Monday Musings

It’s Monday, y’all.

Yes, again.

So that’s the bad news.  Haha!

The good news (in addition to the fact that we have NO SCHOOL today!) is that I have some really fun items to share with y’all.

If you have a case of the Mondays, maybe this post will help!

**********************

First, let’s talk about AMAZON PRIME DAY!  It starts tomorrow, and I’ve got a pretty epic post that will go live at 5:00 a.m.  I’m still working on finishing it up, but please check back tomorrow to see what I’m recommending from PRIME DAY!  I’ve scoured sooooooooo many spreadsheets y’all, and I’ve picked out the things I’m interested in (and I think y’all will be too)!

OUTFITS OF THE DAY

I’ve got lots of OOTD’s for y’all today!

So here’s the deal…we had Fall like weather in my neck of the woods for a bit….BUT SUMMER IS BACK BABY.

BOO.

Like it was a high of 95 yesterday.  WHAT THE WHAT?

So in an effort to not have a heat stroke, but still look seasonally appropriate, I’ve been wearing a lot of long sleeves with shorts and sneakers.  And yes, I’ve had to break out my favorite self tanner again.

This pullover  is awesome. They call it a sweatshirt, but I don’t think of it as a sweatshirt….more like a heavy tee that is CRAZY SOFT.  SERIOUSLY.  IT IS SO SOFT.  It’s got a little bit of stretch to it and almost has a kind of silky feel.  I like that it’s slouchy, but not sloppy.  For size reference, I’m wearing a small.

The reviews on the site are fantastic and lots of reviewers posted pics if you want to see it in other colors or on different body types.  If you missed Friday’s post, click HERE to see the pullover styled with washed black jeans and funky sneakers.

I first showed y’all these neutral sneakers on Friday in a flat lay.

They are a PERFECT neutral and will look great with jeans, denim shorts, leggings, and all sorts of athleisure!  Officially they are called “Clear Brown/Nude/White”, but let’s just stick with the perfect neutral.  I really like that the accents lean a little gold, but they aren’t shiny or flashy AT ALL.  Seriously.  The perfect neutral.

These are incredibly light, super comfy, and true to size!

How adorable is this Happy Camper long sleeve tee?!?  I love the vivid colors, the graphic is DARLING, and it even has pockets!  For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.  I’m 5’4″, and it will be long enough to pair with leggings for me.

Those of you that dress up with your kids for Halloween, I have a mad amount of respect for you.  I think it’s so cool and I know that your kids are going to have so many amazing memories.  I wish I was you, but I’m not.  I don’t even remember liking dressing up when I was a kid.  #everypartyneedsapooper

But this is a costume I can get behind.  I laughed out loud when I saw this  “Meow I’m a Cat” tee.   I’ve got myself a costume!  If you’re like me, maybe you just found your costume too! And if you want to really commit, throw the cat ears headband in your cart.  Want to go all in?  Pair this tee with black jeans and heeled black booties or over the knee boots.  #MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEOW

For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.

It’s Fall y’all.  And my t-shirt tells you so!  Sadly, my shorts tell you that it was like the surface of the sun yesterday.  October has no business being 95 degrees.

This tee would be so cute with a pair of jeans and a rust color cardi thrown over it.

For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.

I’m Feeling Good about Feeling Good, y’all!  Love the color and the message.  For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.

This MOM MODE sweatshirt also comes in black and grey, but I fell in love with the blush.  For size reference, I’m wearing a medium for a very relaxed fit.

And this might come as a surprise, but there were a couple of days I didn’t wear shorts.

I wore this to a doctor’s appointment last week.  It’s a cute little boxy short sleeved tee, but the colors are totally seasonally appropriate.  For size reference, I’m wearing a small.

And I wore this to the mall.  The colors in this blouse are gorgeous, and I love it paired with my new favorite jeans.

For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.

For those of you that missed Friday’s post, here’s a close up of the jeans.

GET THEM. They will be such a nice change for you for your Fall wardrobe.

They are so soft, so comfy, and they just look cool.

Officially, the color is “black”…but I think they are maybe more like a really realllllllllllllllly dark grey.  Or maybe they’re black.  Whatever they are, I LOVE THEM.  It’s hard to see in the picture on the site, but they do have a bit of distressing. It’s not aggressive, it’s just a bit.

But my favorite part?  They fit like a glove. I’m wearing my regular size 4, but consider sizing down if between sizes.

New Work Out Top

This work out top is work out top perfection.  It’s not too tight or too short…two requirements for my work out tops.  And the back hem is a little longer, which provides extra coverage.  For size reference, I’m wearing a small.

These high waisted leggings are amazing.  They suck me in, feel great, don’t fade, and don’t sag.  And they are totally affordable!  For size reference, I’m wearing a small.  Click HERE to see all the different lengths and styles of the 90 Degrees Power Flex leggings.
