Welcome back to another outfit round up!

This roundup feels very random because there’s a little bit of summer mixed with a little bit of fall. I’m about two and a half months into my new job (which I’m still absolutely loving, by the way!) It all depends on how I’m feeling that day, but no matter what, I don’t let myself wear pajamas because I personally have to get up and get dressed in order to be productive!

These could definitely go into my Work from Home Wardrobe Series, but in full disclosure, the middle two outfits were weekend outfits. I wore the linen shorts to the farmers market and the jeans were for lounging around on a lazy Sunday.

On to the outfits:

Blouse: One New Day (Target) | Skirt: Loft Outlet | Sandals: Old Navy

I am not great at pattern mixing but this felt cute! For some reason, I am really into yellow skirts right now and I loved the cute floral detail on this one. I decided to pair the yellow/floral pattern with a simple black and white stripe, and I think it works because of the contrast of the stripes on the top and skirt, with the flowers in the middle.

T-Shirt: LOFT | Cardigan: Old Navy | Jeans: Karrington Distressed Fray Hem Skinny Jean by JUST BLACK | Sandals: Tommy Hilfiger | Sunnies: Target

This is just a great outfit for fall wearing an adorable t-shirt that says “It’s Fall, Y’all” and has photos of typical fall things like a pumpkin, a dachshund wearing a vest and scarf, a sweater, a hat, a cup of coffee, etc. I could not resist this shirt when I saw it.

T-shirt & Linen Shorts: Old Navy | Sandals: Tommy Hilfiger

I’m absolutely loving this late summer look! And best of all, it’s so comfortable. I wore it to the farmers’ market this weekend and then we had a little picnic lunch in the shade of a tall oak tree. It was the perfect ending to summer. Now, bring on fall!

T-shirt & Cropped Pants: LOFT

It’s fall, y’all! Yes, when I first purchased and wore this shirt, September has just begun. But technically it was meteorological Fall so that totally counts. Also, it was much cooler and less humid in our neck of the woods so I took advantage of the nice weather to break out some of my fall candles and colors.

I’m hoping to keep the outfits coming and with better photos. Thanks as always for sticking with me!

So, these outfits are way more similar than different, but that’s okay. What I like about them is they show how you can slightly dress the skirt up with a nice ruffly cap sleeve blouse or you can dress it down slightly with a lemon tank top. Either way, they’re both fun and comfortable.

Blouse & Shirt: Loft Outlet | Sandals: Old Navy

I wore this outfit during a virtual board meeting for my part-time gig where I was taking meeting minutes. Even though they could only see my face and shoulders, I still felt cute AF and that’s all that matters!

Tank top: Target | Skirt: Loft Outlet | Sandals: Old Navy

I wore this outfit for a day of working a little for my part-time gig and then running errands after. There really isn’t anything much better for summer than a shirt with adorable little lemons on it matched with a yellow skirt. And now I want some lemonade.

I hope y ‘all are having a good summer and appreciate how much yellow is such a happy color!

Hi friends!

It’s been a while since I’ve posted so I wanted to pop in and give some quick updates. I love my blog so much even though maintaining it takes up more time than I seem to have these days, but every time I think about letting it go, I just can’t do it. Life feels pretty routine lately and I doubt anyone is interested in hearing about the monotony of our days, weeks, months, etc. so I haven’t had much to write about–although I have toyed with the idea of doing a day-in-the-life post. What do y’all think?

Anyway, through the monotony, we’ve still had some cool things happen so I’ll share what we’ve been up to lately for those who are interested.

If you’ve been around for a while, you’ve probably read/heard me say that I’ve never really been a t-shirt-and-jeans kind of girl but I’ve recently discovered that I definitely AM a t-shirt-and-shorts kind of gal! Especially with these linen paper-bag type shorts. This outfit was so easy to put together and so comfortable that I wore it out to run errands that included grocery shopping.

T-shirt: Old Navy | Shorts: H&M | Slides: Loft Outlet | Jewelry: Target

You can’t see it in the photo, but the sleeve of my shirt has a really cute embroidered floral detail that adds a little something extra to an otherwise plain t-shirt. I’ve included the photo from Old Navy’s website below to give you an idea of what it looks like.

You can barely make out the cute floral detail on the sleeves, but it really does look nice!

And I liked it so much that I bought another on in a copper color, which would also look great with these shorts. Maybe I’ll try that combo next!

Where have comfy linen shorts been all my life?!

I remember one summer many moons ago when I hated wearing shorts because I thought my legs didn’t look nice enough for them. I, like most people, had these weird hang ups: my legs aren’t toned enough, my knees are too knobby, etc. etc. Then, when I finally got over all of that–because my legs are actually pretty awesome, just like the rest of me–and I did start to wear shorts again, I still hated how short they all were. The 3″ (or less, it seemed) inseam felt like it was always riding up my crotch. But the longer inseams felt too long. (Also, there was a whole summer where I only wore Bermuda shorts, but that’s a story for a different time).

But once I discovered linen shorts, there was no going back. I freakin’ love these things! They’re stylish, they’re comfortable, they can be worn dressed up or down, but mostly THEY’RE COMFORTABLE!

Pay no attention to the cute little dog (aka my shadow) in the background!

Blouse: LOFT | Shorts & Sandals: Old Navy | Denim Jacket: Gap | Jewelry: probably Target | Sunnies: Definitely Target

I picked these up recently and practically live in them. I love the fit, the cute pattern, and they look great on pretty much anyone. That’s not to say that the rest of my cute shorts aren’t in rotation–I actually wore this outfit to take Sebastian to his four-year check up yesterday–but just that I find myself reaching for these first because they’re so great. If you haven’t tried linen shorts yet, please do yourself a favor and go for it! I really don’t think you’ll regret it.
