It’s Thursday and time to share what I have been wearing along with Kellyann and Jill.
Let’s go back to last Wednesday for my first ‘fit. I wanted to dress up a bit for senior walk. My goal since Spring Break had been to wear all my dresses and as many spring and summer pieces as I could without repeating. This also would tell me what really DID need to go from my closet after my initial clean out. I think I did pretty well with my outfits and maybe I will go back and do one big post, but maybe I won’t because that sounds like a lot of work.
I love, love, love this Walmart Scoop dress and I am kicking myself for not getting it in the plain black, too. I think that would have come in really handy. I like this shape for me. Anyway, I love the colors and pattern and it has pockets! Don’t worry – I did bring a flat sandal to change into after the walk.
The next day I wore my ON strawberry t-shirt with my J.Crew Factory green skirt from the clearance rack last year. I’m not big on clearance racks because I think you can end up just buying because it’s cheap, but the J.Crew Factory rack is worth checking out when I am in that shopping center.
And Friday was kind of cool and rainy so I wore my Spanish “Vive Feliz” (“Live Happy”) shirt with an old Target cardi and my black gauzy pants for the last day of school.
Can you believe Old Navy had that t-shirt for $5 last year? Gracias, Navy Viejo! Jajaja – that’s Spanish laughter.
And, of course some of my department members and I did what has become our traditional first and last day photos. The two men that are my classroom neighbors even did it – I told them they could send their photo to their wives. I’m always trying to help, you know?
Saturday I got to try out my new cover up. You all NEED this! The fabric is magic! I love it so much. I believe Jennifer found it first? She got it in two colors. You know how I did my cover up post but then really didn’t like any of them anymore or at least for this season? They all felt dated. I am so happy now! I went with white and it really isn’t see through if that matters to you. I have on my new Walmart navy suit underneath.
And, on Tuesday after Memorial Day for my last work day, I wore this new set! I finally, finally, finally (I think I wanted it last year) pulled the trigger on the Aerie Pool to Party gauzy shorts and button up. Y’all know how I have been into all things gauzy! Pretty soon people will call me “Gauzy Amy”! I sized down in the shorts and I sized up in the shirt. To be honest, they didn’t have the size I probably would have picked in the shirt so I hope it doesn’t look too big. They show it worn very oversized on the model. Look at my little photo bomber.
The fabric on this set feels dreamy! I have been wanting a set of some sort and I decided this was my gift to me. I really have not shopped much since March and I’m pretty proud of myself for that.
I know I’m not Aerie’s demographic, but I have said it before and I will say it again. All of my Aerie pieces – maybe 5 items? – are such good quality and wash really well. I reach for my Sunday shorts and my Shell Yeah t-shirt all the time. I also love my Aerie swim suits. So, yes, I guess you could say I’m a fan.
Do you have any thoughts on this week’s collection of ‘fits? What have you been reaching for?

I just ordered the cover-up in black. I can’t believe how big your baby is getting.

Yay! I wanted black, too, but thought it would be hot. Now I know the fabric is so lightweight that it wouldn’t be. I know, right?

I LOVE my Aerie gauze pants (I got the pair with the cargo pockets on the sides in black) and my skirt (in white– though I haven’t worn the skirt yet other than to try it on). I can see why you like the material so much it’s wonderful!

Their fabric is just so good! Cute! I will have to look for those things on the website. I’m lucky I have a store here, but I still would probably order online and go pick it up or know I can return it in store.

The green skirt is so cute and I completely agree, JCF clearance is always worth a look. Your guazy set is perfect – great color! Aerie has never let me down, good quality and they have good sales. So happy you found a cover up you love too!!

I bought two of the pool to party shirts last summer, and I use them for my summer pajamas. 😀I bought them oversized. Love the fabric! It’s weird, though, because the gauze in one color is thinner than in the other color. Strange, but I love them both. I think you will get a lot of wear out of your set. Summer is here!!

It’s a Free Assembly and I really love it. Thank you – it’s been a fun tradition. I can see how much I have aged that school year. Ha – you are the one with the money so she can’t care too much! Thank you! I think I will wear it around the house, too. I really love homeless around the house and need to work on my lounge clothes.

I love all of your outfits for this post, and I am so glad you bought that magical cover-up! I felt the same way when I first put it on, and then I also turned around and gave away one as one of the mother’s day gifts we gave this year. I love seeing all the bright colors for summer! It’s my favorite right now.

I like your fashion day, and I wish we had an Aerie around here. I am really into Walmart clothes right now. I like your budget posts too, they are motivating!

Thank you so much, Julie! Do you have an Am. Eagle? I think you could order online and return there. I always order online from Aerie because the selection is better and the sizing is, too. I love Walmart but their website is so bad! I don’t like to go in the store. I don’t have one that close and I just hate going in that store – Tom says I’m a snow but that’s not it. It’s just overwhelming to me.
Thank you!

They are really killing it this year – their tees look like J.Crew or Antho honestly. I looked on Pinterest to style them. Yay! Let us know how the gauze from ON is. Now you are Guazy Marsha!
Thank you so much!
