Kept date night casual this week with my favorite new dress from Marine Layer. I cannot get enough of this dress - it’s so soft and so comfy, but still so feminine.

I paired it with my denim jacket (linked similar options), one of my favorite Amazon bags, and a pair of sandals.

Dress runs true to size and you will not regret adding it to your closet!

This is such a great little Amazon summer dress! It’s lined, feels well made, and has packets. It’s also available in other colors, but I’m loving this green.

It does run big. I’m wearing my usual size (small) and it’s too big. I would size down to XS if they had it, but unfortunately they do not. If you like loose, then stick with your normal size.

#LTKOver40

I wasn’t expecting to feel like Jessica Rabbit when I put this dress on, but that’s exactly what happened!

I did size up to a medium in this one for a little looser fit, but I think the small may have snatched me in even more. So if you want the full snatch, go with your normal size…if you want a more comfy feel, size up.

I wore this dress to dinner last night, and absolutely loved it! It’s seriously so soft and comfy. Perfect for day to night. Style casually with sandals like I did, or throw on a wedge to dress it up a bit.

I’m wearing a small and would say it’s true to size.

Dress is paired with a new pair of Sam Edelman sandals (linked, true to size) and one of my favorite Amazon bags.

It’s SINGO Tuesday at the country club again!

It’s chilly and rainy today, so I went with my trust old boots + a little denim dress from Amazon, along with a vintage Neiman Marcus jacket.

If you’re looking for affordable, modest swimsuits, I’ve got you!

I’m wearing a small in all 3 and am happy to report the torso length works for me!

The blue one has ties to keep the skirt from floating up in the water!

The kind of top that a 44yo mom can throw on and still look put together.

I’ve been in Dearborn, MI this week for a Ford dealer conference and today we visited Greenfield Village - it’s really like stepping back in time!

My Hill House dresses are always some of my favorites for activities like this! I’m wearing a small.

Cute summer finds that won’t break the bank!

The denim dress is going to get a lot of wear this summer, it’s so comfy!

I would say all are true to size, but size up on the striped dress if you want a looser fit.

I’ve been waiting a couple of weeks to get the chance to wear my new Hill House dress and it was worth the wait!

Wearing a small, and I would say it fits like their Ellie’s.

Wednesday night dinner with the family. I wore one of my favorite Amazon skirts (wearing a small) and paired it with my RL button up shirt and boots.

Taking this Amazon dress from basic to elevated with simple swaps.

This dress is so cute - it’s 100% cotton (such a rare find these days it seems), has pockets, and will be great for the Fourth of July! 🇺🇸

I’m wearing a small and would say it’s true to size.

It’s time again for SINGO Tuesday at at the country club! Tonight’s categories are 80s rock and modern rock. We’re having a taco and marg bar for Cinco (Singo) de Mayo.

I went with my Rolling Stones tee I thrifted, my favorite sailor jeans that have a bit of a 70s flair, my relaxed fit blazer, and my Louis.

Head to toe in Amazon today!
Wearing one of my favorite Amazon sets (size small) and carrying one of my favorite Amazon bags!

POV: found the pants for every summer trip. Styled three ways - travel day, beach/pool, and lunch/sightseeing. They’re lightweight, so comfy, and super affordable.

I’m wearing a small in the pants and a small in the Marine Layer top. The pants do fit cropped at 5’8."

#LTKTravel

I loved the blue pants so much, I bought them in white too, and got the matching shirt. Husband said I looked like I was going to a party in the Hamptons, which I took as a compliment.

Wearing an XS in both

Anyone else hit mid-40’s and suddenly need readers?? I tried to fight it but now I’m accepting my fate and even found a cute readers chain so I don’t lose them. 😆 peak granny status!

Linking the glasses (such a cute, affordable 3 pack!) and dress (wearing a small). 🩷

#LTKOver40

Loving these pants so much! It’s so hard to find pants I can wear heels with and these are great! (Wearing an XS)

#LTKTall

I’ve been meaning to share these! Are these not the CUTEST pj’s?! I’ve been wearing them a ton this month because they’re comfy and adorable. I’m wearing a small and would say they’re true to size.

The polished lazy guide to date night - wear a set! Add a layer, grab a cute bag, and you’re ready to head out the door with minimal effort while still looking polished

Top and pants - wearing a small. The Viscata wedges are amazing and run true to size. I’d say if you’re between sizes, go up. Bag is Rough & Tumble and not able to be linked, unfortunately

I just got the cutest outfit from Marine Layer! The pants and top are both soooo soft. They aren’t sold as a set, so if you aren’t a fan of crop tops, you can pick a different shirt for them. I’m wearing a small in both. I’m 5’8” and am able to wear a wedge heel with the pants but they also work with a sandal (they drag the ground a tiny bit).

Rating the books I read in April with facial expressions…I can’t believe it’s the end of April! Only 5 books this month!

If you want a little more info on the books, keep reading. Or just judge by my face!

⭐️ The Golden Hour by Beatriz Williams - historical fiction set in Nassau when the Duke of Windsor was governor. A decent read overall, but a little slow in parts.

⭐️ The Night We Met by Abby Jimenez - I’m a huge Abby fan. While I liked it, it wasn’t my favorite of hers.

⭐️ If He Had Been With Me by Laura Nowlin - I borrowed this one from my 18yo and was pleasantly surprised by this high school love story. There’s a sequel also.

⭐️ The Covenant of Water by Abraham Verghese - this one follows a family in India. It was really good in parts, and brutally boring in parts.

⭐️ Bourbon & Proof by Victoria Wilder - the final in a 3 book series and my favorite of the three. If you like romance (open door), but need a good storyline to go along with it - you should read her bourbon boys series. Seriously. Great plots with just enough romance.

If you’re looking for affordable white pants for spring and summer, I’ve got you!

These are so easy to style and are comfy - stretchy waistband in the back and a drawstring. Fair warning - they fit cropped on me at 5’8” but I like the cropped fit.

I’m wearing a size small and would say they fit true to size

It’s SINGO Tuesday at the country club!
Tonight, I’m going with my blue linen pants from Boston Proper (wearing an XS), my Underoutfit cami (small), a button up white shirt, and my favorite wedges from Viscata.

Follow along for next week’s outfit!

#LTKOver40

This Amazon top is a little sweet and a little spicy depending on how you style it! I’m wearing a brown sports bra under it, so it mostly blends in with just a little tummy showing.

Wearing a small in the top, XS is the linen Boston Proper pants, and a small in the bra

I promise to not wear these jeans tomorrow.
Maybe.

But look at this cute new bag I got! It’s on clearance right now, so grab it if you love it!

I didn’t expect to love this bathing suit. BUT I DO! The stitching detail really makes the suit. It adds a cute femine flair while still being modest. It has non-removable pads, which I love because they won’t be moving around.

I typically wear a small or medium…went with the medium (6-8) for length and length is great. I could maybe get away with a small too, but medium is just fine!

One of my most worn Amazon purchases is this top! I’ve worn it over and over and if anything happens to it, I would buy it again immediately.

This bag has been great too! I haven’t had it for as long as the top, but it’s already getting a lot of use. It’s a great alternative for The Row bag that looks very similar.

Manifesting a beach house one linen dress at a time!

This is a Martha Stewart dress I found at Marshall’s last year and I’ve loved it ever since. Linen, soft, a little sheer - so I have my biker shorts underneath.

For date night, I added a belt to give it a little more structure and swapped sandals for wedges. During the day though? Unbelted with my favorite Amazon sandals is how you’ll find me.

The bag is from @tello and rose - she used to sell them but I don’t think she does anymore.

Linking some similar options for you!

It’s SINGO Tuesday - our weekly music bingo night at the country club that we never miss. 🎵

Wanted to wear this linen nap dress but it’s sheer, so @underoutfit biker shorts to the rescue! Threw on my denim jacket and boots because we’re back down into the 60s tonight.

Every Tuesday, I’ll be sharing what I’m wearing to SINGO - I’d love for you to follow along! 💛

The dress is an older Hill House, but I’ll tag some recent nap dress options!

Have you been to buy flowers yet this spring?! 😬

We spent our Sunday outside planting and cleaning up the garden areas - and wow was I amazed at how much the trip to Home Depot was! That reclaimed window greenhouse I’ve been dreaming of may be an easier sell now!

Not every outfit needs to be a moment, some are just easy and comfortable and that’s okay!

Every now and then, I think it’s fun to challenge myself to put together an outfit that’s not my usual look. A couple of weeks ago, we had a chilly night, and I did just that. This is a more masculine style than I usually go for, but I liked it!
