I've been looking for new work shirts and blouses that cover up my new scar on my chest. I didn't realize that the majority of my shirts show my chest--without showing any cleavage since I'm a teacher. I'm a pretty frumpy person as it is, but having to find shirts that cover my to collarbone is a bit frustrating.
I did get one of these, but it's solid royal blue.

that's cute, chloe! I have something similar, also in royal blue.
I picked up a couple tops at Old Navy earlier this summer, same fabric and patterns, similar cut to the dresses I love. but these are sleeveless long tank tops that are a higher neckline than a typical tank. you could layer something like that under a cardigan or blazer pretty easily. I think I paid $10?
ETA: bandannas - mine don't love them, but will humor me after they get a bath or go to the groomers. since the golden's already dunked in the kiddie pool and I intend to let them off leash in the ocean a little later on, they will be getting baths today. I think they don't love them b/c they aren't used to having stuff on their necks all the time. they don't wear collars unless we are going somewhere. we had a choke scare when they got stuck not long after LD came home, and I'm not having that again. the collars they do wear are breakaways.

Love the hoodies, perfect for someone who lives near the beach. The striped one's my favorite, I think.

Chloe, I was thinking of tanktops, too, or lightweight t-shirts in some cute colors and patterns underneath some of the things you already have. Target has lots of cute ones and run them on sale frequently. I'm sure they aren't intended to last forever. But I can get 2-3 years out of them and wear them frequently.

the neckline is a smidge higher than I'd like for the striped one, but I'll live. the other one though.....I never understood the need for a tshirt weight hoodie until I moved to the beach. when you've got a sunburn going for a few straight days on the beach, that is the perfect weight for the fire pit after sundown. that right there is what I'm going to miss when I leave this place. (not any time soon...)

I don't usually shop at Victoria's Secret, but I saw an ad this morning and they have 10/$35 on undies. Black and medium sizes still available! I threw 16 in my cart and was going to go pare them down to 10, but they were all priced at $3.50 and I found a free shipping code for orders over $50. SHIP50. Should be set for awhile.

Any recommendations for a lipstick that isn't drying?

For bullet lipstick, Colourpop! It's my fave matte bullet. If you want a matte liquid, go with Morphe.
If high shine is what you want, Wet N Wild is where it's at for both.
I may have a bit of a makeup problem.

Thanks! I just picked up a couple Lippie Stix. They were super picked over so I didn't get to test all the shades, but at $6 each I figure I can always go back later if I'm not molting tomorrow.

Also get some really good lip balm. Something super moisturizing. Vaseline makes some that look like a tiny tub of the regular stuff. I've also heard that Laneige (sp?) is really good you're also going to need a lip scrub which you can find just about anywhere. You could even make some with vaseline and some sugar if need be. Scrub your lips a few times a week to start and then as needed after. You need to exfoliate and moisturize your lips just as much as you would your face.

Chloe, I love how you are starting to dare to step out of your comfort zone and try new things. Seriously! You bought lipstick, now you’re wearing 3 colors at once (and perhaps i’ve missed something in between? I hope so!)..... I love it! Go Chloe!

I may have a bit of a makeup problem. I do not understand the words coming out of your mouth. The bullet lipstick is the one in the tube that you roll up and down. Liquid is in a tube, but it has a doe foot applicator like concealer does. Matte lipstick has no shine whereas high shine obviously does.

Thinking about springing for laser hair removal for my lower legs. There's a Groupon + 20% off today. That leg hair makes me feel like a furrilla.
There's also a Groupon for an IPL photofacial. Has anyone done that, or know about it?

Bought new dark wash jeggings to replace my old pair that are starting to wear out.
Super happy with them. They remind me of a pair of jeans I had in college that made my butt look fantastic.😘
Also got a pair of slim boot cut since it was buy one get one 50% off. I decided to get them in a lighter wash so I have options.

I like mixing patterns. Some have worked better than others😳. It's been a good way to get more mileage out of my wardrobe.
My favorite go to is my leopard print boots with my plaid blazer. Accessories are a great gateway to pattern
