New Outfits from Anthropologie, Abercrombie & More
Hi friend! Yay for Friday! We have back to back football games tonight and then two birthday parties on the agenda for tomorrow. We’ll definitely be heading to the pool after that because it’s gonna be HOT- 100 degrees!
We had a fun week on the blog, if you missed it, I recapped our Miami mother/son trip and included lots of fun things to do in Miami with kids.
You also got a peek of my new short haircut (thank you for the compliments!) and some ideas for what to wear on 4th of July. I can’t believe it’s in just two weeks!
I also shared a new Tuesday Goodies and I’ve already started on my next puzzle. It’s so cute – Dogs of NY! The kids have been helping me and it’s a great thing to do inside in the air conditioning.

New Outfits from Anthropologie, Abercrombie & More
Today’s dressing room post is a mix of Abercrombie and Anthropologie, with a few pieces from Nordstrom, Walmart, Bloomingdale’s and Talbots.
My Size Reference: I’m over 40, short (5’1) and petite, weighing about 110 lbs. I typically wear size 0p/25 jeans, XSP/XS in tops and dresses.
JEANS OUTFITS
Top • Jeans • Clear Wedges • Similar White/Wooden Handle Clutch • White Bracelets
Such a fun tee with the bold colors and floral pattern. It has a v-neck, double stitching and ruffled shoulder. It’s super soft being made of organic cotton.
I’m smitten with these crop jeans! The color is so pretty in person- a pinky/coral combo that’s fun and vibrant for summer. They’re a high waist, 5 pocket style with plenty of stretch and flattering fit. Also in black and white.

Top • Jeans • Similar White/Wooden Handle Clutch • White Bracelets
Top • NYDJ Jeans • Braided Sandals • Ruched Bag • White Bracelets
The top also looks great with the white ankle jeans. I’ve had this pair for a few years now and return to them again and again. The ankle length is especially perfect for summer and they have a special “lift/tuck” technology that makes them extra figure flattering.

Top • NYDJ Jeans • Braided Sandals • Ruched Bag • White Bracelets
Bandeaux Top • NYDJ Jeans • Woven Bag • White Bracelets
I paired these jeans with this lightweight bandeaux top and wore it to dinner when I went with Elliott to meet his parents a few weeks ago. We went to Savoir in the Heights and it was so yummy!
The top is comfortable with a smocked bandeaux top and waist that you can fold under or leave bloused.

Bandeaux Top • NYDJ Jeans • Woven Bag • White Bracelets
Crop Racerback Tank • Jeans • Circle Bag • White Bracelets • Pearl Sandals
The pinky/coral jeans also look great with this striped racerback tank. It’s a halter style, so it covers your chest and shows off your shoulders.
Top Fit: I’m wearing an XS
Jeans Fit: I’m wearing a 0P
Crop Racerback Tank • Jeans • Circle Bag • White Bracelets
Crop Racerback Tank • Paige Jeans • Clear Wedges • Circle Bag • White Bracelets
I also like this top with my favorite Paige Cindy jeans. I have them in both the white and light blue (“park ave”).
They feel so soft on your skin and have a high waist and raw edge hem.
Style Tip: Since they were a little long on me, I took a sharp pair of scissors and cut about an inch off the length. Then, I took the blade of the scissors and roughed up the hem. Throw them in the washer and dryer and they’ll come out with a perfectly frayed hem. 😉
Top Fit: I’m wearing an XS
Jeans Fit: I’m wearing a 25
Crop Racerback Tank • Paige Jeans • Clear Wedges • Circle Bag • White Bracelets
Tank • Paige Jeans • White Bracelets • Woven Clutch • Clear Wedges • Coin Necklace
This top is a henley style tank in the prettiest aqua color. The buttons are functional and it comes in 5 colors. One of each, please!

Top • Jeans • Clear Wedges • Wooden Bag • White Bracelets
One Shoulder Tee • Paige Jeans • Clear Wedges • White Bracelets • Coin Necklace
This top is giving me high school vibes! Did/do you like Guns ‘n Roses?! I remember my high school boyfriend (Eric Singer!) had long hair and used to always wear concert tees. Even though I was a cheerleader, I always went for the rocker type. So funny! Fun fact: I was obsessed with Poison and Bret Michales.
The tee is one shoulder and a lived in, casual style. The band is coming to Houston soon, maybe we’ll go?! I wore this outfit to Goode Co. Taqueria the other weekend.

I loved this crochet top with scallop detail so much, I just wish I would’ve sized up, it’s pretty crop. I pulled it down a bit in the front for the photo. It’s just darling in person!

SHORTS OUTFITS
Top • Shorts • White Bracelets • Woven Clutch • Braided Sandals
Abercrombie has such a fun selection of tops and shorts. This one shoulder top with bold palm print is so cute and I love the statement sleeve on it.
The shorts are a high waist, cotton/linen blend. They’re a pull on style with a stretchy, elastic waist, drawstring tie and pockets.

Shorts Fit: I’m wearing an XS
Top • Shorts • White Bracelets • Woven Clutch • Braided Sandals
Tank • Shorts • Slides • Coin Necklace
I found a new pair of jean shorts to LOVE!! These are the high rise MOM jean from Abercrombie and they fit so well! I got the “Medium” color with a stitched hem, but they also come in raw edge hem for a more casual look.
These sewn hem shorts are the pair you want to wear when you want a chic looking jean short with a high waist, but not all chewed up and distressed.
Tank Fit: I’m wearing an XS

Tank • Shorts • Slides • Coin Necklace
SKIRT OUTFITS
Top • Jean Skirt • Clear Wedges • White Bracelets • Woven Bag
I like to show you ways to mix and match different pieces in your wardrobe, so here’s another way you can style the striped ruffle neck top. I paired it with the cutest jean skirt from Walmart. I love this style of this skirt and how it has that hem detail in the front, and a raw edge hem.

Skirt Fit: I’m wearing a 0
Top • White Bracelets • Woven Bag
Top • Skirt • Clear Heels • White Bracelets • Coin Necklace
This looks like a dress, but it’s actually a top and skirt combo. The pattern is a gorgeous pastel floral print with pops of teal. The top has a flattering ruched and smocked detail with adjustable spaghetti straps.
The skirt is a beautiful tiered maxi length and has a high waist. Both pieces are lined.

DRESSES
Dress • Braided Sandals • Wooden Bag • White Bracelets • Coin Necklace
This dress is absolutely gorgeous in person! It’s a beautiful ikat print, fully lined with a halter neckline. I’m excited to bring this dress with me to Mexico when Elliott and I go this month. I can totally see wearing this to a lovely lunch or romantic dinner in the city.
Dress Fit: I’m wearing a 0P
Dress • Sandals • Woven Belt • Wooden Bag • White Bracelets • Coin Necklace
Dress • Clear Heels • White Bracelets • Coin Necklace
Y’all, this chiffon dress is so playful with the mini skirt style, but also feels dressed up because of the delicate material. You could wear this to a wedding or party and feel fantastic in it. I love the pleated detail and slight sweetheart neckline.
Dress Fit: I’m wearing a XSP
Dress • Clear Heels • White Bracelets • Coin Necklace
Dress • Strappy Heels • Orange Bag • Coin Necklace • Gold Bangles
This short sleeve dress is one of Anthropologie’s best rated and best selling dress EVER! I can see why because it’s so cute and definitely work to weekend friendly.
It’s got a structured look to it but with a playful and comes in several different colors and patterns and pockets. I’m wearing “light mauve.”
Dress Fit: I’m wearing an XSP
Dress • Orange Bag • Coin Necklace • Gold Bangles
Dress • Strappy Heels • White Bag • Coin Necklace • Gold Bangles
This dress is similar, but in a maxi length. I’m usually a neutrals gal, but I’m loving the bold colors in this dress against the cool blue background. And it has pockets!

Dress • Strappy Heels • White Bag • Coin Necklace • Gold Bangles
Mini Dress • Strappy Heels • Lavender Saddle Bag • Coin Necklace • Gold Bangles
Yay! I found another dress to bring to San Miguel with me next month! Elliott and I are going for his birthday – it’s a place he’s always wanted to visit, but has never been. I’m so looking forward to it.
He booked several restaurants for the evenings, and I think this dress will be perfect for one of those dinners! It’s got a lively paisley print in a gorgeous pink/blue/orange combo, smocked top with a deep v, and ruffled sleeves.
Dress Fit: I’m wearing an XXS
Mini Dress • Lavender Saddle Bag • Coin Necklace • Gold Bangles

Oooh, how chic is this white midi dress?! It’s got a mock neck, cap sleeve and front thigh slip. It’s fully lined with ruched detail down the sides which creates such a flattering silhouette. I adore this for a summer party!

ATHLEISURE
Traveler Mini Dress • Sneakers • Crossbody • Coin Necklace • Gold Bangles
Abercrombie’s Traveler’s dresses are a hot seller because they combine comfort and style in one easy piece. The cool thing about this dress is that it’s a stretchy activewear material dress, but with built-in bike shorts underneath. This is perfect for running around, sightseeing or travel. The spaghetti straps are adjustable and there’s lots of colors to choose from. I’d like another in a more colorful option.
Dress Fit: I’m wearing a XSP and there’s still plenty of room in the hips
Traveler Mini Dress • Sneakers • Crossbody • Coin Necklace • Gold Bangles
Traveler Easy Waist Mini Dress • White Bracelets • Coin Necklace
A similar dress is this mini dress with a tank style top, smocked waist, but still with the shorts underneath.

And it also comes in a romper. I really like the elastic drawcord at the waist (so sporty!) and wide waistband. It’s also regular bra friendly.

SWIM COVERUPS
Top • Pants • White Bracelets • Clear Wedges • White Bracelets • Coin Necklace
It’s time for cute coverups! How fun are these pants?! I think you could wear them for a dressier occasion too because the material is a silky crinkle knit. They pull on over your hips with an elastic waist and pockets. The coral color is so pretty in person.
Pants Fit: I’m wearing a XS Short
Top • Pants • White Bracelets • White Bracelets • Coin Necklace
Swimsuit • Pants • White Bracelets • Hat • Coin Necklace
You can’t go wrong with a pair of white coverup pants. This pair is gauzy perfection with a comfy pull on high waist and fun side slit.

I really like some of the outfits in this post, but I think some of them are “too young” for your general audience. A few of the dresses are just too short for your age group. That blue sun dress looks like something a teenager would wear.
I sometimes think your chosen size of XS appears way too tight/short/small on you- even with a petite frame. Not everything needs to be so tight and short.
And leave the rock band t shirts to the younger girls.
All ages can like rock music and wear rock band shirts. What are you even talking about?!!🤣🤣🤣. That’s so weird.
Even Elliott like that tee!
Yes, we all have our opinions. I love that GNR shirt!
Totally agree Larkin, some of these are way too short…. I really like this blog otherwise.
What an unkind comment to take the time to post. You don’t get to decide what this content creator’s audience wants to see–she does, and it seems as though her audience enjoys what she posts. She also gets to decide how to dress her own body, regardless of her age or her size. Everybody does, even you. Personally, I appreciate all of her outfits and choices, and I proudly wear my rock band t shirts and will continue to, no matter what age I am.
100% !
I think you look AMAZING in everything! If I had your figure, I would wear whatever I wanted also! Keep rocking it and doing you.
You’re so sweet Angie, I appreciate it!
The long white dress looks amazing on you…my favorite!
Thanks Andrea, that one is so different and I loved how it draped.
Goodness! You look GREAT!
Wear what makes YOU happy! Wear what makes YOU feel good in your skin! Wear what makes YOU feel confident!
You so graciously share these finds with us and it is SO appreciated!! Do I love every single outfit you post? No, thankfully lol or I would be BROKE! But they fit you and your body type and personality well! So keep doing YOU!
Ladies….we need to do better! This is NOT what I want my teen daughter to think is normal or okay! If you don’t like it, move along. There are thousands of other blogs that cater to different age groups, styles etc!
I live 15 miles south, outside of Houston and I totally enjoy following a local lady near my age! KEEP DOING YOU!
Hi Stephanie, we’re neighbors! I really like your message. Fashion should be fun and make you feel good in your own skin. 🙂
Very nice outfits. I noticed your cute puppy (can’t remember his name) is always so adorable when we see him on your blog. WHEN did he get a haircut???? We would enjoy seeing his cute little face. I always thought he had so much hair right in front of his eyes. I even held some strands of own my hair in front of both my eyes one time to see how it felt , and it was so uncomfortable.
Hi Jo! He got a cute summer cut! I try to keep it shorter around his eyes so he can see. I was late on that when he was younger, poor guy!
Great Megan, thanks for letting me know. I remembered his name after I wrote you, and I believe it’s Luke.
I’m sure you’re the best Mom to him and kitty. I also can’t believe how tall your son has grown when I saw you both on your trip to Miami.
I’m loving all clothes selected, great choice!!!
