Happy Monday! Teacher friends, I think I may have found my new favorite cute and comfy shoes for teaching. I will do a separate post, but these felt great and are super cute. I also ordered them in black. Best part is they are under $35! My classic preppy workwear office outfit is mostly from Amazon. My wide leg trousers are petite friendly and literally feel like pajamas! I’m wearing a small short in them.

All the sports are done and the Mr and I are having a delayed anniversary staycation with pool time then filets for dinner. Feeling a bit boho in this lace crocheted kimono and floral bikini combo. I’ve had this scalloped CupSHE bikini for a few years and I love it. So comfy, flattering and I love that the straps can be tied and adjusted. The top is supportive, I’m 34D and wearing a medium.

I’m guilty of being an outfit repeater, and I’m okay with that. I used to pride myself on never repeating an outfit, now I’m all about rewearing my favorites. My oversized jean jacket, wide leg jeans and sneakers have become a winning combo for me.
