Feel Good Friday
Happy happy Friday!!!
what I've been up to...
Aves being nominated as a homecoming candidate was a pretty good excuse for us to come back to the ole stomping grounds! How stunning is she?!?!!!! Her sequin pantsuit was GOALS!
On Saturday morning, I went to my sister’s volleyball tournament! My mom & I stopped to get coffee first.
I had to take my cheer exam in between the games!
I got a pumpkin spice smoothie from Smoothie King for lunch on Sunday & it was DELISH! Are you a pumpkin spice lover like me? I’m obsessed with it!
& more sister volleyball during the week, too!
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…
High school game day OOTD!
Saturday…
OOTD for my sister’s volleyball tournament!
Sunday…
Chiefs Sunday OOTD!
Monday...
Still celebrating that Chiefs win!
Tuesday...
Finally convinced myself to get out of bed early & walk on my treadmill!
& OOTD!
Wednesday...
Comfy OOTD for walking club day!
in case you missed it...
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.
Two of my most favorite things are coming together today — supporting small businesses & jewelry! & it’s even better because it’s fall-themed & y’all know fall is my fav season!! I’m so excited to share these clay earrings with you today from StrongGirlClayCo. I knew I loved Melissa’s business just after hearing the name of it & then when I saw her darling pieces, I was hooked! My youngest sister was at my house when I unboxed them & she legit tried to steal them lol I have the pumpkin studs in white & teal as well as the leopard print longer ones (more pics below). They’re so lightweight & feel great in my ears! You can use my code (SIMPLYSMALLTOWN) for 10% off from her site!
friday favs...
I’m not sure about the rest of you, but we had a major cold front move in overnight & I am HERE FOR IT!!! This assorted fall crew literally could not be any more perfect!! I’m doing a giveaway with trendznmore over on my Instagram page, but I also have a discount code (ALLI25) for you to get 25% off your first order from their store! They have tons of other darling pieces, so be sure to check them out!!
I’ve got a super cute Target + Walmart haul to share today so here we go!
Is this not the cutest mug you’ve ever seen!? The words say “more love, please”! Love it!
One of my school’s colors is red so I love finding cute pieces that I can use to dress up for game days! This sweater is so cute with the diagonal stitching & neckline. I’m wearing a medium & would say it fits more like a small — other colors are available! & I paired it with my new fav work pants from Old Navy! I have them in green also (wearing a small, they fit oversized).
I was on a bit of a work pants hunt & I wanted to try all the kinds + styles. This bright blue is also one of my school’s colors, so again, it’s perfect for game day! They are a super comfy & breathable material & feel like super high quality. I got a medium & would say they fit true to size — other color options are available.
More work pants & how cute are these with the trendy little side slit!!! I don’t have any pants in this cute blue color so I was excited to try them out & got even more excited when this shacket from Walmart came in & matched them PERFECTLY!!! I’m wearing a medium in the pants & a small in the shacket & would say both fit true to size.
Nice, work appropriate jogger-style pants have become my new best friend at work. This year I’m very on the go & need to be wearing things that fit the environment. The joggers are from Target (wearing a medium, fit WAY oversized) & the classic grey & white leopard cardigan is from Walmart (wearing a small, fits true to size). You can’t go wrong with a neutral outfit like this one!
Ok is this floral puffer coat from Walmart not the cutest thing you’ve seen all week?!?! I am straight up obsessed!! It is so warm & cozy & great quality!! There are other color options available, but this floral print is by far my fav!!
I really like the trendy flowers on this Walmart cardigan & I already know my middle school students are going to love it! Super cozy, soft & warm & fits true to size.
& last, but certainly not least is the zip-up hoodie jacket I’ve been searching for & the best part is that it’s $15!!! I styled it here underneath a denim jacket, but I wore it on Wednesday so you can scroll up to see it in my OOTD post for that day. I got a small & would say it fits just a tad oversized. I’ve already ordered it in black, too!
Lately I’ve started sharing more about my health / learning to love the body I’ve got journey. If you’ve watched those, then you know that one of my biggest struggles is getting enough greens into my diet — I’m just not a huge veggie lover! But Teami’s superfood greens have been exactly what I needed! It helps with bloating, my skin, & even energy, to name a few! 🙌🏼 & you guys know I always come through for you when I can… you can use my code SMALLTOWN20 for 20% off!

I’m working the book for the high school JV volleyball tournament on Saturday & then my mom is coming over to help me get my life back on track! I’ve shared about this a bit in my Instagram stories recently, but I’m working through some major stress at work & when that happens, the blog takes the backseat. I’m looking forward to getting more organized & I think that will help me keep up with all of the things I need to do! But in the meantime, thanks for being patient with me. :)
