I am normally running around doing carpool, driving to ballet or doing the grocery shopping. So when it’s date night I love to get dressed up a little more. This week we went to a casual dinner and I wore my favorite black maxi. With jewelry and cute sandals, this is the easiest outfit ever. Not to mention comfy. 
maxi dress {$38} | similar belt | sandals When I was browsing through Nordstrom this week while Mother’s Day shopping, I spotted the cutest sandals ever. They are brand new. In fact, the salesman told me I was the first to try them on as they just came off the truck. The price point is crazy good. I love the gold detail for summer and they are comfy. I have already worn them three times. 
Rian Thong Sandal I love that they look cute with a nice summer dress or even with cut off jean shorts. Good summer staple. They run true to size. I might not take them off. Not kidding. Spotted this blouse at Nordstrom and am so happy I picked it up. Even my hubby loves it on. It’s feminine and light and super super soft. Great piece with shorts or jeans in the summer. 
embroidered tank Came home and paired the tank with jean cut off shorts and my new sandals.

SIZING: I wear a 2-4 and bought a size M tank. I have fairly broad shoulders. 
stella handbag $21 Jean shorts always beckon to earth tones for me. Really love this olive colored purse and the gold detail. It’s a little edgy and fun. And the sale price is AWESOME!!!!!! 
fringed necklace I have been wanting a necklace like this from a higher end store forever. This one is an awesome price. Done! I wasn’t sure if I would keep up the Saturday Shopping posts, but the response has been really strong. I love hearing from readers who say they bought something from one of these posts and love it. That makes my day. It always is nice to know I am writing to more than just my parents. If you have missed other Saturday posts you can get caught up here. And Happy Mother’s Day to all of the mommies, young and old, who love and work tirelessly to create a beautiful world for their children. Hope you have a wonderful day. *affiliate links used
Happy Saturday Courtney! Love the tank and thinking about buying it myself, but trying to determine what size. Did you find that it ran true to size, or run big or small? Thanks and Happy Mother's Day weekend! -Alisa
Thanks, Alisa!!! I bought a M and normally wear a 2-4. I hope that helps. I think a S would be too tight under my arms. Have a wonderful weekend.
Love the tank, love the sandals, love your Sat. posts 🙂
Thanks, Emily!!!! xoxox
You look so adorable! Curious how tall you are? I'm a shorty and have to get all my maxi dresses hemmed. Have a wonderful Mother's Day weekend!! Xx-Lindsay

So please keep up the good work!!!
Hi! I tried replying but there was no email attached. You honestly made my day. I even read your sweet comment to my husband. Thank you so much for your kinds words. Cheers to you in France!!! {envious!}
I love your blog. Home decorating of course but these Saturday shopping posts are a favorite. I bought that white target purse you featured a few weeks ago and LOVE it!
Oh, so happy! Thank you. I LOVE that purse. Happy you were able to get one.
You can really pull an outfit off!! Do you diet or exercise? I need some tips to keep working at my size 5 goal!!

It's all about the angle!!! Ha! I do workout { I kickbox} but have been bad about it lately in our heat. I am also just huge on eating as well as I can. I'l email you!
I really enjoy the Saturday shopping posts, Courtney. I hope that you continue them. Happy Mother's Day!
Thank you, Barbara. So happy to hear that! I will keep harassing my hubby to take photos for them! Ha
You're beautiful, Courtney! I love your outfits.
Thank you, Brandi!!! SO sweet. I appreciate it.
Hello! I love these Saturday posts….! I was wondering how the jean shorts run? I am usually between a 26 & 27. What do you think? I love that they are higher waisted and looser in the leg. So cute! Any insight would be great! Thanks!
I think I emailed you . . but I am usually a 25 in this type of sizing and that is what I bought with those. I am a 2/4 in most bottoms.
You look so pretty Courtney in the maxi and cute shorts and top. That top is darling and looks so comfy. I think you already know that I adore your Saturday posts and always look forward to them. Love your style!! My wardrobe has acquired some nice items thanks to you! Hope you and your mom have a very Happy Mothers's Day!
I always love your support in the shopping world with me! It's so much fun. Was thinking about you over Mother's day. Hugs, friend.
Hi Courtney, LOVE your Saturday shopping posts! I've purchased a couple of items due to your posts….most recently the white/tan handbag from Target!!!! LOVE it!!!! Please continue to post the Saturday shopping.
LOVE your blog…you have a beautiful home, fashion style and family!!!! All a beautiful reflection of you!
Happy Mother's Day!
SO so sweet. Thank you for such a nice compliment. I am so thrilled to know you enjoy the posts and that you were able to get that purse. I love it and carry it almost every day. Love that the bottom won't show any dirt!
LOVE LOVE LOVE the Saturday shopping posts! Please keep them!
You got it!!! Thank you!!
Oooh love that tank…it's so easy and has a cute bohemian look to it!
Yes! Bohemian is spot on. You are so right about that. And so easy. Really gravitating towards things like that right now.
Love the tank and sandals! I probably don't need another pair of sandals..but, who am I kidding?! lol And I'm with you on dressing up for date nights, sometimes I need to feel more like a girl 🙂
Yes on date nights and looking feminine! I love it. I might be tired towards the end of the day with the kiddos . . but something about dressing up and feeling good changes everything. I promise these sandals are good ones!
Great finds. Love those sandals! and you look so cute in that tank!! What a perfect Saturday lounging outfit for summer.
Thanks, Tara. It is comfy for sure. Hope you had a wonderful week.
