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!)

Today I'm diving into the 5 MUST HAVE ACCESSORIES for Summer! With so many new trends and how quickly items are selling out, this will be a major 'go-to' post to read before your next trip to the mall! *As always the pieces I'll showcase will be affordable, todays pieces are ALL from Red Dress Boutique! But you can find similar items at different price points!*

Continue reading to hear what my 5 MUST HAVE ACCESSORIES for Summer are!

1. Leather Band Sandals/Woven Leather
Last year these sandals hit many stores and this year I feel you can find a similar style literally anywhere! (from high end to Target!). The best colors to stick with are timeless colors: white, tan, cognac, and black. These shades will compliment all summer fashion choices.

Cost $24

Cost: $26

2. Bamboo Bags or Straw Bags
Last year all the 'it influencers' had the Cult Gala bamboo bags (the price is RIDICULOUS on these!). But luckily this year you can find these bags at TJmaxx, Red Dress Boutique, and Abercrombie! Grab up one (or 3) in some classic tan colors or be bold and grab a colored Straw Bag!

Cost: $52

Cost $54

Cost: $80

Cost: $40

3. Quay Sunglasses 
This past year this super chic and quite an affordable brand is what every influencer is rocking. Most of their sunnies are about 65$ but the quality is just like Ray-Ban. If you're on the fence about dropping $150+ on Ray-Ban or Quay definitely go with Quay!

Cost: $60

Cost $65

4. Beaded Jewelry
This trend was in style last year and I'm so happy to see it again this year! The bright bold beaded earring, necklaces, and bracelets. You can find anywhere from Red Dress, Baublebar, Target, and F21. These fun pops of color can dress any look from casual to night. (And I must say - wear all white with a pop of teal beaded earrings it's so so chic! Bonus points if the earrings have some bamboo woven dealing too!)

Cost: $18

Cost: $20

5. Hair Scarfs
Dress up your ponytail with a silk hair scarf, tie the scarf around your neck for a nautical look, or glam up your straw tote bag with a scarf tied on the handle. with countless ways to use a silk scarf, the endless prints, and styles - I'm sure you'll look like a trendsetter with this accessory.
