I’m back with another roundup of dresses under $100! This week includes some lovely summer/fall wedding guest dresses, a bunch of effortless everyday dresses you can throw on with little effort and instantly look fabulous, and more transitional dresses that are under $100 to take you into fall.
Back to school season is upon us, so cue the organization before the start of the school year. For the last couple of years, Mitch and I have been devoting 15 minutes every day to one “home task” that’s been bugging us, and I can’t tell you how much of an impact tackling one small project every day has made on our happiness. My problem previously was that I tended to shut down and put off big organizational projects because it was overwhelming. But 15 minutes per day? I can handle that. I’ve been incredibly surprised to see how much I can accomplish in that timeframe. Slowly but surely, things are starting to fall into place! If you’re looking to tackle a few projects before the end of summer, here are some back to school home organization ideas.
As summer winds down, I wanted to share three end-of-summer business casual workwear outfit ideas. Whether you work from home or go into an office, you still want to look and feel your best. When shopping for office clothes I think it’s easiest to treat it as a capsule wardrobe. Look for neutral basics that you can layer to make multiple outfits; think blazers, blouses, sweaters, tees, and jackets. Choose versatile pieces you can style on the weekends or wear out to dinner with friends after work to make the most out of your wardrobe; this is where pieces like work dresses are so great. For example, this gorgeous polished shirtdress can be easily worn to any occasion by simply swapping out the shoes and accessories. And pick pieces you feel comfortable in. There’s nothing worse than having to adjust a dress or a blouse throughout the day or wearing tailored work pants that are not fun to sit in.
Transitional seasons are not only tricky to dress for, but they can also be challenging to shop for. It’s hard to invest in a piece you know realistically you’ll only get to wear for a month or two before the seasons change. That’s where transitional basics under $100 come in. Think cardigans that are easy to layer or floral dresses that you can style with leather riding boots or ankle boots in the fall. T-shirts, button-ups, and midi skirts are also all great pieces to shop for since they’re so versatile year-round. Here are some of the transitional basics under $100 I’m eyeing.
Somehow it’s already August, which means we’re in the final stretch of summer break over here. It’s been a jam-packed summer starting with taking Emma and Lucy to their first Taylor Swift show (so many happy tears!) Then the girls headed to Gammy Camp, Mitch and I visited Colorado Springs, and celebrated our 10 year anniversary. There were lots of coffee dates with the girls at La Colombe, backyard grilling nights, boat rides on the lake, and evening bike rides to the beach. We even managed to tackle a few home projects off our list like refinishing our deck and building the outdoor kitchen of our dreams, renovating the mudroom, and most recently installing new garage floors… we’re happy we did it ourselves and learned a ton, but we definitely should have hired someone haha. Trying to level uneven floors was a bit of a disaster but the floors did not crack under the weight of the Atlas so I’ll call it a win.
Midi dresses are one of my go-to summer outfits for many reasons; they’re comfortable, very versatile, and seem to make any outfit look a little more polished. This navy utility tie waist shirtdress is a great midi dress under $70. The material is soft, the fit is wonderful, and it’s also available in green. Here is how to style a midi dress three ways.
Let me start by prefacing I’m not ready for fall just yet, but J.Crew’s new arrivals were too good not to share. J.Crew has wonderful basics year round, but their fall collection is always one of my favorites because of their lovely sweaters, jackets, and jeans. Like this gorgeous cable knit sweater that is under $100. Here are my favorite J.Crew New Arrivals right now.
I’m back with another monthly round-up of Amazon Fashion Finds. This month there is a mix of a few lovely new arrivals like these espadrille sandals and this leather bag, as well as a bunch of beloved bestsellers. And I love that all of these incredible basics are under $100, if not under $50. Here are some of the dresses, tops, sandals, and bags I’m eyeing.
At this point, my summer wardrobe mainly consists of dresses, and it’s made putting together summer outfits so much easier in the mornings or if I’m packing for a trip. So I rounded up a few perfect summer dresses, all under $100. From fun and floral vacation dresses to versatile everyday dresses, here are my favorite Summer Dresses Under $100.
Mitch here!
Today’s post is a little more serious than the average Mitch post because we’re partnering with Evolv Technology to discuss their impressive new efforts to improve public safety. As the son of a teacher, former teacher myself, current city dweller and father of two full-time elementary school students, the safety of my family while out in public is always top of mind. And it’s been very encouraging and exciting to learn about the new security technologies being developed by Evolv Technology to help make our communities safer!
