Because I loved the black pair so much, I knew I had to get the navy and white. Perfect for summer. I styled them two ways here and know they’re going to look great with so many of my dresses in the coming months. I love how they’re classic and still fun; elevating these outfits just perfectly!
I love Sole Society shoes because they’re reasonably priced, super comfortable, and always stylish. I don’t think I’ve ever had a brand of shoes fit better than Sole Society on first wears. (Seriously though, no blisters.)
The first look is something I’d wear every day if I could. It’s something I would probably wear with flats for comfort, but these sandals are a great alternative for when I need to be just a hint dressier.
When I go to meetings, I definitely try to look a bit more put together without looking too stuffy. I loved matching my new favorite shirtdress with the shoes for added height. The wood detailing of the shoes tied the brown of the belt and bag in.
That first look is amazing! And I am obsessed with that shirt dress. I would totally think about buying these but heels still scare me. I am 5'11'' and anything that makes me even taller makes me extremely uncomfortable. I want to learn how to wear heals for confidently though because there are so many adorable ones out there – especially these!!
Absolutely in love with that shirt dress, and that top in the first outfit is just too cute! I would definitely wear that for an everyday look! Those shoes look comfy and a heel like that would be nice for my barely 5'2" frame! xx, Mikkaela The Southwestern Prepster
I think the first look would be fine for a work outfit too! More than fine! I love how those shoes fit the mold of your feet 🙂 -Audrey | Brunch at Audrey's
Those shoes are SO cute! Do you find they run small at all? I ordered a pair of wedges from Sole Society and my standard 7.5 was too small. I think I might be an 8 with them.
I love those shoes! I always have trouble with wearing heels because I have a low tolerance for the pain I get from wearing them, but i'm psyched to hear there's a comfortable AND cute pair out there!
A block heel sandal is my go-to in the summer months. I was in Ibiza on holiday one year when I noticed that all of the stylish Spanish girls were wearing sandals like these (whilst I tried to hobble in 'proper' heels in the evening) – genius discovery!
I've been following you on Instagram for ages but only just made it across to your blog! Sorry for the delay – love your content Carly : )
I normally wear a 00 in J. Crew dresses (bc of vanity sizing!), but I'm wearing a 2 in this dress. It was sold out in 0s so I took a chance, but I have to say, the 2 fit perfectly! Plus, with the belt, it's easy to pull off the tailored look.
Yup vanity sizing drives me crazy, since I mostly buy stuff online. But.. whoa, that's 2 sizes up then, do you think I should get a 4 a 6? These retailers should just standardized their sizing, so we will shop more!
Haha, I think the two sizes was helpful for me because I have a larger chest and buttons can be a pain (aka they often gape open). The skirt is pretty forgiving either way

✨ leave a comment with “SKIN” and I’ll send you all the products mentioned here ✨
I turned 35 in September and while I’ve always tried to take good care of my skin I wanted to really prioritize skincare from the inside out. At this point, I’m not doing any kind of injectables (not that I’m against them broadly speaking btw... just sharing that I haven’t done anything) and I don’t want to do anything invasive. I have made some small adjustments to my everyday life though that has made a difference. In just a few months, I really think my skin has never looked better (and I include infancy here because I unfortunately had baby acne ) and I’m really feeling good:
– Fresh washcloths after cleansing skin (@weezietowels “makeup” washcloths are cute, super soft, and very practical) – @omniluxled Omnilux Contour Face (this red light therapy mask has CHANGED the game for my skin. I use it 3-4x a week and it only takes 10 minutes per session!) – @jolieskinco filtered showerhead (I’ve noticed a difference in both my skin AND hair) – @ritual HyaCera (one capsule every night– it works from the inside out to help reduce the appearance of fine lines)
While I think my skin looks great on its own right now (🙌🏻 love to say that!), it also is serving as the best base for makeup. Sharing my current everyday routine: – @supergoop Mineral Unseen Sunscreen – @summerfridays Sheer Skin Tint (shade 1) – @merit Bronze Balm Sheer Sculpting Bronzer (shade clay) – @saiebeauty Dew Blush Liquid Cream (shade chilly) – @jonesroadbeauty Shimmer Face Oil (shade cool rose) – @sephora collection Eyebrow Gel (shade ebony) – @honest Extreme Length Mascara – @urbandecaycosmetics 24/7 Glide On Eyeliner (shade demolition) – @iliabeauty Balmy Lip Tint (shade lullaby)
girlhood 🫶🏻 find friends who want to do the same little hobbies as you! Went over to @shihstitches’ house yesterday to give her some sourdough starter and go through the basics (I’m *very much* a beginner so I told her to take my lesson with a grain of salt)
PS convinced her to make an IG account! @blueskyehouse
PPS she’s convincing me I really do need a fancy range like her ✨ stunning ✨ @lacanche.usa
Just a girl searching for the perfect digital planner solution. What I have right now is working, technically speaking, but I’m working across platforms and ideally I’d love everything to be in one place. I also have calendar synesthesia (IYKYK) and I physically feel myself in space moving through my calendar, which makes finding a planner difficult because I want/need it to match up with what I see in my head I know this sounds insane but if you also “see” time, you know what I mean!
Right now I’m using: – Google Sheets to track campaigns/business line items – Google docs for writing/brainstorming – Google/Apple Calendars (somehow they’re integrated and I don’t ask questions because it just works...) – Apple Notes for daily to-dos, random note keeping, and quick jot downs – Apple Reminders for “must dos” esp w/ deadlines – Dropbox for photo/file storage
I’m craving a good ole fashioned paper planner but the reality is that I need it to be digital. I need it to integrate with my calendar and remind me of tasks. I need to be able to access it on my computer when I’m working at my desk and on my phone when I’m on the go. I need structure and flexibility?
Does the perfect digital planner exist?! Do I need to overcome my overwhelm and tackle @notionhq? Is an @apple iPad the solution? Do I just keep doing what I’m doing because it’s technically working?
If you’ve stuck around to the end, I appreciate you 🫡
I created a beautiful, custom silk photo album from @printique_by_adorama to remember my sweet dog Hamilton, who passed away earlier this year. Their layflat album captured the colors and details perfectly, making each photo feel so special. It’s a keepsake I’ll cherish forever, and I’m so grateful for the quality and love they put into every page. #printiquepartner
… and yet you must. This week has been the hardest yet. Pressure from work, pressure from myself, pressure from the world. The magnitude of reality feels too much and too heavy. Showing up for my children though when I can barely show up for myself.
We’ve noticed an improvement in Teddy’s vitality and digestion since switching to @primalpetfoods Kibble in the Raw! It’s the easiest way to give him the benefits of raw nutrition without losing the convenience of dry kibble since it’s freeze dried into bites and completely scoopable. You would never guess he’s 11 years old with these moves at the park! #primalpetfoodspartner #ad

That shirtdress is to die for! I love the belt and bag as well in that look

A good pair of strappy sandals are a must! I love those!

I found that they fit true to size, but it could be different depending on the shape of your foot!
Ooh, love those! I'm a sucker for anything navy and white!
I love those shoes! I always have trouble with wearing heels because I have a low tolerance for the pain I get from wearing them, but i'm psyched to hear there's a comfortable AND cute pair out there!

I'm pretty sure my favorite way is with the shirt dress! The way you knotted your belt is adorable 🙂
