I had to revise the title for this post as I originally typed July 27 – because how can it possibly be the END OF AUGUST??? Yet it is.
My hope is that this Friday finds you well and looking forward to the weekend. A few things caught my attention this week and can qualify as favorites so let’s get to it!
Favorite #1
This cute dress was my very favorite from this week. Gives me all the fall feels but it’s honestly cool enough to be worn now. I had so much fun styling it a few different ways. Walmart has some of the cutest dresses at affordable prices for fall. The Free Assembly line is well made. I recommend shopping online, my local stores don’t carry much in the way of this line.

Walmart’s Time and True line is another one I love and they have some great boots right now. These are a great dupe for mine. I bought mine form the Nordstrom Anniversary sale and love them but the ones from Walmart are a fraction of the cost!

I have been waking up by 4:30 am for years now and while most think I need my head examined, there’s so much to be said about being an early riser. I decided to start waking that early and going to the gym by 5am when I returned to work full time. It was hard to get to the gym after work and on the weekends- I hated leaving my family and always valued dinner time for the 4 of us. This was a gift I gave myself – no more excuses and time for me. It’s true that if we don’t take care of ourselves we truly cannot take care of others.

When I attended the grand opening of Evereve in Winter Park a few weeks ago, I realized that one thing my wardrobe was missing was pair of black sneakers. The pair they had me try on cost $300! Absolutely not in my budget. So the search began. I found this pair (not an affiliate link BTW)and not only were they a third of the price but they were an additional 50% off so for under $50 these babies will be mine!

Chico’s is having a teacher appreciation sale right now! Not just at Chico’s but their family of brands. I do love the quality of their pieces. You’ll need to shop instore and show your ID BUT you’ll save 20%!
Not a teacher? No worries, Chico’s Denim event ends 8/29. $59 Full price regular and ankle pull on jeggings and $79 for select regular and ankle jeans. Shop here. All of my pull on pants from Chico’s are comfortable and look great!

These jeggings are my favorite! I wear a 00 in Chico’s sizing (equivalent to a 2-4). Check their size charts because their sizing is different. But I love that these distressed jeggings don’t actually show any skin. They are super comfortable and so comfortable.
I have a wish list for Chico’s and these pants are in my cart! I am so drawn to the shape and think they’d be flattering on any body type. And this blouse gives me all the feels, I am an absolute lover of toile!

Amazon does it again! Y’all know how much I love my crossbody bag and fun strap. Well, Amazon has a great dupe that will save you plenty! Check this bag out. My friend Amy got it after seeing it on another blog. I could not believe it. There are 4 colorways available. I love this bag because it’s the perfect size and is just so darn easy to use. I get compliments almost every time I use this bag and the strap is also so eye catching!
