Guys! I had a lot of fun doing that previous fashion post that I thought I’d give it a go again — hopefully make it more of a thing on this blog because I love shopping for clothes! Amazon is one of my goto places to look for new items since it can be difficult to go to a store and shop alone. Have you ever tried shopping for clothes for yourself…with a kid in tow? It usually ends up with me buying her stuff and leaving my items behind! So online shopping is totally my jam.
The temps finally dipped into the freezing temps in the AM and have been a brisk 50-60 degrees here in my part of Arizona. Thats pretty cold for me. I love a good 75, but anything under 70 and I am “freezing” — so it prompted me to look for comfy, warm casual clothes I could wear day or night.
OUTFIT 1
I came across this two piece lounge set that I’ve seen sprinkled all over Instagram and LTK, but finally decided to give it a try myself. It has thousands of reviews and comes in 30 colors or patterns.
The outfit is made from t-shirt material which is soft and flexible with movement. And the stitching looks good — no loose threads or weird seams can be found. Oh, and it has pockets and a drawstring waist.
I went with a size small, and I think it was a good choice, despite going against the recommendations I saw in the reviews. I saw a few suggestions to size up but the small fits perfectly. I like that the sleeves are more fitted so if you want to scrunch them up, they are tight enough to stay in place. The ankle cuffs are something I like too — because if I end up falling asleep in them, the pants actually stay down and don’t ride up to my knees when I roll around.
I can dress it up with a wrap scarf or layer with a cute jacket. Or I can keep it super casual with just some sneakers and no additional accessories.I like how it looked tucked in on the front, and left loose in the back. I’d say the price is good for the quality, and I’d be tempted to get another color, except I have a few more sets on my eye and I’d like to explore.
Am I happy with my purchase? Yes. I’d buy again if needed. PURCHASE THIS SET HERE
OUTFIT 2
I was swooning over the velour sets I saw on Fabletics a couple weeks back and wanted to get one after seeing I forgot to pause my membership and was charged for the month. So basically, I’m due an outfit and I thought it’d be the velour sets. But alas, basically everything I liked was sold out so I looked elsewhere, and found this super cute hooded velour lounge set.
I was a little worried how this would fit. You always gamble with amazon size charts but I went with a medium and the fit was spot on. I have felt “better” velour elsewhere, but this is still a very nice velour set that you can get for under $42. Meaning the pile of the velour is shorter than others. I wouldn’t say it’s bad, just different. You’ll still want to run your hands across this fabric frequently because it’s so soft under the hand.
The stitching is clean, and the sizing allows for a loose, but not lost-in-a-bag fit. I adore the hood because it’s the first thing I do when I’m cold, and the pants have front pockets. Best of all, this is still machine washable (cold) and can be tumble dry low without destroying it.
If there was one negative on this, I’d say that I’d prefer an additional 1-2 inches on the length of the top. I have a longer torso so when I reach up my belly button will show. Not a deal breaker because it fits in every other way.
Am I happy with my purchase? Yes. But I don’t feel I need another. PURCHASE THIS SET HERE.
Do you do any clothes shopping on Amazon? I have a huge list saved that I am going through and either deleting items or purchasing! I can’t wait to share more!
Those are super cute and they look so comfy! I need some of these!
