How is it Monday again?? This weekend F L E W by. My best friend came down to visit and it was absolutely wonderful. We celebrated my birthday early by going to see one of our favorite humans ever, Glennon Doyle Melton. If you have no idea who she is, check out her book here. It’ll change your life. (Or, at least the way you look at your life.) OK, so let’s talk summer style, shall we? I’m usually not into festive outfits. I don’t like when something feels too costumey. So when I saw a red banana in the store last month, I knew it would be a perfect way to incorporate some 4th of July fun into my look, without being too cheesy.
And can I just say: I LOVE that bandanas are back in. I used to wear one all the time in college (no really, it was cool).
I found this white tee on one of my random weekly Target runs. It fits well and is less than $10. I’m always on the search for the perfect tee, and this one is pretty close…
Distressed denim is and always will be very close to my heart. (I love fashion. Just go with it.) The pair I’m wearing is from last year, but I’ve linked some of my picks below.
As always, thanks for stopping by.
Here’s to a week filled with gratitude + kindness…

This is just too darn cute! What a what a fabulous look for the 4th of July. I love the classic clean look of a white top over denim. And the bandana adds a sweet touch. Many good wishes to you and your family for a wonderful 3-day weekend. 🙂
