Last month I thought it would be fun to round up my purchases and returns for the month so we can see what worked and what didn’t. It also gives us an idea as to what I deem worthy of a purchase. You guys loved it last month so we’re doing it again for September.
Let’s get right into it …

ZARA KNIT JOGGER SET &
ALEXANDER MCQUEEN SNEAKERS
INITIAL PENDANT
CHUNKY NAME NECKLACE
Hands down one of my favorite pieces from my shop, shopjuliamarie.com
This is a great statement piece that gives an edgy 90’s vibe.
I wear mine on a 16″ chain in 18kt gold, she’s also available in sterling silver.
PENDANT NECKLACE
tbh, the pendant is good but the necklace it comes on could be better. It’s fun for the price and you can always switch out the chain.

ZARA JOGGER SET
This was a MUST HAVE for me. Chocolate is the color of the season and I love myself a sweat suit so a chocolate brown sweatsuit was on my radar. When I saw this set on Zara it was an immediate purchase and I regret nothing. I say it runs TTS.
ALEXANDER MCQUEEN SNEAKERS
This was my F/W splurge. I love a white sneaker and buy at least one new pair a year and these were it for me. I saw them irl on someone in line at Zara and thought about them everyday for 2 months until I purchased.
These run TTS for me, they are stiff as they are a thick leather and have to be broken in.

HANES MEN’S SWEATSUIT

HANES MEN’S SWEATSUIT
I wanted to jump on the sweat short set train before it got too cold and I did not want to spend on it so I went to Amazon to see what’s happening. I found this men’s Hanes set for a grand total of $22.
These were pants that I cut into shorts. I just lined up a pair of shorts I like the length of and cut at that length with good cutting sheers.
SIZING; Top: one size up. Bottom: TTS.

YSL SWEATSHIRT

YSL SWEATSHIRT
While this was gifted, I bought my tees and the other YSL sweatshirt I have. This one is excellent quality and worth the price. I wore this twice the first week I got this. It’s perfect for wearing around the house or out on errands. You can always wear it dressed up with jeans, boots a nice coat and hat to top things off. No pun intended.
I sized up one for an oversized look and fit.
OTHER ITEMS PURCHASED

HATS
A great way to complete a look is a hat, especially in colder months. I bought a few new styles, all linked here, that you’ll be seeing in coming months. I haven’t worn them irl yet so I don’t have tons of feedback except they’re great for the price!
AMAZON LEGGINGS
These are my #1 most favorite workout leggings, they’re thick enough for a tough workout and high waisted enough to wear with a longline bra or crop top. Hands down my favorite, highly recommend!
P.S. I actually found these at TJ Maxx but when everything shut down in March I had to find them online. They were less expensive in store but the extra money spent is well worth the time spent driving to the store and sifting through racks in hopes to find them. As often as I’ve looked I’ve only found this exact pair in store twice so the extra cost is worth it, to me.
TAN SWEATSUIT
I don’t have much feedback on this, I bought it a couple of weeks ago and am still waiting for it’s delivery. H&M has been REALLY slow during covid and this was not in store.
MEN’S BLACK HOODIE
I have this hoodie in white that I bought last year. I love an oversized black hoodie to wear with Spanx Leather Leggings and a long overcoat in the Winter. The black hoodie I bought last year from the GoodFellow line at Target faded right away so it’s a gym hoodie now and needed an upgrade so I bought this one.
I bought an XL for a tunic length.
RETURNED
SWEATER DRESS
Let me start by saying I love this dress and do recommend it. It’s the best quality Amazon item I’ve tried thus far. I returned it because I just haven’t worn dresses this year and it’s unlikely I’ll wear it. Wtbs, I may reorder it in a different color. We’ll see.
Runs TTS
PJ SET
This was a random throw it in the bag for free shipping item. I didn’t even open it when it came in, straight returned.
SHOULDER PAD SWEATSHIRT
This is cool for the price. I didn’t love the quality of the ribbing in the neckline and waistline. I have way too many sweatshirts to keep an okay one so I returned it. I also think I’ve taken shoulder pads too far this year.
Recommend this for the price.
Runs TTS.
COMBAT BOOTS
I wanted to love this so bad. These are a return because of the patent, I want plain leather and the patent makes these super stiff at the ankle. It’s a weird shaft height for my short legs.
Besides my personal preference I do recommend these.
Runs TTS
RUFFLE SWEATER
Love this style sweater for others, not for me this season. I don’t know what I was thinking.
