Summer Dress Shopping Try on Haul!
Summer Dress Shopping Try on Haul!
Yesterday it was gorgeous out and I just wanted to wear one of my cute dresses. And then I realized I barely have any cute dresses! I used to have a ton of dresses but I must have gotten over them and sold them at Plato’s Closet or something of the sort because I can’t imagine where they ran off too.
I’ve been eying dresses at my usual spots like Target and Forever 21 but everything is either WAY too long (hi I’m 5’2”) or way too short (long torso probs!).
And while I usually like a good bargain shop, I’ve been trying to make more of a conscious effort to get higher quality pieces that I love rather than a bunch of disposable clothing like Forever 21.
So enter MACY’S. I honestly don’t know why I don’t shop there much because they have great brands, and even if the stuff is more expensive, they always have great sales. But none the less, it had been a while. We honestly have a major lack of good places to shop in Monterey which is sad, but luckily Macy’s has Free People! I’ve always adored Free People but it’s definitely pricier and so I tend to avoid it.
But today I decided that I would go try to find some dresses and see what happens. And I actually ended up loving almost everything I tried. It all fit almost perfectly and this was a super rare shopping occasion for me!
I’m going to show you everything I tried on! YAY!
Things to keep in mind:
I’m 5’2 ”. Super short legs but with a long torso.
I’m about 175ish pounds.
I have teeny tiny boobies! But I’m wide around. I’m a 38A bra size ish.
I’m not wearing a bra with any of the dresses. And I probably wouldn’t personally.
Let’s dive in!
This is the very first dress I tried and I forgot to take a picture (fail), so these are fabulous quality stills from video. This is a size large and the color is red. SHOP it HERE!
I actually really liked how this dress hugged my curves and the color/print, but it was too long for me. I could always alter it but I ended up finding others that weren’t too long!
I really loved this one! The color, the flowyness, the strappy open back, all of it! It was a wee bit too long but could be dealt with by wearing wedges for sure. The top didn’t fit my boobs as nicely as I would have liked but it’s still one of my favorites! I’m wearing a medium. SHOP it HERE!
This dress is super fun, flowy and feels very @fittybritttty ish! I actually loved this for the most part. Super comfy and a great length on me. Just slightly big in the boob area again. This is a size medium, and I’m considering going back and trying it on in a small just to see. SHOP it HERE!
I really really love this one! It’s a fun little black dress with a layered skirt and lots of detailing on the top. I didn’t see it in other colors before I went to try on and was really hoping for something more summery. But I ended up finding it in store after in ivory, and then online I saw that it’s also in pink and taupe! I really want this one, so now it comes down to picking out a color!! Decisions decisions! I’m wearing a large. SHOP it HERE!
OKAY! This one was a favorite, mainly because it fit me perfectly! The length was ideal, it wasn’t too loose on the top, and overall it was cute AF. I love this pattern and it gives me all the tropical vacay vibes. They have more colors too! I’m wearing a medium. SHOP it HERE!
THIS ONE AH! I just adore it. It fit perfectly and it’s such a cute summer staple. I don’t own a white dress and I fell in love. AND IT HAS POCKETS!! I can’t find this exact one online but they have basically the same exact thing, but it’s strapless and in different colors! The striped one is actually super cute and it’s tempting me! I’m wearing a medium. SHOP it HERE!
Not gonna lie my friend… this dress had me feeling SOME TYPA WAY! I felt like a sassy little goddess in this number. The fit and detailing on the top are kind of everything. The only thing that held me back was the fact that it was pretty sheer. I think I would need to wear something under the skirt which made it a little less desirable. The tag did say “intimates”, even though it’s online and in store in their dress section. So I think it’s supposed to be a little… um.. more scandalous. Still obsessed. I tried it on in black, but they have it in tons of other colors! I was eyeing the yellow and rose online. I’m wearing it in large. SHOP it HERE!
And that’s a wrap!!
I honestly loved most of these dresses and this was was such a difficult decision. I ended up going back and getting the white one because it was the VERY LAST ONE in the store. It was in my size and on sale! So I had to grab it. But all of the others are still tempting me. I think I need another! I’m going back within the next couple of days to decide which one or two to buy. So I would love your input! Please leave a comment with your fav that I tried on or you can add your insight on this Instagram post! I didn't add the pricing details on here because they keep going on sale and it just depends on the day! But a lot are on sale right now which is awesome, because we all like a good deal, right?! Please let me know if you would like to see more blog posts like this! But before I go, I’m going to link a few other dresses I saw online that I didn't see in store that are too cute not to share!
