Outfits Lately & April Wrap Up
Hi friend! Yay for Friday! We celebrated my friend Tarah’s (also my realtor:) birthday last night with such a fun surprise party. Ali-Shaun and friends arranged to have a private chef come to Marianna’s house and cook for us. I was so surprised when I walked in and saw how beautifully Ali-Shaun had arranged it all.
She’s so good at that kind of thing and it was such a treat for all of us! The weather couldn’t have been better and Marianna’s backyard was the perfect entertaining spot. We all pitched in to cover the cost and always do one big group gift. It’s such a fun way to get together and celebrate!
Our creative friend Jamie created the paper menus and Rhonda lent her collection of gorgeous thrifted China plates.
I’m so thankful for this group of friends! Many of them I’ll be spending tonight with at our school’s annual Gala. And, I found a dress that will coordinate perfectly with Brian’s navy suit!

Top • Shorts • Crossbody • Sneakers • Key Chain

Shorts Fit: I’m wearing an XXS (size down)
For comfort, you can’t beat these soft paper bag waist shorts. Perfect for weekend errands or casual summer days.
JEANS OUTFITS

Jeans Fit: I’m wearing a 25P
My trusty Loft jeans are a go-to and they pair well with everything, including this striped tank that I bought in multiple colors.
Top • Jeans • Sandals • Necklace • Earrings
Top Fit: I’m wearing a Medium, size up
Jeans Fit: I’m wearing a 25
Wouldn’t this be a fun Cinco de Mayo outfit?! I’m crazy for the party vibe of this one shoulder bright floral top.

Top Fit: I’m wearing an XS
Jeans Fit: I’m wearing a 25
Again with the brights and one shoulder! These crop jeans are a MUST HAVE in my closet and I’m ready for more colors. They’re 40% off in the pretty blue.
Top Fit: I’m wearing an XS
Jeans Fit: I’m wearing a 25
I like how Target has a mix of casual, dressy, work friendly and weekend outfits. This rusched top also comes in prints.
Top Fit: I’m wearing an XS
Jeans Fit: I’m wearing a 25
These white jeans are almost crop length on the model, but they hit me (I’m 5’1) right at my ankle. I really like the high waist and straight leg combo. They’re very slimming on.
Tee • Jeans • Wedges • Crossbody
Tee Fit: I’m wearing an XS
Jeans Fit: I’m wearing a 25
Gimme this tee in every color! It’s on clearance for under $7 and super soft with a perfectly shaped v-neck.
SKIRT OUTFITS
Top • Skirt • Sandals • Necklace • Bag
Top Fit: I’m wearing an XS
Skirt Fit: I’m wearing an XS
Y’all loved this yellow skirt and I can see why! It’s such a happy color and easy to wear style.
Top Fit: I’m wearing an XS
Top Fit: I’m wearing an XS
Similarly, this striped skirt is versatile for work to weekend and is fully lined with pockets.
DRESSES
Dress Fit: I’m wearing a Small
There are so many good dresses this month! This red baby doll dress is from Amazon and the color is so vibrant and pretty!
Dress Fit: I’m wearing a Small
Another Amazon find, this striped maxi looks good alone or with a belt.
Dress Fit: I’m wearing a XSP
I wore this dress to a work dinner with Brian and got lots of compliments. We went to his favorite restaurant, Brasserie 19.
Dress Fit: I’m wearing a XSP
Sadly, this dress sold out in the white, but it’s still available in a pretty pale yellow.
Dress • Sandals • Necklace • Clutch
Dress Fit: I’m wearing an XS
And this punchy coral is eye catching too. It comes in more colors and is under $30!
Dress Fit: I’m wearing an XS
I almost mistook this dress for my Loft order, but it’s from Target! It’s silky soft and has pockets.
Dress Fit: I’m wearing a Small, size up
This is one of the Amazon dresses that has has almost 50,000 positive reviews for $28. It’s an easy to wear shift dress that comes in tons of colors.
Dress • Sandals • Earrings • Bracelet
Dress Fit: I’m wearing a Small
For dressier events like weddings and graduations, this simple lace shift dress is PERFECT! I love the way it fits and feels on the body. It’s not too bodycon and the lace gives it a feminine vibe.
Dress Fit: I’m wearing a Small
And this dress looks so much more expensive than it is, like something you’d find in a department store. It’s really well made with exquisite attention to detail. It’s on sale for $50.
ACTIVEWEAR
Tee • Leggings • Slip on Sneakers • Water Bottle
Top Fit: I’m wearing an XS
Leggings Fit: I’m wearing an XS
Have you tried the Colorfulkoala leggings yet? They’re as close as they come to Lululemon and I liked them so much I bought 5 pair at the beginning of 2021. They have a comfortable high waist and keep you tucked in in all the right places without being constricting.
SWIM
Coverup Fit: One Size
We had our first pool day last weekend! Jordan has been begging to go and it’s one of our favorite things to do together. This crochet coverup is too cute and definitely calling for a vacation!
PAJAMAS\LOUNGE WEAR
Tank Fit: I’m wearing an XS
Pants Fit: I’m wearing an XS
Did you know that Amazon has a brand that is eco friendly and make with 100% organic cotton? This set is from that line and I also have the shorts, long sleeve top and puffed sleeve shirt.
Pajama Fit: I’m wearing an XS
Jordan keeps begging me for a pair of matching Mommy & Me pajamas, but I told her these don’t come in kids sizes!
You can’t go wrong with a menswear inspired pajama set, especially when they’re as soft as this! I’m crazy for the pretty pink color with contrast piping!
Pajamas Fit: I’m wearing a Small in dusty rose
Top and Bottom Fit: I’m wearing an XS
This pair reminds me of Hawaii and summers spent with my Grandma. It’s an easy set to throw on after a long day in “work clothes”.
DECOR
Y’all know how much I love my Amazon fashion finds, but I’ve also been impressed with their home decor. I’ve been having fun shopping and sourcing home decor for our new house and can’t wait to show you more!
