Happy Friday, friends! I have a new try-on haul for you today, and this one is a good one—lots of keepers in this batch. I’m sharing a mix of denim, lightweight layers, a few lounge sets, and some really solid spring and summer basics.

SIZING NOTES: I’m 5’5″ and typically wear a small or medium in tops and dresses, a 29–30 in jeans and pants, and a size 8.5 shoe. I often fall between sizes, so fit notes matter. Gifted items are marked c/o; everything else was purchased by me.
As usual, I will provide measurements and fabric content on each item when I can find it, and I’ll share whether I plan to keep it or not. Just remember, even when I decide not to keep something, it doesn’t mean it isn’t worth checking out. I just may not need it, or it may not work for my body type or lifestyle.
Nordstrom Mesh Stitch Cardigan
at Nordstrom (S) // Splendid Josie c/o (L) // PAIGE Stevie c/o (also at Nordstrom) (30) // Dolce Vita Cely Sandals (8)

PRODUCT DETAILS: Lighten up your look with the open mesh stitches of this lightweight cotton-blend cardigan that lets you enjoy the season’s warmer weather without sacrificing your polished style.
- Front button closure
- Crewneck
- Long sleeves
- 73% cotton, 27% nylon
- Hand wash, dry flat
MY THOUGHTS: I thought I included this in last week’s try-ons, but maybe I only shared it on Instagram. This is a nice, modern option for a cardigan with the open mesh design, and it’s really cute on. It has a shorter, boxy fit that’s right on trend, and it also comes in black, but I thought this shade of beige would work really well with my spring capsule this season.
Fit note: It seems to run a bit big; I’m wearing the small, and it’s plenty roomy.
VERDICT: Keeping. I have a feeling this will be really useful as the weather warms up in Philly.

Caslon Shaker Stitch V-Neck Pima Cotton Cardigan in White
at Nordstrom (M) // Splendid Josie c/o (L) // PAIGE Stevie c/o (also at Nordstrom) (30) // Dolce Vita Cely Sandals (8)


PRODUCT DETAILS: Layer in classic style with this Shaker-stitch cardigan knit with soft pima-cotton yarns and a V-neckline.
- Front button closure
- V-neck
- Long sleeves
- 100% pima cotton
- Machine wash, dry flat
MY THOUGHTS: This is another nice cardigan option—more traditional with the shaker stitch and V-neck button-up boyfriend design, but I like the length a lot. It’s not as long as we were wearing them when I styled my infamous mustard cardigan and leopard scarf with skinny jeans, but not short and boxy either.
It feels like a versatile style, and the white is easy to wear with so many things. It also comes in a classic navy-and-white stripe for a bit of a nautical vibe.
Fit note: This one seems to run small; I’m wearing the medium and it just fits. I didn’t try buttoning it, and I probably wouldn’t at this length; I prefer it left open.
VERDICT: Keeping. In fact, I wish I’d brought it with me on this trip. I’ve been wanting something easy to throw on over tees and tanks when it’s chilly here in the mornings.

Splendid SunSoft UPF 50+ Short Sleeve Tee & Wide Leg Pant
SunSoft Short Sleeve Tee (S) // SunSoft Wide Leg Pants (M) c/o Splendid

PRODUCT DETAILS: All-day comfort with UPF 50+ protection woven in. Our signature crewneck tee and wide leg pants are now in UPF 50+ fabric for extra protection on sunny days.
- Measurements: 30 1/2″ Inseam
- Material: 83% Modal 17% Spandex, UPF 50+ up to 40 washes.
- Care: Machine wash cold
MY THOUGHTS: I’ve been wearing this set on repeat here in Florida. It’s perfect for running down to the lobby for coffee in the mornings, and next week when we’re in an Airbnb with family, I know I’ll appreciate having it for hanging out around the house when I don’t want to wear pajamas but don’t exactly want to get dressed either.
VERDICT: Definitely keeping—already wearing it a ton.

PAIGE Tatum 32 Inch Wide Leg Jean in Crisp White
at PAIGE & Nordstrom (30) // Caslon sweater (S) // Dolce Vita Galae Heels c/o (8)

PRODUCT DETAILS: Tatum is a fresh take on our bestselling Sasha silhouette, featuring the same fitted top block and slightly relaxed fit with a mid-rise waist for an effortless, laid-back feel. This pair is crafted from comfort stretch crisp white denim with a 32″ inseam and has plenty of coverage with the perfect amount of stretch.
- Measurements: 10 1/4” Rise; 32” Inseam; 21″ Leg Opening
- Material: 98% Cotton, 2% Elastane
- Care: Machine wash, hang dry (see more)
MY THOUGHTS: I’ve been wanting a full-length white trouser jean for dressier looks. I loved my PAIGE Leenah a few seasons ago, but sadly I outgrew them, and they no longer carry them in white. I decided to try the Tatum and the Sasha.
They’re similar, but the Tatum (wearing here) has more of a mid-rise (10 1/4”), and the Sasha (sharing below) has a high rise (11 3/4”). Both lengths are listed as 32″, but as you’ll see, the Sasha seems to be a smidge longer on me.
I really like the long, lean, leggy silhouette they both offer, and the crisp white denim is nice and soft and thick enough not to be see-through.


VERDICT: Stay tuned…

PAIGE Sasha 32 Inch Wide Leg Jean in Crisp White
at PAIGE (30) // Splendid Emerson c/o (M) // Mylee Heels (8.5)

PRODUCT DETAILS: Sasha is our high-rise wide leg with a fitted top block and a slightly relaxed fit. This style features a 32″ inseam and is crafted from crisp white comfort-stretch denim, finished with silver vintage hardware and offering plenty of coverage with the perfect amount of stretch.
- Measurements: 11 3/4” Rise; 32″ Inseam; 21 1/4” Leg Opening
- Material: 98% Cotton, 2% Elastane
- Care: Machine wash, hang dry (see more)
MY THOUGHTS: These have the same fabric composition and almost identical fits, except that extra inch and a half in the rise is a real game changer for me. Whereas the waistband of the Tatum cuts across my fluffiest part, the higher waistband on the Sasha is much more comfortable and doesn’t create that dreaded muffin top, but the length isn’t quite as friendly.
I don’t know why they’re different, since both are supposed to be 32″ and they’re the same size, but anyway!


VERDICT: After much debate, I decided to keep the Sasha and wear them with my only pair of 3″ heels—the Sam Edelman Elissa. Here’s how that looks. (I wore this outfit to church last Sunday.)

Splendid cardigan (S) // PAIGE Sasha (30) // Sam Edelman Elissa (8.5) // Rodan Pearl Earrings in Tigre c/o Lizzie Fortunato // Astra Pavé Paperclip Necklace & Isla Gold Bead Necklace c/o Thatch // Lele Sadoughi bracelet

PAIGE Stevie Ankle Straight Jean in Lisbon Light
c/o PAIGE (also at Nordstrom) (30) // Madewell Rib Crewneck Vest Tank (M) // Splendid Fedora (8) // Anthro bangles

PRODUCT DETAILS: The Stevie Ankle is our high-rise straight leg with an ankle length silhouette. Cut from our TRANSCEND VINTAGE denim in an aged light wash that’s perfect for dressing up or down, this pair combines the signature comfort of Transcend with rich denim character for a lived-in look.
- Measurements: 11 1/2″ Rise; 28″ Inseam; 16 1/2″ Leg Opening
- Material: 93% Cotton, 5% Polyester, 2% Spandex
- Care: Machine wash, hang dry (see more)
MY THOUGHTS: While we’re on the topic of denim, PAIGE kindly offered to gift me a pair of the Stevie Ankle Straight to try. I wasn’t really in the market for another pair of straight ankle jeans, but far be it from me to turn down the opportunity to try a new PAIGE style!
As it turns out, I love these. PAIGE has been hitting it out of the park lately. They have a nice high rise with a clean, straight silhouette and the perfect 28″ inseam to hit right at the ankle. They’re super soft with a bit of stretch, and this Lisbon wash is really nice for spring and summer.


Here’s how I wore them to host friends at my house last weekend, with raffia slides and the same red cardigan as above.

Splendid cardigan (S) // PAIGE Stevie (30) // Sam Edelman Bay Slides (8) // Astra Pavé Paperclip Necklace & Isla Gold Bead Necklace c/o Thatch // Lele Sadoughi bracelet // LAGOS earrings
VERDICT: Definitely keeping these! I almost brought them to Florida with me, but I packed a similar style of white denim (the PAIGE Mason), so I decided to bring a wide-leg style for my blue pair (the PAIGE Anessa Twisted). Ironically, all PAIGE.
I feel like PAIGE is taking over the spot in my closet that MOTHER denim used to hold. It’s interesting how, as our bodies change, the brands that work for us change too.

EVEREVE Iver Garment Dyed Raglan Tee in Poppy Red
at EVEREVE (S) // FRAME The Pixie Lax (30P) // Talbots Eva Speckled Canvas Sandals c/o (8)

PRODUCT DETAILS: An easy everyday staple, the Iver tee by EVEREVE is crafted from garment-dyed Pima cotton slub fabric with a classic crew neckline and long raglan sleeves.
- Measurements: Length from Shoulder to Hem: 22 1/4″
- Material: 100% Pima Cotton Slub Jersey
- Care: Machine wash cold, delicate cycle, tumble dry low.
MY THOUGHTS: Okay, moving on from denim… this cotton slub tee is a great closet basic for the season. You know I love a raglan sleeve, and this shade of red is so pretty. Unfortunately, I took a gamble and only ordered one size, and my gamble did not pay off. The small is too small, so I returned it and ordered the medium.

VERDICT: Returning and reordering the medium.

Nina Raglan Tee in White
at EVEREVE (M) // KUT Jane Short (8) // Sam Edelman Bay Slides (8)

PRODUCT DETAILS: An endlessly versatile essential, the Nina tee by EVEREVE is crafted from soft Pima cotton jersey with a classic crew neckline and raglan cap sleeves.
- Length from Shoulder to Hem: 22″
- Material: 100% Pima Cotton Jersey
- Care: Machine Wash Cold, Tumble Dry Low
MY THOUGHTS: This short-sleeve white tee also caught my eye for the easy fit and raglan cap sleeves. I’m always up for trying another white t-shirt since I wear them so much in spring and summer. I gambled again and only ordered one size—this time the medium—and it is still too small!
VERDICT: Returning and reordering the large.

EVEREVE Nora V Neck Muscle Tee in Green
at EVEREVE (S) // FRAME The Lax (30) // Sam Edelman Elissa Slingback (8.5)

PRODUCT DETAILS: The Nora muscle tee by EVEREVE is the perfect closet staple, crafted from soft Pima cotton fabric with a V-neckline, relaxed fit, and raglan cap sleeves.
- Length from Shoulder to Hem: 22 3/4″
- Material: 100% Pima Cotton Jersey
- Care: Machine Wash Cold, Gentle Cycle
MY THOUGHTS: I love this shade of green and the flattering V-neck and raglan cap sleeves, but if you’re thinking this feels like Groundhog Day, you’re not alone. Yet again, I ordered one size—the small—and once again, it is too small. I give up! For now and forevermore, I will order two sizes… although it wouldn’t have helped in the case of the white tee, because I actually need a large in that one. Go figure!


VERDICT: In this case, I feel like the small just fits, and once I wash it, it will be too small, so I’m returning it and reordering the medium.
Also, these FRAME The Lax Frayed High Waist Flare Jeans are 30% off at Nordstrom! I love them, so flattering.

KUT from the Kloth Jane Short Stripe in Navy/Ivory
at EVEREVE (8) // Nina Raglan Tee (M) // Sam Edelman Bay Slides (8)



PRODUCT DETAILS: Refresh your summer denim collection with these striped jean shorts by KUT from the Kloth, crafted from comfort-stretch denim with a 4 3/4″ inseam and raw hems.
- Front Rise: 10 1/2″
- Inseam Length: 4 3/4″
- Leg Opening: 25 1/2″
- Material: 98% Cotton, 2% Spandex Denim
- Care: Machine Wash Cold Inside Out
MY THOUGHTS: These shorts are kind of fun. I like the classic navy and white pinstripe pattern, and they’re soft and stretchy. The 4 3/4″ inseam is a nice mid-length—long enough to feel on trend but not cutting off at an awkward spot on my leg.
That said, the size 8 is quite snug, and the 10 1/2″ rise creates an unflattering muffin top, which shows quite a bit with this white tee that is also a bit snug on me.
VERDICT: I returned them and may reorder in the 10, but I haven’t yet.

Wit & Wisdom Gracie High Waist Cotton Blend Denim Shorts
at Nordstrom (8) // Free People Nova Tee (M) // Dolce Vita Cely (8)

PRODUCT DETAILS: These high-waisted denim shorts are designed with an inset side panel and and angled stitching, while the front is finished with subtle whiskering for a lived-in look.
- Measurements: Unknown
- Material: 66% cotton, 32% REPREVE® recycled polyester, 2% spandex
- Care: Machine wash, tumble dry
MY THOUGHTS: These jean shorts have a nice medium/dark wash with subtle whiskering and a clean, finished hem. I’m guessing the inseam is about 4″, even though they don’t provide that measurement and I didn’t think to measure it myself in time.
The theme continues… they feel a bit snug to me, even though I acknowledge that they look pretty good in this photo. As usual, it comes back to the waistband. I also wish the rise was higher.
VERDICT: I returned these. I’m not sure if I’ll reorder in the 10, but I do need a new pair of blue denim shorts, so we’ll see…

SPANX Booty Boost 7/8 Leggings in Timeless Navy
c/o SPANX (M) // BoostUp High Neck Tank c/o (M) // Xero Shoes (9)

PRODUCT DETAILS: Boost more than just your confidence with our SPANXshape™ Booty Boost® 7/8 Leggings. These workout-ready leggings have a stay-in-place waistband and provide UPF 50+ sun protection—perfect for both medium and high-intensity workouts.
- Measurements: 25.5″ Inseam; 9 5/8″ Front Rise
- Material: 64% Nylon, 36% Elastane.
- Care: Machine wash cold, tumble dry low
MY THOUGHTS: If you’re looking for leggings that hold everything in and give you a booty that looks like you spend hours every week in the gym, look no further! I know, that’s a big sell, but seriously, these are so good. They also have a nice high rise (it’s way higher than 9 5/8″—at least you can pull them up so that it is).
They do cut in a bit at the waist when I sit, so I think I might want to size up to a large. Otherwise, they’re amazing.
The BoostUp High Neck Tank is just okay to me, but I really love these leggings.
VERDICT: Keeping both, because I like to have a matching set.

SPANX AirEssentials Half Zip in Rain
c/o SPANX (S) // AirEssentials Straight Leg Pant c/o (M) // adidas OG Samba (8)

PRODUCT DETAILS: Luxurious comfort that goes anywhere. The AirEssentials Collection is made with spacer fabric that’s lightweight, soft and ultra drapey, designed to feel silky against your skin.
- Measurements: Full Length: 23″
- Material: 47% Tencel™ Modal, 46% Polyester, 7% Elastane
- Care: Machine wash cold, tumble dry low.
MY THOUGHTS: I have this half zip in black, so I already know I love the design. I think this Rain color is so pretty, and it’s a nice option for spring/summer. The flattering raglan sleeves, the collar that isn’t too large, and the 23″ length with the softly banded waist all work together to make the perfect pullover for athleisure looks.
VERDICT: Keeping. I could maybe size up to a medium for a bit more of a relaxed fit, but I think the small works..

SPANX AirEssentials Straight Leg Pant in Rain – M
c/o SPANX (M) // AirEssentials Half Zip c/o (S) // adidas OG Samba (8)

PRODUCT DETAILS: Our SPANX AirEssentials® Straight Leg Pants are crafted from our signature spacer fabric that’s light-as-air, cloud-soft, and oh-so-smooth. These versatile pull-on pants
- Inseams: Petite 30″, Regular 32″, and Tall 35″
- Material: 47% Tencel™ Modal, 46% Polyester, 7% Elastane
- Care: Machine wash cold, tumble dry low.
MY THOUGHTS: I love this new straight-leg silhouette in the SPANX AirEssentials line. They’re much more streamlined and flattering than the wide-leg pair I have and wear a lot for travel. I just wish it didn’t have that tie at the waist. It isn’t necessary to adjust the waistband (at least not for me!), and it just adds bulk.
VERDICT: Love these, keeping! I actually ordered the black pair, too.

SPANX AirEssentials Slim Straight Pant in Oatmeal Heather
c/o SPANX (M) Long Sleeve Polo Top c/o (M) // Talbots Eva Speckled Canvas Sandals c/o (8)

PRODUCT DETAILS: Sleek, stylish, and comfortable, these throw-on-and-go slim straight pants will take you anywhere and everywhere.
- Inseams: Petite 28.5″, Regular 30.5″, Tall 33.5″
- Material: 47% Tencel™ Modal, 46% Polyester, 7% Elastane.
- Care: Machine wash cold, tumble dry low.
MY THOUGHTS: I also really like this slim straight, ankle-length pant. It’s flattering and a nice option for those who worry about their pants dragging on the floor in airplane restrooms. This oatmeal color is a bit warm for me, but it’s a nice light neutral for summer. I also love that it doesn’t have a tie at the waist, which isn’t needed and just creates extra bulk.

SPANX AirEssentials Long Sleeve Polo Top in Oatmeal Heather
c/o SPANX (S) // AirEssentials Slim Straight Pant c/o (M)

PRODUCT DETAILS: This classic long sleeve polo features a classic collar and a relaxed fit with moderate stretch which allows for beautiful draping. Sleek enough for travel or errands and cozy enough for lounging at home, this throw-on-and-go piece will take you anywhere and everywhere.
- Measurements: Full Length: 24″, sleeve length: 32.5″
- Material: 47% Tencel™ Modal, 46% Polyester, 7% Elastane.
- Care: Machine wash cold, tumble dry low.
MY THOUGHTS: This top is a nice match to the pants and a good alternative to the AirEssentials Half Zip if you prefer a more relaxed waistband, and I like it better without the zipper, which can feel cold against the skin. It hangs straight, and the 24″ length works well with either style of pants. The classic polo collar feels a little more polished than a basic crewneck.
Fit tip: I went with a medium in this one, and it has a nice relaxed fit. I’d be curious to try a small to compare, but I feel like this is probably the better size for me.
VERDICT: I’ll hold onto this set for now, but I wish I’d requested a different color. That Sage is really pretty.

Varley Aleone Runner
at Varley (9) // SPANX Half Zip (S) // SPANX Straight Leg Pants (M)


PRODUCT DETAILS: A nod to classic running silhouettes, the Aleone runner blends retro-inspired style with everyday ease.
- :Material: 100% Cow Leather
- Care: Remove the laces, then remove any excess dirt using a soft clean suede brush. To remove stains, wipe delicately using a damp soft clean cloth.
MY THOUGHTS: I forget how I came across these. Maybe it was an email from the brand? Anyway, I ordered them because I’ve been on the lookout for a black sneaker I can wear with black pants or jeans that doesn’t feel too heavy. I’ve tried quite a few, and nothing ever seems quite right, but I think this might be it! I love the contrast stitching and white accents, and the runner style is on trend without feeling too athletic for casual outfits.
The only odd thing about these is the sizing. I recommend sizing up, so I ordered the 9, but I feel like it’s still too short—my toes were right at the end. I hope it’s not just that they’re too pointed for my square Fred Flintstone feet, because I can’t imagine needing a 10… but I ordered one to try.
VERDICT: I’m holding onto these until the 10 comes in so I can compare.

Birkenstock Sydney Luxe Buckle in Graceful Pearl White
c/o DSW (39) // Splendid Cardigan (S) // PAIGE Stevie (30)


PRODUCT DETAILS: The BIRKENSTOCK Sydney proves that fashion and functionality can go hand in hand. With its two simple straps, it’s a real hit with women who want both high fashion and comfort. This sandal version has a silky sheen finish. The shiny, gently rounded padded buckles are especially eye-catching. The upper is made from the skin-friendly, hard-wearing synthetic material Birko-Flor®.
- Anatomically shaped cork-latex footbed
- Upper: Birko-Flor®
- Footbed lining: suede
- Sole: EVA
- Made in Germany
MY THOUGHTS: Loving this update to the classic double-strap Birkenstock with the shimmer finish and shiny gold buckles.
VERDICT: Keeping! I’ve been wearing the Madrid Big Buckle for years, and this is a fun option for when I want a bit more support that the extra strap provides.

Crown Vintage Daniya Platform Sandal in Tan
c/o DSW (8.5) // PAIGE Stevie (30)


PRODUCT DETAILS: This relaxed sandal invites you to step into weekend vibes with a carefree spirit, perfect for everyday moments. With its comfortable platform silhouette, it’s made for slipping on and going wherever the day takes you.
- Synthetic/fabric upper
- Lightly Padded footbed
- 3.54” heel
- 1” platform
- Rubber sole
MY THOUGHTS: These are a really fun option for longer-length jeans this spring. I love the raffia/straw texture and the woven, interlocking strap across the toe.
VERDICT: Keeping!

Dolce Vita Delaney Sneaker
40% off at Nordstrom (8.5) // FRAME jeans (30)

PRODUCT DETAILS: Give your look a stylish kick with these sporty-chic sneakers by Dolce Vita, featuring a woven upper with suede and leather details and pink laces for a pop of color.
- Material: Leather and textile upper, recycled synthetic outsole.
- Care: Spot clean.
MY THOUGHTS: I bought these at EVEREVE, but I just found them at Nordstrom for 40% off! These are such cute sneakers for spring/summer—neutral enough to work with a lot of outfits, but the coral laces add a fun pop of color. They’re comfortable, too.
VERDICT: Definitely keeping! Already wore them once.

Frank & Eileen The Jackie T-Shirt Cardigan in White
c/o Frank & Eileen (M) // Madewell Zoe Linen Shorts (8) // Splendid Fedora (8)

PRODUCT DETAILS: Sophisticated, feminine, and functional, Jackie’s square-ish silhouette, elegant buttons, and cool raw edge hem in Vintage Jersey look and feel beautifully lived-in. Designed with a relaxed silhouette and signature raw edge hem.
- Measurements:
- Material: 100% Cotton
- Care: Machine wash cold with like colors and tumble dry low.
MY THOUGHTS: This is a new design from Frank & Eileen, and I love the idea of a t-shirt cardigan. As always with this brand, the quality, cut, and attention to detail are impeccable. I love the raw edges, and it has the perfect cropped, boxy fit.
Fit note: I went with the medium so I could wear it buttoned, and I’m glad I did. I couldn’t have gone any smaller.
VERDICT: Keeping. In fact, I wore it last night with olive green shorts to dinner.


Madewell Zoe Linen Shorts in Sunfaded Blue
at Nordstrom (8) // Frank & Eileen The Jackie T-Shirt Cardigan c/o (M) // Splendid Fedora (8)



PRODUCT DETAILS: These wear-everywhere linen shorts feature a high waist with an elasticized back for extra comfort and convenient front slant pockets and back patch pockets.
- Measurements: 3″ inseam; 27″ leg opening; 12″ front rise
- Material: 100% linen
- Care: Machine wash, tumble dry
MY THOUGHTS: I have and love the Madewell Zoe linen pants, so when I saw these Zoe linen shorts at Nordstrom, I ordered them immediately. I love this shade of blue, but once again, the size 8 feels a bit snug.
VERDICT: Returned and reordered the 10.

FRAME The Off Duty Stroll in Frey
c/o FRAME (29) // Frank & Eileen The Jackie c/o (M)



PRODUCT DETAILS: The Stroll jean, reimagined in a new light and airy fabrication for the warmer months. This is a laid-back, mid-rise silhouette, finished with a zip fly.
- Measurements: 11″ Front Rise; 33″ Inseam; 22″ Leg Opening
- Material: 100% Cotton
- Care: Machine wash cold
MY THOUGHTS: Even though these are 100% cotton, they’re super soft and comfy. I love the wash on them, too, and the 11″ rise, but the 33″ inseam is way too long for me. I’m wearing 3″ heels, which is as high as I go these days, and they’re still dragging.
I was in a rush the day I tried them and didn’t play around with styling, but I do want to try them with the Crown Vintage platform sandals when I get home and see if that works. If not, I may have them hemmed.
VERDICT: I’ll have to figure out what to do with these when I get back home.

Thigh Society The Cooling 5″ Beige
c/o Thigh Society (M/L) // Tommy Bahama dress (M) // Talbots Eva Speckled Canvas Sandals c/o (8)

PRODUCT DETAILS: Chill out in our lightest slip shorts yet. Made with silky, hi-tech performance fabric that pulls heat and moisture away from your body. We feel better already.
- Measurements: 5″ Inseam
- Material: 78% Sensil® Breeze nylon, 20% elastane, 2% cotton
- Care: Machine wash cold, tumble dry low.
MY THOUGHTS: I get asked all the time what I wear under dresses in the summer, and the answer is Thigh Society Cooling Shorts! These aren’t shapewear—they’re just meant to keep you cool and comfortable and prevent chafing.
They saved me when we were in Italy a few years back and it was 100 degrees every day. Now I won’t leave home without them if I have a dress in my suitcase. They’re super lightweight, so you can wash them out in the sink and rewear them. (I wear them over my underwear.)
They also sent me The Cotton 5″ Black to try. They call them loungewear, but honestly, I wouldn’t wear them without something on top. Still, they feel great on if you prefer cotton.
VERDICT: Keeping both, but I feel like I could size up. I’ve always worn the M/L, but these are a bit tight on the thigh. I would order the L/XL next time.
FYI, longer lengths are available, and they come in sizes up to 5XL/6XL.

I think all of these finds look terrific on you! They are all very classic but still cool and elevated. I am 100% with you on the drawstrings on the Spanx pants. I just don’t get why they even bother. They definitely cause that weird bump on the waist that is so awkward. Sometimes if it’s a pair (Spanx or other brands) that I know I will never want to tuck in my top I just cut the stupid drawstrings off! I got the new Spanx wide leg track pants over the winter and they are a huge improvement. The front is nice and flat with no drawstring and they also have pockets. Unfortunately they only came in black and red. I keep checking to see if they have added more colors but no luck so far.
I’m thinking of trying the Paige wide leg jeans with the twisted front seam but having trouble finding a link to them. I went to your “ShopMy” page and still no luck. If you have a chance can you link them for me? Thank you!
(The Splendid lounge set in your try- ons looks so cute and comfy – a bit too short for me but it looks great on you!)
Right here – https://go.shopmy.us/p-52514421
Thank you for all your try-on hauls. Lots of great choices. Can you re-post “best make-up brushes”. I think it was from you assistant.
https://jolynneshane.com/the-makeup-brushes-you-really-need-after-40.html Here you go!
Wow. Great try on. Do the Paige Stevie bag out any or hold their shape? Also did the Frame jeans stretch any with being mostly cotton? I’m between sizes and trying to decide which size to order. Thank you. Fantastic try on. I would like one of everything.
Great finds. I love and really appreciate these post. Can’t imagine how much work they are. You really should take some time off when on vacation. We all would understand. 😃
