DATE NIGHT UNDER $100 🤎

These under-$40 pants are officially becoming one of the hardest-working pieces in my closet.

For date night, I paired them with a fitted top, heels, gold jewelry + a polished bag.

The verdict? 7/10.

The pants PASS ✔️ Flattering, comfortable + they look much more expensive than they are.

The overall styling? A little safe for date night, so I’m already thinking about how I’d style them differently next time.

The pants stayed breathable, held their shape, and looked expensive. The outfit, however, needed a more fitted top to balance the proportions and make movement easier.

What I wore to a kids’ birthday party in 95° heat ☀️

This dress was such a good find for a HOT summer day. It’s lined, lightweight + breathable, and I love the scoop-neck detail without it feeling too low or revealing.

Cute, comfortable + mom-life approved. 🤍
