We’ve made it to the end of the week! This week has felt nonstop and I’m sure it’s because we just came off of Spring Break and it feels like we had to hit the ground running with no time to come up for air. Unpacking, laundry, cleaning house, grocery shopping, PTO, T-ball practice, taxes (ugh!), not to mention all the business/logistic things and emotions still to be dealt with when you lose someone. I told y’all about the motorcycle sign we received from my Dad shortly after he passed, and this week my Mom got her precious sign. So beautiful. It’s still kind of surreal, but we are all handling it as best as we can be. Having such amazing friends and family has been the best support. Thank you too for your kind words and well wishes. They are truly heartfelt.
I took a couple weeks off of my usually Friday Weekend Steals & Deals, and I’m bringing it back today. Having some sense of normalcy in this world also helps. We’ll be participating in our son’s school Gala soon so I was out looking for a dress and couldn’t help but see so much cute stuff out lately.
I’ve been wearing my jean jacket nonstop. It was perfect for traveling and wearing on the airplane recently too. Most of the time jean jackets are kind of stiff and heavy, but this one is lightweight and soft. It’s one of my favorite purchases this year! For reference, I’m wearing the xs. It mixes well with an inexpensive statement necklace from Target. 🙂
Topshop u-neck tank ($18) also in grey & white – scoop this up before it sells out again!
white jeans (similar) | pink gingham shirt (weird that it was on sale in the store ($40), but not on the site) pink shirt (similar on sale) | bag
Y’all know I’m crazy for these Vince Camuto sandals. They’re still on sale and are super comfortable.
Another item on repeat over here are my distressed jeans. I’m wearing them with everything.
I found this other pair in a lighter wash that looks good too.
For a bold pop of color, try these red skinnies! They are by Treasure & Bond, the same company that makes the black jeans I’m wearing in the first pics.
Treasure & Bond Crop Skinny Jeans $88, $52.88
And these pastel skinnies are so cute too.
Jolt Mid Rise Skinny Jeans $44, $26.40
more sale goodness
I’m hooked on blouses like these for everything from work to PTO to just wanting to look more polished than just wearing a t-shirt. So easy to wear and the patterns make them more interesting.
Caslon Pleat Front Cap Sleeve Blouse $48, $28.80
Pleione Split Neck Blouse (regular & petite) $48, $28.80
Pleione also has these new colors/patterns, but they aren’t on sale.

Frenchi Laser Cut Skater Dress $42, $25.20
Add a colorful necklace and you’re good to go!

How about some cute bracelets to dress up your arm? I found these tassel bracelets in the jr. department at Nordstrom. Never hurts to look there! Accessories are much cheaper!

These blush pink beaded bracelets (mine are the ‘love’ theme) are from the grown up section, but aren’t they lovely?! They come in other colors too.

I'm glad that you and your mom are doing well (or as well as can be). Blessings to you and your family!
Thank you Kathy! I appreciate it!
You and your mom have been on my mind Megan, as well as the rest of your family. I believe in those signs like you received with the motorcycle. On Easter while at my Dad's house we had a bird sign. My Dad and I just looked at each other and smiled with sweet tears in our eyes. It was a precious moment. Lots of pretty fashion finds! Love the pleated cap sleeve blouses and your pink love bracelets. I noticed they had a blue set with "Hope" and I'm going to pick that up for a friend of mine who is ill. xo
Thank you so much Allison. We still miss him so much. I saw that blue set on sale yesterday and then looks like it was sold out today:( Hope it comes back!
Beautiful statement necklace & cobalt flats from the 1st ensemble!
Happy Sunday Megan 🙂
