Partnering with Walmart to share some of my favorite new Free Assembly arrivals and honestly… these pieces just work together so seamlessly. From the bold florals to the easy skirts and summer pants, everything mixes, matches, and makes getting dressed so simple for summer.

Whether you have beach trips, summer dinners, casual weekends, church, vacation, or just want outfits that feel pulled together without trying too hard… these pieces are so good. I love that every look feels elevated, colorful, and effortless while still being budget friendly.

Wearing an XS for reference and every piece is from Walmart’s Free Assembly line.

Comment AMAZON and I’ll send all my beauty favorites (mostly from Amazon)

Almost 50 and these are the products I keep reordering over and over again because they actually work for my dry, tired, perimenopause skin 😂 From glossy skin boosters to collagen masks, hydrating serums, and makeup staples… these are my ride or dies.

Some are affordable finds, some are splurges, but every one earned a permanent spot in my routine. And when teachers at school start asking why your skin “glistens”… you keep buying them 🤍
