Happy happy Friday, friends! Today, I’m partnering with Nordstrom and ShopStyle and wrapping up my week with a little summer casual and a little summer dress up. Next week, I’ll talk a little summer beauty too 😉 !
You guys, one week from today is our last day of SCHOOL!
Today, Andrew and I are taking the day off to enjoy a golf tournament in town with some friends, but as always, I’m linking up with my friends Andrea and Erika are sharing my favorite things from the week before I head into the weekend. Sending you lots of love! xx
‘Tis that time of the year when we need a dress.
Whether it’s a vacation, a graduation, a Sunday brunch, a wedding…there are just so many reasons to need a dress over these next few months, so I was pumped when I found three that I love from Nordstrom just in time for the season!
A long maxi dress with a slit? Yes, please! I love the floral print and how easily this dress moves. Plus, it’s so comfortable too! I paired all three dresses with my sandals from last summer that I still love and wear all the time. I bought them in clear, but they come in other colors too and right now, some select colors are even on sale!
Speaking of sale, this dress HERE is on sale right now too! The print I bought is already sold out, but there are other super cute prints remaining. Both of these dresses I bought run TTS. I bought them all in xs (and I’m 5’3″). See my cute sandals?! I love them!
Typically, I wouldn’t say that red is my color, but I just think this red dress here is super stunning! If you look online, you can see the back of it too which is super gorgeous. For this dress, I used a bra similar to this bra HERE underneath instead of my normal/favorite/can’t live without it strapless bra that I typically wear and love (I wore it in the first two pics!). I bought this dress in a small.
This time of year, if I’m not in a dress…and if I’m not in pajamas…
You can find my SHORTS and TOP at Nordstrom
…and I’m not in a swimsuit…
You can find my visor HERE
…then I’m in…
…SHORTS!
Shorts, tee, sandals repeat until fall 🙂 .
This time around, I thought I’d show you my summer casual uniform including three great white tees and three pairs of shorts!
Is there anything more simple and classic than a white tee and shorts?
This super soft v-neck comes in other color combinations, but my heart absolutely loved the white version! Paired with my favorite denim shorts FOUR YEARS AND RUNNING, and I’m off for summer fun. Right now, my favorite denim shorts are currently 30% off too!
How cute is my hat?! I have also pretty much worn these light little hoops every day this month (I’m wearing them above in the dresses pics too!). Add an initial necklace and my slippers, and this is my uniform.
Oh hey hat! Do you see what’s on the side 😉 ?! Nordstrom has a HUGE selection of sports team hats!
This tee needs no introduction as you’ve already seen me wear it a bazillion times…
…oh how I love this puff sleeve tee. Remember in the fall when I wore it ON REPEAT?!
I bought both the black and the white last summer and have just LOVED the heck out of them both, but now, it comes in NINE DIFFERENT COLOR OPTIONS for summer!!
This time though, I’m pairing my cute white tee with…
…these shorts 🙂 . Now, I love them because you can wear them a little longer or…
…roll them too. Several of you have asked more shorts with a little more length, and I love that these can be worn both ways! My platform sandals are HERE. They come in this wash and then also in a darker wash as well! Kut from the Kloth shorts are always great because they are the perfect mid-rise (not too high, never too low) and have just the right amount of stretch to make them comfy but not stretch out as you wear them. I’ve purchased many pairs over the years and always love them!
Speaking of which…
…look how cute this pair of Kut from the Kloth shorts are too!
Love the hem!
My third white tee outfit is an oldie but goodie…
…how many times have I talked about this tee right here?! It just always works. My slippers always work too 🙂 .
Three white tees with shorts for your casual summer! I have one bonus outfit for you today too…
How cute is this top?! I am in love!! This is more like a blouse-y top than a t-shirt. It’s so soft, the sleeves are so cute and it comes in so many other colors. I love that it can go in both the washer and dryer and just feels a bit elevated for your normal summer day. My shorts are Kut from the Kloth last season and my flip flops…
…are still one of my new favorite finds. They soles are cushy, so they’re extra comfy to wear while also being oh so cute. They come in a variety of colors too!
Nordstrom has always been my go-to for my family’s summer needs! From beauty to shoes, athletic wear, vacation wear, loungewear and every “wear” in between, it’s without a doubt, my favorite retailer. More than anything though, I love that they have impeccable service, free shipping, free returns and curbside pick up (all so handy for a busy mom during the summertime!). You can catch all of their services (including alterations, gift wrapping, style help and more HERE!).
…and go to Trader Joe’s.
These are like Cheetos that taste like truffle.
When I was checking out this week, the nice man helping me bag the groceries said “Oh, you’re going to regret just getting one bag”.
How right was he?
How. Right. Was. He?
Yay! I’m so happy you guys loved our new gallery wall this week! Between the gallery wall…
…and the yard post, you ladies were so sweet and encouraging of the things we’ve been doing around our house! THANK YOU!
If you missed them, you can catch all the details on Our Updated Gallery Wall and our 25 Keys to Maintaining our Yard posts.
All the love for this t-shirt. We had state testing this week, and she was super nervous beforehand. I bought her this shirt last year, but she pulled it back out to wear again this week. She is all of those things. All of them. I love her so much!
Whew! Let’s wrap up our week with The Best Baked Beans!
On Monday, I shared that I made these for dinner, and many of you had questions. This recipe is sweet Marla’s and without a doubt, it’s the best baked beans you will ever make! Your summer NEEDS THESE! Trust me! It does!
Happy Friday, friends! I hope you have a sunny, happy, blessed weekend! xx
Erika Slaughter says
I have no doubts Ashby rocked that test this week! Her shirt was perfect!
Elspeth says
I love the dresses-especially the red one! So fun and festive! Have a great weekend!

Cindy says
Being a retired teacher, I totally understand the pressure and nervousness with testing. Way to go Ashby for rocking that shirt. I’m sure you rocked that test, too!
Bev says
Hi Shay, I may have already asked you this but have you had any issues with the slip on UGGs you’re wearing? I’ve bought and returned two pair of that style because in a matter of months the fur wears right down to the sole??? I want a hot pink pair so bad!!!
Mix and Match Mama says
The fur on all of my slippers wears down for sure! I still continue to wear them daily and buy them though because they keep my feet super warm and are so comfy.
Bev says
Thanks for your reply! I’m on my way to the mall now! 😊
Leah says
Wishful thinking that Ashby’s shirt came in adult sizes! I think I was more nervous and anxious for that STAAR test than my 3rd grader was! Glad that’s over!
Sheaffer says
I love that first dress on you so much!!! And I of course love your summer uniform.
Brittany Raffray says
Hey Shay! Will you post a link for your mom’s shorts, please? Happy Friday!
Mix and Match Mama says
Her wardrobe details are in this post here: https://mixandmatchmama.com/2022/04/lovies-spring-summer-capsule-wardrobe/
Brittany Raffray says
Thank you!
Leslie says
Did I miss the winner for this week?
Mix and Match Mama says
It’s posted on Monday’s post! She’s already reached out and claimed her prize.
Beverly says
I love the dresses but wish you could show a few with a little sleeve like the sleeves in the T in outfit 2. I don’t like to show upper arms. Love a short dress too for us short ladies.
Many thanks. We still have 25 more days of school. Will it ever end?
Gwen says
Hi Shay, love your blog. Can you tell me where your mother got the black sandals she is wearing in the picture you posted today, please? I re-read the post of her wardrobe and didn’t see a link for those sandals. Thanks, have a great weekend.
Mix and Match Mama says
I will have to ask her, but I’m going to guess with a lot of certainty, Nordstrom!
Danna F says
The red dress is gorgeous on you! I was just looking for denim shorts for summer when I saw your post. Thanks for the recommendations. Also, had to purchase the clear wedge sandals…cannot love them more! Perfect amount of heel and they go with everything!
Have a great weekend!
Heather says
What do you do with all of your clothes when you get rid of them?
Mix and Match Mama says
There is one particular family that I donate to as well as a place here in McKinney that takes donations for women as well.
Denise Golden says
I just read my first Elin Hilderbrand book 28 Summers. I’m in love! What are her must read books?
Mix and Match Mama says
The Blue Bistro and The Identicals should be next on your list!
kasey says
Where do you find these large patio planters? they are gorgeous!
Mix and Match Mama says
A place in Dallas called Jackson’s Home and Garden!
