New Wardrobe 2021: Fashion Haul 1

For 2021 one of my goals is a new wardrobe that is more ‘me'. I’ve been purging my old clothes (some clothes I pulled out of my closet is from 2008!!!!) and preparing my newly renovated closet for some fresh fashion pieces. 

I will say my wardrobe is beyond embarrassing. I’ve been showing my closet purge on my IG stories (I saved the video clips in a highlight if you want to go look). For someone with a Fashion Degree and LOVES style in I was a little girl; my wardrobe didn’t speak to that AT ALL. I do believe I know the reason why my wardrobe is literally a train wreak - after having Holly I was a bit uncomfortable with my new ‘post’ figure - in fact at one point I wouldn’t even look at myself in the mirror because I was unhappy with myself. We were also living in a small apartment and I was at home 24/7; therefore I never went out and never invested in a new style; plus any extra money I had went into baby items or I would (regretfully) buy fast fashion items instead of investing in quality pieces. December 2019 we moved into our new home and the goal was ‘A new wardrobe for 2020’ but covid happened. Everything was put on hold but now that I’m 100% confident in myself and my new journey with liketoknowit; I’m finally able to make enough money to pay bills and afford my new wardrobe (in small baby steps; of course!)

For clothing Haul #1 of 2021: I had a $100 gift card to shop at Abercrombie. My total ended up at $200 so the credit card was used but I’m in LOVE with all 5 pieces and beyond thrilled about all the looks I can create with just these 5 items! Below you’ll see images of the new pieces and links to the items PLUS a few more pieces I plan to purchase soon!

* The gift card was a gift from my in-laws*

If you have any clothing brands you’d like to see me try out please leave the brand details in the comments below! I’m always open to trying new clothing brands! On a future post I’ll go more in depth on what I plan to make my new fashion style be.

My Haul pieces plus a few I plan to get on the next sale!

Abercrombie & Fitch Haul

As many know, I love Abercrombie. Not because I spent a decade working for the brand; but I truly enjoy the quality, style, and diversity this brand has. Spending so much of my live involved with the company I saw some amazing growth and changes that I feel shows the brand can handle changing target markets in a mature and respectful manner.
Recently the store was doing 50% off on pratically their entire summer collection well - except 5 pieces I REALLY REALLY wanted. But today I will show you the items I did purchase and give a honest review on. * There actually is some items I didn't like!*

Continue reading to hear about my Abercrombie Purchases!

Strappy Slide Sandals $38

These shoes are super trendy for summer. They come in 4 colors (I want the white so so badly!). These are a defintele must but to warn everyone to try them on before purchase (or online order your regular size and the next size up) I noticed the bands are really tight on my feet; I'm a 7.5 but the size 8/9 fit me more comfortably. 

Pleated Denim Shorts $58

These shorts I have a love hate relationship with. I purchased them LOVING THEM. But after wearing them 2x I noticed the pleated front detailing makes my stomach area look big (which isn't good for someone who is already uncomfotable with their belly area.) These are highwaisted too which I wasn't expecting. I would return if I didnt remove the tags. Do I recommend? Eh, I would try them on and really think about the style before purchasing. *Had to go up 1 whole size too!!!!*

Low Rise Shorts $58

I ended up returning these online exculsive shorts because the sizing was off, I needed a size larger. *The shorts are sized odd this year*. I plan to reorder these because the look is really nice overal. 

White Drapy Top $18

I really really love this top. I plan to purcahse more and all the colors. The fabric is super soft and the draping detail is perfect to wear with jeans or tucked into highwaisted bottoms! 

Low Rise Clearance Jeans $19

These might be the softest jeans I own. Even after washing these jeans are still super soft. I love the ankle detail and these fit true to size! Definitely recommend shopping their jean collection the next time you want a good soft pair of denim!

Drapey Trench Jacket Clearance $90

This jacket I purchased last year in a mint green color and I wear it all the time time. Perfect for spring and summer looks at nighttime. This blush pink would be darling with a white dress or even white denim!

Tote $40

I'm amazed at how light, easy, and trendy this tote is. It holds so much items and doesnt loose its shape! Defintely a must for your summer collection (and perfect for poolside!)
