Fashion Friday: Edition the last one of 2022

December 30, 2022 ·

I have spent this week between Christmas and New Year’s with hardly a passing awareness of what day it is or what a vegetable looks like. And I have to say I don’t hate it. But it’s probably good that 2023 starts on Sunday and I’ll need to rejoin the real world.

Here are some cute things I found this week and, yes, some of them are kind of Valentine’s Day adjacent so I’m essentially like Target. Christmas is over and it’s time for the next holiday.

1. flannel big shirt

I bought this shirt in a different color pattern earlier this fall and it has been a favorite. I wear it with jeans and I wear it with leggings. I’ve even worn in with pajama pants.

It’s on sale for $34 but an extra 30% with code THIRTY. It is still available in several color options.

2. Lululemon cinchable fleece zip up

This is the cutest, warmest jacket and it’s on sale for $99 along with tons of other cute things at Lululemon.

3. Maeve oversized shirt

Speaking of oversized shirts, this appears to be a good one. Anthropologie has started releasing some of their new things for spring and this shirt is one of those things. The oversized shirt is a wardrobe hero for me.

It’s $98 and comes in a ton of color options.

4. dolce vita halina booties

These booties are super similar to the ones I bought earlier this fall and have loved. I feel like they have become a wardrobe staple for me. I wear them with my flare jeans, my straight leg jeans and cuffed boyfriend jeans. I’ve even worn them with skirts and dresses.

These are on sale for $99. They also come in black

5. mystical mosaics dress

I have loved this dress since I first saw it this summer and now it’s on sale for $139.99 but an additional 50% off at checkout. It comes in two other color options and it’s just so pretty.

6. kit camp shirt

This is a really pretty shirt that would be great for spring and summer. It’s on sale for $79.99 but an additional 50% off at checkout.

7. hampshire plaid jacket

Basically I would like one of everything included in the Sundance sale. This is such a great jacket.

It’s on sale for $159.99 but an additional 50% off at checkout. It also comes in another color.

8. striped knit pajama set

I love J.Crew pajamas and these are super cute.

They’re on sale for $44.50.

9. printed button up shirt

I think this is so cute.

It’s on sale for $34.50.

10. maronie gauze overalls

This is the kind of thing that I just love. I cannot resist a wide leg overall type thing.

These are $79.

That’s it for today.

Have a good Friday.

And Happy New Year!

    Ha! I bought those J.Crew PJs and embroidered heart button down just yesterday! Now currently trying to convince myself that I don’t need that Lulu fleece zip-up. 🙂

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

It was an Aggie football season I’ll never forge It was an Aggie football season I’ll never forget for so many reasons…some of them bad, but mostly so much good⁣
⁣
Sometimes it takes a less than stellar season on the field to highlight the things I really love about football season are the people, being with old friends, making new friends, the memories and everything that Texas A&M embodies⁣. There’s a quote Aggies love that says, “From the outside looking in, you don’t understand it. From the inside looking out, you can’t explain it.” Texas A&M is a magical place.
⁣
Also, ending the season by beating the hell outta LSU didn’t hurt. Thanks and Gig’em.
