I have jumped on the Aerie train and I'm so excited! I am the first to admit that I diligently would "dress up" for when I worked from home (prior to quarantine) but now that everyone, including my office, is wfh and dressing more casually for meetings, etc. I felt like it was okay to allow myself to follow suit. I've never considered myself to be a big "lounge wear" gal. Mainly because I live in dresses and love to hang out in maxis or mumus. So getting some cute leggings and bike shorts to pair with big t-shirts and comfy sweats has been a lot of fun! Of course, I had to get them in cute colors because I'm all about that bright life ;) I've linked what I've purchased and other cute things that are on the site right now... may have to place another order!
So by the time I linked everything in this post I already purchased more of the distressed boyfriend tees... they're probably my favorite because of the oversized look! I also got two more colors of the "Shorties" because I love them paired with the sweatshirts. Plus, they're both so comfortable and soft. Almost EVERYTHING is on sale right now too!! Killer prices :)
I can't believe September is about to be over! This month totally flew by… I tried a lot of new things and fell in love with some tried and true items! Did you have anything that became a staple this month?
Psst… keep reading to enter an awesome GIVEAWAY!
Leopard Flats // I know I preach about wearing leopard way too much but breaking out my leopard flats for commuting to work was the perfect way to get me excited about a transitioning wardrobe. I can get tired of wearing the same shoes over and over (commuter problems) but with these I never do. Moon & Lola Ring // I received this in my Rocksbox and have worn it every day since! I love to layer simple rings and stack silver and gold bands together. This ring is the perfect addition with a bit of sparkle. Sephora Sleep Mask // I'm a sucker for a good mask… the price tag and the different kinds sold me instantly. I love the pearl, green tea and lotus ones! (They are also so much fun to throw in gifts for people - who doesn't love trying new products that make you feel great?!) Ban.do Portable Charger // After attending the Landmark Festival in DC this past weekend I have fallen in love with my portable charger… again!!! Seriously, if you need one thing for when you travel or are out at night it's this little baby. I'm on snapchat (jennrog3) all the time and am constantly having cell service problems. That combo is lethal for my phone dying quickly. I've even lent it out to friends for a quick boost so they can catch an uber home! S'Well Water Bottle // Amazed. Obsessed. Unreal. I won this in a selfie contest at work (yes, seriously) and was amazed that it actually keeps liquids cold for 24 hours and warm for 12. Waking up at 4am after a long day of drinking only to discover you have ice water by your bed? Pure hangover bliss. Living Proof Perfect Hair Day // My hairdresser used to use this product all the time and I believed it was the reason my hair looked so perfect after a fresh cut and blowout. Spoiler alert: it's never as perfect but it makes my strands feel incredible and I know it's protecting against heat and humidity! Aerie Lace Bralette // Girls - big or small you'll love these bralettes. Just ask all of my roomies. For those days when you come home and can't simply take off your bra for the night… this is your solution. (Plus, I adore a little lace sticking out under a v-neck tee.)
Rebecca Minkoff Fringe Clutch (gold, large) // My only impulse buy of September. It was 50% off. It was so worth it. I want to take it everywhere.

Sometimes all you need to create an easy outfit for bowling with girlfriends is an easy tee. The rest just falls into place… A little sparkle, white pants and a chambray to throw on in case you get cold. This t-shirt has been worn on a daily basis - it's that soft. At first I thought this was just going to be a throw on and lounge shirt but it's so comfortable and I love the length that I've worn it to work under a blazer and out to drinks with jeans and heels! It was perfect to throw on to chat with some ladies while bowling at Pinstripes (all you DC people have got to go check them out - nicest bowling lanes I've ever been to!). This will not be the last time you see this shirt so I suggest you take advantage of the buy one get one 50% off deal they have going on right now!
PS. yes, technically I shot this look before Labor Day but no, I will not be putting my white jeans away. Rules were meant to be broken ;)
