It’s time to link up with Kellyann and Jill for Fashion Files and it is my last day of school with students! I had them do a reflection on Tuesday of their school year and I did one, as well. I think I will share it here in a few days.

Last Thursday it was a bit chilly and I wore this to school. This is an old Umgee dress? but I don’t feel comfortable wearing it to school or maybe anywhere without these J.Jill capri leggings that I have in black, navy, grey, and white. I have had them for at least 8 years. The quality and the feel of the fabric is amazing. They somehow keep you warm but cool.

Friday I wore my third Walmart dress (and favorite). It is supposed to fit oversized-ish, but I think once I wash it and dry it it will fit better. I loved it and I was super comfortable.

I wore this Walmart dress Saturday night to Elizabeth’s welcome reception. Tom was primping in the mirror behind me so I cropped him out.

I did my own pedicure in an Essie white that I had and I did my own manicure with my Kur polish.

Sunday was wedding day and I threw this Walmart dress on to wear down to the hotel to snack and get ready. I have on my eye patches!

My bridesmaid dress. Each girl had a different floor length sleeveless black maxi. We were given examples but could pick our own and we were told to wear nude heels. I found mine on Walmart.com from a third party seller – I think. I googled “black formal max” and it popped up. Get this – it was only $17.66! Here it is if you want to see. It’s not the best quality, but it was super comfortable and I could wear a regular bra. And, another thing, I did not have to hem it! I wore my nude braided heels I got from a consignment store new with tags. Elizabeth gave us a bracelet, earrings, and necklace to wear. I also did my own hair and makeup.

Ok, so I gasped when I saw the upcoming Old Navy dress. The fabric is super soft, too. Well, my phone showed me that the dress has a top version!

I actually wore the blue on Monday with these Target sandals:

Gasp – pink and orange:

I ordered a couple of sizes but I am keeping all 3 colors you guys! This will also work into the fall and I just love the pattern. My friend Heather agreed with me that it very much looks like a boutique blouse that would cost upwards of $60. Guess what – by ordering online and using whatever code they had going on my tops were $11.97 each!

I wore the dress to start this week on Tuesday. It has pockets!

If you are interested in anything, I would say the Walmart stuff runs one to two sizes big so size down one to two sizes. The Old Navy tops and dress run true to size, I think. You might need to size down depending on your chest region. I’ve been ordering two sizes to try on both at home and to get the free shipping and then I just return the one that doesn’t fit in store. Old Navy makes returns very easy.

So, do you have a favorite?

What have you been wearing lately?

  1. Gaah! Your dresses! The tops! I love it all! You are so summery and absolutely lovely! I will totally visit Old Navy! (In three weeks!) Yes on white toenails, I did mine this weekend. Eye patches? Of course!
    It’s kind of summery over here so I’m keeping all my summer dresses on rotation!

    1. That’s mine, too! Thank you! I washed it, dried it in the dryer, and I am going to steam it and I hope it shrank a bit. It is supposed to fit oversized.

  4. Oooh, I am headed to Old Navy right now to place an order!
    Your black maxi dress was perfect and I love that Elizabeth let the bridesmaids choose their own dress – so smart and thoughtful!
    xo,

  5. I love all your summery outfits, but that Old Navy dress is my favorite! I especially love it when a dress has pockets. That’s my favorite and I have to force myself to keep my hands out of them the whole time I’m out wearing it. Happy last day with students to you, my friend!

    1. Thank you! I think it’s mine, too. The pockets make me look a bit more hippy, but I think it is a comfort to have somewhere to put your hands! Emotional Support Pockets!

  8. So many cute dresses and tops! I’ve been wearing a little bit of everything lately as we are still enjoying some 40 degree swings in temperatures. Today it’s supposed to be near 90 so I broke out my shorts and a very lightweight blouse.

    1. I didn’t need them either but I have already worn the dress twice and one of the tops so that for me usually means I did well. Thank you so much!
