I had planned to share this outfit on Wednesday, but the days completely got away from me. That seems to be my story every day this summer. My kids have kept me so busy that I rarely have an hour that isn’t interrupted by someone wanting to eat, someone needing a ride somewhere, someone wanting to eat, someone needing to be picked up, someone wanting to eat, laundry, dishes, someone wanting to eat, mowing the lawn, and food prepping because someone always want to eat.

Some days I want to scream into the kitchen sink that I simply cannot clean another pot, pan, spoon, fork, bowl, or plate. Yet, the dirty dishes just keep manifesting in the sink (because someone is always eating) and I can’t just leave them there. I mean, I can leave them there. But I don’t. Won’t. Can’t. Sometimes I do though. On very rare occasions when I give myself some grace and leave the dirty dishes until morning.

On most days, however, I just feel blessed and grateful. I embrace supporting my family in the best way that I know how…by making sure that all of their needs are met and by providing them with a loving, caring, joyful, calm environment where they can thrive. And sometimes (actually every time) that takes priority over any and all blog posts.

So let’s get on with it…

In last Friday’s episode of Adventures in Thrifting, I shared a super groovy new-to-me floral jumpsuit styled with a preloved crochet vest. I mentioned that the jumpsuit was one of three newly thrifted jumpsuits that have found their way into my closet room this summer. Just like the funky floral one, I picked this jumpsuit from the rack and put it back twice because of my inherent dislike of jumpsuits. But it kept nagging at me to try it on. So I did. And I really liked it.

Although it’s not as loose and baggy as I’d prefer, I found the cropped length appealing and the fitted top created a sleeker silhouette for adding this beautiful sheer ruana (preloved by Daenel and generously passed on to me). As much as I’ve been enjoying the brightest colors my wardrobe has to offer, sometimes I really like dark earthy tones for a more pastoral aesthetic. And the combination of black and brown has long been a favorite of mine.

This jumpsuit could be worn without an under shirt, but I decided to add a black cropped tee because my bust was busting out. And that’s not a good look, in my opinion. Even if it were a good look, it’s not very comfortable so this tiny tee came in handy. I created a column of black from head to toe with my black cowgirl hat and my black Salt Water Sandals.

The black foundation of the outfit really allowed the beautiful print on the topper to take center stage. To further draw the eye to the colors in the print, I piled on some of my favorite necklaces in the same earthy colors and added these crazy big macrame earrings that I picked up at the thrift store for $1. I freaking love these earrings so much! They are big and bold and bohemian and lightweight which is a necessity.

Going to the bathroom is still and will always be a giant hassle in a jumpsuit, but they are really cute and comfortable when not using the toilet!
