I got my order from Forever 21 for our upcoming trip.  I was going to wait to share all of my looks but decided I want to do a post because it’s all SO cute and I don’t want them to be sold out!  I have had a somewhat hard time linking things because they can go fast.  I was obviously looking for dresses and rompers, so that is what they all are!

Dress | Clare V Alice bag

First things first, everyone needs a chambray dress(and shirt for that matter)!  I love the statement sleeves on this dress as well as the ruffles at the bottom.  I bought the medium mostly for height but it is also a lot of fabric and it fits well.  This bag doesn’t seem to be on their site but I really need it!  Clare V has an amazing bag that I just can’t seem to splurge on just yet(linked it above)!

Romper

Love, Love, Love the red stripes and the ruffles!  If you saw my insta stories you heard me say that this romper is definitely short but I am short so it works!  I bought the L.

Romper

This romper is great because it’s a little bit dressier and has a romantic combo of stripes and flowers.  I am also digging the little opening that hits in just the right spot!  You can still wear a bra!  I bought the L.

Dress

I really wanted to love this.  I should have known it wasn’t going to work.  I bought it with the intent to stitch up the low neckline a couple of inches(which would be super easy).  But sometimes, you just shouldn’t have to try that hard.  It is just too top heavy for me.  I am wondering if I should try the medium(bought the L)….Less fabric would be better.

Dress | Bag(other option)

I consider these two items total Steals!  This bag is only $17.90, and I am so mad because I can’t find it on their site anymore.  If it comes back I will for sure link it!  I linked a super cute one from Amazon that I would have bought had I not found this.  This DRESS!!!  IT was only $14.90!  lol, I mean that is actually laughable.  Get it before it’s gone, gone, gone!

A few F21 online shopping tips….If it says that you can only return online, you can totally still return in store.  You just have to ask!  They are usually very helpful.  Don’t use paypal!  lol, I have a habit of this but if you order a bunch of stuff and want to return it in store, they can’t put it back on your card.  This is due to the security of paypal.  Also true for a lot of stores.  Just an FYI.

XOXO,

Sandals | Earrings

Happy Monday!  I swear even being a stay at home mom, Mondays just stink!  Why do the weekends have to go so fast?!?!?  This past Saturday, my cousin and I finally got our schedules together and did a photo shoot so I have a few looks coming at you this week!  I like to consider this look a perfect lunch look.  It definitely entails the 4C’s.  Cute, comfy, casual, clothes….so even if I had the kids with me it could be functional.  Otherwise known as, I can chase Max if needed.  lol.

I bought this sweater a couple of weeks ago at a boutique in Chicago.  It’s super comfortable and I absolutely love how it is tighter at the waist.  One of my favorite details of all time is puffy sleeves!  I know in a way they are similar to shoulder pads….eek!  But puffy sleeves are just so feminine. Plus, everyone needs a tan sweater that they can throw on when you are in need of a neutral!

These jeans……Ok, first of all, I have literally only bought skinny jeans in I don’t know how many years but the trend is totes moving back towards other fits of denim.  I got the pair I am wearing at old navy, and since I am only 5’2″, the length makes a great ankle fit.  The raw crooked hem is an added bonus and adds so much to what could have been a very basic outfit.

My bracelet is a favorite of mine, I seriously pair it with a TON of outfits.  Its such a classic, chunky, link!  I also own the matching necklace but don’t usually wear them together!

For some reason, when I was picking this outfit, I immediately thought of my locket.  This locket was my great grandmas and even still has pictures of her and my great grandpa.  I love being able to combine old & new!  Since I can’t link this locket, I found another option that is the same size and is even engravable.

I truly believe that shoes & handbags make the outfit.  When I first bought these shoes last summer I was so confused by them.  Velvet sandals?  I mean, I feel like velvet is really for the winter…..but really, who cares?!??!  They are CUTE!  As far as handbags, we will save this for another post!  I could talk about purses for days……you can never have too many!

Let’s make it a great week!

XOXO,

We are heading out on a weekend getaway in a couple of weeks, to a much warmer climate, sans kids!  Yay!  So of course, I have been on a fashion mission.

I have been wanting to get a super cute black and white gingham bathing suit but all of them seemed to be bikinis.  When I found this one piece it seemed practical, cute, unique, and also inexpensive!  Win, win (It also comes in 3 other colors)!  I am really digging the neckline, not to mention, the back has this fun tie which makes the front more supportive for those of us that need it🙋🏻‍♀️!

I literally lived in denim shorts last summer, and plan to again!

Heart shaped sunnies is where it’s at!  I found a pair that is only $7.99, you are welcome!  lol

Tory Burch really kills it in the sandal department.  They are also like walking on pillows!

Fun Beach Hats are a good way to be fashionable and play it safe!  Keep your face protected from all those harmful rays.

Happy Thursday!

XOXO,
