Casually Cropped
When I was younger, one of my favorite things about late summer was back to school shopping. I get the shopping gene from my mom, so she would get just as excited to go shopping as I would. I was like her Barbie doll; she would say thinks like “please try this on for me?!” Needless to say, we still love shopping together and even though I am not going back to school, the back to school shopping tradition is still alive. I found some new, fresh fall pieces at my last shopping trip. I am loving this season’s chic minimalist styles.

Resort Romper
This summer has been a little different than past summers. With the arrival of Gavin in late May, we have traded fancy dinners for outdoor picnics and resort vacation for pool days in our backyard. I love getting dressed up on vacation so since our background is kind of like our own little resort (right?), I dressed for the occasion with an adorable romper I found on clearance at T.J. Maxx. One of my favorite things about August? Summer clearance! Have you found any good deals lately?
