Feel Good Friday
TGIF! This is an accurate representation of how Monday morning felt this week lol am I right?! Thankful that it’s Friday & that the weekend is almost here!
what I've been up to...
Last Friday I went to my sister’s track meet. As I was sitting in the stands, I noticed that the sky looked so pretty & how thankful I am for the somewhat “normal” moments that we’re able to have this spring.
Saturday was spent on a charter bus in Oklahoma City with eighth graders! It was so much fun, but I was dog gone tired on Sunday. I spent the day sleeping, reading & prepping for the week. I snapped this picture of the sunrise on our way to OKC! We took lots of other pictures together & of our activities, but I think I’ll keep those to myself for the privacy of my kiddos. :)
This is what finally finishing grad school after two long years looks like:
outfits of the week…
For the past few months or so I’ve started *trying* to consistently share my OOTD (outfit of the day) just for fun! I’m typically able to link most pieces, but I also just share it to hopefully give a bit of inspiration & show you that you can recreate my outfits by just using pieces from your own closet.
Monday...
Felt pretty springy on Monday in my espadrilles & thin colorful striped Walmart sweater!
Some of the glasses I ordered recently came in over the weekend & I’m pretty much obsessed with all of them! This is a fun thin oval framed pair that is $32. They’re kinda spunky & trendy & I love them, plus they make my middle schoolers think I’m cool!
Tuesday...
Loving the pops of spring colors in this Pink Lily popcorn sweater!
Another day, another pair of new glasses! This pair was actually the most-loved pair when I did a poll on Instagram & I can see why!
Wednesday...
Let’s taco ‘bout how fun working in a middle school is! Honestly one of my favorite parts of my job is getting to be silly & dress up for fun holidays! I’m thankful that my kiddos keep me young & are always down for a good laugh, even if they’re laughing at my tiny sombrero headband lol this sweater from Walmart has been such a great basic piece since I got it in the fall + it’s less than $12!!
Thanks to PartyCity for supplying my festive accessories! I did find links for both of them on Amazon in case you’re in need ;) I hope you all had a wonderful Wednesday & a happy cinco de Mayo!! 🍻
Thursday...
On Thursday I wore my pistol pete OSU t-shirt I got on my spring break trip with my sisters! Good memories :)
In case you missed it, this week I shared the top thirteen most loved items from April! It’s so fun to see what things y’all love! You can check out that post by clicking here.
friday favs...
Now it’s time for some Friday favs from Target & Walmart!
I’ve shared about this before, but I typically find dressing cute in the summer to be a big challenge. I’m incredibly picky about my denim shorts, so I often times am searching for comfier options. These are from Target & they are BOMB! I had heard that they were fairly oversized, so I sized down to a small & I still have quite a bit of room. They’re very light & airy, so they’re perfect for spring & summer. They have nice deep pockets & a cute rushed waistline. They come in a few other color options & are $17.
Sharing an up close picture of them here.
I’ve been searching for the perfect pair of denim shorts & while on my search, I found these comfy ones in a light acid wash. They are AMAZING! They’re incredibly flattering & so comfortable! I’m wearing a medium & would say that they fit true to size. They have a functional drawstring as well. I paired them with this “do good” muscle tank from Target. I’m wearing a medium, but could’ve done a small. It’s incredibly soft & I love that the letters are completely filled in. It’s just such a fun & different look!
Sharing an up close picture of the tank here.
& drumroll please… I found my 2021 summer denim shorts, y’all!!! Surprisingly, they’re from Walmart. Like I said before, I’m incredibly picky about how my denim shorts feel & look. I sized up to a 6 in these because at the end of the day, the size shouldn’t matter — how I feel in them is what matters!! I love the subtle fringe at the hemline & how stretchy & comfy they are! 10/10 would recommend. They are $24. This choral crewneck is from Target & has matching shorts, but I thought it was cute on its own! I love the raw hemline on the bottom & that it’s split on the sides. It’s $20!
This is how they look from the side. You can see that the distressing goes all the way around & that I have some extra room to move in my thigh area! * insert praise hands here *
No butt hanging out here!!!

My Mom & I were talking at the beginning of this week about how we have something going on every single weekend for five weeks in a row. Oof! My sisters & I are having a little pedicure date on Saturday to celebrate Bethany & I graduating & then with Mother’s Day this weekend, we’ll be celebrating my Mom & doing some of the things she likes to do, like yard work & cleaning the house lol.
