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 SHIRT YOU NEED
LADIES!
My very favorite find of the month so far, and one of my Top 5 finds of the year is this DARLING split neck blouse.
LOOK HOW CUTE IT IS!!!
Grab it in a solid, grab it in a print, or maybe even grab it in both!
solid color blouse / print blouse
I’m going to show 3 of these blouses on me today styled with some things I already had in my closet. After you see what the blouse looks like on me, I have several outfit planning collages with the different blouses to give you more styling ideas.
So here it is on me.
I FLIPPING LOVE IT.
I love the color combo of the pink and orange, the details are incredible (split neck, embroidery on placket, and gathered and ruffled sleeves), and the fit is perfection. I live for a split neck (it’s the most flattering on me with my short neck) and my favorite sleeve length is past the biggest part of the arm, but above the elbow. ALL THE BOXES ARE CHECKED!
It’s a cotton blend that’s soft to the touch, and it has a cotton poplin feel. And although it’s soft, it’s kind of crisp too, but not too crisp! #justtheperfectamountofcrisp
There’s not much stretch, but the fit is roomy. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium. If you’re between sizes, I would suggest sizing down in this top for sure.
patterned blouse / mid-rise flare jeans / chunky hoop earrings / similar cross necklace / turquoise bracelets / raffia sandals
Look how great it looks here dressed up with white jeans, heeled sandals, and a fun clutch! (The true colors of the blouse are definitely more vibrant than they appear below.)
patterned blouse / disc necklace / chunky hoop earrings / white flare jeans / white and gold bracelet stack / striped clutch / raffia sandals
If you’re not a pattern girly, then consider grabbing it in this summer mustard color or the white (which you’ll see next).
split neck top / disc necklace / chunky hoop earrings / wide leg flare jeans / pearl and rattan bag / multicolor beaded bracelet / white and gold bracelet stack / raffia sandals
The white is so clean and crisp, and pairing it with the orange and pink striped clutch was a total no brainer. This top could also be dressed down with ankle jeans and sneakers.

Oooooooh! The blue is so good too! And check out these earrings.
patterned blouse / disc necklace / teardrop earrings / white bag / white flare jeans / multicolor beaded bracelet / turquoise bracelet stack / raffia sandals
Here I am in the solid color options…
You can really see the details of the subtle puff sleeve, the gathered ruffle on the cuff, and the embroidery on the split neck and collar here.
split neck top / oval link necklace / mid-rise flare jeans / chunky hoop earrings / similar cross necklace / turquoise bracelets / raffia sandals
And I’m so happy to have a new white blouse in my closet!

FOUND DRESS IN STOCK AGAIN!
This dress that I fell in love with a couple of months ago sold out pretty quickly, and I know there were lots of you ladies that were totally bummed. BUT I’VE NOW FOUND IT RESTOCKED (at a different retailer).
It’s expensive, but I’m 1000% keeping it. I typically buy a “special” piece every so often, and this is a special dress. The colors, the patterns, the puff sleeves, the rick rack on the hem, IT’S ALL DARLING. The split neck is a little lower than I’m used to, but I’m still keeping it. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium. I’m 5’4″ (with long legs and no torso), and it’s still short on me. If you’re a taller gal, this probably isn’t the dress for you.
You can find the dress fully stocked HERE.
Farm Rio dress at Nordstrom (with low stock) / turquoise bracelets / raffia sandals
Loving it with this circle handle straw tote from Amazon!
Farm Rio dress ( Farm Rio dress fully stocked HERE. )/ circle handle straw tote / turquoise bracelets / raffia sandals
Here’s a detail shot…
Look at the hem! And you can see the dress has texture too! See what I mean? She’s special. 😉

THE BEST AMAZON COVER UPS
If you don’t have one of these cover ups yet… FIX THAT NOW. Like seriously, grab at least one now and thank me later.
I have it in both black and red from year’s past, and I’m quite sure it’s my favorite cover up I’ve ever owned. It’s one size fits all, and I never really get how that works, but it totally does! The smocked waist is super stretchy and I love the loose cap sleeves. It’s short (which I love), but it also keeps you totally covered up.
It’s very affordable, so this year I threw the “hollow out apricot” and “hollow out orange” in my cart.
I feel like this neutral one is so chic and would look absolutely amazing with a classic black swimsuit and gold jewelry.
cover up / raffia hoop earrings / bracelets / sandals
Here it is in the orange. What a great color!
cover up / raffia hoop earrings / bracelets / sandals
I love a cover up that’s a little extra, and this kaftan cover up totally fits the bill! This one is a blue and white pattern that is like a graphic botanical print. Details include a striped neckline, a pink tie, and pink piping around the relaxed sleeves and down the side. This would be a great option for a vacation where you leave the pool or beach and head straight to lunch or dinner.

INVISALIGN HACK
How many of you have kids that are doing Invisalign?
If you do, I have a great little gadget for you to grab so your kiddo can keep their trays as clean as possible.
Carter uses this Ultrasonic UV cleaner every couple of days, and his aligners come out sparkling clean and totally free of any nasty bacteria! I still wear my Invisalign retainers every night, so I ended up getting one for me that I keep in my bathroom as well. It actually makes more sense for me, whereas he gets new ones every couple of weeks, I’m wearing my same ones night after night.
And on the days we don’t use the ultrasonic cleaner, we try to use the Retainer Brite Cleaning Tablets, Just drop a tablet in water in a solo cup and you can benefit from some extra cleaning help that way as well.
If you’re kid isn’t in Invisalign, but you’re interested and in the area, I highly recommend Carter’s ortho – Crossley Orthodontics. He does adults too, so you can also reach out to him if you are interested for yourself as well. Dr. Crossley and the entire office staff are so helpful and kind, and the entire process has been so easy and painless. If you go the Invisalign route you have much fewer than appointments than you would with traditional braces, and that’s just one of the pros. You can always call and book a free consultation to see if you or your kiddo would be eligible for this type of treatment.
Ultrasonic UV cleaner and Retainer Brite Cleaning Tablets
And after being served this next item on a Facebook ad, I just ordered 2 of these UV cases (one for Carter and one for me). The case utilizes three powerful ultraviolet lights to effectively disinfect stinky odor causing gunk in only 2.5 minutes with no need for soap.

TRIBE WELLNESS CONCIERGE
I shared this last year, but I wanted to share it again (with some updated information)! This is information that I know will help a ton of mamas out there!
My DARLING friend Stephanie (she lives in my neighborhood) is a Family Nurse Practitioner, and she started Tribe Wellness + Concierge. Y’all get excited because the days of house calls are back, baby!!! Tribe Wellness + Concierge can provide your family with all sorts of healthcare services, and you will never have to leave the comfort of your own home. Mamas, can you even imagine?!? You don’t have to drag your sick kid (or yourself) to a germ filled doctor’s office anymore!
My family has been using Stephanie for over 4 years now and we absolutely LOVE her and the services she provides. Stephanie has come to our home probably 12x or so in the last several years, which means that none of us have gone to the doctor for a sick visit in over 3 years. She has personally helped us thru strep throat, an ear infection, a Covid diagnosis, a urinary tract infection, and the flu (that almost killed me dead last year). She even gave me a vitamin shot when I was having trouble kicking the flu, and I was better the next day! One of my favorite things about Stephanie is that although she can of course prescribe needed prescription medications, she is also quite knowledgeable and passionate about homeopathic alternatives if that is something that you are interested in.
Tribe provides services to Dallas, McKinney, Celina, Prosper, Frisco, Plano, Fairview, Allen Lucas, Carrollton, and Richardson. But even if you aren’t in the immediate area, you can book Telehealth appointments from wherever you are!
Click HERE (go ahead and bookmark their site!) to learn all about Stephanie and Melissa. You will be so happy to have everything at your fingertips the next time you have a sick family member. Services they offer include sick visits and well visits (for both adults and children), physicals, telemedicine, IV therapy or injections (for hydration, energy, and/or metabolism), as well as high quality vitamins and supplements that can be delivered directly to you.
And they started offering in-home physical therapy in Dallas just this month!
You can learn about the services they offer, the fees they charge (everything is simple and transparent), and book an appointment HERE.
Proud of you, Stephanie! And I’m so happy to help spread the word about YOU and Tribe!
In addition to bookmarking the site, you can also follow Tribe on Instagram HERE and on Facebook HERE. Both platforms are a great way to have the information readily available when you need it. And get this!
All new followers will be entered into a giveaway for 1 FREE House Call or Telemedicine visit! I will announce the winner next week.
I am so blessed by Stephanie and Tribe, and I hope that by me sharing it again today that many of you will be blessed in the future as well!

That’s all for today, y’all! Have a wonderful weekend with your people!
