fashion files and a day date with myself

 

Happy Tuesday, friends! I'm linking up with Amy for the weekly Fashion Files and Joanne for Tuesday Talk. I'll jump right in!

I wore this out Sunday for errands; black leggings, these new Croc flip flops with my pedicure showing off, and a denim top. I changed into white sneakers at some point, because though these are very comfortable, I need a little more support.

This was for Pinktoberfest last Friday at school.

I loved this outfit! Denim dress, new Amazon cardigan, faithful sneakers.

This was Unity day at work, and we wore orange to spread kindness. My sweatshirt says, "Happy to see your face!"

Favorite outfit of the week! Brown leggings, new denim shirt/jacket from Old Navy.

I liked this outfit, too; it's an old boutique top and pants from Marshall's. 

Do you have a favorite? I'd love to hear your input. 

And now for the second part of today's blog post...

I had the very best day Sunday! I took myself out on all day date with me, myself, and I. I'll show you what I did! 

First, I overslept because I was out so late the night before, and I missed church. Again. It's okay! I enjoyed the extra sleep and time spent being comfy drinking coffee. I even had more than one cup! I had made plans with Mom and Bill to meet for lunch after church; I took a quick shower, got dressed, and left here at 11:30 to grab a table for us at our favorite Mexican restaurant, La Perla Tapatia. 

Chloe had some things to say on my blog, apparently!

After lunch (I had chicken tortilla soup), I went to Marshall's. I'm in need of some tops for work and life in general. I walked around the whole store and didn't buy anything. I left there and headed into the next town, Germantown, to visit a really cute coffee shop called JoJo's.  

On the way there, my friend Karen from work just so happened to text me, and I asked her if she wanted to meet me there! She did, so that was super fun. 

It was decorated beautifully for fall! I had a delicious brown butter oat frozen latte. I don't often buy coffee shop coffee, but this one was worth every penny! We enjoyed talking for as long as our drinks lasted, then we decided to walk across the way to Buff City Soap. I splurged on some fancy laundry detergent, and I have zero regrets. I also bought some soap, body butter, shower gel, and a body spray.

This is such a cute little area! They call this Thornwood. 

We parted ways, then I drove back toward Collierville and decided to visit the library for some fall books.

Score! After that I went to see a friend for about half an hour, then came home to settle in for the night. I made a giant pot of taco soup and took a long, hot shower.

I ate some soup after my shower, then watched TV, talked on the phone, and had my quiet time before going upstairs to lay down at 8:30. I read for a little while in bed and then scrolled some, and fell fast asleep before long. It was an amazing day! I don't often do things like that, but I was gone from 11:30 until almost 6. 

I'm open to your suggestions for my next day date with myself! Thanks for reading here today, friends. Love to all!
