I love the fit, I am wearing a size small, they do run TTS. The tie in the front is adorable. I promise the shorts look a lot cuter when they aren’t wrinkly, oops!

They pair perfectly with this ruffle trim tank that I also recently purchased from Shein. I’m sure you’ve seen this tank before on the blog, probably because I am obsessed with it.

I hope everyone had a great 4th of July! We had such a good day playing outside, swimming and of course eating a ton of food. Beckham is a little daredevil always keeping us on our toes. He’s not even two yet and loves to run and jump off the driving board. Pretty sure my heart stops every time he does it. He’s getting so big so fast, I swear no one ever warned me how fast time goes by after you have kids. Every time I come home from work he has learned a million new things, wishing time would slow down a little bit. My husband bought him his first bike yesterday, it is so cute trying to teach him how to pedal. He’s not really sure how it works but I’m sure he’ll catch on any minute and i’ll be running down the street trying to catch him. Do you guys feel like time flies so fast once you have kids too? Honestly, when I was in high school I never felt like time was flying by me. Anyway, have to hop off of here and make dinner. Leave a comment below and let me know what fun things you and your family did for the 4th!

You guys, this dress is SO CUTE! When I saw this pretty little thing on Shein.com, I instantly fell in love. The tiered look is absolutely adorable, all the heart eyes for sure! Green is usually just one of those colors that i’m not drawn to, I barely own anything green so I was a little hesitate to purchase this color but I am so happy I did. Green and white stripes are the perfect summer combo. However if you are looking for another color option, they do have 5 other colors and patters to choose from! I may have to order a few more of these babies. The sleeves are ruffled and the back has a little keyhole with a pretty little white pearl button. This dress is just adorable all around. I am wearing a size small, it runs TTS. Oh, I almost forgot to mention the BEST part! This dress is on sale for $13!!! The other color options are listed at $16. So whichever color you go with you are getting a great deal.

I hope everyone is having a great weekend! Our weekend has been great, especially our Sunday fun day. My sister and I had some girl time together today which is always nice. We went downtown and did a really fun photoshoot for you ladies! I can’t wait for you guys to see all the outfits I have to show you this week, the cutest stuff for summer plus amazing prices!! After the photoshoot we ate at one of your favorite little restaurants rights on the lake. I’m still thinking about how good my chicken quesadilla was, yum!! While the girls were away, the boys had a pool day and had a ton of fun too. So it really has been a good day for everyone. It is in the 90’s this weekend so the pool has been a must for all of us! I hope you guys had a fun weekend too, leave a comment below and let me know what fun plans you had this past weekend! Happy 4th of July week, hope everyone enjoys their holiday!

White Ruffle Sleeve Tank: Shein The most adorable white tank with the cutest ruffle sleeves. On sale for $6 and comes in 11 different colors and patterns.

Distressed Denim Shorts: Express Currently on sale for $25! Love the style of these shorts, distressed with a fringe bottom. Easily paired with anything. They are my go to shorts this summer!

Gold Sparkly Shoes: Express, I found these shoes on clearance a few months ago and fell in love with how fun they are! Seriously, gold sparkly shoes for adults, awesome! I feel like a little kid again wearing my favorite shoes around my friends, haha!! Unfortunately, these are no longer available so I found two similar styles that you can shop here and here.

Black and White Summer Nights

The $20 dress every girl needs for summer!

Swing Dress: Target (A simple black and white dress with the prettiest ruffled sleeves. This dress is easily dressed up or down and cots less than $20!! What a steal, seriously! ) Peep Toe Booties: I purchased these booties in the fall last year from Nordstrom Rack, however they have sold out so I have a tagged three similar styles here, here and here. (I love these black booties, they are my fist pair of peep toe booties and I can’t wait to buy more. So comfortable and stylish for all seasons, well except winter in the north!)

I love Sundays, they are so relaxing and peaceful. Today, we didn’t do very much, it has been cloudy and rainy all day, my favorite excuse to just stay inside and hang out. We are constantly so busy that it is nice to just stay in all day and watch tv. Although, I am a little sad because our pool is finally open and I haven’t even been able to go in it because the weather has been chilly and our pool is freezing cold!! I often wonder if Shane and I will live in Ohio our whole lives? I’d really like to move down south but it would be so hard to leave our families. I have some friends who have packed up and moved away and they love it. Maybe someday we’ll get the itch to leave! My husband always says he’ll miss having all four seasons, not me, I could definitely live without the snow. Haha!

Anyway, enough with my random thoughts. Today’s post is all about the cutest $20 dress that ever girl needs! This adorable black and white striped t-shirt dress is from Target. My sister wore this dress over last night and I couldn’t believe how cute it was so of course I had to run Target first thing this morning to buy it. I absolutely love the adorable ruffled sleeves. The dress does come in a few different colors options which are all easily dressed up or down. I paired it with a gorgeous pair of black peep toe booties from Nordstrom Rack. The booties have sold out but if you look above I tagged three similar styles all under $60! If you are looking for a simple dress that you can wear all summer than look no further!

Soft & Cozy Ruffle Sweater

Reviewing the softest, coziest ruffle sweater you ever did wear.

Ruffle Sweater: Forever21 (Unfortunately this sweater is only sold in stores. However I have tagged two super cute similar styles here and here)| Black Skinny Jeans: Express (These are a favorite of mine, they are so versatile, you can dress them up or down and they always look great!)

Happy hump day, woot woot! This week has been crazy busy at work and home so I am more than ready for the weekend to be here to enjoy some down time with my guys. The sweater featured in the pictures above is the softest, comfiest sweater I have ever owned! I swear it felt like I was wearing a sweatshirt all day today, which was perfect since it was rainy and gross outside. But, seriously, besides being soft and comfy, the ruffle detail is super cute and the fit is perfect. The ruffle fad this fall is sooo cute! I will definitely be living in this sweater all fall and winter! I also really loved the marbled grey and black look, will match any bottoms you pair it with. I purchased this sweater just two weeks ago at our local Forever21 store while shopping with my sister. Unfortunately, they do not have the product listed for sale online so if you are really interested you’ll have to shop in store for it (it’s totally worth it, believe me!). The price is fantastic too, less than $20! Forever21 always has some great deals. Hope you all have a fantastic rest of your week!
