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!
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
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!
What an adorable outfit! Love the skirt!
