REVIEWS: Amazon Prime Day Picks You’ll Love + Nordstrom & Quince Reviews

amazon prime day highlights 2025 + reviews of amazon favorites, nordstrom, & quince + putting me together + easy summer outfits

It’s a big shopping week, friends — Amazon Prime Day starts TODAY, and the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale kicks off for most cardmembers this Thursday!

To get you started, I’ve rounded up try-ons and reviews from Amazon in light of their Prime Day deals! If you’re interested in any of them and find them for a deal, scoop them up this week! I’ll also point you to my Amazon storefront for more great Amazon finds.

Additionally, in the spirit of try-ons, I’ve included a handful of items from Nordstrom and Quince.

And even though the Nordstrom Sale isn’t open to all yet (all cardholders get access July 10th, and everyone gets access July 12th) there ARE other items that aren’t part of the NSale but are currently discounted that I’m reviewing!

My Amazon Fashion Favorites + Quince and Nordstrom Reviews

amazon nordstrom quince reviews + amazon prime day + putting me together + soft summer teal maxi dress + ivory sandals

1. Amazon Casual Maxi Dress
Longtime favorite! Stretchy, soft, COMFORTABLE, pajama-like fabric. It has a waistband so that you’re not left totally shapeless, but I love that the waistband isn’t super tight. (It gives you shape while hiding a little bloat, haha!) Comes in 25 colors, HERE. I wear size S.

2. Amazon Ruffle Sleeve Maxi Dress
I thought this was going to be more of a silky, dressy fabric, but it’s actually a similar t-shirt type dress like the one above — except with flutter sleeves and a v-neckline! Comfy and casual, just in a different style than the one above. Lots of colors, HERE. I’m wearing size S.

3. Amazon Tie Shoulder Maxi Dress
I love this dressier option for events like graduations, kids’ performances, and birthday dinners. It has seaming at the bust, tiers for visual interest and movement, and adjustable tie straps. Also, the empire waist is not super tight, which I appreciate for providing shape without squeezing you. Comes in 18 prints, HERE! I wear size S.

I especially love that, while many dresses like this are made of suffocating polyester (which just makes me sweat a ton in the summer), this one is 80% viscose, which is MUCH more breathable! That does make it slightly dressed down (but still great for grads, performances, bday dinners) and more prone to show a few wrinkles in comparison. But, I think if you stick with prints that are busy, like florals, you won’t really notice the minor wrinkles.

4. Amazon Tiered Special Occasion Dress (Knee-Length and Maxi-Length Available)
Isn’t this fun?! The tiered dress has so much movement and visual interest. It is surprisingly flattering for a lot of different body types, totally smoothing over bumps. I personally found this true, AND you can see for yourself when you look through the customer pics in the reviews.

This comes in many PRETTY colors, HERE. I wear size S. There’s also a maxi-length version available HERE.

5. Amazon Crochet Tank
I got this tank last summer, and I like how it’s short enough to not have to tuck. Super affordable and comes in tons of colors! You do need a camisole underneath of it. See all the colors HERE. I wear size S.

Shop the Outfit:
Crochet Tank: Amazon (wearing size S)
Wide Leg Jeans: Nordstrom (wearing size 6)
Tan Sandals: Kohl’s
Earrings: Nickel & Suede

6. Amazon Linen Tank
This style of top is really popular this summer, and this option is surprisingly good! It’s really soft and drapey, making it comfortable easy to move in. There are also buttons down the back — so cute! Comes in several colors, HERE. I wear size S.

7. Quince Drawstring Linen Pants
Taking a brief break from Amazon finds, I also tried these linen pants from Quince. The fabric is sturdy and structured, giving you a polished look. I’m wearing them above in both black and in tan.

For fit, these pants are better if you don’t have curvy hips or have just slightly curvy hips. (Too bad for me, since I have curvy hips!) The pleats become accentuated and puff out on curvier hips. You can hide that more easily in the black color but not in lighter colors.

I don’t love that in the lighter color you can see pockets and wrinkles more easily. I also wish these fit curvy hips better. BUT, if you don’t have curvy hips, and if you get it in black to hide the pockets and wrinkles, I think they’re worth trying. (Quince offers free shipping, free return shipping, and a 365-day window, so it’s very easy to try things from them.) Find them HERE. I’m wearing size S.

8. Amazon Blazer
If I ever wear a blazer, I love a colored one! I like that this longline blazer balances looking both sharp and effortlessly chic. Comes in TONS of colors, HERE! I wear size S.

9. Hoop Earrings
I’ve been wearing these earrings nearly every day for the last couple of years. They finish off every outfit, from casual to athleisure to work looks. Super lightweight. They haven’t tarnished at all! PMT team member Courtney has sensitive skin and these don’t bother her ears. REALLY affordable — and even better as a deal! Available in several sizes. Check them out HERE. I’m wearing size 30mm.

10. Fleece-Lined Leggings
My weekend wear fave in the winter! I know it’s totally NOT winter right now, but if there’s a deal on these, you should definitely get them to save for winter. They’re so COZY, lined with fleece! See them HERE. I wear size M.

11. Corduroy Vest
I loved this vest in the winter! So cute with jeans or with leggings. It’s cozy, thick, and affordable. I love the corduroy texture, too. Available in 5 colors HERE. I wear size S.

12. Textured Top
If you’re looking for a better than basic casual top, this one is great. The texture makes it visually interesting, but it’s still totally casual. Stretchy, too! It runs long so I’m considering tailoring it for my short torso. Super affordable and comes in tons of colors HERE. I wear size S.

amazon nordstrom quince reviews + amazon prime day highlights 2025 + putting me together + yellow sneakers + elastic shoe laces

13. Elastic Shoe Laces
OHMIGOSH, this is such an underrated item! Love sneakers but rather not have to tie laces? Me, too. These elastic shoes laces turn every one of your sneakers into slip-ons! In the pic above, I swapped the original tie laces for the elastic ones, and now I wear these sneakers so much more. Find them HERE.

14. Cozy Cardigan
Soft, lightweight, and warm! I barely show this thing on the blog but wear it soooo often. (Wearing it right now!) Love it!

15. Slip
Super helpful to smooth things out in thin and/or formfitting dresses and skirts. The waist laceband helps it lay flat against you and not dig into you, which would create more bumps. This is my fave style.

Reviews from Nordstrom

amazon nordstrom quince reviews + amazon prime day highlights 2025 + putting me together + white and gray striped blouse + kut from the kloth wide leg jeans + ivory sandals

1. Nordstrom KUT From the Kloth Wide Leg Jeans
You know the KFTK wide leg jeans have been a fave. They are certainly Courtney’s favorite (our PMT Style Club Community Manager and stylist). They are BUTTERY soft, and they’re thick but still so soft, flexible, and easy to wear.

I am looking for wide leg jeans in a mid wash with a vibrant blue, and the color of this pair is great! They’re totally comfy! However, the KFTK wide legs’ rise is always slightly lower than I prefer — doable, but not my ideal. So, I’ll hang onto these but continue to look around, and I’ll keep these if I can’t find a better pair in a reasonable time. They’re SO COMFY and feel so buttery. It’s hard not to love that. Find them HERE. I wear size 4.

2. Nordstrom Gauze Top
This style has been popular through several different seasons. It’s so versatile and classic. I already have a top like this, but I wanted to try this one since I know many PMTers are looking for one that’s currently in stock. This one’s good and worth trying! (Especially since Nordstrom offers free shipping and free return shipping on all orders.)

It’s 100% cotton, so it’s thick and structured but made of fabric that should breathe. It’s still thicker than I prefer shirts to be in the summer, but if you like some structure in made-for-summer fabrics, this is a good option. Also available in solid colors. See them all HERE. I’m wearing size S.

amazon nordstrom quince reviews + amazon prime day highlights 2025 + putting me together + white and gray striped blouse + kut from the kloth wide leg jeans + tan sandals + white utility jacket

3. Nordstrom Utility Jacket
I’ve been back and forth on whether I need a white jacket, and I’ve had my eye on this ever since creating the Summer Wardrobe & Outfit Guide. It’s a good summer-weight option — 100% cotton, gauzy, and lightweight.

The fit is good! Not too boxy and drapes pretty well. Plus, it’s 33% off! It comes in white, navy, and beige. I’m wearing XS as it runs a bit big. Size S doesn’t look too oversized on me, so if you want something a tad looser, try both sizes! (Nordstrom offers free shipping and return shipping, remember?)

UPDATE: This exact jacket is now sold out, but you can check out a similar one from the same brand HERE.

I think a jacket like this pairs better with structured bottoms, like jeans, utility pants, and chino shorts versus soft flowy pants and shorts. If you tend to wear flowy pants and soft shorts in the summer, something that feels more like canvas might be a better option for you. If you stick with more structured bottoms, a jacket like this is worth trying.

Amazon Favorites (Other)

amazon nordstrom quince reviews + amazon prime day highlights 2025 + putting me together + other amazon favorites

I also included reviews for a few non-fashion Amazon products I love!

1. Portable Steamer
This is a MUST-HAVE in your wardrobe toolbox! I NEVER iron. But, steaming I can do! It’s way less setup, a lot faster, and less cumbersome. If you don’t have one, definitely get one!

2. Heatless Curlers
I bought these to use less heat on my hair, but my kids have used them more than me. They love them, and I love that they’re not damaging their hair to get the curls. We bought two kinds of heatless curlers, and they like this set more.

3. Microfiber Hair Towel
Good for both adults and kids. Better for hair — reduces frizz and breakage. They’re particularly good for my kids who can tie these up by themselves.

4. Nippies Covers
Big NO on strapless bras? Try these stick-on covers! I wore these for several special occasion evenings and danced the night away. They’re sticky, stay on, washable, and reusable. Definitely a must to have in your wardrobe toolbox!

5. Makeup Mirror
I replaced my old mirror with this one. The design has been good with bright light and sleek design.

6. GoToob Toiletry Travel Bottles
My favorite travel bottles. Been using them for decades! Large opening and easy to clean. Love!

7. Packing Cubes
Unfortunately, the ones I’ve owned for nearly 20 years (!!!!!!!!!) are no longer in stock. And mine are so good that I haven’t had to replace them or try any new ones. But, you should DEFINITELY get some during Prime Day if you’re in need! They make packing SO MUCH BETTER. More organized. More streamlined. More peaceful. I recommend getting a different color for each member in your family!
