Hi friend! It’s our last day of school!!! Are any of you there with me?! It feels like both a relief and a little bit surreal because I still haven’t shaken off the major hustle that was most of April and May!
That having been said, I’m so looking forward to slower paced days at home with my kids. As they get older, you appreciate even more how quickly it’s all going. With a teenager in the house, there’s only so many more summers he’ll be here at home with me!
And my heart goes out to all you mamas with graduating high schoolers this year. I have several friends in the same boat and I’m hearing all the bittersweet swells of emotions.
Just know this: you’ve done an AMAZING job raising your kids and they are BLESSED to have you in their corner.

WHITE JEANS OUTFITS
Top ON SALE • Jeans • Wedges • Purse
I’m so crazy for the Paige Cindy high rise straight ankle jeans that you’ll notice they’re in my GIVEAWAY this month! They are the kind of jeans you put on and they feel AMAZING on, and you can comfortably wear them all day long! At the end of the day, you aren’t itching to get out of them like you are with some jeans.
The fact that they’re cut straight as opposed to skinny lends to that comfort factor. They look great with both flats, heels, wedges or sandals.
I will say, being just 5’1, they aren’t as short on me as they’re supposed to be. I’m going to throw them in the washer and dryer and see if they shrink up a bit. If not, I’ll probably take a sharp scissor to the end and them them a tiny haircut.
The white is perfectly opaque and not see through at all. If your white jeans have seen better days, try these!
How fun is this crop citrus top?! The little ruffle detail at the neck and body are darling and it’s fully lined.
Top Fit: I’m wearing an XS
Jeans Fit: I’m wearing a 25
This bright pink caught my eye and I like how this top is on the dressed up side with the crisp cotton feel. It has a collar, deep v neck (with a hook & eye closure to keep it closed) and twist front. It zips closed on the side and also comes in white and black.
Top Fit: I’m wearing an XS and it was snug, the little hook & eye closure was holding on for dear life!
Jeans Fit: I’m wearing a 25
Top code HONEY10 • Jeans • Wedges
Isn’t this clip dot top cute too?! It’s definitely work to weekend friendly and I liked how soft and easy to wear it felt on. It’s hitting me just above the elbow and has a fun rusched detail.
Top Fit: I’m wearing an XXS
Jeans Fit: I’m wearing a25
Gauzy perfection describes this button down top perfectly. It’s casual and effortless and also have a fun button detail on the back. Also in white and sage green, but isn’t the pale blue pretty?!
Top Fit: I’m wearing an XS
Jeans Fit: I’m wearing a 25
BLUE JEANS OUTFITS
In my book, it’s not summer without white cotton eyelet. This top is beautiful in person with all the eyelet and scallop detail. I left it untucked so you could see the pretty hem, but it also looks great tucked in.
Top Fit: I’m wearing an XS
Jeans Fit: I’m wearing a 25
I wore this top in NY for the Amazon Live Creator event with jeans at the beginning of the month. I felt very chic, but also incredibly comfortable! The top definitely makes a statement with the gorgeous lace detail and it’s fully lined underneath. There’s a button hole and closure behind the neck.
Top Fit: I’m wearing an XS. It doesn’t have stretch, so size up if you’re in between sizes
These are the same white jeans I’m wearing above in white. I liked them so much that I got them in two colors!
Jeans Fit: I’m wearing a 25
A crop top, sweater or cardigan always gives you the longest leg line with high waist jeans. This short cardigan has the cutest pointelle knit detail and you can wear it with a flesh toned bra like I am here, or layer a cami underneath.
Sweater Fit: I’m wearing an XS
Jeans Fit: I’m wearing a 25
This top is another statement style with the open emboridery detail and flutter sleeves. It an open style neck with ties you can leave open or wear tied. I

MOTHER BLUE JEANS OUTFITS
Top code HONEY10 • Jeans • Wedges • Crossbody
For this set of outfits, I changed into the Mother Jeans – Dazzler Mid Rise Ankle Straight Jeans. I don’t normally opt for mid rise jeans, having become much more comfortable in high waist jeans, but these surprised me. They feel really good on my waist (and hips), they’re just a a bit too long in the length.
The color is really pretty, a relaxed light blue with some natural looking fading at the thighs and a raw edge hem.
The top is a stretchy, medium weight ribbed knit with adorable flutter sleeves and a high neck. With the conservative cut, this top will take you from work to weekend.
Top Fit: I’m wearing an XXS
Jeans Fit: I’m wearing a 26, and should have ordered my true size, 25
Top code HONEY10 • Jeans • Wedges • Crossbody
Top code HONEY10 • Jeans • Braided Sandals
I also like the fit and feel of this gauzy textured top. It has an airy, open v-neck with flutter sleeves. Those kinds of sleeves are playful, but also help create the illusion of a smaller waist since they’re a bit wider and draw more attention up. This top is also fully lined and a pretty pink shade.
Top Fit: I’m wearing an XXS
Jeans Fit: I’m wearing a 26
Top code HONEY10 • Jeans • Heels
A charming work to weekend top here too. This one is flirty and feminine with an ivory background and blush colored florals. It’s a silky polyester overlay that’s fully lined underneath. That little ruffle hem is too cute!
Top Fit: I’m wearing an XXS
Jeans Fit: I’m wearing a 26
SHORTS OUTFITS
If you’re looking for an ultra comfy pair of shorts that aren’t jean shorts, this pair by Billabong is a great option. They’re an incredibly comfortable pull on style with an elastic waist and drawstring tie. They’re slightly higher on the sides with a curved hem, giving you a longer leg line. I also like that they have pockets.
The shorts come in several colors and I almost got the off black and warm yellow, but this light blue is awesome and will go with so much!
Tank Fit: I’m wearing an XS
Shorts Fit: I sized up to a Small, so they wouldn’t be too short
This is the same style shorts in a stripe. Very cool and you can treat the stripe like a neutral when considering what top to pair with it.

Shorts Fit: I sized up to a Small, so they wouldn’t be too short
DRESSES
Oh friend, this dress is so gorgeous! It’s floral perfection against a dark background which makes it great for day or evening. The top has a plunging v, but I’m wearing a regular bra and it’s still hidden. The ruffles are artfully placed and they skirt has beautiful movement!
Dress Fit: I’m wearing an XS and even with a heel it’s a little long on me
So good from behind!
Floral Print Tie Maxi Dress ON SALE • Clear Sandals
This dress is a stunner in such a fun, vibrant hue. It has spaghetti strap shoulders and a criss cross front and back. It comes with the coordinating tie belt and then the skirt is a little bit high/low. It would be a great dress for a lively summer party!
Dress Fit: I’m wearing an XS
Floral Print Tie Maxi Dress • Clear Sandals
Tiered Floral Print Dress ON SALE • Sandals • Bag
I feel like this dress would have been perfect for Cinco de Mayo, but it’s still good for summer vacay and parties! It has a fitted bodice with adjustable shoulder straps that are complete with an o-ring detail. The skirt has tiered ruffles and a coordinating tie belt.

This is a unique dress because you can wear it two ways – with the v-neck in the front or back! The opposite side is a wide crew neck style. It’s stretchy and relaxed fitting with a thigh high side slit.
Dress Fit: I’m wearing an XXS
Floral Puff Sleeve Dress • Sandals • Purse
This floral puff sleeve dress is sassier on than I thought it would be. That sweetheart bodice with a ruched front and tie emphasizes your cleavage. It’s fitted at the waist with a skirt that’s hitting me at the knee. The back is smocked at the waist and open in the upper back with a tie. I love how the longer puffed sleeves compliment everything.

PAJAMAS
Daisies for the win with this soft pajama set! They’re menswear inspired, but oh so soft and stretchy on! If you’re not a fan of the cute florals, they come in solid colors too.
Pajama Fit: I’m wearing an XS
I buy pajamas by Honeydew on repeat because they are so comfortable to both lounge and sleep in. If it’s too warm for a long sleeve top, I’ll wear a tank instead, but I like to put on the long sleeve top in the morning over the tank. I’m crazy for the soft colorblocking in this set.
Pajama Fit: I’m wearing an XS
I didn’t realize it at the time, but this henley style pajama top is supposed to come with shorts and my order was missing the shorts. I was so bummed when I realized! How cute is that baseball inspired henley top?!
