How is it the end of August already? I've been saying how I can't believe that summer is over, but now it really is over. Now we just need Mother Nature to jump on board the Fall train and deliver some cooler temperatures.
August seemed to fly by as we got back into the routine of school. Thankfully, it's been a good start to the school year with only minimal issues. Now keep your fingers crossed that Alexis and I manage to avoid all the sickness that's being passed around right now!
As I've gotten back into the school routine, some of my habits have shifted, which I think is reflected in this month's favorites. I actually had a hard time narrowing this list down to just 10 things, and for the first time since March, my list does not include any books (my reading habits are readjusting for the school year). I think you can also see some hints of the fall transition here, as well.
Your favorites seem to be a last hurrah for summer for the most part. Let's dive in!
My Favorites
First Day of School Dress - I am in love with this flutter sleeve, floral print maxi dress from Target. It's a step above a lot of my more casual dresses, but it just feels so perfectly me. I wear a small in this brand.
Warners Seamless Underarm Smoothing Bras - I needed some new basic bras, so I decided to give these a shot, and I am so impressed. These bras are so freaking comfortable, I forgot I was wearing one! I started with two, then went back and bought them in all the colors. Definitely follow the size chart when buying. I just knew that the small wasn't going to work for me, but it did, and the medium would have absolutely been too big. I got mine from Walmart, but they're also available on Amazon.
Yellow Striped Skirt - This skirt is actually part of a set, but I haven't worn them together yet. It is so much fun, and I have big plans for it.
Conair Double Ceramic 1/2 inch Curling Iron - Over the last few months, the natural texture of my hair has changed. I had started to notice it toward the end of the school year, but when I got it cut at the beginning of summer, it was really obvious. It just isn't curling like it used to, but I've gotten used to wearing my hair that way. This half-inch curling iron is the perfect tool to achieve the look I want. You can see how I use it here.
Satin Scrunchie - I got this as a free gift in my last Il Makiage order, but I have been using it every day, so it definitely deserves a mention. Il Makiage doesn't actually sell scrunchies, so I'm sharing ones made by Kitsch instead. I'm a frequent buyer of random things by them, so I trust these will be good.
Tiny Claw Clips - I don't use these as often as the scrunchie, but I have been using them quite a bit since getting my hair cut. They take me back to the 90s and early 2000s.
e.l.f. O FACE Satin Lipstick in Dirty Talk - My most-used natural-look lipstick bit the dust, so I needed something to replace it with ASAP. This is very similar to the one I had, both in color and finish. I love that the case is magnetic, so I'm not worrying about it coming open in my bag.
Dove Vitality Renewal Firming Body Wash - This is going to sound crazy, but I swear I can see a difference in my skin since using this body wash. I also enjoy the light lilac scent.
Dr. Teal's Oat Milk and Argan Oil Foaming Bath - Y'all know I love some Dr. Teal's bubble bath. This scent is one of my favorites and isn't seasonal.
Your Favorites
Rugged Shark Men's Water Shoes - I guess y'all were getting in those last-minute summer trips to the water. These look like they've been restocked, so if your husband needs a pair, snag them now. My husband wore his a lot this summer.
Stay Wild Vintage Tee - Y'all really like this color purple, huh? This has been at the top of the popularity category for months! Unfortunately, this one is now gone, and I'm not seeing much in this color. However, this particular style of tee is still available, though mostly in solid colors. This is probably the closest to the original tee that started this run of popularity, but it's definitely not purple. I also like this one a lot, but it's also not purple.
Shirred Flutter Sleeve Top - This blouse is so good, y'all. They restocked it once, but it's already starting to sell out.
Woven Belts - Y'all have finally gotten on board with these belts, and I love it! I wear these all the time. They are really versatile and really comfortable. They come in a 4-pack.
White Sandals - These sandals are still available in most sizes, and they're marked down right now, so hurry and snag a pair. I recommend sizing up half -- the straps are very snug, and mine have not loosened any in the nearly two years I've been wearing them.
Neutral Striped Linen Shorts - I'm really surprised that these are still available, but they are in all but one size right now.
Ribbed Tank Tops - These are such a good basic! I have it in five different colors, and I wear them quite a lot, both on their own and layered. They are soft and stretchy and the straps are nice and wide.
Clever Fox Teacher Planner - This is without a doubt the best teacher planner I have used, and I can't stop recommending it!
White Buckle Slides - These have been one of my most-worn summer shoes for the past several summers. I need to replace mine after this year, and this is the pair I'll most likely go with.
Wavytalk Pencil Flat Iron - This is such a great size for short hair, especially the really short pieces in the back (for me).
