Next to the Thanksgiving + Christmas holiday weekends, I always find Memorial Day to rank in my top 3… and this year’s seemed a little extra special. It was the first time we had gotten together as an extended family (my parents + sister/BIL) in almost two and a half months, the weather was especially warm + sunny, the pool was open and ready for action, and dinner conversation was filled with those laughs that hurt the belly….
It was a summer kick-off that had both girls in bed, on Monday evening, at 6:30pm from all the excitement that filled their days. And while the summer of 2020 might not be written in the way we thought it was going to be, if it’s anything like the past several days, then the story will end more than ok.
I stumbled across this Pinterest quote several weeks ago and it pretty much sums up my hopes for the season ahead:
“I love the kind of tired that comes from a lot of fresh air a little too much sun.”
With that, I am grateful for all who gave their lives in sacrifice for our freedoms.
Here’s to a good summer of 2020 friends!

(Up and at it for a Saturday morning yoga flow… shorts, top)
(Their growing relationship makes my heart so happy)
(Finally finished this little elevated section in our backyard… broke it in with a pizza picnic…. sweatshirt, pants, sandals)
(Summer nights begin…)

I ended up adding this sports bra to my workout collection. It’s super fitted + comfortable. I wore it on my Friday morning run and it was great. I wore it with this mesh tank, which is a great option for warm weather workouts.
A few beautiful pieces of jewelry I have my eye on for this summer include this dainty anklet, tube hoop earrings, and these cross earrings.
The Everlane slip dress that I love is back in white… such a great dress for summer. They also just released this crop basic tee, racerback tank (love it in black, so chic), and this cotton linen crew looks like a beautiful lightweight option for summer evenings.
I found an identical open knit, oversized, coverup similar to the one I wore all last summer. It’s a great price as well!
If you’re looking for a good white tee a few of my favorites include: this frayed hem gauze top, white cropped tank (long enough to front tuck though), u neck tank, fitted slub tee (looks so cute completely tucked in), scoop v neck tee, and this basic tissue thin tee.
