Because I work from home, my everyday outfits are pretty lackluster. If I don’t have meetings and I’m going to yoga at night, there’s a high chance that I’ll be in yoga clothes all day. And I’m not going to lie, there are days when I opt for sweatshirts and leggings over anything else.
But then are days when I have meetings and have to actually look somewhat presentable. It rarely makes sense to get super dressed up, business casual at most… Yet, I generally just wear something comfortable and put together so I can go from desk to meeting and back to my desk again.
This Lilly tee and skort combination is one of my recent faves. Last week was a meeting-crazy week and I gladly pulled out the colorful print for a particularly busy day.
I like to keep things simple in terms of jewelry and I finally got my charm bracelet back from the jeweler. I haven’t taken it off! It jingles and jangles in the best way– it’s definitely an eye catcher, too.
Also a note on this t-shirt… It might be the best t-shirt I’ve acquired this summer. It’s cut like a blouse so it works for dinners with girlfriends (just add white jeans and wedges) and is comfortable enough to wear all day. It’s a little bit pricey for a simple tee, but definitely one you can get a lot of use from for years to come.
These are always my favorite outfits – versatility is great! Last Fall, my semester was really weird and had awkward class times, making versatile outfits really important! xx, Mikkaela The Southwestern Prepster
This outfit looks so simple yet so put together! I both teach and take classes at university so I have to make my outfits nice enough for the Spanish class that I teach and comfortable enough for my own grad school seminars! This is a perfect example! Love,
I love this look! I agree – it's always hard to come up with outfits that are casual but still make it look like you're trying, haha. That skirt is so cute, by the way!
When your toothbrush (@shoptrask!) is so cute you ALMOST don’t want to use it! I considered “saving” it (for what? I don’t know) and decided to ignore my instinct and enjoy it every day! I often have to remind myself about the number of stickers I didn’t use as a kid because I was “saving” them… or stationery collecting dust in a drawer because I was “saving” them… or candles that went unlit because I was “saving” them… or even a cute outfit I was “saving” for a special occasion. Trying to be better about using the things I have and love without guilt!!
I’ve been loving wearing my scarf collection and I’ve been getting questions about how I tie them! This is probably the way I wear it most- it’s super easy and the trick is to not be overly fussy with it. Go for it and zhuzh it up a little but don’t make it too perfect! Goal is effortless!
Fold the silk scarf across the middle to create a long triangle. Holding the two corners, twist the triangle back *towards* you a few times. While holding the corners, wrap behind your neck crossing behind you and pulling the corners back to the front of your neck. Tie once, then again to secure. I like to tuck mine into a button down!
PS I got this Hermes scarf as a souvenir while in Paris!
A wild Saturday night around here… and I wouldn’t want it any other way! A relaxing shower, clean hair, cozy bedtime routine, sourdough, laundry, a clean playroom, mahjong, (a little sweet treat… or two), needlepoint, skincare, and a good book! What could be better???
An evening routine as a mom of two with timestamps!
@mackenziechilds has done it again! Say hello to Mocha Check, the latest pattern in the MacKenzie-Childs family. I am loving how the neutral but warm tones brighten up my office space! Swipe to see how I’ve incorporated the pieces throughout my office. #MCPartner #MCMochaCheck
Getting ready for the day and need help picking out which shoe to wear! My whole outfit is head to toe @amazon! Are we feeling the sneakers or the kitten heel mules?

If your goals for 2025 include reading more and having better habits, @audible audiobooks are about to be your best friend! I love listening to audiobooks, especially when they help me become a better person, wife, friend, mom, etc. January is the perfect time to dive into one and cross two of your goals off at once. I’m listening to Mel Robbins’ Let Them Theory and it’s blowing my mind– “let them” is such a simple phrase and yet the impact is POWERFUL.
