As you may recall, we spent a week in Ocean City, NJ with some of my husband’s family. It’s always a good time, and we had a beautiful rental property this year, which made it even more enjoyable.

We booked through Tara Cruser-Moss at Berger Realty, and she found us the perfect place. It was in our desired location, there was plenty of room to spread out, it was clean and new, and the decor was lovely. If you’re looking at Jersey shore rentals, I highly recommend reaching out to her.

But this is not a travel post! This is about my daily outfits, so let’s jump right in with this casual look. This was only day I did not go down to the beach. It was the day the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Online Preview dropped, so I worked all day at the house.

This matching set is comfortable, and I like how it looks like a romper.

The next day was the 4th of July, so I dressed in red, white & blue to go to the beach for the day.

And then I put this on after showering and getting ready for the evening. The plan was to go to the boardwalk and watch fireworks, but I never made it. Long story, but I looked festive, anyway!

This was the only day during the whole week that I actually got a decent picture of my outfit… if you can call this an outfit. Paul just took this on my iPhone on the Portrait mode.

Actually, that’s not entirely true. We did the photo shoot for Talbots, and then I wore that outfit out to breakfast, so there’s that!

Here’s that breakfast outfit. It’s hard to see here, but this dress is a lightweight slub knit fabric, and it has a pretty detail around the neck. There are better pictures in this post.

And then there are just a few more outfits from the week… I put this on after breakfast to go to the beach.

And then that afternoon, after showering off, I wore this basic white tank and denim shorts outfit.

Simple black and white… this linen tee is from last year.

I don’t know why I brought two pairs of white shorts for the week…

This was an early morning run to the grocery store, before it got hot. I thought I’d wear this sweatshirt more in the evenings, but it didn’t really cool down much, and it was verrrrrry humid. I also wore this the day we drove home. In fact, I think this picture is from that day.

Okay, back at home! I wore this casual dress to church.

And I wore this casual look to get together with friends that night. I love the stripe tank. The colors are so pretty, and they look great with blue jeans.

It said the model was wearing the small, so I ordered a medium, but I with I’d tried the small because this felt a little big around the arms. I ran it through the washer and dryer, so I’m interested to see if it fits better.

I don’t think I did much with myself that Monday, but on Tuesday I got all gussied up to go shop the #NSale! This Frame silk tee is old, but Quince has something similar.

I had a photo shoot the next day, and this is what I threw on afterwards to go to a doctor appointment and then back home to work.

As soon as I saw it, I KNEW I had to buy this tee!!!

I wore this on another day at home. Everything is pretty much sold out except the shorts, which I’ve linked a gazillion times.

And then we went out last Saturday night to see our daughter and some of her friends play in a band. I first pulled on this outfit, which I love.

But then I thought it might be a bit much for the venue, so I changed into straight ankle jeans and flat sandals, and I was glad I did. I felt more comfortable in this version of the look.

I was running late for church the next day, so I threw on this old outfit, but I don’t like it very much. This top was one of my favorites last year, but it feels schlumpy to me these days. Also, I decided that I like it better paired with black jeans.

I wore this comfy outfit to visit my chiropractor and then to get a mani/pedi on Monday.

I had an appointment that night, so I threw on my new Ciao tee and jeans.

First, I grabbed the MOTHER Dazzlers that I bought from this year’s #NSale. As you may recall, I sized up to the 30 in these, but now I’m wishing I hadn’t. They look good in this picture, but as I moved around, they felt heavy and a little too roomy, like they were sliding down. I also took a look at the back view (no time for a photo) and the rear pockets definitely look low and saggy.

By way of comparison, I pulled out my old MOTHER Dazzlers in the size 29. They felt so much more comfortable, and while they may look more like a skinny than a slim straight leg jean, I do believe this is the right size.

These fit much better though the rear, too. I just wish they weren’t quite so snug in the waist, but that’s just the reality in this perimenopausal season of life, I guess! When I get back from Italy, I’m making it a serious goal to cut carbs and get more movement in my days.

Okay, finally, this is yesterday’s outfit. Yes, the same Ciao tee! I got together with friends last night, and I knew they’d get a kick out of it.

You can also probably tell that I got my roots touched up yesterday. My hair dresser always flat irons my hair. I also got a spray tan yesterday morning, and I hadn’t yet showered off the bronzer.

Alrighty! That’s it for this edition of What I Wore Lately. The next one will be all about what I wore in Italy!
