This dress feels made for breezy beach days. The lightweight striped fabric is cool and comfortable, the loose fit makes it easy to move in, and the collared neckline gives it just enough polish. Plus… pockets. Need I say more?

It’s lightweight, breezy, and effortlessly comfortable for warm-weather days. The collared neckline, playful stripe pattern, roomy fit, and pockets make it an easy summer favorite.

Some dresses make a statement. This one speaks fluent Sanibel. 🐚

Sanibel Island is one of the top shelling destinations in the world thanks to its unique east-west orientation, which allows the island to collect shells from the Gulf along its shores.

So this dress felt especially appropriate for a day on the island. The cream background, beautiful blue shell appliqués, square neckline, flattering smocked waist, and breezy maxi length are every bit as charming as the shells that make Sanibel Island famous.

I hope y’all had the sweetest Memorial Day. 🇺🇸

We spent the day here in Florida with family, soaking up sunshine, good food, and time together… and all day long, I kept thinking about the reason we’re able to enjoy days like this in the first place.

I’m grateful grateful grateful for the men and women who gave their lives for our country and for the freedoms we so often take for granted. I love that we live in a country that sets aside a day to remember, honor, and give thanks for that sacrifice. ❤️

This darling seersucker dress is perfect for all of your patriotic celebrations this year. The smocked bodice is SO flattering, the little ruffle details are extra feminine, and it’s one of those easy summer dresses that still feels polished and put-together. I paired it with pearl accessories and my Chloe raffia bag for the prettiest patriotic summer look.

And yes… it has pockets. 🙌🏻

The dress is currently 30% off with code LONGWKND.

This beautiful maxi dress combines coastal charm with an effortlessly polished silhouette. Featuring a square neckline, thick ruched straps, a flattering smocked waist, and a breezy maxi length, it's as comfortable as it is pretty. The cream background is adorned with stunning blue shell appliqués, making it the perfect choice for beach vacations, coastal getaways, and sunny summer days.

#LTKdayinmylife #LTKOver40 #LTKTravel

These raffia sandals are such a fun way to add a little coastal charm to your outfit. The woven texture, gold shell accents, and starfish details give them a beachy, elevated feel that’s perfect for vacations, summer dinners, or everyday wear. They’re true to size, wide-foot friendly, and easy to slip on with everything from dresses to shorts and linen pants.

This month’s SO in the KNOW roundup is full of the random, fascinating, helpful, clever, and joy-sparking finds I’ve been loving lately… from the body makeup that finally convinced me to retire my old orange “drugstore legs,” to the viral summer skirt that somehow goes with everything, the tiny travel gadget now permanently living in my bag, and the practical little life upgrades I immediately ordered for our home.

I linked everything for you here in my ShopMy/LTK, but you can also read all the details, reviews, thoughts, and funny little backstories behind each find over on EmptyNestBlessed.com: https://emptynestblessed.com/2026/05/26/so-in-the-know-what-im-learning-loving-in-my-empty-nest-in-may-2026/

This swimsuit is such a fun, feminine find for summer vacations, beach days, and cruises. One of my favorite things about Flaxmaker Swim is that all of their suits come with matching skirts, so they’re perfect for going straight from the beach to brunch.

#LTKOver40 #LTKSwim #LTKTravel

Such a cute summer dress for Memorial Day, the Fourth of July, and all those sunny days in between! The smocked bodice is incredibly flattering, the cotton seersucker fabric is lightweight and breathable, and the little ruffle details make it feel extra feminine and fun. It’s effortless, comfortable, and still looks so put-together.

WHAT YOU THINK YOU SEE: A jumpsuit.
WHAT YOU REALLY SEE: A jumpsuit that still looks chic… but has a split back that makes using the restroom a snap. 🙌🏻✈️

WHAT YOU THINK YOU SEE: Suzy going to Florida for 3 weeks with one suitcase.
WHAT YOU DON’T SEE: Suzy’s other 3 suitcases. 😂

But truly… this may be one of the smartest travel outfits I’ve packed in a long time. It’s soft, lightweight, sporty, comfortable, and somehow still manages to look polished. The navy with the white piping gives it such a classic look, and it comes in lots of other colors too!

I paired it with machine-washable white canvas sneakers, pearl accessories, and a white jacket for an easy look that’s perfect for weekend travel.

I’m convinced there’s a secret meeting where everyone decides what’s “in” and “out”… and I’m never invited. 😂

One minute I’m thriving… the next minute I find out my socks, sneakers, and handbag silhouette are all outdated.

And I figured if I feel this way sometimes, maybe some of y’all do too. So I did a deep dive to bring us all up to speed. 😄

Honestly? I’m VERY into these newer trends for women over 50… healthier aging, glowy skin, slower living, and all the pretty softer colors showing up everywhere right now.

Nobody warns you that becoming a grandma turns you into someone who suddenly wants a drawer full of pretty greeting cards. 💗

I’ve been writing little notes to my 3 1/2 year old granddaughter lately, and these new greeting cards from Joy Creative Shop are just perfect for that. The colors are so cheerful, the messages are sweet, and they feel extra special for those little “thinking of you” notes she can tuck away someday.

And honestly? They’re also wonderful to keep on hand for all the moments that pop up throughout the year when you want to send a thoughtful note instead of a text.

Blue and white and feeling just right for Summer 🇺🇸

Tell me this isn’t the sweetest little look… it’s crisp, classic, and just feels happy the second you put it on.
💙🤍💙
This sleeveless poplin dress brings that perfect mix of structure and ease. It’s polished enough for all the patriotic holidays, but classic enough that you’ll be reaching for it all summer long (and honestly… well beyond that).

The all-cotton poplin is soft and breathable, the button placket and collar keep it tailored, and the tie waist gives it that flattering shape. And yes, it has pockets (always a win).
👍🏻👏🏻
I paired it with navy patent sandals and pearl accessories for a clean, timeless finish.

It’s 40% off right now, which makes it even more fun!

This seashell print dress is giving full-on coastal vacation energy in the best way. The romantic silhouette and soft seaside colors make it such a fun piece for beach dinners, vacation nights, or summer events, and I love how cheerful and playful it feels for Sanibel Island season. 🐚🌴

#LTKOver40 #LTKSeasonal #LTKTravel

I’m convinced there’s a secret meeting where everyone decides what’s “in” and “out”… and somehow, I never get the invite! 😂

One minute I’m feeling very on-trend, and the next I’m finding out my socks, sneakers, and handbag shape are all “dated.” So I did a little deep dive for all of us!

The good news? I’m loving these newer trends for women over 50—healthier aging, glowy skin, softer colors, and a slower, more intentional way of living. Linking a few of my favorite finds to help us feel current, confident, and pulled together! 💕

#LTKOver40 #LTKBeauty #LTKstorytime

I always feel like I’m the last one to know what’s “in” and what’s “out”… so naturally, I went down the internet rabbit hole for all of us. 😂

From healthier skincare and softer colors to retro sneakers, east/west bags, and the end of “anti-aging” talk… these are some of the trends, mindset shifts, and style changes everyone’s talking about right now. Some made me laugh, some surprised me, and honestly… a few of them make a lot of sense.

Everything in this roundup is linked for you in one place. 💗

Many thanks to @wfaagmt for having me on Good Morning Texas to talk about the “3 Keys to Long-Lasting Love.”

I loved talking all things marriage with @erinhuntertv and sharing tips that have kept our marriage going strong for nearly 40 years.

And YES! I wore an Amazon dress for my interview (and got lots of compliments!). We laughed about how well I matched the set and Erin too!

Turns out “appliance shopping outfit” is absolutely a thing now. 😏

This tonal seersucker maxi was perfect for a full day of appliance decisions because it’s lightweight, comfortable, wrinkle-resistant, and SO easy to wear. The smocking, ruffled shoulders, and pockets make it feel extra special without sacrificing comfort.

And these accessories completely made the outfit. The jewel-encrusted mesh Mary Janes are such a fun statement, and the Lele Sadoughi x The Met earrings are little wearable works of art.
