Amazon Spring Finds! 🌸 I recently did an Amazon o Amazon Spring Finds! 🌸

I recently did an Amazon order for some spring pieces I’ve had on my wishlist. Here’s what I found! 

1️⃣ Classic Trench Coat- I am impressed with this trench coat! The fit is great! I’m wearing a small! I love that it’s water resistant and has a removable hood which is perfect for spring weather! ☔️

2️⃣ Wool (faux) Trench Coat- This coat isn’t exactly what I was shopping for (I didn’t read the description) but I do like it a lot! It’s warmer than the other tretch coat which is nice for late winter/early spring. The fit is great! I’m wearing a small! 🧥

3️⃣ Brown Wide-Leg Cropped Pants- I love the color of these pants! They are super cute and versatile! They are high rise and have a cropped legnth! I’m wearing an xsmall. 🤎

The one thing you need to ad to your closet before The one thing you need to ad to your closet before you shop for anymore clothes online is a tape measure! 📏 

Knowing your measurements is so important, especially when shopping for jeans. Learn your preferred inseam lengths and the rise of pants you like. 

Most websites list the measurements in the details!

People are always surprised when I tell them that I find such cute pieces at Walmart. But I don’t think everyone takes the time to take a closer look at the clothes that they sell! 

My local Walmart just started carrying some of my favorite Walmart brands in store like Free Assembly, Scoop and Pretty Garden.

Here are some super cute finds that I tried on last week in the store. Let me know which is your favorite! 👇🏻
