Hello, hello! I hope you have all had a great Tuesday so far.
I spent the morning dealing with some server and link issues. Again. Buttt, we’re back!
Today I wanted to dive back into a series I started on the blog last year called Fashion Favorites. Here, I compile some of the outfits I wore in that last month or season on the rare occasion I wasn’t in workout clothes.
To be honest, I wasn’t sure I wanted to continue on with this series. By no means do I consider myself fashionable, and nine times out of ten you will just see an entire post of selfies with anything but flattering lighting. I am also horrible at consistently capturing my outfits.
On the other hand, some of you have expressed interest in bringing this series back, so here we go! I completely skipped out on the last few months and figured when that happens, I could just clump the highlights together in seasons. I was starting to put together a list for Summer, but first, we have some catching up to do with Spring!
Those of you who have been following the blog for a while should already know that I am a bargain shopper through and through. Yes, I do have certain pricier items, but those are what I consider to be investment pieces that I can wear with anything like jewelry, purses, heels, or winter accessories I will wear year after year.
Everything else was most likely purchased at a discount or through Stitch Fix!

As you can probably see, Spring in Michigan is still pretty chilly. I wore my “Fall” boots well into April and May, which just seems bazaar to me (as a native Floridian). But, you do what you gotta do. I’ll never say no to oversized sweaters or long shirts with leggings or skinny jeans, and I have found ways to jazz them up with necklaces and scarves.
I definitely sported more of my “fashionable” outfits on trips where I failed to capture full body photos. I told you, I have no business doing these types of posts. Haha! What you see above is most likely what I wore to casual dinners, over to friends’ houses, or even to church. I’ll put a conscious effort into snapping more for next time!

Skyler did great walking into KINDERGARTEN with a big smile on his face this morning. I, however, was a bit of a mess on our walk home. 🥹
It’s wild how fast these 5 years with him have gone … 7 since we moved to NYC and into our apartment, dreaming of the day our kids would someday go to the *awesome* school right down our block. 🏫
That day is today, and I still don’t believe it — feeling allll of the emotions and thanking God for placing us here and for being able to trust His timing through the journey. 🫶🏼 #hbshinnyc
SO proud of you, SK - you are going to rock your first year at your “big boy school” - WE LOVE YOU !! 🩵👑](https://lifeinleggings.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png)
Wow, I am loving that Pac-Sun jacket! Right now I am obsessing over Adidas SuperStar Originals in white with black stripes…that seem to be sold out in my size everywhere I look. My mother even combed over all of Las Vegas when she was there for me. No luck! I love seeing what people are wearing to get new ideas for outfits so I’m glad to see this series come back!
It’s one of my favorite pieces in my wardrobe! I don’t wear it nearly enough. Good luck on your Adidas search!
You look so great in all of this! You definitely seem fashionable to me, and I love these types of posts. Lately I’ve been wearing nothing but shorts and tanks because it’s been so hot. Looking forward to days when I can wear boots again! By the way, that grey maxi looks amazing on you!

Aw, thank you Gretchen! I appreciate the compliments, even if I don’t agree. 😉 Shorts and tanks have been my go-to this summer too!
As much as I don’t want summer to end, your pictures have me excited for skinnies, sweaters and boots! I’m sure I’ll regret saying that come February when I’m wishing for summer 😛
I knowwww… it’s starting to get chillier at night here which makes me think Fall will be here before we know it. I love Fall and vote we just skip right over winter to get back to spring 😉
I’m all about rompers and dresses whenever it gets hot out. My summer MO = no pants. Ever. 😉

I love rompers! I need to get more of them 🙂
I love your outfits! Especially the dress. and the first two outfits, perfect for spring.
Can’t wait to live in an environment with actual seasons again.

That v-neck dress is so flattering on you! Looks very sophisticated while being summery/fun!
Thanks Emma!
I need to ask for that maxi dress from stitch fix on my next fix! I love it!
The scarves are great, as someone from Indiana I can understand the freezing cold spring!

I just wish it was longer. We have a legit 6 months of winter in MI. That just doesn’t seem necessary lol
I love that green cross body bag! Super cute!

Thanks! I forget I have it way too often. Have a great week Erin!
As a Texas girl, I feel for you calling that your Spring wardrobe. It’s definitely stuff that I would wear in the Winter(minus the dresses). It was all cute, though!
I’m loving and living in my boyfriend shorts and tanks this Summer. I am looking forward to Fall so that I can bust out my Frye boots I purchased last year. Like you, I buy clothes on a budget so these were a real treat!

Haha, I appreciate the sympathy! It has been a huge adjustment, and trust me, I miss the days of being able to sport a sun dress and flip flops all year long…. but I have appreciated being able to purchase seasonal clothing items I can wear for a good portion out of the year too. I love fall and winter accessories!
While I usually never want summer to end, I just got excited about boots again! Cute outfits 🙂

I know right? It’s a pretty great silver lining… 😉
You look so cute in all of the outfits! I always search for deals as well. It’s nice to see a blogger who dresses on a budget:) thanks for this post- I love these fashion posts:)
Thanks so much Jessie! I appreciate your feedback 🙂
Right now I’m dying for the weather to cool down here in Virginia so I can start layering again!

I’m not quite there yet… but I might get there soon. For now, I’m soaking in all of the sunshine I can!

Burk,Even though monetarist economists may have a "deeper understanding of macro-economics" it seems likely that they are still missing a full understanding of the connection that economies must ultimately have to the flows of energy. If we expand the money supply, aren't we assuming that the economy will grow accordingly? If the economy cannot grow because it cannot increase its energy consumption, what then? Could we go from zero inflation to problematic inflation quickly?
Great post. I love the outfit with the black Marshalls top and black boots.

I am loving your necklace and oversized sweater! I could see why you paired those two. It looks so good together!
Thanks Elycia!
This is an astounding article identified with the framework. I have inspected you before posts too that dependably surprise me. I know another relative site that has the comparatively stunning article as of you have in light of ballerina yoga leggings.
