Summer Date Ready

Midi Dress // Denim Jacket (size up for an oversized fit) // Sneakers // Crossbody Bag

This is the first year that my husband and I both have the summer off, and we are enjoying every minute of it. Dates are made that much better as we can leave on a whim and go from running errands to a patio dinner on the lake. I know it won’t always be like this, so I am savoring every minute of this special summer.

Because date nights (and day dates!!) have been happening frequently and on a whim, I have been looking for comfy cute dresses that are adaptable. This time of year, I also look for pieces that can transition into the next season and have been finding ALL the right options at Walmart!

The past few seasons, I have been perusing the Walmart site and finding the cutest options to update my wardrobe, whether it be for date night or the classroom. I love that I can find clothing I feel good in, is flattering, and doesn’t break the bank! Walmart’s newest campaign, We Dress America, aligns with those same sentiments, offering clothing this is on trend, unique, inclusive and affordable.

This midi dress came home with me the moment I saw it. This dress isn’t just comfy, it’s also super flattering and makes me feel like a million bucks with a very budget friendly price tag! This versatile piece can be dressed up or down, and has quickly become one of my go to’s! I love that I can pair it with sneakers and a denim jacket and am ready for whatever our day may hold! This dress can also be worn from season to season. Top it off with a sweater and some booties and you are ready for fall!

Summer Midi Dress

Nell + Rose ‘Florence’ Dress // Sandals // Crossbody Straw Bag // Sunnies, similar here

Confession…I have worn this dress 3 times in the last week! It is the ultimate summer midi dress and I can’t get enough of it! Coming from one of my favorite boutiques, Nell + Rose, this dress is meant for summer! From the breezy linen fabric to the neutral palette, it’s the perfect dress for all of your warm weather needs! I have worn this cutie to work (paired with a denim jacket), to church and out and about this past weekend. I love how versatile it is! Have a laid-back summer wedding coming up? Pair this cutie with some heeled sandals or wedges to dress it up. If you buy one thing this summer, let it be this dress…I am telling you, you won’t regret it!

Must Have Spring and Summer Dress

Dress // Denim Jacket, more denim jacket options here // Karen Walker Sunnies // Similar Bag, more options here // Espadrilles //

Happy Tuesday friends! 22 days until summer break, but who is counting…? I’m not going to lie, this year has been a busy one! The past few months I have put the blog on the back burner just focus on school. My kiddos have been wearing me out, and I come home exhausted each day. I haven’t been the best at balancing teaching and blogging this year, and need the summer to get organized and figure out a better system for getting things done! Any tips or tricks? Share them with me below!

Speaking of teaching, this outfit has been one of my go-to’s lately for the classroom and the weekend! This dress is AWESOME! So comfy and easy to wear, it transitions perfectly from a day at work to a dinner date with the hubby. I actually ended up ordering it in two colors because I knew I would get a ton of wear out of it! At only $55 it’s the PERFECT spring and summer shift dress! It comes in 8 color options and surprise, surprise, I am already eyeing a third!

One more thing I need to rave about is this denim jacket. I’ve been looking for a great oversized option for some time and am so glad I picked up this one! It is quite oversized, but I am really loving the fit! It looks great over dresses or paired with white denim and a tank and is a closet staple! A bit pricey, but oh so worth it as it’s a classic that you can wear again and again!

Ruffled Mini

 Ruffled Mini c/o // Earrings // Clutch // Sandals

 How sweet is this little ruffled mini?!? This flirty number has been one of my recent favorites and I’ve had so much fun dressing it up and down! Swap out your sandals for some heels and this dress can go from a summer outing to wedding guest attire. 


I’ve also been loving these tassel earrings. They add the perfect punch to any outfit and are lightweight enough that they don’t weigh down your ears! I’ve been wearing them a ton lately and find that they add the perfect pop to my favorite basic tee and jeans combo. If you have a beach vacation coming up this year, take these cuties along!
