What to Wear in August + Currently Crushing On

What a weekend, y’all!  I started working on a fun, new project that I’ll be telling you all about in a few weeks, relaxed with the fam for a bit, and did some work on the back end of WNW.  {Not always fun, but always necessary.}  Today’s post is definitely more on the laidback side, but a quick look at what I’ve been wearing lately & what I’m currently crushing on!

Here’s what I’ve been working on recently: My August campaign to fundraise for Blessings in a Backpack!  We hit the halfway mark {$250 raised} this weekend so thank you SO much to everyone that’s donated or shared so far.  All big and small donations are appreciated and can be made here!  It’s so cool to see how many people have donated; I love knowing that my readers and followers are just as passionate about making a difference in our communities

ALSO if you love Kendra Scott, tomorrow evening I’m hosting a Kendra Gives Back birthday party from 6-8PM at Oxmoor Center; we’ll have cake, wine, and 20% of your purchase goes to Blessings in a Backpack.  The store is being SO awesome and also accepting phone orders during this window with free shipping! Their number is (502) 221-3056.

What to Wear in August + Currently Crushing On | Currently Watching

Watching: Ingobernable on Netflix! I started this series the other night and ended up staying up way too late to watch the first 3 episodes.  The second season is being released next month.  {Also watched the Keeping Up with the Kardashians premiere last night because I’m very committed, but this is the first season of the Bachelorette/Bachelor that I’ve ever watched. I can’t help but read spoilers, but I’m still excited to watch the finale tonight.  If you’re watching come tweet with me!}

What to Wear in August + Currently Crushing On | Eating & Thinking

• Snacking on: Teeny Tiny Avocados from Trader Joe’s with cherry tomatoes and balsamic glaze.  {Also loving the chocolate cover strawberries from TJs! Sharing some of the items on my TJ’s list here!}
• Thinking About/Meditating on: Honestly, a lot of thinking about being Type A, perfectionist expectations versus living in reality, and knowing when to close a door.  I’m still living in this but hoping to eventually have a longer blog post about it soonish!
