School starts next week, so the teacher fits are coming… but this one won’t be making it into the classroom rotation. 😂 The dress is an old American Eagle favorite, the shoes are damn near ancient & the sun clearly wanted a starring role in this video. ☀️ It’s a little too low cut for school, but for a Friday night after spending the week in a hot, steamy classroom? Yep. I’ll be breaking this one back out. Can’t link the exact dress or shoes, but I found some similar options on LTK. teacher off duty • casual Friday night outfit • summer dress • date night outfit • over 50 style TeacherStyle TeacherOffDuty Over50Style CasualStyle LTKStyle LTKootd LTKOver40 LTKSeasonal

Channeling my inner dude today. 😂

This first week of school kicked my ass & there was really no other choice but to be comfortable.

Baggy shorts. Oversized tee. Sneakers. Trucker hat. Done. 🙌🏼

At this point, if it’s comfortable & I can teach in it, we’re calling it an outfit. 😂

& the saying on this T-shirt? Just icing on the cake. 💕 I mean… LOOK at the back.

One week down. I made it. 🙌🏼

Day 2. 🍎📚

The fit is together.
I am not. 😂

Adjusting back to early mornings, bells, teaching all day & having an actual schedule again is kicking my ass.

Beyond exhausted. 😴

But hey… at least I got dressed. ✌️

First official day with students. 📚✏️ And dare I say… it went pretty damn well. 😂

Last night I decided to do future-me a favor & get my shit together BEFORE morning.

🥗 Lunch packed
🍳 Breakfast ready
👖 Outfit picked out & ironed
⏰ Alarm set extra early

Which meant I actually had time this morning for my stretching, a hot cup of tea ☕️, a nice warm shower & enough time to get ready without running around the house like a lunatic.

I even got to school early enough to ease into the day instead of arriving already feeling behind. 🙌🏼

Today was mostly syllabus, parent letter, student handbook, cell phone policy 📵 & all the usual first-day get-to-know-you kind of shit.

And the kids? Wonderful. 😇

No red flags yet. 🚩😂

Of course, everyone is still on their best first-day behavior. Give it a little time. Personalities will emerge, comfort levels will rise & I’m sure those red flags will eventually start waving. 😂🚩

But for Day 1? I’ll take the win.

And apparently I’m also breaking very serious fashion laws today because I wore WHITE AFTER LABOR DAY. 😱

Gap white linen pants + Target summer-weight sweater + Amazon top + shiny gold sandals + dangling earrings because I will forever believe TJ Maxx is one of the best places to find fun earrings.

Who says you can’t wear white after Labor Day anyway?

People from whatever year that rule was invented, I guess. 😂🤷🏼‍♀️

Outfit details will be linked on LTK. 🛍️

Here’s to a good start, a little preparation & seeing how long it takes those red flags to appear. 🚩😂

Dressed for action today. 💻⚡️

Computer action. Obviously. 😂

Nothing prepares you for the first day with students quite like hours of mandatory Vector training covering information you’ve already heard approximately one million times.

Why are we doing this again? 🙃

After 19 years, my trigger finger is highly trained.

Click.
Next.

At this point, I could probably advance those slides competitively. 🥇😂

But tomorrow the kids are officially back & the REAL fun begins.

Pastel Tie-Dye Kind of Day 🩵🩷🤍

Well… the @threebirdnest goodies have officially made it out of the box. 😂

This oversized tie-dye tee was gifted to me by @threebirdnest & I already knew when I pulled it out that this one was going to get a LOT of wear.

Soft, oversized, ridiculously comfortable & very much my vibe. 🩵🩷🤍

For sizing reference, I’m wearing a Small — so you can see this baby definitely has that relaxed, oversized fit.

The problem?

It has matching shorts. 😑

And now that I know they exist, I can’t stop thinking about them. 😂

The tee is almost sold out & right now only Large is still available. 😭 I tagged it in my LTK anyway for anyone who can snag the Large, along with those matching shorts I keep talking about… partially for you & partially so I can find them again when I inevitably cave & order them. 😂

And while you’re over at @threebirdnest, take a peek around. There are SO many cute boho pieces to browse & you can use my code LORAHIGGINS20 for 20% off if you find something you love. 🩷🌸

There was a time when Friday nights started with happy hour… & somehow ended with breakfast at 5:00 in the morning before stumbling home to sleep the day away, only to turn around & do it all over again. 😂 Those were some fun memories, but these days we’ve learned that nothing good happens after midnight anyway. 🍻

Things have definitely gotten a lot calmer. Kevin is still the more outgoing one, while I’ve somehow taken on the role of making sure we get home safely without too much damage. 🤣 He’s not much for getting in front of the camera, which is kind of funny because he’s a character who keeps me laughing (while occasionally driving me crazy). ❤️ And sharing his beer? Yeah… that’s definitely not one of his strengths. 🍺😂

Truth be told, we’ve been doing Friday nights like this for years now, & I wouldn’t have it any other way. Good food, a few laughs, a little people-watching & an early trip home. It’s simple, but it’s one of my favorite ways to kick off the weekend.

Some mornings are more “grab & go” than “slow & cozy.” 😅

I had an early chiropractor appointment this morning, so this is the best I’ve got. I’m definitely still in summer mode, & with school only a few weeks away, these early mornings are going to take a little practice again.

Good thing I had my little mini tote because there definitely wasn’t time for breakfast. 😂

I’m loving these fun beachy striped shorts paired with one of my favorite thrifted denim shirts. Proof that some of my favorite outfits are a mix of secondhand finds & pieces that just make me happy. 💙

Some mornings I picture myself stretching outside in total peace… ☀️🩵

Cool breeze. Warm sunshine. Blue skies. Birds singing.

Then reality shows up…

🔨 The roofers are laughing while ripping shingles off a house.
🎵 Someone has music cranked.
🌿 The neighbor fires up the weed whacker.
🚛 The garbage truck rolls by.
🪚 And somewhere in the distance… a saw joins the party.

Nothing says “relaxing morning stretch” quite like a construction soundtrack. 😂

But anyways… the shorts are cute. 💙 I love the scalloped edge.

Happy Friday, friends! ☀️

✨ One person’s pass is another person’s jackpot.

This Free People military jacket came home with me for $20. Some people might think that’s still expensive… until you realize it originally retailed for $240. 🤯

I picked up this entire outfit on the same shopping trip—the Anthropologie heels were just $8, & the men’s Goodwill jeans cost $7 before I cropped them into the perfect length.

Not bad for an outfit that looks way more expensive than it actually was. 😏

I dressed it all up just to film this reel… now I only wish I actually had somewhere to wear it. 😂

There’s something about an early summer morning… ☀️☕🤍

The patio is quiet. The birds are already awake. The sky is crystal clear, my tea is warm, & for a little while, the day can wait.

Those are the moments I look forward to most.

This beautiful striped cotton set from @theirnibs has quickly become part of that routine. It’s lightweight, incredibly comfortable, & so effortlessly pretty that I have a feeling it won’t be staying “just pajamas” for very long. 🤭✨

I’ve already started dreaming up a few different ways to style it before summer is over, so stay tuned…I think this little set is about to make a few appearances beyond my morning tea. 🌿

If you’d like to take a closer look, I’ve linked this entire look—including the sandals—in my LTK (link in bio). 🤍

Thank you, @theirnibs, for creating pieces that make slowing down feel even sweeter. ✨

Every year I tell myself I’m only going to buy one or two new flower pots.

Then Walmart goes & puts out those pots… the colorful ones that make you stop dead in the aisle & suddenly you’re rearranging your entire patio in your head. 😂

A few of the ones in this video came from Walmart this season & I’ve noticed some are already starting to go on sale. The rest? They’ve been collected over the years, one little treasure at a time.

The Husband says I have too many pots.

What’s funny is… he hasn’t mentioned that I have too many plants yet. 🌿

I’m choosing to take that as permission to keep going.

If you’ve been eyeing the colorful Walmart planters, I linked the ones I could find (or the closest matches) in my LTK. If your local store still has them in stock, they’re absolutely worth wandering down the garden aisle.

Tell me I’m not the only one whose plant collection somehow keeps multiplying. 🌸🪴

Confession time… 🙋🏼‍♀️

For the longest time, I avoided athletic shorts with the built-in underwear. I don’t know why… it just seemed weird to me.

Well…

I have officially seen the light. 😂

Why did nobody tell me these were so freaking comfortable?!

No wedgies.
No pulling your underwear out of your butt every five minutes because your ass decided it was hungry. 🤣
No awkward little side-to-side wiggle pretending you’re “stretching.”
Just comfortable, stay-put underwear that actually does its job.

I’ve been living in these shorts ever since I bought them, & now I’m convinced every single pair of bottoms should come with built-in underwear. Jeans. Pants. Skirts. All of it. 😂

…Although, now that I’m saying it out loud, built-in underwear in jeans might be a little weird. 🤔🤣

I’ve definitely developed a thing for Bermuda shorts. 😊

As I’ve gotten older, I’ve realized I reach for them over & over again. They’re comfortable, forgiving, easy to move in, & can be dressed up or down depending on where the day takes me.

I’ve linked the exact pair I’m wearing in my LTK (they’re getting low in stock), along with a few other favorites in different styles.

I know some of them cost a little more than what I used to spend on shorts. But somewhere along the way, my mindset changed. Instead of buying several inexpensive pieces that end up sitting in my closet, I’d rather invest in something I truly love, wear all season long, & know will last.

For me, it’s become less about buying more… & more about buying better.

There’s something about Saturday mornings at the farmers market that just feels like summer.

Today’s outfit ended up being one of those combinations I probably never would’ve put together a year ago… a pair of gold cotton drawstring Free People shorts with a dark carnation pink Scoop baby doll top from Walmart. Add my fruit & veggie print Havaianas flip-flops, a boutique baseball cap, GOODR sunglasses, & I was good to go. 😂

The colors aren’t necessarily something I would’ve paired together in the past, but for some reason today… they just worked.

Today’s haul was simple but good: escarole, colorful cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, blueberries, goat milk soap, an essential oil bug repellent roll-on for my walks… & yes… a lemon blueberry danish and a strawberry cream danish. Balance, friends. 😏

I almost came home with a hibiscus, but I showed a little self-control. I should probably assess the garden before bringing one home. Maybe next Saturday. 🌺

There’s something about mother-daughter days that never gets old. ❤️

No agenda. No rushing. Just a day spent wandering through antique shops, popping into little boutiques, stopping for lunch, sharing stories, laughing way too hard, & seeing where the day takes us.

The best part? We both get to do what we love while making memories together. 🤍

☀️🤎 Errands first… sunshine later.

Today was the official road test for these olive utility pants & I think they passed. 😎 I had my eye on them for a while, ordered a medium first, & they were swimming on me. Sent them back, grabbed a small, & they’re still nice & relaxed without feeling oversized.

I love that the ankles have drawstrings so you can wear them loose & baggy or cinch them into more of a balloon style like I did today. Little tip: if you wrap the drawstrings around the outside of your ankle twice before tying them, you can get an even tighter cuff. 🙌

I paired them with a brown snug crop tank from Old Navy, my brown Old Navy gladiator sandals that I scored recently, Target sunglasses, & my little Free People boho bag from last summer. 🤎🌿

The hair… well… we’re experimenting. 😂 I went in with curl cream, Olaplex gel & beach spray. I may have gotten a little enthusiastic with the texture, but it’s summer. We’re playing around. By the end of the day it’ll probably be in a half bun because wearing my hair down in July feels like walking around with a wool sweater wrapped around my neck. 🥵🤣

Some people start their day with coffee.

I start mine with a stretch.

For the last five years, stretching has become as much a part of my routine as brushing my teeth. I do it almost every single day, and if I skip it, I genuinely feel it. My body feels tighter, my mind feels a little more scattered, and something just seems…off.

What started as a way to loosen up has turned into something so much bigger.

It’s my gentle way of waking up instead of launching into the day the second the alarm goes off.

It’s my daily check-in.

How’s my body feeling after this week’s workouts?

Am I carrying stress in my shoulders?

Do my hips feel tight after sitting too long?

Do I need to slow down today?

Stretching has taught me to pay attention.

Not just physically, but mentally & emotionally too.

Some days it’s energizing. Some days it’s calming. Some days it’s simply a reminder to breathe.

It’s helped me:
✨ Improve mobility & flexibility
✨ Ease stiffness & soreness
✨ Warm up before workouts or yardwork
✨ Relax before bed
✨ Reduce stress & tension
✨ Feel more connected to my body

As a health teacher, I spend a lot of time reminding students that wellness isn’t just exercise & nutrition. It’s learning to tune in to yourself.

And honestly, these few quiet minutes each day have become a form of self-care…a chance to connect physically, mentally, & even spiritually before the world starts asking things of me.

It’s amazing how something so simple can make you feel so much more like yourself.

Do you have a daily ritual that helps you slow down & reconnect with yourself? 🩷🧘‍♀️✨🌿☀️

A few of you always ask about my yoga mat, foam roller & comfy lounge clothes, so I linked them in my LTK if you’re looking for them.

That’s a wrap on classroom outfits for the next two months. 🍎❤️

Now the question is… what am I going to wear all summer? 😂 I guess we’ll find out together.

Today’s outfit is easy, comfortable, & perfect for wrapping up the school year:
🤍 Skirt: Three Bird Nest
🤍 Tank: Old Navy
🤍 Flip-flops: Reef

I’m also trying out a few new hair products during my gray hair grow-out journey. If you’re interested in a hair tutorial or the products I’m using, I’d be happy to share them. 🤍

I may have been admiring the white tile bathroom a little too much. 🤍😂 It might be stealing the spotlight… but this outfit deserves a little attention too.

I’ve said it before, & I’ll say it again… these Old Navy crinkle barrel drawstring pants are probably one of my favorite finds of the season. They’re lightweight, comfortable, & somehow still look put together.

My decision-making capacity was pretty limited, so I couldn’t go wrong with a snug black Old Navy tank. Then I pulled in a few soft touches with my cream Yankees cap, cream crossbody, & blush pink sandals.

This is definitely a combination I’ll be repeating all summer long. ☀️🖤
