OMG! It’s August! How is this even possible? I am linking up with Kellyann and Jill to talk some fashion or lack thereof this week!

What’s important to you when getting dressed? Have you ever asked that question?

I want to easily find outfits in my closet.

I want to be comfortable.

I want to feel like myself.

I want to look somewhat stylish.

I don’t want too much to choose from.

This has been on my mind as I prepare to get dressed for school again.

Here is what I wore to the mall recently:

I was so uncomfortable in my shoes (as cute as they are) that I decided to sell them on Facebook Marketplace. They have slipped in the heel, may have been the wrong size, and just not been comfortable and I have not worn them as much as I had thought I would.

I am wearing my Old Navy linen shorts and my Target extended shoulder tee.

Here I am wearing my new TJ Maxx chambray knit top with cut offs and my most worn shoe of the summer – the silver rubber Target Birks.

Here I am wearing the Walmart dress with old MIA clog lookalikes from Amazon. This was the book signing party where Tom’s car got broken into (but he didn’t lock it so his car just got opened and ravaged?)

I wore my cut offs again with my blue and white striped button up and my Paris slides for the opening ceremonies.

I guess I was on a cut off kick! I wore my cut offs with my other new TJ Maxx blouse.

I got new Chico’s white pants at my consignment store and tried them on with the blouse, too.

I also picked up a pair of Matilda Jane jeans there. I don’t have a photo yet, but I did have to cut and fray them because they were too long.

And, for school professional development day one I wore my Chico’s white skirt, Old Navy graphic tee, J.Crew sweater and my Target slides.

And, the second day I wore my newest Old Navy linen shorts in green and white stripe and the gauzy button up. I have on my Madewell leather sneaks that are pre-pandemic purchased in 2019, I think.

I had to be comfy because we ended the day with Top Golf!

We had a buffet, too. There was no alcohol because it was part of the PD.

What have you been wearing lately?

  1. I don’t think I’ve worn my cut offs once yet this summer! I haven’t been reaching for shorts all that often….

  3. Your requirements for clothes are just like mine!

    Too bad the sneakers didn’t work out but I get it. I sold my Gazelles (they were pink and white) a few years ago. They just didn’t work for me but I sure like them on everyone else!

    Your PD ending at Top Golf is my kinda PD! Ha!!! The Chico’s white pants were a great find, I love all of your comfy, casual but cute looks Amy!

    1. Yes! I still re-couped most of my money. Sold them for $100! Sometimes you have to take chances!
      It was fun!
      Thanks – I had been wanting new white pants all summer!

  7. What a great week of outfits! I love those orange floral and green/white striped shorts! Your black and white dress looks great! Those blue tops you got were a good choice!

    When it comes to getting dressed, I want to be comfortable, often wear bright colors and patterns, and wear more of what is in my closet. I’m not ready to think about school clothes yet, but you made good choices this week!

  8. Cute outfits! I l love the new TJ Maxx blouse and your cutoffs. I have a purple and white small floral from BR that is similar. I tried on similar Adidas sneakers, w/o platform, and found them really uncomfortable. I sent back Hokas and On sneakers as well. I’m in between 9.5 and 10, so too small or too big? Which is worse? 😃My first day of PD is Monday, and I’m sad. Sad that summer went so fast but also sad that I accomplished so little. Today I spent 2.5 hours on the phone with retirement specialists. They will definitely need a stiff drink tonight, lol. I definitely understand retirement much better now., and they kindly answered my many questions. I have not purged or organized my closet or drawers. My master closet is scary, but we have very little storage. I don’t do summer well, I think. I’ve gotten into the habit of reading until 2AM or later! I get more accomplished during the school year. Have a good weekend!

  9. I like your list of what you want when you get dressed! I think your black and white dress was featured on Sheaffer Made Me Do It the other day…or, maybe she had a top. But, I thought of you when I saw it. I think those green striped shorts just look fabulous on you. That’s too bad about your pink/green sneakers. I have some Stan Smith Adidas and just can’t get into wearing them enough to grunge them up a bit. They’re just too sparkly white for me!

    1. Thank you! I was pretty proud that I found it first! Ha! Thank you – really like these linen shorts this season. I ordered gold Stan Smith so we will see. I want something classic, cool, but also that feels like me!
