We Aim To Slay

At the start of holiday season, Hubby discovered and became obsessed with online retailer, Temu. He’s overzealously ordered more and more items,  including several for me! Let’s see how he did!

Clothing

Purple tie-dye set

I love these together, and I love the top as a separate, but I’ve yet to figure out how to style the pants as a stand alone item. I think that has more to do with my love handles than the pants. This set features a cropped top with long sleeves, and flared pants.

Gold velvet

We picked this set specifically for me to wear for Hubby’s work Christmas party! This cropped jacket is adorable – I’ve even worn it to work! The only downside are the pants. We ordered a larger size, as I had been struggling with my weight, but the pants were too big and needed to be pulled up throughout the evening. I’m considering getting the pants taken in or seeing if my tailor could replace the waistband with elastic.

Basic black cropped tank

There’s nothing more versatile than a plain black top! I’ve worn this once so far, layered under one of Hubby’s shirts, but I think I paired it with the wrong bra for the cut of this top. I’m planning to try it again with a strapless bra or a racerback, to see if that helps keep the top in place and the bra straps hidden. 

Demon Slayer Shirt

I’ve worn this shirt twice now, once for date night, and once to work. This is one of those odd shirts that’s too big to just be a shirt, but it’s not long enough hem-wise to wear as a minidress. In both instances I decided to do a bit of adjusting; for the more formal look, I used a safety pin to create an asymmetrical hem, and for work I simply did a French tuck into the waistband of my jeans. I also wore this to the gym to see if I liked it better as a gym jersey – and I absolutely did not, it was way too big and baggy.

Wide Leg Denim Overalls

Ever since these arrived I’ve been wanting to wear them, especially with my platform sandals, I just feel like that will be such a vibe! But, I can’t figure out how to style them because of this odd seam right across the waistline of these overalls. After months of trying and trying, I finally figured out how to style these by playing with layers! I wore them with a Venus brand white tank underneath, and my Venus button up on top, but tied the button up around the waist to camouflage the weird seam, and paired the look with my Steve Madden platform sandals!

Black and Orange Button Down

I wear this shirt frequently as a layering piece, and as a way to add a pop of color!

Olive Green Romper

I completely forgot I had this piece in my closet! This olive green romper is super comfy – recently I wore it over a cowl neck shirt (and tights for warmth!) and under a tie-dye-and-fringe cardigan, paired with my Doc Martens

Purple Bathrobe

This has quickly become one of my favorite items to reach for whenever I need to just throw something on. As a robe, it’s super convenient to have a pocket to stick my phone in while I’m washing my face, plus this is one of my favorite colors!

Penguin Jersey

I wore this to the gym recently and got so many compliments! The gym bros appreciated how adorable my penguin was, and that’s the sort of silliness I like to be a part of at 4:00 in the morning!

Tribal Print Fuzzy Sweater

I’ve been wearing this as my main gym hoodie all winter long, and it’s honestly so warm and cozy!

Shoes

Denim Sneakers

I’ve only worn these once, so I don’t really have a great read on them. I think I’ll need to wear them to work to fully decide how I feel about them. Okay, wearing these at work to test run; so far, they’re a bit too large. This is the second pair of Temu shoes that haven’t fit due to being a weird amount of large – like, these sneakers have just a tad too much room in the actual sole, but the entire foot covering is so large that they don’t feel secure even though I have them laced tightly. Aesthetically, I do like them, but I think they’ll look so much cuter with a little sundress, rather than the pants & sweater combo I’ve got going currently. Practically, they have a bit of padding/cushioning in the sole, which makes them very comfortable!

Bags

Gray and Black set

There is quite literally a bag for every occasion in this set! So far I’ve used the mini doctor bag and the tote, and I love them! The set also includes a key holder, wallet, a crossbody, and a wristlet.

Sea Foam Green Crossbody

This has become my favorite bag to use when we take the dogs hiking! The hands-free aspect of a crossbody bag has always lured me in, but having three zip pockets, a slip pocket, and plenty of room for my wallet as well as two water bottles has made this bag a game changer!

Jewelry

All of the earrings!

I’ve showcased a lot of these already, but Hubby knows I’m an earrings kinda gal! It would take several posts to showcase every individual pair he’s purchased but he’s nailed my preferred earring style – dangly, gold, edgy, earthy – and I couldn’t be happier to welcome these new additions to my collection!

What Do You Think?
