Catching My Eye | 07.09.21

Happy Friday! I don’t know about you, but short weeks always feel extra long to me. I have a fun weekend planned celebrating a friend’s birthday, seeing a play at a farm, and packing up a storm for my upcoming move. Life has been anything by slow lately. It feels like a complete 180 from last year, and I’d be lying if I said I was handling it well. I’ve had one too many crying sessions lately, but I’m really hoping the fall can be a time of relaxation and joy as the holidays approach and my brother gets married. Anyone else feeling constantly overwhelmed with life going back to normal?

this week’s good things: Family time over the weekend was much needed, Maggie cuddles have been extra sweet, I’m deep in a good book and all I want to do is read.

Let’s get started!

I got some linen shorts from Target last week, and I knew I needed to pair it with a bodysuit. I have never liked bodysuits on me, but this one from Amazon fits like a glove. I got it in the green, but I’m waiting for the black to come back in stock.
