Good morning! Gosh, I didn’t mean to step away from the blog last week, but it just was a busy start to summer. We are still recovering from all of the graduation festivities and gearing up for orientation. Today I am sharing some really cute summer finds and most are under $50! Bring on the sunshine and slower pace.
WALMART SUMMER FINDS
![striped dress](https://athoughtfulplaceblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/striped-blue-dress-800x1422.jpg)
This dress was too good not to share right away. It’s incredibly soft and will sell out quickly. It’s under $40, has pockets and I truly love it. We are headed to the beach soon and I can’t wait to take it with me. The top is lined so you don’t need to wear a bra under it if you don’t want to. A fantastic dress, girls. I am 5’7″ and wearing the small.

I was so pleasantly surprised to have these sandals be comfortable right out of the gate. Not only are the comfortable but under $25 and a really nice size heel (not too high). I think I might order them in the darker brown as well. These are a hidden gem.
LINEN GOODNESS
![white blazer](https://athoughtfulplaceblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/linenblazer-800x1422.jpg)
This blazer is fantastic. I am so happy I ordered it. It’s so darn cute and looks great with so many pieces in my closet. It looks more expensive than it is but comes in at $39. The straw bag is also great for summer. A nice size and under $20.
![striped top](https://athoughtfulplaceblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/striped-top-800x1422.jpg)
This sweater tank is only $20 and so fun for summer. I like the detail on the sleeves and neckline. You can’t go wrong with a classic black and white combo. I think I might order it in white, too.

A heads up that the white linen shorts that match the blazer are see through. But the black linen ones would work or the ones I am wearing.

These are the black shorts I am wearing. Great length and a nice smooth fabric. They are easy to dress up a bit and currently on sale.

AMAZON LOVES
![crochet cover up](https://athoughtfulplaceblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/crochet-swim-coverup-800x1422.jpg)
This is a five star Amazon find. I was so pleasantly surprised when it arrived. Incredibly soft and so cute. It comes in a few colors. This is the apricot (looks taupe) and I am wearing the small. I like that it makes you feel very pulled together. Highly recommend and easy to pack if traveling.

I ordered this white bodysuit to pair with these linen pants. I’ll be taking the look on vacation with us.
![closet light](https://athoughtfulplaceblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/closet-lamp-800x1422.jpg)
This darling cordless lamp is still going strong. It’s a 5 star Amazon buy for sure. It looks so cute in a powder room or pretty much anywhere you want to add a warm glow.
TARGET
![white top](https://athoughtfulplaceblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/wide-leg-and-white-800x1422.jpg)
Without question, this is my most worn top right now. It’s $25 and darn cute. The jeans are so good (I’m 5’7″ and in heels. . . they run long).
![](https://athoughtfulplaceblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/travel-bag-800x1422.jpg)
I stumbled upon this at Target the other day. So cute. It reminds me of the higher end travel bag from Nordstrom. But a great save option!

Here is a better look. It is under $50 and gets really wonderful reviews.
NORDSTROM

I am a sucker for a white dress and this one is so unique and pretty.

My daughter has a dress similar to this and I love the cut so much. So feminine and pretty.

THIS DRESS!!! I think I may need to order this. What a beautiful dress for summer.

This is another really pretty summer look. Two pieces but still a modest cut and I love the colors.
SQUARE NECK
![](https://athoughtfulplaceblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Screen-Shot-2024-06-01-at-8.20.06-AM-800x944.png)
I think a square neckline is so flattering. This one is just in and a beautiful classic look.
FOUTH OF JULY

This flag sweater keeps calling my name. It comes in at $41 compared to the high end version that is $248. Just can’t decide if I like the light or the dark. I do love the stitching of the high end version but like keeping $200!
FOR THE HOME
![](https://athoughtfulplaceblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Screen-Shot-2024-06-01-at-8.09.18-AM-800x781.png)
I ordered these pillow covers for an upcoming project and can’t wait for them to arrive. Such a pretty coastal, summer vibe. These pinstripe ones are also really pretty.

These oil jars are fun.

And we just ordered these. Fun for a coffee bar setup.
![](https://athoughtfulplaceblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/water-glasses-800x1067.jpg)
I always like to update you on past purchases. We LOVE these vintage water glasses. We keep them on our open shelves because they are so pretty. They have been great and they fit so nicely in the dishwasher, too. A five star Amazon purchase. (mug was a gift)

We’ve used these for years and they are still going strong. So great for two rolls of toilet paper in each bathroom. They now come in this light brown. Over 6k five star reviews.
![bathroom update](https://athoughtfulplaceblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/guest-bathroom-makeover_2-800x1422.jpg)
You can see the basket in use here. They really are so great. And nice visual to know when you need to refill the paper.
*Quick bathroom facelift here.

Huge heads up if you are not already using these. We hang these dehumidifier bags in our closet and this time of year they extract so much moisture. These are great for college kids to hang in their closets, too.
Might have an issue with only buying ivory tops.
NOTICEABLE DIFFERENCE
![](https://athoughtfulplaceblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/hair-collagen-800x1422.jpg)
I had my hair done the other day and my sweet stylist commented about how much my hair had grown and how thick it felt (and healthy). She asked if I was still taking Collagen. The crazy thing is that I had stopped for a while and then started back up about three months ago (never miss a day) and it’s definitely doing it’s job. So great for skin, hair, nails and joints (great for my complexion too). I switched from Life to Skin, Hair, Nails because I really LOVE the taste of it. This is what I order in case you are interested. (COURTNEY will take $10 off if you are a new customer).
Off to the farmer’s market to stock up for the week. Wishing you all a really wonderful weekend. And hug your family tight. We’ve experienced losses in our community this past week and it’s so important to tell your people how much you love them. See you back here on Monday.
Hi Courtney! I just wanted to tell you that I love your blog and look forward to your Saturday shopping posts. I love everything that you recommend! Thank you for bringing the joy and congratulations to your sweet daughter!
Jenny! This absolutely made my morning. Thank you for the kind words and for taking the time to message me. Means more than you know. Have a wonderful weekend.
