Eyelet Loft Tee + $14 Scalloped Shorts!!

We are back from our anniversary weekend!  Our 2nd wedding anniversary (PS: here is my first ever blog post on our wedding!!) is actually tomorrow (7-11), but we went to Lake Geneva, WI, this past weekend.  I have to share the easiest/comfiest but still cutest travel outfit I wore on our drive and during our first walks around LG! This is especially exciting because these shorts are $14!!!!!! Hellooooooo!  Use code: heatwave for 40% off the $24! (Heck, even without the discount the price is right!). 

^^ we stayed really close to The Cove, which is where my bachelorette party was held 2 years ago! Haha! All I could think about was our unforgettable boat ride with Igor. LOL. All my gfs who could make it surely remember that adventure. SO much fun. Had to snap a pic out front! 

My bag is old Kate Spade, but the size/crossbody nature of it is just right. 
Here is a similar one I am digging (I like all three colors!).






This shirt! I got it 50% off a week and a half ago-- so wait patiently for a sale. 
Sign up for the Loft emails to get the alerts on the deals. I never, ever, ever pay full price for anything at Loft! Sizing note: it did run big! I have an XS on. In J. Crew, Lilly, Banana, etc., I typically wear a small! 


I love this striped version of the shirt: 


This is another perfect-sized cross body.
I always have a million things in my bag, so a small bag just doesn't work for me! 
Plus. this is under $80!




These black scalloped shorts are my all-time favorite. 
They're TTS, and I am in a size 6.
There are a few different colors, too! I love the black because you can dress them up or down so easily.





More eyelet-hem tees:





^^Happy almost 2 year anniversary, my love! 

Some pics of the inside of our hotel, The Maxwell Mansion! Isn't the ceiling gorgeous!?

Hot tub in room! All the decor/details were made to resemble the history of the mansion. I will have much more to come on where we stayed, but it was incredible. It was the first mansion ever in Lake Geneva, built in 1856! There was even a speakeasy in the basement, and it was luckily open on Friday.  You needed a password to get in, just like in the prohibition era. 


My current favorite eyelet dresses from Loft: 

- These are the cutest scalloped/eyelet shorts! 

- Love the eyelet on the sleeves of this top! The yellow is my fave!

Have you ever been to Lake Geneva, WI?

    1. Thank you so much, Kelly! You are so sweet!! I totally agree that I could double that up for teaching. My school's colors are blue/white, so I could make this a dress down with jeans look!!! :):) For Fridays! Thanks so much for your sweet comments about our wedding. You made my day!
