To be honest, we were not the biggest fans of going back to school when we were growing up, as in we dreaded it! We did like getting all of our back-to-school supplies because it was so fun to pick out new stuff, but we just didn’t like the actual school part and would get so much anxiety! We did get to pick out a fun outfit every year for the first day, so we have good memories of that:)
We wanted to share some of our must haves for back-to-school, AND, if you are a student, you get a FREE 6-month trial of Amazon Prime, which is a total game changer! Check out our fave Amazon stuff HERE.
Also, if you’re in college, you can get your textbooks below! Super easy!
As far as things you may need for back-to-school, here are some great buys:
As many of y’all know we are super petite, aka 5’1″, so finding denim that fits us well can be a struggle! When we stumbled upon Express, and their amazing denim and petite options, we were in LOVE, and honestly, haven’t gone anywhere else to shop for denim since then! They have the perfect fit for any size, especially petites, which we are ALLLL about! These white high-waisted shorts are amazinggg. Not only are they super stretchy, but they hug you in all the right places and they are longer, which we love. You can actually wear them with wedges, without showing too much skin 😉 We are wearing size 00 for reference!We paired it with this ahhhdorable denim off shoulder top (wearing xs) that is just so fun. It goes perfectly with these high-waisted shorts because it is more cropped! Can we take a second and take about these wedges?! They are so comfy and they come in a cognac color and black, too! This cactus clutch is just toooo fun for summer! Perfect accessory to an easy outfit like this! We wanted to share some of our favorite denim options from Express that we love and that fit us so well, and know you all will love them as much as we do! We usually opt for the petite denim, or the 00 short sizing!
And, since we are on the topic of the perfect fit, we wanted to talk about what we think the “perfect fit” is in a relationship, and why it is so important to us, and why we think it should important to you as well ;) Obviously we both have been in relationships, and have learned so much from all of them! We know dating can be hard, and not the most fun at times, but you have to do it to figure out what you want and don’t want in a relationship. We both honestly keep our private life, well, pretty private, but this is something we want to open up about a little bit. You may think you have fun with someone and could see yourself spending a lot of time with them, but sometimes that isn’t enough. We both think the foundation for a great relationship is dating and being with someone that you’re a perfect fit with. You’re probably wondering, “Well, what does that even mean?” To us, that means being with someone that you have something in common with, and not just loving to workout and eat. Yes, those are important, but it also about values. Having common interests, sharing the same values and beliefs, similar life goals, etc. It may not seem that important in the beginning, but you will find out sooner than later, that it really is. We personally don’t believe in the theory that “opposites attract”. It may work for some people, but generally, for us, we both would prefer to be with people that are similar to us. Of course, you’re not going to be identical to your partner, but similar is what works best for us!You want to be with someone that compliments you in the best way possible. We aren’t talking about getting actual compliments from someone. We are talking about being with someone that makes you a better person, brings out the best qualities in you, and just makes you better overall. We have both been in relationships where we make that person better, and more positive all around, but we haven’t necessarily gotten that on our ends. It is important that BOTH people are getting that benefit. When you’re with the “perfect fit”, it should feel like you’re hanging out with your good friend, and it just flows. It shouldn’t feel forced at all. Of course, it is not all rainbows and sunshine, but it really should be mutually beneficial. The other person should make you want to be better, and not change yourself in any way. For example, you may dislike running, but maybe they will inspire you to get more into running and train with you (speaking from personal experience ;) ) It is not about finding someone to change you or make you better, it is all about complimenting each other and making each other a perfect fit for each of you!{ Denim Shirt | White High Waisted Shorts | Cactus Clutch | Wedges | Sunglasses | Curling Iron | Nail Color | Toe Polish | Neckace | BRACELETS: David Yurman Cable Bracelets here, here, and here and Cartier Love Bracelet | RINGS: David Yurman Ring here and here | WATCH: Michele Deco Watch }
Happy Monday! We are currently in Grand Cayman on our annual trip with our parents, and have gotten so many DMs about hotels and recommendations, so you can check those out here! We actually posted something funny in our stories about being a grandma and not going out, and got SO many of y’all saying you felt the same way, so we wanted to share some of our favorite things to do on a night in for those of y’all who are like us, and don’t love going out 😉 And by the way, it is totally okay if you just don’t like doing that (even if all of your friends like doing that.) We were usually the girls who weren’t dying to go out, and we did have our fun when we turned 21, but after that, we were kind of over it, honestly!We would go out on occasion (usually when other people wanted to), and there is nothing wrong with going out, but it isn’t for everyone! We both would usually prefer to stay in, or go for a quiet dinner somewhere! We think it honestly starts with surrounding yourself with people that may not want to go out ever single weekend. We promise there are people out there that feel the same way you do, you just have to put in the effort to look for them! We wanted to share some of our favorite things to do on a night in, but before we go into that: a little about the outfit: these ruffle booties (wearing size 6.5) are soooo cute and perfect to start wearing now with denim shorts, and then into fall with jeans! We paired them with this super cute backpack that can be worn as a purse, too, and this camo tank!And, now for our favorite things to do on a night in:
