saturday: running errands, etc.
Quince Poplin Blouse – M
Gap Drawstring Jeans – M
Schutz Mesh Flats – 10
Anine Bing Hat
My memory begs your pardon, because this might have been a last Friday outfit and I’m too lazy to go look at the timestamp on the photo in my phone. But it was a weekend-ish outfit, so let’s call it Saturday! Either way it works for any day of the week. In fact, I may just repeat this outfit next week…
I’ve gotten more wear out of this Quince Poplin than I ever thought I would to be honest. I bought it thinking I needed more staple pieces and boy, was I right. I would absolutely recommend this one from Quince. It’s a thicker poplin, keeps its shape and fits relaxed. I am in the medium and it runs looser, so if you are smaller up top you could go down one size. Find it here.
I love these Gap pants so much (currently wearing them as I’m typing…). They’re drawstring and they’re everything that implies — loose, easy to wear, zero tightness around your midsection. THE DREAM. I’m in the medium, find them here.
sunday: happy hour
Madewell dress – M
Similar Sweater (J.Crew)
Schutz Mesh Flats
Quince Leather Purse
This is one of the Madewell pieces I picked up on sale last week. Love the fit, the color, everything about it. It does run slightly looser if you don’t have curves. This is not an issue for me, so the medium fits great with the stretchy smocking and looser hip area. Find it 30% off for a limited time!
Monday, pickleball
athleta tee – M
lululemon align shorts – 8
amazon socks
new balance sneakers
This isn’t the flashiest of my pickleball outfits but I was about to start my period and really didn’t even feel like going. So I put on a loose top and prevailed. PS: My tee is 30% off at Athleta right now! It’s a loose fit and it’s nice to wear when it’s that time of the month because it doesn’t cling but still breathes. I wear the medium and it’s very loose.
monday, wfh / school pickup
quince cropped cardigan– L
gap wide leg jeans – M
madewell curve bag (suede option)
I wore this cardigan a few times last week, as it’s one of my favorite pieces for fall. I actually have this cardigan in a brown as well; it’s a top pick from Quince. I’d get it in a few more colors but I keep reminding myself less is more, less is more. I like the large in this cardigan because I don’t want the cropped length and I want it to be boxy. I’m not exactly sure why but I like this size for me, it’s loose and comfortable.
Another pair of Gap jeans! You’ll be seeing a theme with Gap jeans this week. I am in the 29 of this pair, fit is TTS.
Tuesday, coffee shop
quince cashmere vest – M
gap high rise barrel jeans – 30
Schutz Mesh Flats
similar madewell purse (suede option)
This outfit started with different intentions. I was going for a sweater over the shoulders combo, trying to emulate an outfit from Pinterest, but ended up just grabbing this sweater vest for ease. I tossed it on and thought ‘good enough!’ and out the door I went. I grabbed my dark brown bag just to break up the all black look and really like this vibe. I could have swapped my flats for a dark brown shoe, but it all works.
PS: these are some of my favorite flats right now. They’re a mesh flat, but they fit well and have lots of structure. The mesh is dark enough you don’t see the toes, too! They’re on sale over here at Evereve.
Wednesday, wfh
Quince cropped cardigan – L
Madewell dean relaxed jeans – 30
j.crew loafers (similar)
similar madewell purse
I told you you’d be seeing this cardigan again. This is just a no-brainer outfit for me. I LOVE these jeans from Madewell and so far have had 100% success with everything I’ve paired them with. Highly recommend and they’re on sale. Find them here.
Side note: do you find if you get ready or wear denim when you work from home you’re more productive? I 100% find this to be true for me. Denim means business. I don’t make these arbitrary rules, I just abide by them blindly.
thursday, wfh
Splendid sweatshirt – M
Vuori Joggers – L
amazon socks
new balance sneakers
Let’s laugh at the irony of me wearing denim (standing on business) one day and then soft joggers (not standing on business) the next day. This was day one of my cycle and there was no business to be standing on. It was soft pants or no pants at all. All the animals in my house voted ‘ yes to pants for human’, so here I am. Dressed but barely.
Honestly though, this outfit can get it. I was comfortable all day but still felt cute. Will repeat again.
friday, coffee shop / errands
madewell cashmere oversized tee – M
anthropologie wide leg pants – 8
Adidas sambas
similar madewell leather bag
I should mention that my sweater tee is back in stock! It’s 30% off through Monday, too. I’m in the medium, it fits loose / oversized just like on the model. This is just one of those outfit I know will work. Pants are navy here but they’re the same fit as the ones I linked above!
Also I’m trying my damndest to make these black sambas work for me. They are definitely a specific shoe and need specific looks and I’ve got to be honest — it’s random. The odds of these shoes working out are 50/50 at best. But with these pants, I know they’re a go. They also look good with the balloon drawstring jeans, just FYI. But not my easiest pair of sneakers, I’ll say that.
saturday, casual dinner date
old navy tiered top – L
j.crew bootcut jeans – 29
Similar jeans at Madewell
Vince Pia wedges
madewell tote (leather version)
This is my most “suburban Texas mom at a mid-tier restaurant on a Saturday night” outfit I could give you. I understand this is incredibly specific and niche, but let me tell you — it’s accurate. Wedge heels? Check. Fancy-ish shirt? Check. Bootcut jeans? Double check. Also my shirt isn’t fancy, it’s from Old Navy but she cute. It doesn’t matter where she’s from, it just matters where she’s going.✨

That’s what I wore this week! I hope you have a good one and I’ll see you next Friday. (well actually I’ll see you guys Monday.)
