Welcome to Dressing Room Diaries, where we take you inside our favorite stores to try on all of the must-have pieces to show you how they look, fit, and feel IRL.
I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve been scrolling through clothing online and have thought to myself, I wish I could see how that looks on. While I love the convenience of shopping on my computer, it doesn’t quite compare to the experience of seeing a product in person. So when Paige’s new summer collection dropped (I had my eye on the denim, dresses, and matching sets), I couldn’t wait to hit up the mall to try each piece on. Content creator Kristin Cabatingan beat me to it, and to her I am grateful. The fashionable TikToker is kind of like a personal shopper—she’s always sharing the ins and outs on styling and epic fashion finds. So the fact that she went to the Paige store and snapped pics of everything she tried on could not be more helpful while I do my own online shopping. Here’s everything she tried on in the Paige dressing room.
“This is my ideal go-to summer outfit. I typically have trouble finding a good pair of jeans that will last and are comfortable, but Paige denim never disappoints! And for a layering moment, I’m all about a tweed jacket. It’s one of my staple wardrobe pieces. Not only can you style it with several different looks (a miniskirt, jeans, maxi skirt, or dress), but it’s such a classic piece and will stand the test of time. I have been looking for the one for so long, and this cream version is absolutely perfect. I have been loving timeless looks, and this is such a classic outfit.” — Cabatingan
“Honestly, this has to be my favorite silk dress I’ve ever worn. It’s so flattering and sits on my figure so nicely. My mom asked to borrow it as well, and she agreed. The silk material feels luxurious, and the dress is heavy, meaning it’s great quality. I can’t say enough good things! The shell-inspired halter-neck detail was such a cute touch, too. I’ll be pairing this with heels for a special dinner occasion or with sandals for lunch on the beach in Positano this summer.” — Cabatingan
“Another staple in my summer wardrobe is a cute matching set, and this one is amazing. Could there be a more perfect color for summer? I love how matching sets are so versatile—you can create plenty of outfits with just these two pieces. It’s a look I’ll put on when I’m having one of those ‘I don’t know what to wear’ days. It always looks good, is easy to style, and works when you’re on the go!” — Cabatingan
