The last few days of school always have a certain energy. 😂

The kids are suddenly discovering missing assignments, acting completely shocked, and I’m over here thinking… “Interesting, because I’m pretty sure I’ve mentioned it about 100 freaking times.” 🤦‍♀️📚

Meanwhile, I’m just trying to survive another hot day in a classroom with no A/C. ☀️🥵

Today’s outfit is doing the heavy lifting:

💕 Lightweight silky barrel-leg pants with the prettiest lace detail at the hem
💕 A summer-weight gingham top
💕 Pink Birkenstocks because comfort wins every time
💕 Thrifted handmade earrings that might be my favorite part of the outfit

Honestly, thrifting is magical sometimes. You can find the most beautiful one-of-a-kind pieces that nobody else is wearing. ✨

It’s too hot to think about fashion today.

So I threw on an Old Navy dress, my oldest pair of sandals, some TJ Maxx earrings, & called it good. ☀️

The hairspray, however, is working overtime.

Black balloon pants from Old Navy, a black cami that’s been hanging around long enough to earn vintage status, ancient gladiator sandals, & a new kimono from Three Bird Nest.

Can we talk about kimonos for a minute?

I’m completely obsessed.

Throw one over a simple outfit like this & suddenly it looks like you put in way more effort than you actually did. Pair it with a tank & distressed jeans, layer it over a summer dress, toss it on over a bathing suit… it just works.

Also, this gold color has me in a chokehold lately. 💛

It’s not replacing my long-standing love affair with red just yet… but it’s definitely making a strong case for itself.

Finished it off with some oversized boho jewelry in mixed metals because subtle wasn’t the vibe today.

A pair of men’s jeans, a white handkerchief top, a bandana tied around my waist for a little color, & the same sandals I’ve had forever. ❤️

We were outside during free time today, walking laps & getting some fresh air when one of my students looked at me and said:

“Mrs. Higgins… I hope that when I get to be your age, I’m just like you.”

Well.

I wasn’t expecting that.

I laughed, thanked her, & kept walking, but I’ve been thinking about it ever since.

Of all the compliments I’ve received over the years, that one might be one of my favorites.

The outfit was cute.

The comment was even better. 🥹✨

Weekend farmer’s market adventures. ☀️🌿

I’m finally getting around to posting this fit from yesterday.

The tomatoes came home with me because they were juicy & looked too good to pass up. I grabbed some fresh spring mix for salads, radishes, a honeybee-scented goat milk soap that smells absolutely divine, & of course a bag of homemade apple cider cinnamon donuts because sometimes happiness comes in donut form. 🍩😂

The hibiscus iced tea was also non-negotiable. At this point it’s basically part of my farmer’s market routine.

We wandered through the vendors, enjoyed the sunshine, people watched, & admired what felt like every dog in town. It’s one of the few times I think, “Maybe I need a dog.” Then I remember who would be walking it at 5 AM in February. 😆

We also stopped downtown for breakfast. A lightly toasted jalapeño cheddar bagel piled with bacon, egg, cheese, sausage, & a drizzle of maple syrup. Was it a caloric splurge? Absolutely. Was it worth it? Also absolutely.

As for the outfit… lightweight, comfortable, breathable, & most importantly, I wasn’t sweating my ass off. That’s a weekend win in my book. ☀️

🏝️ This swimsuit is giving major Mary Ann vibes & I am not mad about it. 😆

Based on the little TV show idea I came up with in this video, it’s pretty obvious Gilligan’s Island was one of my favorite shows growing up. 📺🌴

Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ll be over here waiting for the S.S. Minnow to pick me up. 🛟☀️

☀️ A local downtown concert seemed like the perfect excuse to pull this one together.

A strappy linen top, gold crinkle barrel pants, comfy sandals, gold jewelry, & a navy trucker hat that somehow ended up being exactly what this outfit needed.

The funny thing is, I think my favorite part might be the purse. ✨

It’s a thrifted beaded bag with little bits of gold, blue, cream, & brown woven throughout it. The kind of thing that most of us buy, tuck away in a closet, & save for a special occasion.

Not anymore.

Lately I’ve been trying to wear the things I love instead of waiting for the “right” time.

The gold buckles on the sandals, the gold lettering on the hat, the gold jewelry, the gold pants… somehow it all came together. 💛

And honestly, that’s become my favorite kind of outfit.

Not because it’s trendy.

Not because it’s what someone says I’m supposed to wear.

Just because I like it.

Somewhere along the way we started worrying about what’s in style, what’s out of style, what we’re “supposed” to wear, & whether someone else will approve.

Who the fuck cares? 😂

Wear the purse.

Wear the hat.

Mix the gold.

Buy the pants.

And if the Urban Outfitters app happens to be responsible for the hat… well… maybe don’t judge me. 🤦🏼‍♀️😂

Life is way too short to save the good stuff for someday. 💛✨

💗 Barrel-cut track pants from a local boutique, the prettiest embroidered tank from Target, pink Birkenstocks, & my favorite Yankees cap (the 47 fit every single time).

A little gold. A little silver. A little leather.

The bag is Target too. It was so good I bought it in brown before I could regret it.

Now it’s me, a shit ton of grading, & caffeine.

And somehow this random jellyfish shirt ended up being perfect for Hawaiian Shirt Day. 🪼🌺

☀️ Tuesday sunshine, pre-summer weather, & a dress with pockets.

Honestly, that’s enough to make me happy. 😍

Bonus: it has a built-in slip underneath, so no worries about it being see-through.

Simple summer outfits have my heart lately. ☀️

Cropped jeans, a breezy linen top with the sweetest ribbon detail in the back, nude gladiators, & a little turquoise jewelry.

The curls are doing their own thing these days too. The less I fight them, the better they seem to look. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Friday’s fit is amazing. ❤️

The oversized barrel cargos? Completely outside my normal comfort zone… which is probably why I’m so obsessed with them. They’re ridiculously lightweight, crazy comfortable, & I can already tell they’ll be sticking around well beyond summer.

The red striped babydoll tank? Yeah… my current personality trait at this point. 😂 I’ve been reaching for red more & more lately & I’m not even pretending to fight it.

Added the leopard print Vans because why not? 🐆 Then topped everything off with my “Hold Your Horses” trucker hat from a local boutique. The earrings came from a farmers market vendor last year & the jewelry situation remains exactly what you’d expect: gold, silver, all of it at once. ✨

I was originally planning to wear a graphic tee with these cargos, but once I put this together, the graphic tee never stood a chance.

Also… shoutout to my husband for helping me pick the hat this morning. He intentionally matched it to the Vans, which honestly impressed me more than it probably should have. The man is learning. 🤠😂

A little mix of splurge & bargain today ✨🌿

The floral linen pants are an older 2025 Free People purchase that still feels worth every penny every time I pull them out. The twill tank? Target 🤍

This whole outfit just feels really light & airy. The kind of thing you throw on when you don’t want to feel restricted or overheated all day. I can already tell this tank is going to end up mixed into a bunch of different outfits over the next few months ☀️

I went back & forth on the topper situation this morning. The lightweight Target cardigan felt easy & casual… but the cropped Free People lace kimono definitely added more personality. I ended up going with the sweater today, but now I’m curious which one everyone else would’ve picked for future outfits 👀

The gladiators are practically archaeological at this point 😂 I’ve had them forever. That soft nude color gives that almost barefoot look & somehow still works after all these years 🤎

Also… first full day debuting the fresh hair color 💇🏼‍♀️ I’ve already gotten a few compliments which is nice… but part of me is still wondering if people are secretly thinking: “girl… what exactly did you do?” 😂

It may be Wednesday… but this outfit feels very “easy Monday” to me 😂

One of those throw-it-on outfits for when your brain is already tired of making decisions before the day even starts.

Old Navy absolutely carried this one:
a breezy black maxi dress + snakeskin gladiators & done.

The dress itself is just free & easy… but honestly the real shocker here is the Amazon strapless bra I’m wearing underneath. WHY is it actually comfortable? No weird squeezing. No pulling it up every 14 minutes. No rage. I kinda forgot I even had it on which feels medically impossible for a strapless bra.

Small victories.

Has anyone else noticed the explosion of those flowy little babydoll tanks on Amazon lately? Because honestly… I get it now 😂

This airy top might officially be my new favorite. I paired it with relaxed track pants, mint green Vans & way too much jewelry today… but I was feeling the teal tones in the pants & just kept going with it. Also… gold & silver together forever. I refuse to choose sides at this point.

Meanwhile… hair appointment this week 👀
The grow-out situation is definitely getting more noticeable now & I’m starting to really see what I’ve apparently been covering up all these years. Weirdly enough… I’m not hating it. SO FAR. Lol.

Also… 4 day week 🙌
& only 15 class days left after today which honestly feels fake.

Holy crap. We got this.

Yesterday was dead ass lazy & I leaned all the way into it. 😂

No makeup.
No “doing” the hair.
Just an oversized Amazon tee with “It Is What It Is” across the back… honestly my life slogan lately.

Threw it on with red boardshorts, green Vans, my “Let The Good Times Roll” hat & RayBans because the sun finally decided to show up during the LAST 4 HOURS of Memorial Day weekend.

WTF even was that weather? ☀️🌧️
Mother Nature was in a mood this weekend… although my flowers are living their best lives from all the rain so I guess somebody benefited.

Also… shoutout to the hubs for hanging all my hats in my dressing room (formerly known as Matt’s room… sorry bud 😂). I was FULLY planning on doing that project myself until my husband started asking weird responsible adult questions like, “Do you have a tape measure?” Sir… what do you mean I need a tape measure? 😑😂

This whole outfit felt very “retired camp counselor who gave up.” 😂

I literally just bought these brown barrel pants from Old Navy but I already have a feeling they’re going to get a lot of wear this summer. They’re ridiculously comfortable, hold their shape & don’t get sloppy after sitting all day… which immediately earns bonus points from me. 😂 I grabbed them in khaki too because once I find pants I actually like, I usually commit.

The little red top was a TJ Maxx find & honestly… old me would’ve NEVER picked red. I used to avoid it completely & lived in neutrals. Somewhere along the line this year I started liking it & now I keep reaching for it more & more. Weird. ❤️

Finished it off with the Old Navy workwear jacket, red jellies & some turquoise jewelry because the brown/red combo needed a little something extra today. ✨ https://www.shopltk.com/explore/Teacher_Fits_by_Lora

Running late = baseball cap & no further questions asked 🧢

Threw on this cardigan from Three Bird Nest & I’m not being dramatic when I say… this thing might become a problem.
Bright, cozy, oversized, & yes… it has pockets (which automatically makes it superior to most things in life).

Paired it with my Target overalls & a Sesame Street tee because… Grover.
No explanation needed. He’s elite. 💙

Finished it off with my Birkenstock slides I scored at TJ Maxx for less than full price, which honestly made my entire day.

Jewelry = kept it simple
• initial necklace
• hoops
• a few beads to feel slightly put together

Was this outfit planned?
Absolutely not.
Did it work out anyway?
Also yes.

It’s Friday.
The sun’s out.
Mood slightly improved.
We’re rolling with it ☀️

Listen… these Walmart cropped jeans had absolutely NO business being this good for $28. Like excuse me??? WHAT?!? 🤯

First of all:
✔️ stretchy but they don’t stretch OUT
✔️ high waisted enough to hold things together a bit
✔️ normal human booty pockets (women know exactly what I mean here 😭)
✔️ perfect crop length for literally everything

Jelly flats? yes.
Flip flops? yep.
Cute sneakers? obviously.
Clogs, boots, heels? honestly… all of it works.

And maybe it’s just me but a cropped jean showing a little ankle is kinda cute 😂

For reference:
I’m 5’8 & around 150–155ish these days & grabbed a size 10. Fit is PERFECT.

Since today is the last day before Memorial Day weekend, it only felt right to lean full red, white & blue teacher mode.

Top is a Max Studio find from TJ Maxx, Yankees cap because obviously ⚾️ & the little star earrings were too fitting not to wear today.

Anyways… Happy Friday Eve.

And seriously… $28 for jeans that actually FIT right & look cute?? In this economy??? We may all need to calm down.

This pretty little fit just screams summer ☀️🌸

These pink & blue gingham pants are SO lightweight & breezy — basically the answer for those of us who want to survive a hot summer day without forcing ourselves into shorts 😅

Paired them with this white eyelet babydoll tank from Target & honestly… I’m obsessed. Feminine, airy, comfortable & cute without trying too hard.

And because the universe aligned perfectly for once… the pink Birkenstocks had to make an appearance 💕 Found these at TJ Maxx for an absolute steal a while back & they’ve quietly become one of my favorite summer grabs.

The pants are Free People from last summer (I’ll link a super similar pair) & the top is Universal Thread from Target ✨

Also… can we take a second for the flower dangles? 🌼 Clearly all this poolside planting lately is influencing my personality at this point 😂 Future backyard pics are definitely coming.

Ran into Walmart after work for “a few things” & somehow ended up fully distracted by the women’s section 😅

Not even kidding… Walmart is seriously stepping up their game lately.
These jeans? SO good.
And this blouse? Soft, pretty & one of those pieces that instantly feels easy to wear.

Definitely did not expect to walk out impressed… but here we are 👏🏼

Monday morning.
4 day work week. Memorial Day weekend is on the horizon. Summer is basically right around the corner & I couldn’t be more excited!

Today’s fit was fully inspired by the possibility of a 90° classroom with no AC… which means cute & comfy without sweating my ass off 😵‍💫

These Old Navy crinkle balloon pants are genuinely one of my favorite purchases lately. Lightweight, breezy & now I want them in every color. I paired them with this older red flowy Gap tank that still comes out every summer because the detailing is just that good.

Also… sleeveless immediately tricks me into thinking I’m 10 degrees cooler mentally (the shock of a teacher showing off her shoulders…. I think we’ve finally gotten over that right?).

And then there’s the sandals. Can we just take a moment… to appreciate.

Listen.
I’ve been harshly judging Crocs from a distance for YEARS (& you know the style I am referring to)… yet somehow these gladiator sandals are the absolute chef’s kiss 😭

I’m not proud of how comfortable they are.
But I will absolutely be living in these deep into Fall.

(Quick tip: they definitely run big — so be sure to size them down. I wear a 9 so I bought a size 8 & they fit perfectly!).

Spent part of the morning sitting by the pool planning flowers for the patio pots… while flipping through one of my million garden books looking for “inspiration” (aka copying ideas from people who actually know how to arrange plants).

A few little patio updates are slowly coming together too:
the pillows, umbrella, planters, random décor pieces that somehow make me irrationally happy 🤓

So naturally… I ended up making an LTK recreate-the-look post because apparently this is my new personality trait now.

Honestly though?
I’m having way too much fun!!!

Today’s fit was built entirely around this adorable little Aerie tee 😂🌈

The colors are SO out of the ordinary for me — bright yellow, baby blue & burgundy — which honestly is exactly why I gravitated toward it in the first place.

Immediately gave me Ernie from Sesame Street vibes 😅Now where’s Bert?

Pulled out my tried & true Gap barrel jeans because they just work every single time & then matched the burgundy in the tee with my burgundy Vans ❤️🤌

Finished everything off with this versatile little star necklace from Urban Outfitters ⭐️ Honestly this thing is going to be cute all summer long — Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day… all of it.

Hair is doing that “air dried yesterday & slept on recklessly” thing today so apparently we’re channeling Whitesnake energy for this Friday 🫠

Not mad about it.

These are the kinds of outfits that make me feel the most confident because nothing about it feels forced. I’m comfortable. I’m relaxed. I’m not tugging at anything all day. I just feel GOOD.

Funny how the right outfit can completely shift your mood. 😊

The older I get… the more fascinating women become to me.

Botox.
Fillers.
Lasers.
Extensions.
Threads.
Weight loss injections.
Collagen powders.
20-step skincare routines.
Supplements lined up like a pharmacy.

And honestly?
I get it.

No woman wakes up excited to watch herself age.

Especially in a world that rewards women for looking 27 forever while simultaneously telling us to “age gracefully.”

That’s a mindfuck if we’re being honest.

Me?
At 56… I’m somewhere in the middle of all of it.

I strength train.
I walk.
I stretch.
I eat vegetables.
I prioritize protein.
I try to sleep.
I manage stress.
I get outside.

Basically all the boring things we were taught as kids… that actually matter.

And yes…
I still eat the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups too.

My skincare routine?
Sensitive skin face wash & Oil of Olay.
Been using it since I was a teenager.

Do I have wrinkles?
Of course I do.
I’m 56.

And if you’re younger & judging women for aging…
please understand:
if you’re lucky to stay alive long enough, it’s coming for you too.

The truth is…
I’m not trying to be 25 again.

I want to feel strong.
Clear headed.
Capable.
Healthy.
Mobile.
Alive inside my own body.

And honestly?
The very last thing I’m hanging onto is my hair color.

I’ve started thinking about growing it out naturally.
Not because I’m giving up.
Maybe because I’m tired of fighting myself.

I think aging gracefully isn’t about surrendering.

It’s about deciding what’s actually worth exhausting yourself over.

Most of us are probably somewhere in the middle.
Trying to take care of ourselves while also learning how to accept ourselves.

Anyway.
Just thoughts from a 56-year-old woman figuring it out in real time.

Today’s vibe = a little western… if western girls wore flowy linen drawstring pants while wrangling cattle 🤠

Added some fringe because honestly… why not.

And for my fellow tall girls… THESE PANTS ARE ACTUALLY LONG ENOUGH 👏🏼😂
No high-water flood pants over here today… even if rain is expected.
A rare & beautiful moment.

Finished it off with clear jelly slides for that “simulated” barefoot I don’t care energy ✨

Now excuse me while I go teach health class looking like I own crystals, drink iced tea on a porch somewhere & maybe sell handmade pottery on weekends.

It looks like these pants are no longer available. But I did link several incredibly adorable options.

These Old Navy crinkle drawstring pants were never going to be a “buy one color & move on” situation 🍅😂

The second I put on the “tomato” pair (NOT red… tomato lol) I already knew I’d be going back for more. So yes… the gold & black may have followed me home too. Mind your business.

Today I paired them with my husband’s RedBull Racing Formula 1 tee that I immediately claimed as my own because it matched the pants better on me anyway 🏁

Also… who even is the guy on the back of this shirt? No clue. Couldn’t tell you. I just liked the colors.

And the white Vans? Honestly giving old-school white Keds nostalgia from high school except these feel like slippers & I’m not mad about it.

For reference:
I’m 5’8” & around 155 lbs wearing a medium in the pants. If you’re tall, they’ll fit more cropped. If you’re shorter, they’ll have that loose baggy fit ✨

They say dress for the job you want… not the one you have.

So naturally here I am on a Monday morning dressed like I should be sipping something fruity at a resort instead of answering emails & listening to the sound of the first bell. 🌺

This Old Navy matching set honestly feels like pajamas… but somehow still looks pulled together enough to pass as a functioning adult outfit. Lightweight linen, peachy spring color, comfy as hell & zero regrets.

And the jelly flats? Well naturally I needed a pop of red ❤️

Today’s outfit = zero overthinking.

Oversized teeBarrel linen drawstrings doing their loose, forgiving thingComfy little jellies because… I’ve reached the “my feet matter” phase of life

That’s it. That’s the look.

I’ve got a hair appointment later…and we’re having a conversation.

Nothing dramatic—just… a casual mention of maybe letting some of those grays start doing their thing.

We’ll see how brave I feel in the chair.

Also—can’t link this exact outfit yet because it’s from Amazon & I’m still sitting here waiting for that approval process like it’s a college acceptance letter.

BUT… I’ll recreate something really similar because these pants?Stupid comfortable. Like… immediately yes.

Anyway—this is what showed up today.Low effort. Comfortable. Done.

“Act your age.”

Yeah… I don’t think I’m ever gonna do that. 😂

I’ll probably be the gray-haired old woman still wearing graphic tees, fun little sneakers, stacked jewelry, & getting way too excited over TJ Maxx finds.

Today’s fit:✨ plaid trousers (hand-me-down from my daughter)✨ a new Blondie tee from Old Navy✨ thrifted black Loft blazer✨ red kicks from TJ Maxx✨ pearl & gold jewelry that may or may not be a little extra

But honestly… if you own the jewelry, wear the damn jewelry. I mean, what are we saving it for? 😏

Today’s one of those random school field trip days where I get to escape the classroom chaos, stop living by the bell for a few hours, & pretend I’m a normal functioning adult out in society. 😂

The only thing stressing me out right now is figuring out how I’m going to hit my protein goal because we’re stopping at some fast food restaurant instead of packing lunches. Wish me luck making a decision there. I know… real world problems. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Honestly though, packing a lunch for a field trip is such a pain in the ass when you have to drag it around all day with students. Sometimes life just makes you pivot & hopefully that restaurant menu has at least a few decent choices for me. 😂

Tonight? Eye doctor appointment for my husband, maybe an ice cold beer 🍺 & whatever else this Friday decides to turn into.

Happy Friday friends 💋 https://www.shopltk.com/explore/Teacher_Fits_by_Lora
