Many thanks to @wfaagmt for having me on Good Morning Texas yesterday 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!

This chambray denim dress is such a fresh, easy piece for spring and summer—lightweight 100% cotton with a relaxed, true-to-size fit that feels as good as it looks. The feminine details and easy silhouette make it perfect for everything from errands to lunch, especially paired with these crisp white machine-washable canvas sneakers that are lightweight, breathable, and truly comfortable enough for all-day wear. I finished the look with simple pearl accessories for that classic, polished touch.

It’s light, flattering, and the kind of piece you can slip on and head out the door feeling confident for anything from a backyard gathering to a casual day out. It comes in sizes XS–4X, and there’s also a blue version if you want another option.

And can we talk about these shoes for a second… cherries 🍒 are having a moment, and these lace-up espadrilles are the happiest little finishing touch. They give this dress so much personality and make it feel special well beyond the holiday.
🇺🇸
Perfect for Memorial Day and all the summer moments that follow… easy, cheerful, and ready for wherever the day takes you.

Fair warning… my feed is about to be flooded with dresses, and this one is kicking things off in the prettiest way.

This dress is a beauty! (And it’s 36% off right now!) The sweetheart neckline is so pretty, the smocked back makes it comfortable and easy to wear, and the tiered skirt has the most beautiful movement. It works just as well with heels as it does with simple sandals… and yes, it has pockets.

These white pants are everything I want in a summer staple: polished, flattering, and incredibly comfortable. The 4-way stretch fabric and built-in smoothing panel give you that confident, pulled-together feel, while the tailored details like the zipper, button closure, and sleek pockets elevate the look. They strike that perfect balance of easy and elevated, so you always feel put together without even trying.

The kind of shoes that make you rethink your entire outfit (in the best way).

And just like that… these shoes became the plan. 😏
These @donaldpliner Gizelle wedges walked in and said, “We’re the plan today,” and honestly… I agreed! 😂They’re cute, comfortable, and that little platform gives just the right lift without any wobble (we love that for us). Daytime, dinner, running around… they’re doing it all.

So yes, I built the outfit around them… starting with these high-waisted ankle pants that hold everything in right where you want it (bless🙌🏻), and adding this jacket that looks like a splurge but is actually such a good affordable find.
🤎
Moral of the story: when the shoes are this good, you don’t overthink it… you just say yes!

One simple piece, big impact!

This on-trend open stitch cardigan (5 color options) is such an easy way to bring a little life back to your basics. The classic crewneck and button front give it just enough structure, while the lightweight knit keeps it feeling easy for this in-between season. And I love where it hits… right above the hip, so it pairs perfectly with these cuffed jeans.

And these @risen_jeans are such a great everyday pair. Comfortable enough to wear all day, but still cute for whatever you have going on.
