Last week I went into Target to get one thing and somehow pajamas ended up in my cart. Don’t you just hate that?! I was also really excited to see that my leopard short sleeve pajama set are also back in stock. I wear these all the time because they are so soft and comfy. Target is really killing it in the pajama game because they are so soft and affordable so I’m always buying another set! Be sure to grab a pajama set asap because these do not stay on the rack for long!
Finally after moving into our new house a month ago, my closet is finally unpacked and (kinda!) organized. I’m still moving a few things around and need to find the box labeled my fall wardrobe in the basement, but getting dressed in the morning is so much easier! For a while there, I was living out of boxes and it was a struggle! People at work were nice and said it didn’t look like it, but it was a struggle each morning to find a top that matched a bottom and then I could only find one shoe! LOL
When the new arrivals for fall at Loft hit the stores, I did some browsing and then ended up buying more than I should. Oops! But oh my gosh, this new fall collecting is ah-ma-zing! I’m able to create outfits with a new top with a skirt from an earlier season at Loft because their color pallet never changes so everything always matches. I purchased a few things that my closet was lacking and I knew I could wear during the awkward transition into fall when it’s still hot outside through the colder months of winter. One of the tops I purchased is this ruffle short sleeve top because my closet was lacking easy to wear short sleeve tops for work. The skirt is from last winter but pairs so well with the top and is a nice pop of color instead of a traditional all black outfit.
I’m wearing an xs in the top and have a white cami underneath because it’s a bit sheer. This top could also be perfect with black jeans for a more laid back outfit or a dress down day at work. This will definitely be a top I wear again and again making it worth every penny!
During all of the moving craziness, I started to feel a bit overwhelmed. My entire life was in boxes, I couldn’t find anything, I kept tripping over things because they weren’t where they belong and because of that I was being really hard on myself. Things had to get done, my to do list was forever growing and we needed a lot more than I thought we did for the new home. On one of our trips to Target picking up a few essentials, we walked by the pajama section and these pajamas caught my eye. When I touched them and realized how soft they were, I immediately was like oh my gosh I need these! Seems silly, but I was so excited to go to bed that night with pajamas that matched and were soft!
Life is messy and unpredictable. It’s not easy and sometimes the easy things are more difficult because of unforeseeable bumps in the road. During the move, I was so tired and so critical of myself because no matter how I planned, I could not get everything done in my timeline. Sometimes we need a reminder to take some time for ourselves. To treat ourselves to a cozy blanket or just new soft pajamas. It actually took me over a week to find and then unpack my box filled with pajamas so it was so nice to actually have a set of pajamas during all of the chaos. I swear I washed the pajamas frequently and they were just as soft as when I first bought them!
Here are some things that helped me stay sane during the move….
Cozy pajamas duhh! Super soft and the price was right!
Taking a long shower. There were a lot of late nights and I would feel so gross. I cannot even begin to explain how much better I felt after taking a shower and having some time to myself.
A made bed. Okay, seems silly that with everything else going on that I kept the bed made but it was nice to have something inviting at night when I was ready to collapse and fall asleep.
Keeping the bedroom neat. The rest of the house was a disaster but I made Jake and I keep the bedroom clutter free as much as we could. I can’t sleep being surrounded by a mess so it was a nice escape during the of boxes.
Unpack the kitchen first. It’s usually the easiest room to unpack and it’s nice to say that at least one room is in order while you unpack the rest!
Lately, I have been on the hunt to find a neutral pair of shoes that I can wear with a lot of my outfits and can be worn from work to date night. My usual go to shoe has been the same 4 pairs of flats that I wear all the time to work. I got bored of the same shoes over and over again and wanted to get a neutral heel for when I have meetings and need to get dressed up. On a recent shopping trip, I found these cork heels from Stuart Weitzman and I love finding excuses to wear them. I’ve already worn them to a graduation, a fancy date night and wore them with white jeans to dress up an outfit. I found a pretty alternative cork heel at DSW that are under $60. These shoes really do go with everything and make a statement even if I am just wearing white jeans!
New job means new shoes right? After a few weeks at my new job I’ve been wanting to get new shoes that I can wear to work. Of course they have to look cute but they also have to comfortable while I run around at work all day. Seriously, my Fitbit tracks close to 10,000 steps a day because I am always on the move. I wanted to get a heel that wouldn’t make my feet hurt after 20 minutes of wearing them. Luckily I found a pair of the Caitlin pumps by Marc Fisher. A part of me bought them because they were pink (duhh) but also because they have a blocked heel. After wearing them for a few days I can say that that these are the most comfortable shoes I own! I’ll be heading back to DSW shortly to pick up a few more pairs of these in different colors because the price point is also amazing! Like the saying goes, if the shoe fits (and is comfortable), buy it in every color!
After months of wearing the same black booties to work, I am so excited to start wearing my cute flats and sandals to work again! A while ago, I made a commitment to keep my shoe collection small and only purchase shoes that will last and be worn frequently. I’ve put together some of my favorite shoes that I wear constantly during the warmer months. Some are a splurge and others are super affordable. Below are some of my favorite shoes that I wear the most during the summer.
