thanks for reading!
