So. Many. Good. Things.

When I was in high school, American Eagle was seriously one of the only stores I shopped in. They were the ONLY Jeans I wore. Something happened. We broke up. I’m not really sure.
We recently rekindled our relationship and it is flourishing. I can’t get enough. I’m in love with pretty much everything! I could do without crop tops because, well… two babies. Not to mention I was never about the crop top life to begin with. Oh well, I’m making things work with AE. And I’m loving it.
Also, while we are talking about the past, maybe it’s because I was born at the end of the 80s and have such fond memories of the 90s, but I am LOVING the fact that things I wore 25 years ago are trending again. Like overalls. You guys don’t know how much I have been wanting a pair of overalls. And the pair your about to see is super cute! I didn’t buy them though, because I’m trying to behave.
I had the boys with me, begging to get out of the fitting room that we were “trapped” in. My soon-to-be three year old is already such a man. His father has trained him well, what can I say. So, be kind when looking at the pictures. ❤️
First up, these basic tanks are just that, the perfect basic. I have one in white and I love it! The fit is great and TTS. I’m wearing a small.
Are mom shorts still cool if you’re actually a mom? Asking for a friend. I really love these mom shorts. The wash and the pleating in the front is the perfect throw back to the 80s and I’m living for it. I’m wearing a 4 in the photo but easily could have gone with a 6, so I’d say TTS.
I would definitely have paired this outfit with different sandals. Or maybe even some throwback Reeboks or something?
Moving on, we have the same tank, because it’s so good, with these Tomgirl shorts. These were SO CUTE! They’re selling out fast, so if you like them… Snatch. Them. Up. They’re called short shorts, which would normally deter me, but they’re not actually that short. I loved the hem detail, on the outside it was folded up and stitched. Something cute and different! These are pretty TTS, I’m wearing a 4.
This cardigan is a perfect addition to the outfit for a cool night and transitioning into fall. It’s cropped but not super cropped so it works well. I love it over a simple tank with shorts! It’s TTS, wearing a small.
I kept this pair of shorts on for this top, that I am obsessed with! I loved the color and the fit! The bubble sleeves and the tie at the bottom are so different and fun! It came in at least one other color as well. It will be a great transition piece for fall. It has an open knit, so if you’re worried about that at all, just throw on a cami and you’ll be good to go! It’s TTS, I’m wearing a small.
I spotted this tee right before I went into the fitting room and I fell in love! I’m living for button front tees right now and this one is no exception! The colors are great and the length is awesome too! I tucked in half of the front and you can see how long it is, you could even size up, belt it, and pair it with leggings!
This yellow tank is another soft and comfortable, yet cute option! I really liked that it was ribbed but not overly obnoxiously ribbed. It’s so simple but so good. It comes in several other colors too. Definitely TTS, I’m wearing a small.
I paired it with these distressed jeggings that are on super sale and so comfortable. I know I’ve said it before, but they have the best denim! I’m wearing a 6 and I’d say they’re pretty TTS, I could probably have gone with the short option if it were there, but I’m barely 5’4” so…
I’m fairly sure I haven’t worn a denim skirt in probably 15 years. I honestly think middle school was the last time I had one and I’m not even mad that they’re coming back. I’m not really sure why we ever stopped wearing them. I tossed this one on with the yellow tank and it’s good to go! It had a great length, it covered everything but wasn’t awkwardly long. I’ve got short legs though, so if you’re a long legged beauty, I say who cares. Show those legs off. ❤️ I loved the light distressing and raw hem too! Of course, it’s high waisted, so if you’re at all concerned about the length, you can always pull it down lower on the waist. It’s TTS, I’m wearing a 6. I always say if I’m unsure with skirts and shorts to size up rather than down, because nobody wants their legs busting out of the bottom of anything.
Drumroll please! It’s the moment you’ve all been waiting for! The overalls are finally making their long awaited appearance. Okay. Maybe you don’t even care about the overalls. But they were my favorite thing I tried on. I already said it, but I’m just loving this overall trend! These guys come in S, M, L sizing rather than a standard number. I’d say they’re TTS, I had the small on, and easily could have worn the medium, but the small wasn’t too tight at all! They had the perfect amount of distressing and a really great length! They’re the “Tomgirl” fit, so they have a nice relaxed, but not baggy fit. The quality was outstanding! Highly recommend if you’re looking for a pair of overall shorts!
I told you guys, there was a lot of good stuff, and had I been sans children, there would have been more. I’ll try to do another try-on soon and share it with you!
What are your favorite items? What would you like to see me try on that I didn’t get to?! Let me know in the comments! I’d love to chat!
XOXO
