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!

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!

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!

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 Cardigan - Fall Amazon Haul
 

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!

 
Grey Sweater - Fall Amazon Haul
 

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.

 
Teal Off Shoulder Top - Fall Amazon Haul
 

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 Blocked Cardigan - Fall Amazon Haul
 

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 Cardi - Fall Amazon Haul
 

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!

Striped Oversized Sweater

$28 Size L

 
Shein Haul - September @stylebyjulianne
 

OKAY. This sweater is the one item you need from this try-on… if you don’t buy anything else, BUY THIS! I love the look of this sweater, plus it is incredible quality! I should have gotten my regular size, but as you know I always size up with Shein so I am wearing a Large here and it is really big. Comes in a tan stripe option too which is just as cute! Odds are I’ll order that one too for how much I love this sweater!

Tie Front Thermal Top

$18 Size L

 
Shein Try-On Haul - September @stylebyjulianne
 

This top is so fun with the color blocking. It’s not something I would normally reach for but I thought it was a fun change to what I usually reach for! It also comes in a black, white, and grey combo too, if you’re more into neutrals. This top totally reminds me of my favorite Urban Outfitters button down thermals that I have in a bunch of colors. Runs pretty true to size and feels super soft and cozy!

Leopard Print Denim Skirt

Size L $14

 
Shein Try On Fall Haul @stylebyjulianne
 

If you follow me on Instagram you may have noticed my favorite fall outfit. Sweaters and skirts are such a fun way to transition into the cooler months while it’s not too cold to have bare legs! I love a good denim skirt and although the denim doesn’t feel of the utmost quality, I can see myself wearing this all season long with a cozy sweater front tucked in like in the photo above! My sweater is also from Shein last year, and is still available. I’ll link it below!

Striped Sweater & Babydoll Dress

$18 Size L // $8 Size L

 
Shein Fall Try On @stylebyjulianne
 

I thought these last two pieces looked cute together, this dress is only $8 (shook) and comes in a handful of colors. It is slightly sheer so I’ll wear a slip with it when I wear it out of the house. It is such a flattering silhouette with the shape of the seam, it’s dramatically curved which gives a slimming effect, love it!

This sweater is under $20 and super versatile! I know I’ll get a ton of wear out of it for fall. I love it paired with my favorite OTK boots (currently on sale too)!

Thanks for checking out this month’s Shein finds! I really love sharing these try-ons with you all so I’m happy to see that they’ve been such popular posts on SbJ! Let me know what piece was your favorite in the comments below, and as always, thanks for reading!

4 Affordable Event Dress Ideas

The inspiration for this post came from me not knowing what to wear to a baby shower that I’m attending this month. I ordered a bunch of affordable dresses from Shein hoping that one would work out. I had no idea I was going to love each of them so much! I thought it would be fun to share them all in a blog post for those of you who need a few great ideas for dresses to wear to events if you’re like me and also don’t love to spend a pretty penny on a dress you may only wear once!

Use code juliannerobinsonQ3 for 15% off your Shein order!

I am 5’9” and a size Medium across the board, but when it comes to Shein I like to size up. I got a Large in all of these dresses and only one dress (not pictured) didn’t work out length-wise. Otherwise they all fit perfectly!

Beige Pom Pom Dress

I’ve seen this style all over Instagram this summer and I’m glad I finally ordered it! It comes in a darker brown color too but I love how dainty and pretty this warm beige color is. The pom pom details give in just the right amount of interest! It is slightly sheer but I got away with nude colored undergarments with no issue, but you may want to wear a slip with it!

Polka Dot Ruffle Wrap Dress

This dress comes in a bunch of colors but I’ve been on the hunt for more blue pieces to add to my wardrobe! I love polka dots and wrap dresses are universally flattering. I probably could have gotten away with sizing up one more time with this dress for the width, but the length was perfect for me! I wish I had gotten this dress earlier in the summer!

Peach Chiffon Tiered Off Shoulder Dress

This dress is perfect for a wedding shower or guest outfit! I love the layered ruffles and this color is to DIE for gorgeous! It’s hard to see in the photos but there are thin straps that hold the dress up and also make it so the off shoulder part stays down, off your shoulders (hope that makes sense).

Floral Midi Dress

I love this dress, but when I put it on it was kind of like a mumu, I wish it had a tie to go around the waist, but with the belt it is actually my favorite dress from the whole order! Problem solved! This dress looks and feels like a $100 dress and it was UNDER $30. I still can’t believe it! It also has beautiful movement as you can see in the photos.

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.

  1. Tie Dye Off Shoulder Top

 
Tie Dye Shein Off The 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

 
Black Lace Trim Cami Shein
 

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

 
Shein Lace Kimono
 

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

 
Blue Floral Skirt Shein
 

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!

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.”

Target Striped Blazer and Shorts Matching Set
 

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!

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!

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!

Target Spring Try On Haul - Red Plaid Shirt
 

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!

Thank you all for taking the time to read this post! I really appreciate all of your continued support. Leave a comment below on what retailer you’d like to see me try-on next!

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!

 
Nordstrom Animal Print Blouse Style by Julianne

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).

Leopard Print Top Nordstrom Style by Julianne

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.

Pink Tie Top Nordstrom BP
Nordstrom BP Pink Tie Button Top Style by Julianne

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!
