It's time for another real outfit roundup, a post in which I share the outfits I wore in real life from the past two weeks. This post is going to be short. I started back to work last week, and I did not take a single picture of anything I wore to clean and set up my classroom. So I only have five outfits to share with you this go 'round.
As a reminder, I do upload all of the outfits I document to my LTK shop within a couple of days of having actually worn it, so you can always stay up to date there. Just download the app and follow me (@Mommy_the_Journalist). My shop does not only feature my outfits; you'll also find favorite products, shopping guides, and more.
For those of you who have been around awhile, you've probably noticed that I no longer share daily outfit pics on my Instagram. I've been trying to be more intentional - and realistic - with how I post there and have started doing weekly outfit roundups. Those also post to my Facebook page for those of you who follow me there. This is where you can get the most accurate glimpse of what's going on behind the scenes of the blog, and Facebook is where I post direct links to new blog posts.
Something new I've started is sharing my outfits on a dedicated Pinterest board. This is still a work in progress and not always the most up to date, but if you use Pinterest definitely give it a follow!
Finally, if you haven't joined my email list yet, I encourage you to do so. At the beginning of each month, I send out a newsletter that recaps everything that's been happening. I also send alerts for special posts such as my book club reviews and gift guides. I promise not to spam you!
I think that's all I wanted to share with you guys. Now let's get to the reason why you're here: the outfits! As I said, this post is really short. I started back working last week and didn't put a whole lot of effort into my outfits since I knew I was going to be cleaning and setting up my classroom (a.k.a. getting hot and dusty).
Sizing info: I'm 5'2" and weigh about 140 lbs. I usually wear size 6 or s/m in clothes and size 7 in shoes.
We're going all the way back to July 26th with this first outfit. It was a Saturday, and we mostly just hung out at the house. I'm pretty sure it was rainy.
This Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers 1986 concert tee is one of my favorites. I wear it so much more than it actually shows up in pictures. It's surprisingly versatile. Unfortunately, it's no longer available, and I can't find anything that really matches it. I did link to another TP&H concert tee by the same brand, but it really doesn't look anything like this one.
My sandals are really old. In fact, the company that made these is no longer in business. However, this style of sandal is pretty common. I'm linking to a pair that looks exactly the same.
My sandals are really wearing thin now, y'all. I think this is their last summer. They've been such good casual slides, though, and I've gotten so much use out of them.
This dress, which is unfortunately no longer available, has been such a good one for the season. I didn't want to layer anything over or under it, but I wanted to accessorize it in some way, so I added this neutral-colored woven belt. I really like how it accentuates my waist, and it felt like it helped keep the dress from shifting as much throughout the day.
My sandals are still available in all sizes online. These are my go-to white sandals. Size up half; the straps are pretty snug.
That brings us to last Saturday. We decided to drive to a neighboring town for lunch and then walked through their shops. That evening we went out for dinner at our favorite Mexican restaurant.
The next day was another day spent at home. We did go somewhere for supper, but it wasn't anything special.
These shorts continue to be a favorite. They feel a bit more structured than linen shorts, and I honestly love that the horizontal stripes on the pockets contrast the vertical stripes everywhere else. This go 'round I paired them with this Andiamo tee that I got from Shein. While I do love the print, I'm disappointed in this shirt. It's one of those overlays so it's all crinkly, which means I won't get as much wear out of it as I had planned.
We're jumping forward quite a bit to Thursday and the last day of July. Alexis and I went to Panera for lunch, making the most of our last days of summer vacation.
On Friday I had a hair appointment to trim my hair and reshape the cut. Then we went to lunch and did a little last-minute back-to-school shopping.
This is one of my favorite dresses. I love the bright, colorful floral print, and it's a classic cut that won't ever go out of style. This is one that I layer over and under other pieces to be able to wear it to school, as well.
This dress is from back in the Spring. I love the green stripes and the tie detail at the bust. The straps are adjustable with scalloping for extra detail. The material is also textured (kind of like seersucker), which provides extra interest. All of that combines to make this dress a star all on its own. I did, however, add a pretty floral headband to try to tame my hair.
