Amazon Finds, Looks, Spring

April Amazon Haul (Including Hits + Misses)

April 23, 2019

Happy Tuesday, sweet friends!

I hope you had a wonderful weekend. We were visiting my family in Wisconsin, and it was SO beautiful outside. 

OK, I wanted to get this post out yesterday, but after a 3 hour drive home with the kiddos, I just couldn’t do it. Re-entry is hard. 

So, here it is! My April Amazon haul, complete with hits and misses. Most of my finds this month were hits, but I do have a few misses, too.

Stay tuned because I’ll be sharing my non-fashion related Amazon finds soon!

HITS

Floral top, denim, and straw earrings

This floral top is a bit of a departure from my normal neutral style and I was pretty surprised when I put it on and loved it. It’s non-maternity, so I sized up to a medium. The material is thin, but not too thin that it feels icky. For $14, it’s a great spring and summer top. These straw earrings are total summer must-haves. They’re lightweight, come in a few styles and are less than $12.

Striped maternity dress

I’ll be wearing this striped maternity dress all spring and summer long. It’s comfortable and stretchy, so it will grow with the bump. I sized up to medium. It comes in a bunch of colors and patterns (floral!), and is only $22. It rivals the dresses I’ve tried on from Nordstrom and A Pea In The Pod.

Striped maternity dress and color block cardigan

I absolutely love this colorblock cardigan. It’s soft, long enough that it totally covers the booty and is less than $27. It comes in 8 colors, and I already have another color in my cart. I sized up to a medium.

Color block cardigan and maternity tank

Another look at my colorblock cardigan, this time with my new favorite maternity tank. You guys. If you’re looking for a maternity tank that you can wear to layer under your favorite cardigan or alone with denim shorts this summer, this is the one. It actually comes as a part of a 2 pack and they’re less than $27 for two. I sized up to a medium and it will be perfect even for my 9 month bump. They also have the tee version, which also gets crazy good reviews.

April Amazon haul, striped tee

I have this Daily Ritual tee in the white and navy stripe, and I’ve shared my love for it quite a bit. I ordered this black and white version and it’s just as good. This top is SO soft and a little stretchy, and it covers the booty. It’s perfect if you have a bump (and you’ll be able to wear it after, too). I sized up to a medium. It’s totally shocking that it’s only $14 and could easily be double that. It comes in 7 colors and I’ll be ordering another one.

April Amazon haul, striped tee, denim jacket, leggings, and Vans

Another look at my tee in this #ootd shot. I’ll be recreating this look at least 42 times this spring and summer.

$15 sunglasses

If you choose anything from this Amazon haul, it should probably be these $15 sunnies. I have no idea how they’re only $15, but I’m not going to ask any questions. I just might be done spending an arm and a leg on sunnies, because KIDS. And when they’re this chic, I just don’t have to. I have them in the Black Frame (Glossy Finish) frames.

Fuzzy pink slides

Yes, these fuzzy pink slippers are a lot. But, they’re comfy and cute, so. I’m in. They feel more like sandals than slippers, but I’m not going to wear these babies outside.

Sports bra perfect for pregnancy and nursing

Gone are the days when I’m going to pose in my sports bra, so just take my word on this one. If you are pregnant or nursing and you have been looking for a supportive, comfortable sports bra, look no further. This is THE only sports bra I wore when I was pregnant and nursing with my girls, and I just ordered another one for this pregnancy. The straps are velcro and completely adjustable – and you can also take them off so that you can nurse easily in the bra. It’s a total must have and totally worth every penny.

MISSES

April Amazon haul miss,polka dot dress

Alright, I wanted to like this polka dot dress. But, it’s just too much material. I sized up to a medium, so maybe a small would be better, but it felt like a tent on me. It would probably work if you’re taller (I’m 5’6″), but it’s not for me. Back it goes.

April Amazon haul miss, maxi tee dress

This maxi tee dress is so cute. In theory. The material is thin, so it will show every single lump and bump. Which, for me currently, is a lot. I just couldn’t do it. Back it goes. (I’m wearing medium.)

April Amazon haul miss, dress

OK, I contemplated saving this dress for post-pregnancy. Because with the bump, it’s shockingly short. Whoa. Like, not meant for public. I’m wearing medium.

      Hi Constance! Yes! It still fits. It’s pretty flowy and I’d say runs big. I hope that helps! (And congratulations!) xo

Also, in case you see pretty pics + forget what goes on behind the scenes, I need to let you in on a little secret: I was scared.  
 
I was scared I would mess it up. That the photos would be awkward (hey πŸ‘‹πŸ»), that my answers to the questions would be lame. That overall I would...come up short.  
 
Still, I said yes, anyway.  
 
I said yes through the fear and I decided to be brave.  
 
I’m telling you this because I think it’s all too easy to assume that other people aren’t scared. That you’re the only one.  
 
I can honestly say that literally ANY time I’ve done something out of my comfort zone, I’ve been scared. (So pretty much like anytime I deviate from my normal everyday comfy routine. 😬) 
 
Being scared isn’t bad.  
 
I think being scared just might be the first step in being brave.  
 
(Oh and also. I don’t mean like β€œin your gut” scared. Listen to your gut. That’s a whole other post. πŸ˜‰) 
 
Thank you to @robinsubarphoto + @theresa.demaria.stylist for making the whole process not at all scary! πŸ–€β€‰ πŸ“· @robinsubarphoto
