Easter Reflections and Lots of Sales!

EASTER REFLECTIONS

I hope everybody had a wonderful weekend with family and friends. Sunday was Easter and my birthday, so my weekend was full of lots of family time and lots of love. 🙂

I actually had a wonderful week reflecting on all things Holy Week. Several Instagram accounts I follow did a beautiful job recounting the entire week from Palm Sunday all the way through Easter Sunday, and I connected with the stories in a way I hadn’t before. And I know Easter is over, but we still serve a risen Savior, so I wanted to direct you to the accounts that made this week special for me in case you want to read through their words too! My 3 favorites on Instagram are @thegracevalentine, @cleerelystated, and @thegirlnamedblake. They each have several slides that break down each day of Holy Week, and I hope they will encourage some of you like they encouraged me!

SOCIAL THREADS SALE

I was so excited when I found out that there’s a 20% OFF SITEWIDE SALE going down at Social Threads with NO exclusions! They don’t do these site wide sales often, so it’s time to take advantage.

You can click HERE to check out all of their new arrivals.

Code: STMT20

I’m absolutely dying over this dress, especially since it is NOW ON SALE. The brown checks, the double ruffle sleeves, the flattering fit… it’s all so good! Y’all know I’ll pair it with a denim jacket. 😉

These Risen straight leg jeans have no distressing and near perfect reviews. And you can find the red jacket HERE. BOTH ON SALE!

You can go ahead and freak out about these sneakers because they are seriously adorable and NOW ON SALE! And they were the most popular Social Threads item with y’all this past month. There are only a handful left, so they’re going to go fast! Fingers crossed your size is still available.

I love the color combo, and they are very comfy. I’m wearing my regular size here, but I wish I would have sized down a 1/2. (Important info: the first 10 or so minutes I wore them on my wood floors, they squeaked when I walked…. but then they stopped and don’t squeak at all anymore! Whew!)

Click HERE to shop all sneaker colors available (but there are limited sizes).

This layered crew pullover is a perfect basic. It’s incredibly comfy and soft. I’m wearing the “light moss” here, but it also comes in clay (a really pretty neutral), butter yellow, and navy. The sweatshirt is super soft and the little crewneck that is peeking out from the neck and the hem really elevate this sweatshirt and will instantly help you look pulled together. I’m in a medium, and it’s a perfectly relaxed fit and roomy fit. A small would definitely fit, but I like the oversized look of the medium. If you don’t want it quite so oversized, size down. It has 31 reviews, and almost every single one of them is 5 STARS.

I’m sad to report, the jeans are already sold out. 🙁

The pullover and the sneakers are seriously cute with denim shorts too (not from Social Threads, but still ON SALE!).

This Peter Pan collar blouse appears to be stocked in all sizes right now, and it surprised me in all the best ways. In fact, it was one of my Top 3 personal finds last month!

I just think it’s a super cute fit, and I know I will reach for it all the time. It’s hard to tell in my pictures, so I think you should click over to the site to see the really pretty scalloped detailing and pleated ruffles. It’s tailored, but totally feminine and girly. LOVE. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium. It also comes in a really pretty pale pink and now white. I’m ordering the white for sure now that it is ON SALE!

These olive jeans aren’t from Social Threads, but they’re still fabulous. I’ve been having so much fun styling and wearing my cream wide leg jeans that I knew I had to grab these olive wide leg jeans the second I saw them. These are incredibly comfy and have quite a bit more stretch than the cream ones, and the wide leg isn’t quite as wide. I actually like the fit of these better. And my goodness they are the perfect match for this top. For size reference, I’m wearing my regular size 4. I’ll style these pants with solid white, solid black, light pink, and stripes… and that’s just off the top of my head.

And with the denim shorts that are ON SALE too…

As I’m getting older, I appreciate the little bit of extra length in these denim shorts. They aren’t too long at all though, and I would say they are a perfectly respectable medium length. I would also say that they will look a lot better with a tan. 😉 They don’t have a whole lot of stretch in them, so I was glad I grabbed the 28. So many of the shorts on the market today are way too wide in the legs when they fit me in the waist, but I don’t have that problem with these.

If you’ve been following along for a while, then you know that this type of top is a long-time favorite of mine. So no surprise here, I’M FULL BLOWN OBSESSED with this olive tassel tie top. RESTOCKED AND NOW ON SALE!

It has a swingy fit that looks great with both a 1/2 tuck and worn out. It has subtle puff sleeves with an elastic band that reach almost to the elbow, and the colors and pattern on this one are totally unique with the navy, olive, cream, and rust color palette. Because of the seam near the chest, I need a medium for some extra room, but otherwise I think I would prefer the fit of the small.

Super cute with the denim shorts that are ON SALE too…

And I’m sorry, but how flipping cute is this stripe fleece sweatshirt. And I just got the sweatshirt, but there are matching joggers too ladies. I feel like I might need them as well, right? I mean, who am I to deny a set this cute. Especially when they are both NOW ON SALE!

The sweatshirt is lined with a light fleece, it’s super soft, and the colors are so vibrant! For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.

J CREW SALE

I covered another J Crew Sale a couple of weeks ago, but there’s another 40% OFF SALE going on right now so I wanted to show y’all my spring and summer outfit plans again when you can grab it ALL ON SALE.

AND LISTEN. I’ve got to be honest, I LOVE J Crew clothes, but their regular pricing is pretty dang high. Luckily, they seem to run sales pretty often and the prices can actually be reasonable when ON SALE.

This classic swimsuit comes in 6 colors and is made out of that great scrunchie fabric. And look at this FABULOUS sarong.

Another way to style the swimsuit would be with denim shorts. And then if you’re at the beach and want to head to lunch, you could throw this scalloped tee on top to be restaurant ready.

I’m in love with the shorts. I love the peasant blouse too. And as you can see, the accessories really do liven up any outfit!

Here you see the same shorts, bucket hat, sunglasses, tote, sandals, and accessories you’ve seen in the 3 above outfit plans. But here I’ve just styled them with a regular ol’ tee. And the result is so cute!

I have a couple more pieces to show you that J Crew was nice enough to send to me. Sadly, they aren’t included in the 40% OFF sale, but they are realllllllllly good, so I still want to show them.

This lace lilac blouse is beautiful. It’s delicate and feminine and just plain pretty. It also comes in white and black. It’s super lightweight and just a little bit sheer, so you might want to wear a cami under it. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.

I love it with the denim shorts (above) and the cream wide leg jeans (below).

It’s super cute with this barn jacket layered on top. This jacket seems to be excluded from any sale, and it’s admittedly expensive, but it’s awesome.

AI did a summary of the reviews for me, and I have to say I whole-heartedly agree! Customers really appreciate the jacket’s versatile style and quality construction, which make it a perfect choice for both casual and business settings. They love the fresh color options and unique silhouette that work well for travel and everyday wear. Overall, the jacket stands out as a timeless, well-made piece that adds a polished look to any wardrobe.

I would suggest sizing down. I’m wearing a small.

It looks great with a simple white tee too.

And do you remember my glasses? They’re still on sale for $19, and I love them.

I’m still digging the Toms buckle wedge sandals. They are insanely comfortable, very easy to walk in, and I love the height they give me! I’m wearing my regular 6 1/2, but I’m actually thinking that sizing up a 1/2 size might be a good idea.
