    Weekday Wardrobe #9

    January 24, 2022 /

    How fun is this dress! This is a Target find that I purchased in late fall. I love the beautiful burnt orange color and the polka dots make it so much fun to wear! This isn’t a typical outfit you’ll find me in this time of year but I love this dress and I felt compelled to style it! Also, who doesn’t love a dress with pockets?! Dress: Target Booties: Torrid Headband: Forever 21 Necklace: Cookie Lee…I think, it’s super old

    I LOVE sweater weather. It’s likely not a surprise to you now that my uniform in the Fall, Winter, and early Spring is a sweater and jeans and when I saw this sweater at Target in this warm color I had to have it! It keeps me warm and looking cute on these cold dark days. In order to mix things up I added this button-up I purchased from Torrid in late Summer and it adds that little something extra! Button Up: Torrid (Similar) Sweater: Target Jeans: Torrid Booties: Torrid

    I love the movie Beetlejuice and when I saw this cute shirt on Etsy, I immediately put it in my cart! One of my favorite things to do is to elevate a simple tee with a piece that dresses it up a bit. This is my favorite pencil skirt that I’ve had for a year or so now and it elevated this outfit perfectly! Tee: Etsy (Here) Skirt: Torrid (Here) Shoes: Steve Madded (bought at Ross) Jacket: Target (Old) Hat: Forever 21 (Similar Here)

Sometimes self-care feels huge and complicated… bu Sometimes self-care feels huge and complicated… but honestly, the little moments are the ones that make the biggest difference. ✨💛

I put together 7 simple self-care ideas you can do in under 10 minutes — things I use on busy days when I still want to show up for myself. Think quick resets, tiny pockets of calm, and small habits that help you feel human again.
It’s your reminder that caring for yourself doesn’t have to take all day — just a few intentional minutes. 🌿

Yesterday, my husband took me out to a spot that m Yesterday, my husband took me out to a spot that my dad used to take him to forage for chantrelle mushrooms. It was a beautiful Fall day and we were able to get a glut of mushrooms! It was so peaceful out there and I could tell why my dad liked to go out there.

I loved getting out into the woods and spending time with Jake. It helped calm some of the anxiety I've been feeling.

**Warning** My dad taught Jake how to find the chantrelle mushrooms but also always taught me what to look for when foraging for them. Forage at your own risk. Its always best to go out with someone who knows what they're doing and knows what to look for. Only forage what you are 100% sure of!***
