Dressing Room Diaries: AE edition

We love a good sale especially when it includes some of our favorite things that we’ve recently purchased.

Bralettes: Paige is a big fan of these and is a bralette connoisseur. Her favorite is the Romantic Lace Padded Bralette. All of the bralettes below are on sale for $20 and come in many colors. Paige wears a medium, could wear a small but despises back and armpit flab, and the sizes range from XXS to XXL.

Shorts: Mom shorts can be tough to find. Less hoochie, more mama. Paige bought almost every pair of midi shorts they sell last summer and wore them nearly every day. She highly recommends them and wears a 4. I also bought shorts in a 4.

Flared Jeans: We both purchased the white flares recently and LOVE them. One of my favorite things about AE is most of their jeans are customizable. You can get your size in short, regular, long and even x-long. I (5’9”) bought the 2 long and they fit perfectly. Paige (5’4″) went with the 2 regular. If you are not sure of your size we suggest you order a few to try out. It’s super easy to return in store or by mail.

Jeggings: Paige goes up to a 4 in the jeggings. A 2 long still works well for me but if you don’t want them on the tight side, size up.

We are really noticing how much better the online shopping selection is than in the stores. Going to all the trouble of shopping in the actual store is proving to be a disappointment! With how easy returns are, save yourself the time and irritation of digging through clothing racks, unless you are looking for daisy dukes and crop tops. They didn’t even have the midi shorts in the stores, only the itty bitty teenager shorts. Here is what we actually tried on, well we tried on a few other things but if you didn’t catch that on instagram stories you will never see it again. Paige looked like a bad version of Blossom in a couple of outfits. The 90s are back y’all!

This top was comfy and the right amount of oversized. Very cute with bralette straps showing! These shorts would be great for the pool! The button fly is a nice detail.

The top is adorable IF you have high waisted pants, we were too lazy to go try the bigger size but it would have looked great sized up to a medium. Paige also has a longer torso which makes it very easy for the tummy to poke out. The shorts are a size 4, we both loved how these looked!

This outfit was a winner and perfect for that spring transition! The sweater was a really awesome find and the shorts came home with me too.

This sweatshirt was a favorite and it comes in blue also! It’s on sale for $23.97 and would be great for lounging, with shorts, white jeans and sneakers, very versatile. Paige thought these would be like her shorts she had on repeat last summer, but these were the shorter version. She recommends these which were are her favorite cut-offs ever! Paige has a size 4 and they are comfortable, don’t ride up, are stretchy and longer, but short enough to still be a cool mom.

The romper was a last minute toss on the top of our try on pile. It turned out to be so cute, very comfortable, and would be such a good little spring/summer staple. It also comes in a pink stripe and is currently on sale for $24.46, she is wearing a small here. Rompers rarely work on her and this was as cute as can be, the adjustable straps make all the difference in a good romper fit!

If you haven’t shopped at American Eagle since 1998, it’s time to give it another try! With this great sale going on, now is the time to see why so many bloggers are raving about their jeans and shorts!
