Dressing Room Diaries

I had so much fun doing the Shop the Look post that I thought I would try a different idea that allowed for another day of shopping. Here you have it. Dressing Room Diaries is a new series idea where I will find the cutest items from my favorite retailers, and review them for you. The REAL Real Life Model – ME!

Fit Note: I’m 5’4.5″, 142 pounds-ish (depending on the week’s taco count). My usual size is S/8. (WOW!! This information is truly a NSV to actually say outload. Less than one year ago I was a size XL/18 -snug, 198 pounds. Read all about my Keto weight loss journey here.)

Keep in mind that the lighting is bad, and my hair is a mess. (Note to self, bring a hairbrush next time.) But it’s real life, real girl, real clothes…and hopefully helpful for you to see them this way, instead of perfectly styled on a model. So let’s get started!

The GAP Outlet

This sweatshirt is a size S. It is super soft and feels great on. There is a slit in each side of the bottom band of this sweatshirt. The back is slightly longer than the front. It comes in a variety of colors.

I have on Gap Girlfriend Stretch Skinny Jeans size 8/29R. These are actually my own jeans that I wore in. I got them at a 2nd hand store, but are available at your Gap store. They are comfortable and go with everything.

Floral Flutter Top. This light cotton top is available in several different patterns. I am wearing size S. The cut allows for arm comfort as well as room around the midsection. The material is lightweight and cool – perfect for a summer top.

These Mid-rise 10″ denim Bermuda shorts are size 30. I would go with a size 28 or 29 if I bought. They were comfortable and the length worked for me. Nice look and feel.

I grabbed this quilted bomber jacket in a size M. I would get a size S for a more tailored look. It is soft, not stiff like normal blue jean jackets. Cute addition to your wardrobe for the price.

You Can’t Have Just One

I absolutely LOVE these t-shirt dresses. Perfect with sandals, or tennies. I have on a size S. I added a blue jean shirt for a waist wrap. Soft and comfortable like your favorite old school T!

Icon denim jacket in size S. I love the way it paired with the t-shirt dress. Shiny silver buttons and just the right hit at the waist. This jacket would be a good investment to your closet.

This cotton dress is their Stripe Tie-waist Shirtdress in size S. Lightweight cotton material for comfort and style. The entire dress is lined so no need for a slip or kami. A little too boxy for me, but would look amazing with the right shape. You can dress up or dress down this wonderful addition to your closet with shoes/jacket.

Cute New Arrivals

This summer t-shirt is their Easy V neck Flutter Tank size S. Love the v neck and cap sleeve. Soft and lightweight. This t-shirt is comfortable around the arms and comes in many colors.

Utility Joggers in Chambray are cute with elastic waist size S. Dressier than most joggers but still comfortable. I like the elastic at waist and ankles. Draw string is a darling addition and is real – meaning it can tighten and double as a belt if needed.

Long sleeve gray t-shirt size S. Love it! Super soft and comes in many colors. Sleeves are longer which I personal like. White t-shirt size S is their Easy V neck Flutter Tank. Comfortable and light weight material.

These Girlfriend Khaki pants in stretch twill are both the same style, different colors. Pocket placement works well and rise is good for my body type. The material is soft and comfortable to wear. You can dress up or down these pants. Many colors and prints available.

My Favorite!

Easy Long sleeve scoop neck t-shirt is soft and comfortable in a size S. I like the longer sleeves and the length of this t-shirt. It worked well with the overall shorts.

These short overalls are my absolute favorite! I have been searching everywhere for the perfect shade of denim. A printed shirt around the waist was a cute touch I think! Add a baseball cap and my converse and THAT IS ME!

This is a size S in their Boyfriend Utility shirt. It has the right hang for a white dressier shirt. Soft to the touch and lightweight.

High rise paper-bag waist shorts. size S work with this utility shirt. Both are a handsome summer look that is slightly dressier for a classic style.

A Couple More

Size S for this statement graphic T. Mid-rise 5″ Girlfriend Khaki shorts found here in both white and coral size S. Logo baseball hat and flip flops round out this first outfit.

White V neck t-shirt size S, Cardigan sweater in light gray size S. Fringe scarf and Flip Flops along with sunglasses finish out this one.

There you have it. My new mini series Dressing Room Diaries. I hope that you got some good information from it and found some things that you like.

What did I take home? The overalls of course! These represent my days gone by. I am thrilled that they are making a comeback. I mean who wore these besides me as a swimsuit coverup? I’m bringing the ’80’s back. Who is with me? ~Susie Pea

These are my own opinions and comments. No compensation for my post, just one of my favorite stores to shop for comfortable and stylish clothes.
