Fashion Friday: Edition I almost missed this entirely

June 15, 2018 ·

Happy Friday!

Here’s the problem with summer. I totally lost track of my days this week and only realized it was Thursday around 8:00 p.m. and so this edition of Fashion Friday almost didn’t happen. I mean technically I knew it was Thursday but I guess I just didn’t process it.

Anyway, before we get to the fashion portion of today, I wanted to share a quick deal that’s going on right now for my Church of The Small Things Bible study. (Not to be confused with the Church of the Small Things book which is an entirely different thing and is just $3.99 right now on Amazon. You can find that deal here. Edited to add: Sorry! Apparently that deal ended but it’s still just $11.24!)

And here’s the video trailer where I talk a little bit about the study and what it’s about.

If you’ve ever wondered if your life really matters, then this is for you. If you or your small group want to do the Church of the Small Things study, Church Source is currently offering the kit at an additional 18% when you use code SAVE18 now thru 6/27! That means you get the DVDs for all six video sessions along with a study guide for just $21. You can click here to order.

Now here are some cute things I found this week:

1. floral embroidered tie neck dress

I love a dress for summer. And I realize this one is white, but it is so cute and I love that embroidered detail. It’s normally $89.50 but it’s 40% off everything at Loft with the code NEWNOW at checkout.

And make sure you look around because they have a bunch of great pieces right now.

2. j.crew denim jacket

I have three denim jackets in my closet right now which is the only reason I’m not ordering this one. It’s on sale for $49.50 and it’s the perfect shade of denim. Truth be told, I really like it better than any of the ones I have in my closet and I’m having to talk myself down from ordering it.

I just think a good denim jacket is a classic piece that goes with just about everything.

3. camo clare tee

I am totally ordering this tee. My friend Leslie texted me about it because it’s Free People and just $38 which never happens at Free People. It also comes in black or pink pattern.

4. j.crew chambray shirt

A good chambray shirt is a staple. You can wear it with everything from shorts to jeans to a skirt. You can wear it open over a tank top or sundress. You can tie it in a knot at your waist. This one is on sale for $27.50.

5. gap wearlight true skinny midrise jeans

And while we’re on the subject of light denim, I am really wanting a pair of light wash jeans. I think they’re like the gray jean of summer…different than white, but still a lighter look. These are on sale for $56 with an additional 10% with code GETMORE at checkout.

6. starboy vintage top

I would wear this top all year round but it would be especially cute for the 4th of July. It’s $36.

7. superga gingham sneakers

I adore these gingham sneakers and they are on sale for $49.99 right now.

8. treasure and bond hoop ellipse earrings

I am a gold hoop kind of girl. I just like a good gold hoop option, but sometimes it’s nice to have something just a little less basic. I love the shape of these. They are $35 and also come in silver.

9. leith maxi cover up dress

I have several coverup options, but the one I go to the most is really similar to this because it covers everything and it’s comfortable and easy to throw on. This is on sale for $29.40 and also comes in a dark gray.

10. fluted sleeve knot hem kimono

This is just $12. I think ordering from Shein is hit or miss, but I’ve had good luck with their kimono type things because they are usually one size fits all. This would look so cute with just a simple t-shirt under it with a pair of denim shorts. Or over all white.

That’s it for today.

Have a good Friday.

And Happy Father’s Day to all the dads who probably aren’t reading this unless you’re my dad.

    Hi!
    I clicked the link and even searched the book and I don’t see where it is 3.99. It says 9.20 and 8.99 for kindle. I own all your books and love them! I would love to do this bible study with a few girlfriends!

Who is Melanie?

Melanie ShankleMy name is Melanie and, in some strange twist of fate, I’m also known as Big Mama because I started this blog in July of 2006 when my daughter, Caroline, was not quite three years old and I was in the process of convincing her that BIG girls use the potty and BIG girls don’t have pacifiers, thus she thought BIG was the highest compliment in the land and began referring to me as BIG MAMA.Read More

The other night Caroline said to P, "You know what mom does a lot more often than you'd think? Watches animal videos that aren't even that funny and dies laughing." Yes. Yes I do.
