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!
Nothing says summer to me like finally being able to have dinner outside with our friends. We are gearing up for al fresco dining with @mackenziechilds pieces in their iconic Royal Check– the blue and white pattern couldn’t be more “me” and fits in perfectly with my summertime aesthetic. I especially love that each #mackenziechilds handcrafted piece has a unique signature of its own and no two pieces are identical.

Move over coastal grandmother, it’s going to be a red hot summer for me ❤️💃🏻🔥 I am love-love-loving red lately and I am incorporating the hue more and more into my everyday outfits. It’s a little bolder than I typically go for and, even though I’m three months postpartum, I’m feelin’ it! 👉🏻 Leave a comment saying “red” and I’ll send you the links to my outfits featured in the Reel!
My little roar-bear and I made it through the fourth trimester together 🧸 These past twelve weeks have flown by. I can’t wrap my head around the fact that we only just met- I feel like I have known Rory my whole life.
I have been calling myself a Chill Mom™️ since having Jack and now I’m realizing that I’m even chiller with Rory. (Like is birth order really less about sibling order and more about the version of mom you’re born to?) I’ve been just rolling with Rory’s infancy and I’m so much happier. Maybe it’s just that I’m more tired with a toddler too, or know that it’s going to go by so fast, or just have more confidence… probably a combination. I feel less obsessive and less stressed out by the details. I’m “making it” without having to fake it. As an example, today I noticed I hadn’t tracked a single nap- just watching sleepy cues and trying to get to a “good enough” pattern as Rory’s naps consolidate. Is he following a ~perfect~ nap schedule? No. Are we thriving? Frankly, yes!
(If you want to read my original Chill Mom post, comment “chill mom” and l’ll send it to you via DM!)
We came, we saw elephants, we ate ice cream 🐘🦒🦓 @ashleybrooke and I always talk about how we became FAST friends. Somehow we have been right there with each other during some of life’s worst moments… so it’s extra sweet that we now get to celebrate the good ones! Watching our boys play together, a little baby in a stroller, and another baby on the way… it’s everything we dreamed of.
What an adorable outfit! Love the skirt!
