These are the easy to reach for pieces. The tops look great dressed down with jeans (Madewell’s 10″ skinny high-rise styles are my favorites), or tucked into a pencil or midi skirt. The tunic dress is everything I want right now — loose but not shapeless, comfortable, understated chic. And thank you, fashion world, for making high-rise ‘in’ again! I feel my best in that proportion and when it’s currently trending, it’s so much easier to find clothes that work for me and my style.

4″ Pleated Shorts, Target –
$23$16 (so good!) -
Melina Paperbag Pants, Boden –
$120$84 (they also carry a few more paperbag waist pants and skirts)
I had high hopes of dressing in these and taking photos so you could see them on, but I have mostly been waking up, tiling the laundry room in grubby work clothes, taking a cold shower, and going to bed (but we finally got the hot water tank back in yesterday, woohoo!). Can I ask though, is it helpful to see the pieces I recommend actually on? Like those shorts. I called them out last week because they are my favorite find in forever. $16! Flattering! Cute! I want you all to have them and love them as I do! Are the brands’ product photos enough for you to get a sense of the fit, or do you like seeing them on a person (as opposed to model) too?

July 15, 2018 at 7:21 amI know the timing wasn’t good for you this time, but I also prefer to see the items on a non model person. Nice picks though.

That’s what my sisters and I used to shout when we had new clothes and wanted to show each other. Let’s see the outfits “in real life” as my four-year-old says.

July 16, 2018 at 11:29 amMy daughters refer to the fashion show after getting new clothes as PPA…post purchase appreciation. now everyone in the family has to participate, even my husband and son.

July 17, 2018 at 6:25 amThank you for the pictures and the prices. A lot of other folks don’t show anything so you have to click on every item and then it takes you to the website of the item, so much time involved. Some give you a little hint from the blogger like” I like this” or “you might like this”, no pic, no price! I hate that. So thanks again, good job!
