Happy Wednesday, babes! We have another requested topic from y’all: how we online shop on a budget. It may seem obvious to some, but there really are some good tips that we have adopted over the years. Speaking of budget, one of our favorite places to shop all thing accessories and shoes is Sole Society. We literally LOVE every single thing they have and they are so affordable. These sandals are perfect of spring and the color is so flattering!
We paired it with our favorite denim shorts (wearing size 24) and this white tank that is SO comfy! This bag is a great neutral and the strap is adjustable! Of course this pom hat is so fun. You can wear it with a regular outfit, like this one, or to the pool/beach.
And, now for our tips on shopping online on a budget:
- Shop on a budget sites:
- Shop big sales:
- Nordstrom Half Yearly Sale
- Shopbop Sale
- Black Friday/Cyber Monday
- Shop basics off-season: basically shop summer things in the fall, winter stuff in the spring, etc.
- Check “Sale”sections on websites
- we ALWAYS browse these sections. You never know what you’ll find!
- Be on the lookout for discounts:
{ Coral Bow Flats | Pom Hat | Blush Round Bag | White Tank | Denim Shorts | Earrings | Self Tanner | Curling Iron | Sunglasses | Nail Color | Lip Color | BRACELETS: David Yurman Cable Bracelets here, here, and here and Cartier Love Bracelet | RINGS: David Yurman Ring here and here | WATCH: Apple Watch 38mm}
In partnership with Sole Society.
Today, we are sharing about something we have both been struggling with for over a year now, and we have had so many of you all reach out about it, so we are going to talk about briefly in this post, and more in an upcoming podcast episode! Before we get into that topic, we want to talk about 
We paired it with some neutral accessories like 
Now, we want to get into our health struggle with Adrenal Fatigue. As you all know, we have struggled with
You’re probably wondering what Adrenal Fatigue is. Well, since we are both not doctor’s we did some of our 
Obviously, you all know that we are pretty Type-A personalities, so it is not surprise that we are suffering from this. It is frustrating, but we are glad we had some sort of answer as to why we were feeling this way. So, after doing the test with our doctor (which included blood tests, saliva tests, and a few others), we read 
In addition to the supplements, we also have been doing the following:
In addition to Adrenal Fatigue, Sam has been struggling with inflammation, which appears like it is weight gain. Honestly, it has been very tough for her, and she will probably wrote a separate post on it, but she is thinking that she has Leaky Gut. If any of you have struggled with this before, please reach out! It always helps to have a support system.
If you’re headed somewhere warm, or just want some cute bags and shoes, 
Hope you all are having a good week so far! We are sharing this super cute spring look (great for traveling if you’re headed on a trip!), and also sharing a topic that was requested: how we care for our clothes! Honestly, such a good idea. We wouldn’t have thought of it otherwise! It is so important to take care of your clothes because if you don’t, you obviously won’t be able to extend the life of them. Before we get into our tips + tricks and what our favorite items are, we wanted to highlight 
We paired them with 
For reference, we are wearing a 6.5 in the shoes, 24 short in the jeans, and XS in the cardigan!
And, now for our tips and tricks for caring for your clothes:

If you’re on the hunt for some cute spring accessories, 
Happy Monday! Hope you all had a great weekend. The sun FINALLY came out yesterday, and it was amazing. Y’all, we have literally had rain for over a week, and it was literally starting to get so depressing. We are both headed on a short little getaway together that is much needed. You all probably can tell that we usually will go on trips ( we traveled a ton last spring and summer for the blog) a lot, but the last time we took a trip that wasn’t work-related was like… never, haha. We know that sounds SO silly, but literally almost everything we do is related to work in some way or another. We are pretty burnt out, so we decided to take a mini vacay that allowed us to really slow down. We wanted to kind of open up a little about that, but before we do, we wanted to talk about this spring outfit that is just perfect and SO easy! The main star of this outfit:
We paired one of 
And, now for our main topic: honesty hour about…Instagram. We want to preface this by saying that we LOVE what we do, and are eternally grateful for all of you all, especially those of you who have been following us for a long time. If you all aren’t bloggers, you probably haven’t noticed anything funky with Instagram, and trust us, if we weren’t so immersed in the social media world, we probably wouldn’t have, either. Instagram has gotten kind of funky recently in probably the last year, specifically the last couple of months. They changed the feed so it is not chronologically in order (similar to Facebook), and now people’s posts are just kind of all over the place. It doesn’t matter what time of day you post, some of your followers will either not see the post, or it will just get “hidden” somewhere.
It can honestly be so discouraging on our ends. Obviously, our job unfortunately places a lot of weight and focus on numbers (follower amounts, likes, etc), and in turn, we kind of use those numbers to rate our “success”, if that makes sense. It sounds so silly, we know, but it is kind of the reality. Because of this new algorithm, and people’s posts not being seen, there have been opportunities for brands and influencers to purchase “likes” and followers. Of course, like any other industry, comparison is a real thing. Trust us, we have read countless articles and have tried to not get caught in the “comparison trap”, but if you’re already in a down mood, and the comparison mood crawls up on you, it i just not a good combination, haha.
Again, we want to express how grateful we are for all of you that support us and send us super sweet, encouraging messages. It truly means the world to us and makes our days and weeks! We definitely try and focus that energy on the positives, but we just wanted to be more honest about it since we feel like nobody really talks about it.
In case you have not been seeing a lot of our posts on Instagram (we did get a lot of messages from you girls saying that, in fact, you were missing a ton of our posts), if you “like” and comment something on our pictures more frequently, you should start seeing more of our posts in your feed. Some of you all told us you tried that, and it actually worked, so that is really encouraging!
In case you want to check out where these bags and shoes are from, or some similar, super cute pieces, 
It is finallyyyy the weekend! This week has felt so long for some reason, or just kind of felt “off”. Has that ever happened to you all? We are back today with a requested topic: what do if you don’t exactly love going out. We are probably a very small percentage of 20 somethings that don’t exactly like “going out”. Even in college, we would go out, but it wasn’t one of our favorite things to do. Of course, it can be hard when it seems like almost ALL of your friends and acquaintances enjoy doing that in his/her free time. 
We wanted to share some of our tips that we have used in the past (and still today) to deal with it. First off, we want to tell you all that we FULLY believe in sticking true to yourself and what you enjoy doing. It doesn’t matter if everyone else, except for you is doing that. It can be hard when you feel like you’re alone in that regard, and can be hard to not fall into peer-pressure (we have all been there).
To be honest, we can both be a little reserved, but that isn’t really the reason that we don’t particularly enjoy going out. We are just more of a “chill” type of person, and enjoy going out to dinner or a movie, or just hanging in with friends or family.
Now, about this outfit: 
We are back today with a fun post for y’all that we had a few requests for! We are sharing some tips of what we would recommend to wear on a date! It can be so hard to figure out what to wear, especially when you don’t know them that well (or it is a first date!). An outfit like this one is simple, but cute! Plus, it shows off your cute booty;) We paired 
This exact sweater is sold out, but we found
This clutch is super fun for spring, and it even has a really cute little tassel zipper keychain. So fun for a little getaway!
We wanted to give you all some other date night outfit ideas, too!
