My summer haul

So THIS is what I've been up to these past few months (aside from building a family tree for Larry and me on ancestry.com, where I've taken us back on both sides of the family to the 1500's!  That has been so much fun.  I've found out some really cool things about our families!  But that's a whole 'nother blog post.)

Yes, I've been bored but I didn't buy one thing that I can't and won't use and haven't worn or used.  I love everything I've gotten!

Let's start with Amazon, shall we??

Cute little lemon yellow sundress

One of my two bathing suits (I don't look like THAT in it, obviously, but Larry let out a whistle when I tried it on and that's ALL that counts)

THE most comfy pajamas ever!  I bought another pair in the pink and yellow tie dye but they're too big.  I sized down one and this set was perfect!

Drybar Prep Rally detangler.  I really like this stuff!  I don't use conditioner in the summer but I still need something light to spray on and detangle.  This does the trick!

Lilly Pulitzer market bag

Cat eye heart sunglasses.  Squeeeee!

I found these all on my own.  I needed a sticky bra for all these cute summer clothes and these work great!  And it looks like a bunny rabbit!

This stuff has changed my makeup game!

On to Target...

These shorts are AMAZING!!!  I got them in both the medium and dark wash.  They are sooooo comfortable!!  And stretchy.  And they're on sale this week!

I have a couple of these spaghetti strap tops.  Larry got me this one for my birthday.  Cute as a button!

And I got this one the other day when I was in there.

This dress is THE summer dress!!  It just came out last week and it sold out in stores in two days and today, it's not online so I'm guessing it completely sold out.  It's a baby doll style, leopard print (obsessed!) and it is so super soft and comfortable.  I wore mine to church last Sunday.  Soooo comfy.

Larry got me this sweet little dress for my birthday, too.  LOVE my t-shirt dresses!

I ordered this one online.  And the camo one.  In love!!  They're identical in style, just two different colors.

At Walmart, I got this adorable blue bathing suit and skort to wear as a cover.

I got this gray t-shirt dress, too.

I picked up three of these vintage cotton v-neck tees from J. Crew in the spring.  I got them 3 for $30 (on sale!  They're $30 EACH usually, um, hell no) and I love the fit and how they look and all but the gray one has holes at the bottom so now it gets slept in.  I got white, gray and pink.  I hope the other two hold up better.  The gray was my favorite!

Before I heard about Nordstrom's BIG Anniversary Sale, I got these super cute sunglasses.  I LOVE them.  I wear 'em every Wednesday when I go to the doctor.  That's the extent of my gettin' out.  Ha!

So that's my haul.  Most of it, anyway.  I've gotten shampoo and makeup, jewelry, bras and panties and stuff like that, too.  Just livin' my best life, shopping and collecting boxes and bags off the porch.

I gotta get back to work.

What I bought at the BIG Nordstrom Anniversary Sale!

Y'all.  I need to go back to work.  Like, this afternoon.  I have spent all spring and summer following a bunch of influencers on Instagram and they have talked me into all sorts of trouble purchases.

My go-to for summer lounging clothes has been Target and Walmart.  They've had THE cutest t-shirt dresses this year!  I know 'cause I have FIVE now.  Plus sunglasses, hair care, skin care, pjs, shorts, summer tops and bathing suits, omg, I have bought TWO new bathing suits.

Because we ARE going to the beach.  Eventually.  They cute, too.  I'll have to do another blog about my summer haul!  That's what they call it.  A haul.  I'm a Hall, too, so I'm just over here living my TRUTH.  

But the BIG Nordstrom Anniversary Sale???  You ain't an influencer if you don't cover Nordstrom's summer sale!!  First time I've EVER heard of it.  It actually starts today for everybody, you don't even have to be a cardholder.  Well, I didn't wait for today.  I got me a card!  Two weeks ago.  Shhhh.  And for my trouble me becoming a new customer, they gave me $40 to spend.  And spend it I did.

This is what I got!

Halogen V-Neck Tunic Tee 

It's a super-soft modal knit that is a little longer in the back to cover you if you were amply blessed in that area.  And I was.  It's sold out now, though.

Ab-solution Ripped High-Waist Ankle Skinny Jeans 

These jeans are LIFE!!  They are sooooo comfortable and nice and stretchy, just how I like jeans.  And I don't look like a busted can of biscuits in them.  Yay!  They are regularly $88 (I'D NEVER PAY THAT), on sale for $58 and they are in stock.  I used my $40 Nordstrom bonus for these and got 'em for $18.  That's what I'm talking 'bout! 

Benassi JDI Slide Sandal by Nike

I'm trying to get back into the whole wearing-shoes thing.  These are great!  I got the white and metallic bronze ones.

BP Cozy Joggers

These here things are my FAVORITE!!!  They're sold out in the leopard (another obsession I've got lately!) but they still have them in dark and light gray.  Oh my goodness, I can't even say enough about these pants.  They're so soft and so cozy and I cannot even wait for that first crisp fall Saturday that Larry and I get up, grab coffee and hit an estate sale!  I'll be wearing these babies ON THAT DAY.  I love 'em!!

And last but not least, the Kennebunk Bliss Plush Throw, like we needed another throw blanket but hey, I'll give one away to make room for this one!  It had great reviews and they had a pink one.  Meant to be!  It's always cold in the theater and this 50x60 throw will be perfect for that.  Or napping.  Or watching tv in my recliner.  Or wrapping Tabbie Hoffman up in just to piss him off.  We NEEDED it.

So that's what I got at my very first Nordstrom Anniversary Sale.  I have a feeling it'll be a summer occurence from now on.  It was fun and the prices were incredible.  And the best part??  I got to do it in my t-shirt dress, in the A/C, didn't have to fight the crowds or drive around for thirty minutes looking for a parking spot.  The perfect sale!

Weekend three

 

So hard to believe this is our third weekend together.  Yesterday we went shopping at the mall here, had Chick-fil-A for lunch, popped in to Bath and Body Works and Victoria's Secret but didn't stay very long at either place because they were having their semi-annual sales and were soooo busy!  We bought some really cool albums at f.y.e, Janis Joplin and Crosby Stills and Nash and I got a Michonne bobblehead!  She's my favorite Walking Dead character and I just love her bobblehead.  I think she looks awesome on our coffee table.  :)


 


Larry even rode the Garfield car!  Well, not really.  But he tried.  He could barely get his legs to fit.  :)

Last night, we went to our pastor's house for a couples night.  There was us and three other couples.  We had Mexican -- tacos, guacamole, salsa, cheese dip and chips, sliced apples and dip and just had a really, really good time.  We played games, too.  Heads Up and Battle of The Sexes, which was downright hilarious.  We laughed so much our cheeks hurt.  We played girls against boys and the girls won!  The guys cheated SO BAD that I was starting to feel sorry for them.  Ha!  It was really sad.  :)

Today we attended church at Trinity United Methodist, trying to make our rounds to all the churches who supported us and prayed with us throughout our long, long journey.  We have quite a number of churches to visit!  The one furthest away is in Canton.  We'll make that one a weekend trip, I'm sure.

Tonight, we're watching movies and having chips and salsa and cheese dip.  We didn't quite get enough at the party last night!  It's supposed to be c-c-c-c-cold here the next few days so we picked up some starter logs for the fireplace today.

Life is good.  Still SO good.
