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
… 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
In that final home stretch of 2024 and waffling between wanting to plan out every second of my day/week/month and needing to also just fly by the seat of my pants. Holding on for dear life and telling myself to just enjoy the ride 🤪
When the boys go down for bed, sometimes it feels akin to crossing the finish line of a marathon! With my @therabody Theragun Sense, now I’m able to unwind and relax from the #WorkoutCalledLife. With step-by-step prompts on an LCD screen (and accompanying app), the Theragun Sense guides you through different recoveries depending on what your goals are. Tonight, I’m prepping for restful sleep with a six-minute guided massage! #TherabodyPartner
Halloween 2024 was one for the memory books 🏈 Rory’s first Halloween!! Jack had a blast, Rory loved tagging along, and Mike and I couldn’t stop smiling 🤍 I don’t know how many years I’ll be able to convince the boys to coordinate their costumes so really taking advantage- I bought Jack’s football player costume (customized!) and sewed Rory’s football bubble myself (Jack asked if he could throw him, which was a resounding and firm, “no.”). Now time to raid Jack’s stash 😛
#AveenoPartner If your little one has eczema prone skin, try switching to @aveenous’s Baby Daily Care Wash during bath time to cleanse without drying out their skin. We also use Aveeno Baby Eczema Therapy Nighttime Moisturizing Body Balm before bed to intensely moisturize and help protect Rory’s skin from moisture loss! Not only does his skin feel and look healthier, he’s so much more comfortable too! You can buy both of these products today on Amazon!
With @marthastewart48’s @netflix documentary releasing today, I invited some friends (👋🏻 @samanthavarvel and @shihstitches) over to my studio to peruse my new-to-me collection of @marthastewart Living magazines. I grew up with a “Martha Stewart Mom” and read her magazines every month alongside her. They have brought back so many memories, and they are serving up new inspiration now! I used to want to be a magazine editor, I’m sure influenced by magazines like Martha Stewart Living, and now that I’ve had a chance to revisit them, it’s not a crazy surprise I ended up as a blogger-turned-influencer. I’ve always loved this, and it’s a good thing. 🫶🏻

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