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. ❤️
Happy Tuesday! It’s back to school day for this teacher so I was up early, bright eyed and bushy tailed. Haha who am I kidding.

I hope you’re having a fabulous day and a great start to the week!
I just posted a month or so ago about how my love for AE was back and then started struggling to find items I love in the store. The problem is, the stores around me aren’t the greatest so I have to do a majority of my shopping online. American Eagle definitely has a much larger selection online! (And I believe that some stores are just bigger and better than what I’ve got locally)

For sizing reference… I’m 5’4″ and around 135 lbs. I typically wear a small in tops and 4/6 in bottoms.
First up this basic sweatshirt. I actually didn’t love the color as much on me as I did when I saw it on the shelf. I loved the color for fall, but maybe it was a combination of the fit and color that I just wasn’t feeling. Maybe it was the shorts. I’d definitely still wear this color, but I think I’d like it better with leggings.
The sweatshirt does come in a ton of other color options and it is so comfortable, so I highly recommend it. If this color looks better on you than it does on me, then rock it! I really loved the tie-dye options! There were also a lot more choices online than there were in the store. I’m wearing a small and I’d say it runs large. I could have easily sized down.
These shorts were amazing. Like, I can’t come up with a better word than amazing. They’re the Tomgirl short shorts, but honestly, they’re not really short to me. Either I’m more confident about the size of my thighs, or I’ve officially reached the age where I’ve stopped caring what people think about my thighs. If its hot out, this mama is wearing her shorts. They’re TTS, I’m wearing 6.
Of course my store had a return of these Aerie sweatshirts that literally everyone is raving about and I had to try them on! They run so large! I’m wearing a small and could easily have done the XS. However it wasn’t so big that it looked sloppy either. They really are as comfortable and cute as everyone says! I tried on both that my store had and it was a tough decision as to which I liked better!
I decided to try a cropped sweater. Not a slightly cropped sweater but a fully cropped sweater. Full disclosure, I didn’t like it on me. I’ve had two kids, and even when my abs (lol I never had abs) or I mean, stomach was flatter I still didn’t really care to show it off. The sweater is super cute, and I was able to make it work by doing a small front tuck. I really loved it, but it just wasn’t practical for me to buy because its not an item I’ll wear to work at all. But, it was super soft and cozy and definitely a great option.
So, sticking with that cropped sweater, I wanted to see what other options I could pair it with. I am literally obsessed with these pants. They’re so stinking comfortable! I already have several other pairs of green pants and didn’t need them so, I didn’t buy them, but if you are in the market for a pair of green pants with a more casual twist, these are for you girl! I would say they’re TTS, I’m wearing a 6 but easily could have done the 4. They’re super stretchy!
I paired those same pants with this amazing Aerie sweater. It comes in several options and I’m in love. This sweater is perfect for transition into fall. You’re going to see me wearing this one allll the time.
I think that this tank is the perfect layering piece for fall. Throw it on with a cardigan and you’re good to go. There were a couple of different color options. It’s super soft and comfortable. I’m wearing a small so I’d definitely call it TTS.
I have been wanting to try a pair of cropped flare denim so when I saw this pair in my size I grabbed them. I feel like for my height they needed to be slightly more cropped. They just hit me at a place that makes it look like I bought my pants too long and tried to hem them, making them too short. They were super comfortable and if you’re a bit taller than me I would recommend them for sure! They do come in short sizes online, so I may have to check that out!
I paired the tank with a standard dark wash, high waisted skinny jean and again just needed to add a cardigan. These jeans were so comfortable and TTS, I’m wearing a 4. I could have gone with a 6 and if I’d purchased them that would be what I’d have gone with. But they didn’t have one in store.
The last item I have to share with you is this ah-mazingly soft pair of leopard plush leggings. I can’t say I’d go out in these, but for lounging around the house?! Perfection. They’re seriously the softest thing I’ve ever felt! I don’t think I’d necessarily pair them with this sweater, but I didn’t have anything else in the fitting room to pair them with. It was hard to take them off to leave the store!
They’re definitely a comfy loungewear pair of leggings. There is no compression whatsoever, so if that’s what you’re looking for, then these may not be for you. If you’re looking for something cozy to snuggle up in the winter with, get them!
Happy Friday! The weekend starts in a few hours and I hope everyone has a fantastic day!

Here I am with another pair of animal print shoes. They’re too cute to not share and under $15! They’re perfect and so on trend right now! I’d definitely try a much more affordable pair before investing in a more expensive pair of something that’s super trendy. That way if you love them and they’re still a popular trend, you can invest in the future.

Happy Monday! I’m back from the wedding weekend, although I think I’m still recovering. Is anyone else in denial about their age? Because sometimes I forget that I’ve left my 20s behind and then pay for it for like a week. Luckily, that doesn’t stop me from wanting to shop online!
