WIWW

Hello and happy Wednesday!

Well, it’s been a minute since I’ve shared what I’ve been wearing.

I’ll be the first to admit that I drag my feet getting back into school mode, but one thing I do love about going back to school is wearing some of my favorite summer outfits.

So here’s a peek at what I’ve been wearing lately…

Hi my name is Jen, and I love a summer dress! I also love Shop Style Your Senses, so you’ll see a few items I’ve purchased from SSYS over the past few months.

I wore this lilac dress when we went to Hadley’s friend’s bat mitzvah. I wore it last spring to Keeneland, and I’ve worn it a few times in between. (Actually, I think I might wear it to school tomorrow!)

This is one of the pieces from their label, and I love everything about it…the color, the fabric, and the fit!

For a professional development day before school started, I wore this matching SSYS set…and threw on one of my favorite cardigans. (You never know about the room temps in a school building!)

I wore this SSYS dress on the first day of school. (I also have it in black) I also wore this dress when I met up with friends and then again to church on recent Sunday. This dress is perfect, and I love the zipper detail.

On the second day of school, I wore this cute new Amazon dress. I saw someone share it on Instagram, and I ordered it. She said to size down, so I tried a medium, but it was a bit tight in the chest. So, my typical size large is what works best.

I just thought it was a cute dress, perfect for school, and it has pockets!

On Sunday, I wore this SSYS dress to church. It’s so bright and colorful, and I love the cute ruffled collar. (and it has pockets!) Anyway, it’s a lot of fabric, so I don’t think I will wear it this week to school because of our hot temps…but I will definitely wear it a few more times before fall.

On Monday, I wore this black dress that I got last summer, and wore a cardigan over it for school. This is my same favorite cardigan, but in a different color. I wear it all the time. I’m still loving the sandals I ordered in the spring, and have been wearing them often as you can see.

Yesterday, I’m not sure why I chose the hottest day of eternity of wear pants…but I did.

At least they are my comfy Matilda Jane pants, and my favorite summer sweater. Apparently, I love a gold sandal. I think I got these at DSW, and I’ve had them for years. I love them because they are comfy, pretty, and a little nicer than flip flop style sandal.

One more addition to this post…for the first time ever, I ordered from Shein. I ordered three dresses, and really liked this one. The other two were just ok, so I plan on returning them.

Honestly, I was pleasantly surprised with all three considering the state of the package that was on my front porch. The Shein package looked like it had been dropped on the highway and then sat on the side of the road for days.

Obviously, the dress needs ironed, but it think it’s cute.

Also, y’all I’ve embraced the claw clip. I just noticed in a couple of the photos, I have my hair pulled back. I’ve started to do this at least one day a week…especially if I’ve run out of time to wash or style my hair.

These are my favorite clips to use. Hadley has a couple as well because I put them in her stocking last Christmas.

Anyway, I really think this time of the year is my favorite for what I wear. After the summer of mostly wearing athleisure, swim coverups, and shorts, it’s nice to get dressed. Plus, I love being tan…lol.

Well, I can also embrace sweater weather, but I think we have a while for that. Our temps are on the rise this week with heat advisories and over 100 degree heat index. Whew!

I hope you are staying cool!

  1. You are killing it in the dress department! I love the long new floral colorful one, but I can imagine the fabric might be too much this week. Next week looks great!
    I love the Shein dress, but see if you think the fabric is weird after wearing it all day. I wore the one blouse out for the comedy show and I just can’t describe the fabric – weird and artificial feeling. I wonder how their returns work?
    I love a claw clip. I need to get the more circular one like you showed. I only have the thinner ones. I have my hair in one almost everyday when I get home.

    1. I remember that you said that about fabric. This green one feels ok and it feels like it looked in the Shein In picture if that makes sense. I was happy to not be disappointed. The app made it easy for returns and sent me QR code for UPS store. It says my first return is free. I hope to go there today, so I will let you know. I like the circle one because it doesn’t stick out too far and I don’t notice that it hits my headrest while in the car like the bigger ones do.

      1. That’s good! It looks like a boutique dress! Oh, good to know. I never think to get the app but that is how I got a significant Aerie discount – by just getting the app – duh!
        Oh good point about the circle one!

      2. The app is where I found some STC deals …not that I need to tan right now, but next time I do, I’m checking the app. Apps for everything, I guess haha

      4. By the end of June, I’m still don’t have much color but her serious about the pool (& vacay) July /Aug.
        When I went to the pool for an hour on Sunday, I knew the tan would fade from there haha.
        I still use the Jergens foam on my arms and legs occasionally – especially since I never flip over when I tan. My legs probably still look like June 😆

  2. You have some really lovely summer dresses! I don’t think I ever stopped wearing my claw clips, it’s a great way to keep my hair contained and off my neck without always reaching for an elastic.

    1. I pull my hair back quite a bit in a low bun but with an elastic. I think it’s because of Hadley I paid attention to claw clips again. I like the ones I use because it doesn’t still out too far…& I don’t bump my head on the back of my car seat, for example.

  4. I love all the dresses! I’m on a dress kick as well, because of my new job (I want to look nice, and I need to stay cool), and the unbearable heat outside. I added that Amazon dress to my cart! I can’t wait to get it home and try it on. Thanks for these recs and inspirational post! I’m like you- I love being tan right now, and it makes wearing dresses more fun.
