A Few Fall Essentials

I honestly can’t believe it’s already time to say goodbye to summer 2020. Although this year has felt like one insane shit storm after another, summer was still enjoyable here. I got a lot of extra time with Mac, not being able to travel as much, and we spent time together as a family. Family time has honestly been the saving grace to 2020. If it weren’t for our loved ones and closest friends, I think we all might be needing therapy sessions on top of a bottle of wine per night.

That being said, you guys know I’m a sucker for fall. Like everyone else, I love the cooler air, the apple orchard and pumpkin patch smells, the sweatshirt weather and fire pit nights. There is truly something magical about fall.

So I thought I’d share a few fall outfit essentials with you guys today, that I recently received from SheIn. Each piece is different from the next, but totally on trend for fall. While it is definitely still hot here, I’ve decided to style these pieces for our current weather. All can easily be transitioned when the true fall season hits.

Weekend Style 8.30.20

This past weekend was full of lots of exciting events, especially because it was our 4th wedding anniversary on Thursday. Due to our schedules, we delayed celebrating until Saturday. I decided I should share a little *WEEKEND STYLE UPDATE* with y’all, because the outfits and vibe are worth talking about.

WEARING THE RUFFLE HEM POLKA DOT DRESS FROM SHEIN ($21)

If you follow me on Instagram (@lexwhatwear) you’ve probably already seen the following looks, but for good measure, I’m posting them here too. Thursday and Friday were both quiet nights in, drinking a little wine and celebrating with our little family. Saturday we visited with some friends before packing up and heading to Bowling Green to spend the day with Evan’s parents. That evening, my in-laws watched Mac while Evan and I went out to dinner. An actual date? Yep, it was an actual, out on the town date night, wearing masks of course.

COLORBLOCK TARTAN BLOUSE $21!

We wined and dined at Hickory & Oak in Bowling Green, and it was some of the best food I’ve had in a while. We had a nice bottle of Cab, half a dozen oysters (yum), and steaks of our choosing. We couldn’t leave without getting a side of their brussels and pom frites. Everything was so delicious, we had zero room left for dessert.

We woke up on the farm on Sunday and the guys played golf. Mom got to sleep in a little :) so that was lovely. We hung out for lunch and headed back home for a rainy photo shoot Sunday evening. After our scheduled engagement session was rained out, we came home, ate some pho and hit the sack.

All in all, it was a wonderful and stylish weekend together. I loved every minute of it with my husband and little guy. Thanks for reading (or scrolling), and CHEERS to a great week full of more stylish moments!

Kentucky Derby Ready!

This feels beyond bizarre to be typing this post on the first day of September. 2020 is WEIRD. Naturally I feel a bit removed from the Derby this year, unlike any other year before. It has felt strange to prepare any sort of content like I normally do, because of the timing. That being said, I will (hopefully) be back with Brad’s Bets at the end of the week, and more information on the prestigious horses running for the infamous roses. Today I wanted to share a Kentucky Derby ready look with Mac on my hip.

I received this gorgeous Radley London handbag, and immediately knew the color pallet I would be going for. Although it is September, I feel like this soft pink is still doable. The lace long sleeve dress is the perfect choice for this Radley London piece, and I’m adding a simple heeled sandal to complete the outfit. Mac is wearing his original Kentucky Derby look, because it still fits, and it is beyond ADORABLE for the big race.

So whether or not you feel totally out of the loop about the 2020 Kentucky Derby like me, we are going to fix that starting today. Get your mint julep recipes ready y’all. It’s going to be a one-of-a-kind Kentucky Derby.

Two SHEIN Vacation Looks

We’re back from a little family vacation, and I’m desperately trying to get in the swing of things. To start, I thought I’d share two SHEIN vacation looks that were an absolute hit on my Instagram page.

We initially planned to be at Disney World and the beach for vacation, but due to Coronavirus, we ended up in Columbus, OH visiting my brother and his family at their home. It was just as wonderful, being with our sweet nephews and my mom.

I still packed all of our beach vacation clothes, because why not? We dressed Mac in all of his summer and tropical outfits, too. These two SHEIN looks are perfect for summer, and I could live in either of these outfits. This black romper will for sure be on repeat, and how could you not love a flowy, maxi dress?

Hang with me as we adjust to real-life again after several days OOO. Cheers, and happy Monday friends!
