I had the best time speaking to freshmen parents after drop off day this week, and I got so many sweet compliments on this dress! This green gingham midi dress is such a fun mix of classic and feminine, with a collared V-neckline, puff sleeves, button front, and an easy, flattering silhouette. I paired it with ivory leather Mary Jane ballet flats for a polished look that was comfortable enough for a full day on my feet.

I took a chanceI took a chance and tried out a style that was a stretch for me...and I loved it! This purposefully oversized wool-blend elbow-length sleeve sweater was way cuter than I thought, and I love the drape of these not-too-hot for fall linen-blend slacks! I finished it off with a wool-blend cardigan, suede booties and designer dupe earrings. This is a perfect outfit for early fall. Right?

The best days with the best people. 💗

We’re heading home today from the most wonderful long weekend in Park City, Utah, with dear friends, and my heart is so full. Time in God’s creation, deep conversations, incredible food, fresh mountain air, and more laughter than I can even count… these are the kinds of weekends that stay with you long after you unpack your suitcase.

One of my favorite gifts of this empty nest season has been the freedom to say “yes” to weekends like this. Our kids are grown and living their own lives, our schedules are more flexible, and we’ve found so much joy in investing in friendships and making memories together. It’s one of the sweetest surprises of this season of life.

And since so many of you always ask about my travel outfits… this Amazon jumpsuit made the trip with me from the airport to dinner without missing a beat. It fits true to size, comes in multiple colors, and the quality is so good.

My favorite feature is the split back—it kept me cool, let the breeze flow through, and made restroom breaks surprisingly easy (a fellow jumpsuit lover will appreciate that little detail!). 😊
