The children officially started 5th and 7th grades today. Not sure where the time has gone. Like all moms on the first day of school, I am holding my breath until they come home. Hoping they have a great start to their year. Likewise, I feel like a new year is beginning for me, too. Do you feel that way? Time to get organized and motivated. I will say that I am getting excited for an Autumn wardrobe. Texture, neutrals, and layers. Sounds pretty good to me right about now. Sharing a few finds that I am loving lately.
A FEW FAVORITES
When my daughter and I were back to school shopping we spotted this crossbody. There is just something about it that I really love. Great neutral and a darling shape. Plus it’s just different from anything else I have right now.

My twist front sweater is a closet staple these days. I wear it with shorts and jeans and love it. You can also wear it backwards so the twist is in the back. This sweater is almost identical with the twist in the back.
These flats are such a steal. While I am normally in heels or running shoes, there is something about these that I just love. Maybe the ballet strap or maybe the color. In any event they are on sale for $29!!! Yep, you read that right. They are true to size and come in a few colors.
These jeans are very comfortable. A really great fit but I recommend sizing down one. I am in a zero but am normally a 2/4.

Here is another look at the flats. I really like how feminine and sweet they look. Especially paired with distressed jeans.

My lace bralette comes in a zillion colors and is so comfortable. I love they way it looks with deep v tops or sweaters.

Loving all of these neutrals for Fall. So easy to transition the wardrobe with a few simple pieces. The leopard is always a great neutral and looks so good with denim and ivory.

So now I wait for my babies to come home from school. No matter how old they get, we still worry about their first days. Wishing all of your children a great first day, too.
I love the neutrals too because you can add a colorful fall scarf and it just pops! Can’t wait to hear how their first day went – will they enjoy their cake after school?
Agreed. And yes! Before they head to sports. Great first day and a busy afternoon.
I read the one review on the crossbody bag. It said the bag looked cheap and they were donating it. I know it’s not leather but a good does it look really cheap?
Your sweater is very cute and a little sexy. Perfect for date night!
Hmmmm. I picked it out in store because I thought it was really cute. I think these photos depict what it looks like in real life so I hope that helps. But it’s certainly not a designer bag. Just fun and different!
The first day of school is a pretty big deal for moms and kids alike. I think it’s because the teacher they get and whether or not they have friends in the same class can make or break a year! So I always stew that first day. Last year I even walked the dog past the school ground at recess because I couldn’t wait…#shameless. In Canada, we still have a few more weeks, most schools are back in session after labour day. Hope your kids had a great first day and are off to an amazing new school year!
Hope your kids had a great first day! Mine go back next week, and my youngest goes off to preschool 🙂 Totally agree about it being a fresh start for us too — I usually use back to school as a time to re-set my goals (and this year I’ll actually have a few hours alone for a change!). And since I don’t comment on your blog often enough, just want to tell you what a happy and wonderful space on the internet your site is. I know your family has been through a lot this year but you are such an uplifting spirit and I always enjoy reading about what you’re up to.
Hope your kiddos had a great first day! In Wisconsin , school doesn’t start until after Labor day, so we are soaking up the last couple weeks of summer.
Cute outfit & I love your lip color – can you please share what lipstick you’re wearing? It looks like the perfect berry. Thank you!
