What I actually wore last week.

Not a capsule wardrobe.
Not a shopping haul.
Not outfits I wish I wore.

Just the clothes I reached for while teaching, chaperoning an 8th grade dance, packing up my classroom, going on a field trip, and watching the World Cup.

I’ve stopped trying to build a closet full of fantasy outfits and started paying attention to what I genuinely want to wear in my real life.

Turns out, comfort gets worn. A lot.

Which outfit would you actually wear? 👇

Such a fun family game to play.

#LTKdayinmylife #LTKHome #LTKTravel

Outfit for today’s World Cup game. Wide leg white jeans with front patch pockets and white burn-style sandals.

#LTKootd #LTKSeasonal #LTKMidsize

Casual Saturday outfit for errands and lunch. Size down in the shirt. Shorts are TTS.

#LTKootd #LTKMidsize #LTKSeasonal

The item I forgot to pack! This is what I normally use for long walking days, travel, theme parks, etc.

#LTKselfcare #LTKActive #LTKMidsize

Dance recital outfit 🤍 Comfortable enough to sit through hours of performances and still feel put together.

At this point in my life, if I can’t sit, walk, dance, and breathe in it, it’s not coming with me.

Concert outfit details linked here.

#LTKMidsize #LTKgrwm #LTKOver40

Cute spring work outfits… but still realistic enough to survive a full school day 🌸 like and comment SPRING for links!

These are the kinds of outfits I actually gravitate toward when I want to feel comfortable, put together, and able to move around all day without thinking about my clothes 🤍

Sizing up for my stomach only to have the legs huge? Yeah. I stopped dressing for a flatter stomach and started dressing for my actual life instead.
No sucking in. No adjusting. Just dressed. 🤍

I went to the mall because my daughter was hanging out with her boyfriend and I had returns to make…

…and somehow still came home with sunglasses, jewelry, and a dress 😅🤍

Simple outfits have been winning for me lately 🤍
Easy wide leg pants, a fitted tank, and a lightweight layer that makes the whole outfit feel finished without sacrificing comfort. This is the kind of outfit I actually want to stay in all day.

Everything is true to size!

Five bottoms I reach for on repeat for work or errands or anything else. Everything is TTS. If in between sizes, size DOWN.

#LTKWorkwear #LTKMidsize #LTKootd

Good enough for date night or for sitting on the floor grading papers during recital rehearsal. Flowy dress that doesn’t dig or roll or squeeze. Pair with simple flats and a fun necklace and earrings.

Dress is TTS.

#LTKootd #LTKOver40 #LTKMidsize

All black for Monday to mourn the weekend ending.

This is the kind of look that actually survives a full day — sitting, walking, errands, dinner plans, all of it. Nothing digging, pulling, or needing to be adjusted every five minutes 🙌

Everything is true to size and easy to mix with pieces already in your closet. Linking all the details here ✨

At this point, if a waistband can’t survive a full school day with me… I’m not buying it 😅

These are the kinds of outfits I actually reach for when I want to be comfortable, move around all day, and still feel put together by dismissal 🤍

Wore this to school and for an entire day I was comfortable and able to move around like I needed to.

Today’s teacher outfit 🤍
I’m fully in my “comfortable but still pulled together” era and these pants are exactly that. Lightweight, easy to move in, and perfect for a long day of teaching without feeling restricted by third period. Everything is true to size. #teacherootd #midsizestyle #teacherstyle #midsizefashion #comfyoutfit #casualworkwear #everydaystyle #springoutfit #comfortablestyle #teacherfashion

Wore this out for drinks last night 🤍
One of those outfits that feels a little dressed up without feeling uncomfortable. The denim jacket made it casual enough to actually relax in, and everything is true to size. Perfect for dinner, drinks, or a date night where you still want to feel like yourself. #midsizestyle #dateNightOutfit #casualchic #midsizefashion #teacheroffduty #springoutfit #whitejeansoutfit #denimjacketstyle #everydaystyle #comfortablefashion

Wore this to work yesterday and it passed the “sit at your desk all day” test 🤍
Everything is true to size. The pants were a Honduras find, so I linked a similar pair with the same easy wide-leg feel. Comfortable, lightweight, and teacher-day approved. #midsizestyle #teacherstyle #teacheroutfit #widelegpants #comfystyle #everydayoutfit #springstyle #midsizefashion #casualworkoutfit #outfitideas

Mother’s Day outfit 🤍
Comfortable enough for brunch, photos, walking around, and still feeling put together by the end of the day. The black wide leg pants are so flattering and easy to wear, and this little neutral jacket makes everything feel polished without trying too hard.

Everything is true to size!

“Teacher outfits that don’t start bothering me by lunch” has become a very real category for me lately 😂

I still want to feel put together, but if something is digging in, shifting around, overheating me, or making me adjust it all day… I’m probably not reaching for it anymore.

These are the kinds of outfits I actually WANT to wear for a full school day:
soft fabrics, easy movement, nothing restrictive, and pieces that still feel like me at the end of the day.

Because comfortable and polished can exist at the same time.

#teacherstyle #midsizestyle #teacheroutfits #comfortablefashion #whatfitsnow

Comfortable outfits that still feel put together 🤍

These are the kinds of outfits I actually reach for when I want to feel comfortable all day but still feel cute, polished, and like myself. Think soft pants, easy layers, relaxed fits, and outfits that actually work sitting down 🙌

Comfy but still put together is honestly the hardest combo to find as a midsize woman.

This smocked jumpsuit is soft, lightweight, easy to move in, and actually comfortable sitting down all day. I paired it with my favorite comfy sandals, a denim jacket for layering, and simple gold jewelry for an easy real-life outfit that still feels polished.

Perfect for teacher outfits, casual dinners, errands, travel days, or summer events when you want to feel comfortable without looking underdressed.
