8 Amazon Finds from August 2024
Amazon Fashion and Beauty Finds from August 2024
Summer has just about ended but my love of Amazon products has not! This time of year I found myself ordering the prettiest transitional fall pieces as well as some beauty and lifestyle items to round out my everyday life. As a budget conscious girl myself, there is really nothing better than saving a few dollars on Amazon. Whether you are looking for workwear for the office or shape wear that will make you feel your best, Amazon has it all! Oh, and if you are a midsize girl wearing sizes 10-12, these outfits are all pre-approved for you.
Amazon Fashion Finds
Pink Blazer
Starting off strong this month we have this punchy pink blazer. I love the bright color for meetings and television appearances. I will be on TV again in a few weeks and I will certainly be wearing this piece for the occasion. There is something to a hot pink blazer that I just love! It adds a great personality to any look and it helps me feel more confident because it is so bright. There is a theory in fashion called dopamine dressing which is wearing bold colors to increase your overall dopamine. I’ve noticed when I do not wear all black and instead put on pieces like this blazer I do in fact feel better and I’m more positive overall!
Barrel jeans
As a lifelong fashion girl, I have always enjoyed playing around with trends and trying them out alongside my personal style. I think the truest fashionistas are the girls that are able to adapt trends to their personal style and in the past few months I have been on a personal style journey. As I continue to figure out what I like in my late 20s, I have noticed myself becoming increasingly choosy with what trends I play with which has looked like ignoring things like micro mini skirts but I am absolutely loving barrel jeans! I got this dark wash pair from Amazon and they are SO COOL! For trends, you can find me saving which means trying most of them on Amazon where the price point isn’t as steep.
I am actually pleasantly surprised with the quality and fit of these particular jeans! I got a size up thinking they would run small but they are actually pretty loose on me. I vacillate between wearing them super high waisted with a belt and more low rise without a belt. Jeans that can give two looks in one are my favorite and they are ridiculously comfortable which is ideal for fall.
Strapless thong Shaping bodysuit
One of my favorite items to purchase on Amazon is shape wear. They have so many styles from ultra shaping bodysuits to this strapless option. Coming with clear and black straps, this bodysuit works just as well underneath a formal dress as it does on its own with a loose pair of jeans. It’s shaping without feeling constricting which is just the best combination. I like the firm material that still breaths with you as you move around in it. For fall in particular it’s going to be adorable under blazers and cardigans for nights out or the office depending on your culture!
Pro Tip: consider the black color for fall and winter. I think it’s a great base layer for the knits we are seeing this year. I am also loving the square neckline this piece provides. It’ll be great for necklaces and playing around with different cardigans and outerwear. Remember the best outfits have layers and visual interest so don’t be afraid to have fun with what you have on!
Boxy yellow teddy sweater
Last fall I picked up a brown version of this sweater after seeing it on TikTok. I loved how boxy the cut of this sweater was and I just knew I needed another color. Its an incredibly soft and cozy piece which is perfect for the fall. While buying this in August might be a little crazy it does get a little brisk at night at the end of summer in Eastern WA. This sweater is light enough that it would go well with shorts or you can layer a tee underneath with jeans as it gets colder outside.
Pro Tip: Consider getting this sweater for work! It looks great with a slip skirt or you could style this with trousers. Coming in a whole host of colors, this sweater is the perfect cozy fall find that will work well during the day and can be dressed down at night with leggings for a movie.
Red aviator sunglasses
In August I got two new pairs of sunglasses that have completely changed my wardrobe for the better. The first pair is this gorgeous red sunny that is an aviator style but very oversized and reminiscent of the 1970s. I am personally a huge fan of the 70s, I think the wild child hippy and disco aesthetics are so fun and I find they work well with my overall personal style. I have always loved that era for music and I believe that has bled into my fashion tastes as well. These sunnies are not only great for a bright day outside but they double as a cute hair accessory if you wear them on your head. They have also provided a nice pop of color to otherwise basic outfits.
Blue Aviator Sunglasses
I told you I got two pairs! Not only did I acquire the fun red pair but I also got the blue color way! I love the cool tone of these sunnies, it goes with all of the blue and black I continue to find myself wearing. Having both a warm and cool tone version of these sunnies has been great for nearly every outfit I wear. The blue in particular are fun for my edgy days. I wear them the same way I find myself wearing the red ones, both as a hair accessory and of course as a way to keep my eyes from the sun. As a light sensitive girly, there is truly nothing better than sunglasses for me. I wear mine all year round, especially in eastern WA where we have bright days even in the winter!
Amazon Beauty
6 Pack of claw clips
Last fall I chopped my hair off to my current bob and I LOVE it! In this past year you would have thought I would have grabbed some hair accessories to go with this new length but alas it took me almost a year to get these new claw clips. I love how neutral and matte these are, they go so well with my various hairstyles plus they’re great for keeping your hair out of your makeup while getting ready. The best part of this pack are the various sizes available. You can get a lot of looks at once and since there are such small options available its ideal for my short hair girls. I think if you have thin hair these will also be a great option for you!
Amazon Food
Chia Seeds pack
Our final Amazon find from this past month was this pack of chia seeds. I don’t typically buy food from Amazon but I’m glad I got these! They are a great source of fiber and have been awesome for quick breakfasts. Just mix 2 tablespoons of chia seeds with half a cup of milk and leave them overnight. They have been delicious mixed with berries and a drizzle of honey. You seriously can’t beat this easy meal that will have you feeling your best at the start of the day!
Happy Amazon Shopping
I apologize for the delay in this post but I’m excited to share these new arrivals! There is nothing better to me than Amazon shopping and finding new products for my wardrobe and everyday life. As I’ve said before I am always tickled pink to shop on Amazon and get everything I need from one place. It’s great for the busy mom as well as the twenty-something that barely has time for the store. For more Amazon finds and the most up to date content, be sure to visit my Instagram and TikTok pages.
Until next time,
