It’s Friday, so y’all know what that means! It’s time to link up with Erika and Andrea to let everybody know what some of my favorite things are right now.

THE MOTHERCHIC TOTE BAG
Y’all!!!!! The Motherchic tote bag is BACK! I styled mine all fall and winter long, but look how great it is for summer too! I’ll be styling it for summer too (I can’t wait to play around with some of my bag straps), but I wanted to go ahead and post the bag just in case it sells out quickly (like last time).
striped tote / bag strap options
If the tote is too big for you (it comes in a medium and a large), you can find a small camera bag HERE.
They also have lots of bag strap options at Social Threads, and you can find some strap options at Amazon too.
Also at Social Threads, this weekend you can get 30% OFF lots of DARLING red, white, and blue items with the code FIREWORKS30.

AMAZON NECKLACE BACK IN STOCK
I first featured this beaded necklace back in May, but the colors I featured sold out immediately, and so many of you were so disappointed!
WELL, IT’S BACK BABY! There are tons of color options, but I initially featured the orange and the “balloon party”. It’s the “balloon party” that I’m wearing in all of today’s pictures. I’m afraid it might sell out again, but they also added a “multicolor” option that’s similar. I’m loving the necklace, I’m wearing it constantly, and I’m getting tons of compliments on it, so I was thrilled to see it back! It’s a great way to add some extra style and color to your outfits, but without wearing a dated pendant necklace.
I’m going to show it styled in several outfits…
I have this tee in 3 colors. The price is right, and it really is the perfect basic tee for me. It’s got a relaxed fit and a bit of thickness to it. I mean, it’s not too thick, but it’s not thin either. It really is the perfect weight. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.
relaxed fit tee / must have shorts / white and gold hoop earrings / beaded necklace/ H band slide sandal
I don’t usually go for purple, but I thought this mauve was a great dusty purple. Get it. Get it in several colors.

This white swing dress is adorable and I’m so thrilled to have found it. It also comes in black and spice, but I love how the white is so fresh and summery. It’s got a slip lining, but I’ll still have to wear a nude bra and undies with it for sure. The cut-out details are nice, and I love the the drop ruffle hem. I’m wearing a small here, and although I wish it were a little bit shorter, the petite was too short on my 5’4″ frame. I think if not accessorized well, this dress could lean to kind of a nightgown look, but I love it. And it has pockets!

I thought this mustard color looked great with the necklace, and I think this dress is adorable. See how short it is on me? I’m wearing a petite, and I don’t need a petite. I just need a regular small. I do think it would be okay for those 5’2″ and under. When wearing wedges, this looked wayyyyyy too short…so I paired it with flat sandals instead, although it still looked super short.This one could easily be worn into early fall and would look cute with a denim jacket.

THIS DRESS IS DARLING.
For size reference, I’m wearing a 6, which is often true to size for me in dresses. (I sometimes even have to get an 8 to accommodate the girls and my massive rib cage, but the 6 worked for me in this dress.)

A FAVORITE DRESS IS BACK IN STOCK
I’ve got another restock, y’all. Lots of restocks on today’s post, but they are all items I love and adore, so it seems right to share them again.
This gauzy little A-line dress is the newest Madewell dress in my collection, and I can’t quit wearing it. And I have no doubt I’ll be wearing it years from now. This is the “dark baltic”, and although it looks black in the pictures online, I feel like it’s a deep navy in person. I do feel like it runs big, so keep that in mind if ordering it. I’m wearing a small, and it’s still a very relaxed fit. I would think most people need to size down.
Remember you can use the code STMTSUMMER20 for 20% OFF the necklaces!
You can find 2 more colors of the dress HERE.
A-line dress / earrings / True Colors necklace / Chasing Rainbows 30″ necklace / True Colors bracelets / gold beaded stack bracelets / sandals

MY VUORI FAVORITES
Did y’all see my Vuori post earlier this month?
Well, if you live in my neighborhood, you now have no doubt that I’m a Vuori fan. I’m wearing some combination of this next outfit just about every day you see me walking the dogs. I own the shorts in two colors and the tee in two colors, and I mix and match them.
I’m wearing a medium in the tee and a medium in the shorts. The mediums are super roomy in the shorts, but I wanted these shorts roomy. #missionaccomplished The smalls definitely fit, and would maybe have been a better choice. But again, my goal was roomy!

GRAPHIC TEE REQUESTS
I continue to get requests just about every single day for graphic tees. I’ve highlighted several recently, but I know that it’s super easy to miss posts here and there, so here are some of my most recent highlights that are still available. And if you want to see a ton of options, check out the NEW GRAPHIC TEES FOR SUMMER that I posted early in May. It had sooooooo many great tees for spring and summer that so many of y’all loved!
I’m wearing mediums in all 4 of the ones you are about to see, and they are all super super soft!
I mean, a “happy camper” tee is a quintessential summer staple.

Thie one’s got a great message.

I love lake vibes, and I love this tee.

I laughed out loud when I first spotted this I love day drinking tee. I mean, I don’t do it often, but there’s something about a lunch margarita that just hits different. Right? 🙂
day drinking tee / 5″ shorts / gold bead bracelets / TB Miller soft sandals (also on Amazon HERE)
And although not a graphic tee, the tees below are ON SALE! And how cute are the colors and stripes on this tee!!! You can see the v neck on the right and the crew neck on the left. I’m wearing mediums in both. I do think it runs a tiny bit on the small side, so if between sizes, size up.

SOME NORDSTROM FINDS
I got a request last week for a “cute and strappy sandal”. When running through the mall this week, I spotted these at Nordstrom! Nordstrom rarely fails me.
These sandals are affordable at just under $50, and I think they’ve got a lot of style. They definitely meet the strappy requirement, and I think the studs are fun!
I think this dress looks really cute in the picture, but I’ve got to be honest, I can’t actually recommend it.
I rarely show things I’m not endorsing (because it takes time to share things, and I don’t want to waste time on things I don’t love), but I think it’s important to show items that aren’t winners every so often.
I realllllllllllly wanted to love this dress, and like I said I think it looks cute in the pic, but there are a couple of things about it that are off. First of all, it wrinkles terribly. If you have to sit down in this dress, you will immediately be a wrinkled mess. Also, it’s hard to tell in the pic, but it’s super tight up top and kind of triangular on the bottom. Anyway, I wanted to love this dress, but it missed the mark.
poplin mini dress / Hi Sugarplum Party Box / TB Miller soft sandals (also on Amazon HERE)
This floral tiered mini dress might be right for some of y’all, but I just didn’t love the yellow on me. The cut is cute, the little ruffle hem is cute at the sleeves, the tiers are cute, but I’m just not in love with the color. For size reference, I’m wearing a small.

This floral print blouse is all sorts of special. I showed it a couple of weeks ago with white jeans, but it sold out immediately. WELL IT’S BACK. And look how cute it is with denim shorts too!
This top is expensive, but it’s special. And I always like to have some special pieces in my closet.
The floral pattern looks like a beautiful watercolor and the colors are gorgeous. It’s 100% organic cotton, and it’s crisp, so it looks and feels very expensive. The puffy sleeves are dramatic, which I tend to shy away from, but I love this blouse. The square neck, the puffy sleeves, and the boxy fit all speak to me. For size reference, I’m wearing a small.

As a reminder, look how cute it is with white jeans!
The white boot cut jeans are a wardrobe staple for me. They are great with a regular ol’ tee, but they are awesome dressed up a bit with a special blouse. They are stretchy, comfy, and they make you look taller and skinnier (than you already are). 🙂 True to size for me, I’m in my regular size 4. If you are between sizes, size down. They are very stretchy.

WALMART STUFF
Do y’all remember my dedicated post with Walmart? I highlighted several dresses that I ADORED, and they were all under $40! Click HERE if you are interested in any of these dresses and want to see more detailed shots.
I know some of y’all prefer mirror selfies, so I’m going to show the dresses again…
This mini dress has a big personality. The color palette alone is on fire! And it’s a total steal at just $34.
Scoop’s Collared Shirt Dress is here to heat up your cool girl style. It pops with vibrant color and tons of detail, featuring a button front, side pockets, and stylish scrunch sleeves. The flirty silhouette hits right above the knee, elongating the leg with a slight flare for added shape. Sexy, sweet, and summer-ready, this dress is sure to sit at the top of your wish list.
It has FANTASTIC REVIEWS.
For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.
shirt dress / pink hoop earrings / crescent cross body bag / neutral sandals
This eyelet dress is precious, but not too precious (if you know what I mean). I LOVE IT. I’m showing it here with a fab crochet bag. The sizing on this is kind of complicated for me. I definitely need a medium up top, but I preferred the fit of the small in the rest of the dress. I went with the medium and am happy with it.
This dress is ONLY $13, y’all! And if you don’t love the white, there are some great patterns to choose from as well.
eyelet dress / white hoop earrings / crochet bag / neutral sandals
This t-shirt dress is super soft, incredibly comfortable, and crazy cute! It’s hard to believe that it’s only $18. It comes in 6 color choices, but this punchy pink and coral stripe was a no brainer for me. I’M IN LOVE WITH THE COLOR COMBO AND THE STRIPES. It’s just so fun! For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.
t-shirt dress / white hoop earrings / multi-stripe straw tote / neutral sandals
Do you want an easy and breezy dress that you can just throw on and wear just about anywhere?
THIS IS YOUR DRESS. And get this, it’s only $15.
It’s 100% cotton and just a perfect summer dress. The subtle tulip sleeves are so pretty, and the tiers are casual summer perfection.
Designed with easy pullover styling, you will be ready in an instant while the tiered bodice gives you a put-together finish. The best part? This dress is complete with two side pockets for even more convenience.
For size reference, I’m wearing a medium. If I had a smaller chest, a small would work because the rest of the sizing is generous, but I need the room up top.

That updated tote collection is so CUTE!!!! She had me at the stripes!! Also, that necklace just makes everything you wear POP. At dinner this week, it looked fantastic on Lori too!
Jill says
I struggle with finding denim shorts that fit well and are the right length for this 57 year old lady 🙂 I’m barely 5’0″ so most xs/s shorts are shorter than I like. I recently went to Goodwill, found a few pair of Banana Republic jeans that are my favorite, then came home and cut them down to shorts in just the right length for me. SCORE! Since frayed hems are in style right now, I don’t even need a hem in them.
