I’m a wife, mom to two wonderful little boys and a super spunky labradoodle, and a middle school teacher. I love all things fashion and motherhood, which is why I created this blog. I want to be able to connect with other people who share the same passions and share ideas and inspire other women. ❤️
Of course, everyone knows that today is Prime Day! I’ve been disappointed by the deals in the past, but I’ve found a ton of great things this year! Just remember that some of these items are lightning deals and only available for a short amount of time. Additionally some of them will for sure sell out!

Beauty and Skincare
Let’s focus on skincare and makeup first, shall we? The first thing I found was the St Tropez Bronzing Mousse. Such a great sunless tanner and its a great price at only $29.40.
Next, there are a ton of Supergoop products for 30% off! That’s an amazing discount. I’ve been using and LOVING everything from Supergoop and I can tell you that you never get this much of a discount on these products! Here are some of my must haves!
Jen from The Sister Studio (who am I kidding, I’m sure you know who she is!) RAVES about this Vitamin E Oil! She has talked about it so many times! Definitely a product I want to try!
Clothing and Accessories
There are quite a few great fashion finds as well! A ton of great items! Here are some of my favorites! One tip, for a lot of these, you have to select the color and size you want in order for it to reflect the discount price!
For the Home
Great deals on all of the Amazon electronics! We have several Echo Dots and an Echo. We also use our Firestick regularly too! They’re great to have all around the house. My oldest can finally talk to Alexa so that she can hear and understand him and he LOVES it.
I love a good cold brew coffee. Definitely considering this guy to make my own!
If you have a shower curtain, these are hands down the best style of curtain hangers! They slide so smoothly over the curtain rod. Its like nothing I’ve ever seen!
Kids and Baby
Water wipes are hands down my favorite wipes! You can get an additional 20% off!
I’m sure I’ll be finding and adding more products throughout the day but I thought I’d share these finds with you!
So, let’s just get this out of the way… if you don’t like camo or leopard, we can’t be friends. I’m kidding. Only a little bit. But seriously, you’re going to see a lot of those so, consider yourself warned.

With all the frenzy around the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, and the fact that many of you aren’t shopping it, I decided hit up a place that I can access easily! Not that I’ve ever in my life been disappointed by Target, we’ve been in a relationship for a very long time, but Target is killing it lately! (Their only flaw is the fitting room situation. I don’t know where you guys are finding Targets with such fancy fitting rooms, but I’m jealous!) I pretty much want to buy the entire store! They have so many great things that you can wear dressed up or dressed down!
I told you, camo is everywhere and I’m here for it! This camo sweatshirt is perfection. It’s just the right amount of oversized without being too big. It would work with leggings, white denim, jeans, or shorts, as I’m wearing it below. I’m wearing a small and it’s designed to be slightly oversized. I could have easily worn the XS if I wanted it to be a little bit more fitted.
These shorts are so comfortable! I’m pretty sure I’ve mentioned them before. They didn’t have my normal size 4 so I felt brave and grabbed the 2. Much to my surprise they fit and were really comfy. So I would say they run slightly large. Your normal size would probably work but you may be able to size down one.
First let’s talk about this cardigan! I absolutely loved the color, the fit, everything. It was perfect. The only problem with it is that I cannot find it online! Ugh! I’m so upset! But I will keep looking for it and update when it is available! Definitely check your local target to see if they have it in stock! I’m assuming its a new fall item and should be showing up online soon! Its perfectly TTS, I’m wearing a small!
This tank is awesome! Its so comfortable and bonus, the buttons are functional, so it’s nursing friendly for my breastfeeding mamas! I’m actually wearing a medium here, but need a small, my bra kept peeking out the top of the shirt. Its a really nice material, super soft and thick, but not so thick that you can’t wear it in the summer. It would probably also look super cute knotted at the bottom. Definitely get your true size.
These jeans are the Denizen by Levi’s brand and they’re super comfy! They have a light amount of distressing and a cute slit at the ankle. I’m wearing a 4/5 and I definitely think I could have sized down. They weren’t super loose, but they weren’t as fitted as I’d like them.
Here, I’m wearing that same tank, and paired it with my absolute favorite pants from Target. I’ve been eyeing them for months waiting for them to go on sale (simply because I don’t need them). They’re still really affordable! The length is absolutely perfect for me. I’m 5’4″ for reference. They’re so comfortable and have a perfect fit! They’re TTS, I’m wearing a 4.
Same tank, paired with the shorts from above, and this gorgeous cardigan. Its definitely one of my favorite items I tried on! For sure a fall staple item, and a much cuter (in my opinion) and more affordable opinion than all of the cardigans people are freaking out about in the NSALE. It’s light enough to wear now on a cooler day and will work great as it continues to cool off! It’s TTS, I’m wearing a small.
How cute is this little crossbody bag?! Its the perfect taupe color and a great size. Not too big, not too small. Just perfect! As a mom, I love a good tote bag, because I can throw anything in it and go, but I also really like a crossbody bag for when we are out and about with the kids and I’m chasing them around.
I paired this gorgeous leopard top with the denim I had on, but this top would pair so well with black denim or dress pants for the office. It is a sheer material, but I’m wearing A nude bra and you can’t really see it. If it’s too sheer for you, a nude cami like this one would be a great option. It’s TTS, I’m wearing a small.
More leopard. Don’t say I didn’t warn you. This top is so pretty and also nursing friendly! It has a solid white back and is the perfect length. It’s a faux wrap top with a little clasp that makes it easy to wear if you’re breastfeeding! So pretty and would work great with dress pants for the office. It’s TTS I’m wearing a small.
I was showing my husband the pictures and he told me this top was his favorite. It has a really great fit, and actually comes in another color that I think I’d prefer over this because it’s a more muted stripe pattern. This one is really more of a rusty orange color, but for some reason it was pulling so much more red when I took the picture. It has a really different cut. The back is longer and the front has a rounded bottom. It’s perfect for higher waisted pants! The v-neck isn’t too low cut and you could easily throw a cardigan over it for work! It’s TTS I’m wearing a small.
Okay I am not even exaggerating, the same day I tried this on, I saw 4, yes FOUR, people post it on Instagram. I left target and was browsing Instagram and it just kept showing up. If you decide to buy anything from this haul, GET THIS DRESS! It’s so cute and amazingly comfortable! It’s not too short and the babydoll fit is flattering for anyone! It’s a nice bonus that this cute bag goes so well with it too! I’m actually wearing an XS and it works fine for me. If you’re taller you may want to go with your normal size.
I decided to dress it down a bit by throwing a chambray top over it. If you don’t own a chambray shirt, you need one. They’re so versatile! You can wear them with everything! This one is also TTS, I’m wearing a small!
I did some scouting of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale and here are some of my favorite finds!
If you’re reading this post, there’s a good chance you already know what I’m talking about. The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is happening! It really is a great time to get some quality items for a lower price.
Full Disclosure… I want literally everything in the sale. Will I buy everything? No. Will I buy a lot? No. I don’t need anything. I need to save my money. Will I buy a few things? Yes. So, I thought I’d share with you some of the items in the sale that really caught my eye and that I think you’ll all enjoy too!
*This post may contain affiliate links. *All images are from Nordstrom.com
There are tons of items that I’m loving in this sale. If I had unlimited money, I’d be spending a ton of it, but… I’m a teacher so my income is not endless. I will buy a few items, and then use others as an inspiration to create my fall looks.
I also don’t live near a Nordstrom, and although I was at one earlier this week, I wasn’t able to shop the sale because it wasn’t happening. Although they had everything out, so I was able to spot a few items, it was all roped off so I couldn’t actually look at it. I’m going to make it a point to try to get to an actual store at least once during the sale! So, stay tuned for that!
Tips for Shopping
Early Access *All Cardholders – July 12 – 12:30 pm ET
Anniversary Sale Public Access – July 19 – August 4. Prices increase on August 5.
Look for basics! I think it’s a great idea to look for some quality basic items. I’ve said for years that it’s great to make an investment on a piece that is going to last you years and live longer than a seasonal trend. I love seasonal trends as much as the next person, but I don’t think it’s wise to spend a ton of money on something I’ll only wear for 3 months.
Set a budget! If you’re anything like me, you probably have a mild self control issue. I’m pretty good at reasoning with myself about my spending, but there are times when I just need something and need it now and overspend. Then I have buyers remorse and get stressed and it’s a spiral. So. Be smart. Set a budget. Give yourself a number that you’re willing to spend. If you’re not shopping the early access sale, you have an entire week to browse the sale items and make yourself a wishlist. You can weigh the pros and cons of what you want to buy and you’ve got time to think about it!
When in doubt, order it. – I know this might kind of contradict what I was just saying, but one of my favorite things about Nordstrom is the free shipping and free returns. If you’re unsure about sizing, order two and return the one that doesn’t work for you. If you want something but aren’t sure about the fit, order it and make a decision at home.
Act fast! – I know, just reading this gives me anxiety… But there are items that are ALREADY sold out and the sale isn’t even open to the public yet. So if you think you want something, get it. Add it to your cart and purchase it. Again, free shipping so you can purchase one item at a time. No worries about additional shipping costs.
Be Ready – Log in to your account ahead of time. Have your card added to your account so that you don’t have to take the time to enter it at checkout.
Don’t spend money you don’t have – You’ll thank me later for this one. I opened a Nordstrom card simply to shop early, and because when I signed up there was a bonus $60 note. It was kind of a no brainer. BUT! I won’t ever, ever, ever carry a balance on this credit card. Or any card for that matter. But that’s for another day. What I’m spending at the NSALE, will be paid off as soon as my credit card bill comes. It’s not worth it if you’re paying interest on something you got a great deal on. You’re going to end up paying full price for it!
Watch where you click – What I mean by that is, if there is a blogger that you want to give credit to for your purchase, make sure that his/her link is the last link you click before placing your order! For example, maybe one of your favorite bloggers shared a sweater and you want her to get credit for your purchase, but someone else shared a pair of jeans and you want her to get credit, you’d want to make separate purchases in order to give each person credit. The last link you click is the person who gets the credit for your purchases! If you do use my links to place an order, please know that I truly from the bottom of my heart appreciate it! By doing that you’re helping to support this blog!
Let’s just get this out of the way, shall we! I’ll tell you first, that as intrigued as I am by the Barefoot Dreams line, I refuse to pay that much for a cardigan or a blanket, so you won’t see me talking about or promoting them. I really have no input. I’ve never even felt one and it’s probably better that way. For starters, I have a dog and two toddler boys, I’ll stick to my inexpensive blankets for now. If Carlton chewed on a $100+ blanket, I’d probably lose my mind. There are two reasons I don’t want to try the cardigans. 1. They’re just way too much money for a cardigan (in my opinion). 2. I’m terrified I’ll like it and then I’ll have to buy more… it’s just best for me that I don’t even bother. But, if you are interested in them, you can find the blanket HERE. I’ve been told they’re amazing! 😉 If you’ve got the money to buy expensive blankets, get it girl!
These BP V-Neck tees are such great basics. I actually have one and love it! It has held up really well through multiple washes. The price for these is really quite reasonable, even when they’re not on sale. These are going to be a huge seller! You honestly never can go wrong with a basic v-neck tee!
I spotted this cardigan when I was passing through Nordstrom last week (and not able to shop because I’m not one of the elite. Haha) It’s definitely a great Cardigan. I think it will probably be a huge seller as well.
I’ve seen this sweater on several bloggers and I’m LOVING it. It is perfect for fall and winter. The colors are so nice and will look great with anything. I love the oversized look as well!
This leopard cardigan has a bit more of a grown up feel, but still has that fun leopard print. It’s a little bit more pricey than the BP one I mentioned earlier, but this is another great option!
I can’t get enough of Madewell. This cardigan is no exception. It’s the perfect transition cardigan and of course I’d wear it all the way through winter.
This is a perfect weekend sweatshirt. I love the colorblocking and the colors are great! I don’t think I’d ever want to take this off! It would work really well now with shorts on a cooler evening and then with leggings or jeans into fall!
I’m just loving this camo jacket. Camo is not going anywhere. I’ve seen several girls trying this one on and it is good! You can pair with a tee and jeans or white denim, throw it over a maxi dress in the fall, a denim skirt… the possibilities are endless with a great camo jacket! The metallic stitching on the side above the pocket is just a really nice touch. If I didn’t already have a great camo jacket that I love, I’d for sure be adding this one to my cart.
If you saw my Madewell Try-On earlier this week, I mentioned an oversized denim jacket that I tried on. From what I can tell, this jacket is very similar if not the exact same. They’re definitely the same cut and style, but maybe a different wash? Anyway, if you’re looking for a high quality denim jacket, look no further. This is definitely an investment piece, but its going to be around for a while!
I sat back and listened to everyone rave about these leggings for YEARS I swear. I thought there is no way that a pair of leggings is worth that much money. I was WRONG. I love my Zella leggings. I snagged mine last year during the sale and I’ve probably washed them 100 times, no exaggeration. They’re in exactly the same condition as they were when I got them. They are WORTH THE HYPE! I can wear them to work out (a very rare occurrence. lol) or dress them up! I’ve worn them to work with a nice top, I’ve worn them on the weekend with a hoodie, I’ve paired them with a big, chunky, oversized sweater. If you get one thing from the sale, get these.
I’ve been looking for a great pair of black denim to wear to work, so the distressing needs to be minimal, or non-existent. This raw hem is fine for my job, so I’m definitely considering these. Especially since I finally had an opportunity to try Madewell denim and fell in love with it. (I don’t know why I have to have such expensive taste. But I do. I still thrive on finding things on a budget though!) If I do decide to grab these, I’ll definitely update you guys here and on Instagram.
I absolutely love my Free People jeans that I have. So much so, that I have them in three colors. (Budget finds, of course! My Dillard’s was going out of business and I got each of the three pairs for like $20. Talk about a score.) Honestly though, they’re worth the sale price all day long! The ONLY reason I wouldn’t pay full price is that I can’t wear them to work, so that limits my use of them.
This is a really great affordable pair of denim! This brand is a very popular brand with great reviews! I love the light distressing just at the ankle.
And a third pair of affordable denim. Everyone needs a great black pair of jeans. This is a more affordable brand than the Madewell I talked about above, but still great quality!
These. Shoes. Hands down my favorite item I’ve seen in the sale. If there was only one thing I could buy, it would be these. I’m absolutely buying them. Leopard is such a basic print. I literally treat it like solid black or white. I’ve seen these on several people that shopped early and they’re just perfection. I foresee them selling out very, very early!
There are several pairs of Vince Camuto booties in the sale and their prices are all very close to one another. They’re all beautiful and I don’t think you’d be wrong to purchase any of them, but this was my favorite pair of the bunch!
This bag is beautiful and under $40! It’s definitely a contender for what I’ll be spending my money on. As a mom, I’m all about the crossbody bag life. It’s so easy to carry that and my kiddos and their diaper bag and their stuff… lol #momlife.
My friend told me a long time ago that these were her favorite no-show socks. So last year, when they were a part of the sale I snatched them up! I’m not mad about that decision at all! They really are great! If you’re already a fan, this is a great time to stock up!
I’m assuming that everyone shops the sale, when we all know that’s not true!
If you are shopping, what are you looking for? What are your faves from the post? If you’re not shopping, why? I mean that in a genuinely curious way and not in a “omg I can’t believe you’re not shopping. What’s wrong with you?!” Kind of way! Just looking to start a conversation! Leave a comment below! Let’s chat!
Happy Friday! The weekend is almost here!! I hope you’re having a wonderful day!

I’ve been using this for two days after I shower and I have the most natural looking, golden glow! (I haven’t applied self tanner in over a week, so it’s mostly faded off) I didn’t really have any expectations either way, but this stuff is great! It smells really good, it’s a think moisturizer so my skin feels so nice after applying it! Definitely worth the $20!

This tank is adorable, has great reviews, and is under $15! It’s an amazon lightning deal, so hurry!

I found some awesome stuff this week at Madewell! Their denim really is worth the hype if you’re looking for a quality investment piece!
*This post may contain affiliate links.*
Full disclosure: I’m a budget friendly shopper, through and through. But I do like to make the occasional investment on a high quality article of clothing! If you’re here and reading, I’m sure you know that Madewell doesn’t exactly fit into the affordable category, but I was able to find a few items on major sale! I’m sharing those with you, along with some much more expensive items that caught my eye and I did love!
Believe it or not, this was the first time I’ve ever been to a Madewell. My local mall doesn’t have many higher end retailers like Nordstrom, Madewell, J.Crew, etc. I mean, we don’t even have a LOFT. The highest end store we have is a Macy’s. We used to have Dillard’s but they just closed that. (Our mall really isn’t the greatest.) So, I’ve got to travel a little bit to get to some of the better, and more expensive, stores. (So, maybe it’s a blessing in disguise… for my wallet that is.)
I spent the day shopping with friends and the boys. Seriously, you guys, thank the good lord for good friends who will sit with your kids while you try things on and shop! I found a lot of great items at Madewell, and I was honestly so in love with the denim I tried on. The shorts came home with me because they were on sale. The jeans, they stayed in the store, because if I told my husband I spent $135 on a pair of jeans, I’d need a new home. (Don’t read too much into that. I’m not saying that my husband is in charge of me. It’s a respect thing. I would never spend that kind of money on clothing, when there is always something that I could buy for the family or the home.) They really were great jeans, and if they’re in your budget, I highly recommend them. But I totally understand not having that kind of cash to spend on a pair of pants. If you’re looking to make an investment in a high quality pair of jeans, then these could be a great pair for you!
Up first, we have the infamous Whisper Cotton V-Neck Tank. I’ll be honest with you. It’s a cute tank. But I wouldn’t pay the full price for it. Its a very lightweight material which is perfect for summer. This particular color was on sale for $13, which I’m totally fine with paying for a tank top! They definitely run TTS, I got the small! Bonus: Sale items are an additional 30% off!
These shorts also came home with me. They are a great length, color, and fit. I loved everything about them! I was in such a rush, I didn’t even take a good picture of the tulip hem on the side. So. Cute. This pair was also on clearance and is unfortunately sold out on Madewell’s website, but I did find them on Nordstrom’s website! They run TTS, I’m wearing a 27.
This floral tee was so soft and comfortable. Definitely a thicker, high quality material, but still comfortable! I didn’t bring this home with me simply because I need another floral tee like I need a hole in my head, and it was still full price. I’d say the quality was there, but it would have had a higher chance of coming home with me if it’d been on sale. It’s TTS, I’m wearing a small. If you want a looser fit, I’d recommend sizing up.
These jeans. You guys, these jeans were like BUTTER. So amazing. You already saw my whole story above. If you’re looking for high-end, high quality denim, add these to your cart! They hit at a perfect length! The high waist is perfect! They run TTS, I’m wearing a 27.
This sweater was calling my name from afar as soon as I saw it on the table. And then I saw it hanging on a different rack, then on a mannequin and I finally grabbed it and tried it on. I’m not mad that I did. It’s pretty great. I didn’t buy it because I’m not ready to commit to fall style yet. But it paired perfectly with this pair of white denim shorts. It’s TTS I’m wearing a small.
These white shorts were perfection! Like I’m talking about the perfect pair of white denim shorts. The rave reviews are true about Madewell denim, I’m pretty sure I already said that though. They’re definitely a higher price than I’d like to pay for shorts, so they stayed at the store. But if I had the money, I would have gotten them. They had a nice high rise, a great length, and were just perfect! They’re TTS, I’m wearing a 27.
These are the same jeans I talked about earlier, but I couldn’t stop staring at this top. It’s one of my favorite things I tried on! The colors were so pretty. The knot on the hip area was just perfect. It was super lightweight and definitely had more of a cropped fit, so it’s for sure something to pair with high waisted bottoms. It’s TTS, I’m wearing a small.
I LOVED this dress! So much that it came home with me as well. It was on major clearance, and just fit perfectly. It will be a great dress to throw on for running errands and being out and about. It’s TTS, I’m wearing a small.
This denim jacket. It was so buttery soft! I actually didn’t like the way it fit because I needed an XS. It has an oversized fit, so you definitely want to go down at least one size. I tied it around my waist just so you could get a glimpse of the color, and I’ll add a photo from the website so you can see it on! Definitely an investment piece, but such a nice denim jacket.
I did sneak a peek at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale items while I was walking through, and it looked like they had a VERY similar jacket in the sale!
This shirt is clearly one of my favorite styles of shirts. I keep trying them on and/or buying them. I just love the look of the button front with the tie. The oversized fit gives that relaxed comfortable appearance but they never look sloppy. The sleeves on this one hit me in an awkward place, so it wasn’t my favorite. I really did love the colors! I’m wearing a small and probably would have preferred the fit of an XS. I paired it with the Tulip Hem shorts I purchased, but it easily could pair with white denim or regular denim.
If you made it all the way through, thanks for hanging out! I’m so glad to have you here on the blog. As I said earlier, Madewell is definitely a more expensive brand. But I promise you, the quality is there. If it’s in your budget, investing in a great quality piece of denim isn’t a terrible idea!
If you’re looking to invest in a high end item, look for something that is going to last you years! Don’t spend a ton of money on something super trendy! A great pair of jeans, a denim jacket, a nice bag, or a great pair of shoes. That’s where you should be spending your hard earned money on expensive pieces!
I hope you’re all having a great day! Let me know what your favorite pieces are? What do you already own and love from Madewell? Let’s chat!
It’s Wednesday! This week is simultaneously dragging but also flying by. I can’t explain it! I hope you’re having a fabulous day!

This is hands down the best nail polish top coat I’ve ever used. I’m not even exaggerating when I say this is the only top coat my mom has used for 20 years. She has literally sworn by it most of my life. I thought she was nuts until I finally started using it myself and now I’ll never use anything else. I’ve tried other things that claim to work and nothing works like Seche Vite! It’s on sale for 25% off right now!
It’s Tuesday! Which is always better than Monday! I’m hoping to wrangle my kids and head to the grocery store, so I hope you’ve got a more interesting day planned than I do 😂

I hope you’re all having a fabulous Monday! ❤️ The good news is, it’s almost over!
The boys and I had breakfast and decided to stop into Kohl’s and see what we could find. There were more things I wanted to try, but S decided he would be funny and run around the women’s clothing department hiding from me. So we left in a hurry. I did find a ton of cute stuff though! Try-ons with tag-a-long kiddos are super fun. You’re definitely missing out if you haven’t done it. Haha.

First we have this adorable Lauren Conrad dress. I absolutely loved the pattern and the style. It’s such a cute girly fit and perfect for a summer event. I put it on and S said, “You look so beautiful!” Such a little sweet talker. I really liked the pattern on the dress and everything about it. I’m wearing a small and I could have easily worn the extra small, so if you’re unsure, I’d size down. When it comes to Lauren Conrad I’m in between sizes in everything. This dress also comes in several other patterns as well.
This really isn’t a great look for me. I loved the bright green color of this tank, and I think it would pair really well with white pants or jeans. Just definitely NOT these shorts. It’s a two layer shirt, so you don’t have to worry about your bra showing at all. It’s a great length too, which is why it doesn’t look good with these shorts. I’m wearing a small, it’s TTS.
This top by Lauren Conrad is so pretty! It’s hard to see but it had some sparkle throughout it. I loved the light colors and stripes. It looks good and is super comfortable. Very lightweight. You can kind of see my bra through it, so definitely go with a nude bra, or wear a cami under it. I’m wearing an XS and could easily have gone with a Small. So if you’re unsure, get your normal size. It won’t look bad if it’s slightly loose on you.
The shorts are a great basic pair from the Lauren Conrad line as well! They’re super stretchy and comfortable but I definitely recommend sizing up! I have on a 6 and could easily have gone with an 8.
This top is by far my favorite shirt I tried on. I absolutely LOVED the pattern on it. It’s a super comfy top, very lightweight and soft. It paired really well with these shorts, but would also look good with jeans! I’m wearing a small, so I’d say it’s TTS. (I spy little S in the background)
I really liked this tank top! It’s super soft and comfortable and I’m pretty sure under $10. The color is so fun and the floral pattern is so pretty! I should have left on the shorts for this picture because it definitely does not go with these jeans. I’m wearing a small, so definitely TTS.
This tank is such a great simple basic. According to the website and the tags on the shirts, this and the yellow floral shirt are the same. Although this is a small and fit completely different than the other. I liked it but I would say size up and wear a bralette for sure. It’s definitely more on the sheer side, so if that’s not something you’re comfortable with a cami under would work also.
I really liked these jeans! They were a great fit. Definitely a mid rise, they hit just a little below my belly button. I’m just loving this dark stripe down the sides, similar to my Old Navy shorts, seen here. These are definitely TTS I’m wearing a 6/7 which is my true size in juniors bottoms.
This jumpsuit seriously caught my eye as soon as we walked into the store. It had such fun colors and I loved the vertical stripes! The straps are not adjustable, FYI. I’m wearing a small, it fits TTS, and it hit me right at the ankle, so that’s also something to keep in mind. This would look adorable with wedges for a summer event! You could even throw on a jean jacket! I’d definitely choose a different bra with this, you can kind of see mine peeking out in the corner.
I’m wearing that same white tank from above with these amazing camo overalls! They were the first thing I saw when I walked in the store, and literally the only camo pair on the rack. They were SO comfortable and definitely adorable! They were a very soft French terry material. I’ve been wanting a pair of camo overalls and this just might be the pair I add to my closet. They would also look so cute with a t-shirt as well. I’m wearing a medium, and they are juniors sizing, so I’d say they’re TTS.
