Feel Good Friday

Happy Friday! I’m finally on summer break!!!

what I've been up to...

Now that it’s officially summer, I’ll be spending some of my days at my family’s sno cone trailer!

Started our work day / first day of summer off on the right foot this year — coffee with my coworkers!

See you in a couple of months, office!

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.

Friday…

Another day, another skort outfit!

Saturday…

I thought my Callie Danielle “you can do hard things” tee was pretty fitting for high school graduation! Very proud of all of those kids & blessed to have been a part of their journey. My sister got to come grad party hoppin’ with me!

Sunday…

Casual Sunday OOTD!

Monday...

Cozy little outfit for my last Monday of school!

Tuesday...

Another cozy OOTD since it’s freezing!!!!!

& here was my outfit for our middle school awards night!

Wednesday...

Cozy OOTD for my last day of school!

Thursday...

OOTD for teacher work day / first day of summer!

in case you missed it...

These air fryer donuts are one of my family’s favorite treats on a Saturday morning!! They are so simple & SO YUMMY! You can view the recipe here.

As you may have seen, I started a new weekly post where I share my Weekly Sale Finds! I’ve been sharing them daily on my Instagram stories & I figured I could compile all of them from the week into one post so that y’all can see them, too! You can click here to read that post.

friday favs...

My liquid IV code (SIMPLYSMALLTOWNBLOG) was upped to 30% off + free shipping from the 26th-30th!!

Sharing all the things I use to do my at home shellac manicures!

Now it’s time for a Target haul!!

Super easy grad gifts! I have used a Velcro wrap towel since college & swear by them! Plus these towel scrunchies are the bomb.

For some (very annoying) reason, mosquitos love me. I always spend my summers covered in itchy bites & I hate it. I saw this spray shared on tiktok so I thought why not? It’s supposed to smell good + work like a charm. I’ll check back in mid-summer after I’ve used it for awhile.

My mom has been looking for some neutral throw pillows for her bed. We found these at Target & they are just what she was looking for! They are big enough that they don't look too small on their king sized bed. The plain khaki ones have a cute fringe detail on the edges & we love the texture that the striped one adds.

With our sno cone trailer opening, my mom & sisters & I were on the look out for some new comfy sandals. My youngest sister grabbed these & is in love! The colors are so cute for spring (& our trailer). She says they’re super comfy & fit true to size!

These are the ones my mom grabbed & she loves them!! She says they’re super super comfy. She ended up sending them back though just because she felt like they were a little too nice for working at the trailer. Plus, the light color might stain from syrups, so that was probably a smart choice.

Pretty much every summer I have to replace my rubber birks because I wear them so much that the toe almost wears through the bottom!!! These have a little bit of a shimmer on them which is different, but I don’t hate it. They fit true to size. I’m thinking of grabbing some other colors for the summer too.

I’ve said this before, but I’ll say it again… because I’m a school counselor, I spend my summers in shorts & tank tops, so of course, that means sports bras too. These ones have been my fav for years & my sister just bought a couple for herself too. They fit small (& also shrink when you wash them) so I sized up. The pads are removable which is slightly annoying but they’re a good price & have tons of color options.

This tee is $6.99 today!!! I wish I could claim this tee & act like I have a green thumb, but that’d be a total lie. I do think it’s darling & is super comfy! This is different than the other two as far as fit, so I’m wearing a medium & would say it fits just a tiny bit small. I always size up in these tees because they’re a little bit small + they shrink.

These shorts are on sale for $16.80!!! Maybe it’s the cute pink colors of this outfit, but I totally feel like a lil pack of bubblegum lol! This t-shirt is a similar fit to the others, but it’s a little bit thicker in material & isn’t quite as long or soft. I just loved the bright colors for summer! These shorts are SO comfy & fit true to size. The only thing I don’t love about them is that the built in underwear really have a tendency to ride up so I feel like I’m frequently picking my wedgie. Just gotta be real about it.

These shorts are on sale for $16.80!!! I shared this graphic tee last week, but I ordered some new shorts so I decided to share it again! I’ve seen this graphic tee SO many times & didn’t ever buy it because I didn’t think it was really “my style”. But of course, I got it & I LOVE IT!!! It is soo soft & thin & comfy that I know I’ll be wearing it all summer long! Plus all of the different bright colors means you can wear it with all kinds of different shorts or even skirts, too! I’m wearing a small & it definitely fits oversized — I’d say it fits more like a medium or even large. These shorts are SO comfy & fit true to size. The only thing I don’t love about them is that the built in underwear really have a tendency to ride up so I feel like I’m frequently picking my wedgie. Just gotta be real about it.

I’ve become pretty obsessed with linen clothing this spring & I know I’ll reach for it all the time in the summer! These shorts are super comfy & soft & breezy. This coral color is just a tad see through, especially with this tank bodysuit (you can just see the undies part when you bend over). I’m wearing a medium in both & would say the bodysuit fits true to size, while the shorts are just a little bit oversized. Both pieces come in some other color options.

This is that same bodysuit, but in black! I tried it on with the same skirt I wore to the awards banquet earlier this week. Unfortunately my skirt is old from Walmart & is sold out, but I’ve linked some similar options below.

Same tank bodysuit, but paired with a tiered linen skirt — SAY LESS!!! I’ve been on the hunt for a plain black maxi skirt because I’ve been super into tanks & t-shirts with skirts lately. This one is fabulous!!! Super comfy & soft & has good pockets. I’m obsessed!! I’m wearing a medium in both & would say they’re both true to size.

My top is actually from Amazon (fits boxy, but true to size), but these jeans are Target! I’ve been wanting some white jeans for awhile now & I thought these were a great option. I sized up based on reviews, but I actually didn’t need to. They are super comfortable & have subtle distressing on the knees. These are perfect for spring & summer!
