It was really hard to not fill this entire post with Beyonce lemonade quotes, but I have somehow resisted the urge. I hope you guys had a great weekend!! My weekend was such a blast. Many of you guys who follow me on Snapchat (@mnmurphy1223) know that I started a new summer job since it’s summer vacation, and it’s been a little bit overwhelming and stressful. Luckily, I had Friday and Saturday off, and Geoff’s brother was also visiting for the weekend. We had a beach day on Friday, went out for drinks, and then on Saturday, we were able to spend time with Geoff’s family, had a really nice dinner at Row 34 (highly recommend) and a fun night out. I haven’t been out in such a long time, and it was great to just kick back and enjoy some drinks with good people.
I recently received this lemon-printed, off the shoulder top and I have to say that I’m absolutely obsessed. If you haven’t heard of SheIn (or She Inside), it’s an online retailer that specializes in trendy, inexpensive items. She Inside has extremely affordable options, with the quality being similar to Forever 21’s items. With my hair color and skin tone, I’ve never been a person that wears yellow, and in fact, I think this may be my first and only yellow item in my closet. I love that this shirt combines a fun print with the off the shoulder trend, and has bright yellow accents that are flattering on any skin tone. Plus, how can you not be happy seeing bright yellow lemons on someone’s shirt?!
As far as spending money on trendy items, I’m a total believer in saving the majority of your shopping/clothing money on closet staples which will be worn time and time again. When it comes to trendy items that may not see the light of day past one season, do yourself a favor and stop spending so much money! Stores like SheIn have options for those of us who may be trying to save some money here and there by offering the trendy items we all want, while making sure you don’t break the bank. Living in New England where it’s cooler for 3/4 of the year, I definitely find myself spending more money on fall and winter items. I love summer, and I love dressing for it, but for where I live, it just doesn’t make sense for me to spend tons on a summer wardrobe that will only be worn a couple months out of the year. Hope you guys have a great week!! Can you believe it’s Monday again already?!
This lemon top is so adorable!! I love the print.
Have a great week!

I’ve been eyeing this top for a while now. I love it on you! Such an easy summer outfit. You look gorgeous babe! Xoxo
This top is so cute on you! Lemons are such a happy print. I’m with you on the cooler weather items, it’s definitely winter here for half the year, so staples that last are much more worth it!
Row 34 is one of my favorite restaurants! We have one up here in Portsmouth and I’m actually going this week to meet with an old friend. But ANYWAYS – I feel you on splurging on Fall/Winter items. Summer up here is just TOO short! Soak it all in with that cute little lemon top! The leaves will be changing next month already!! xo Annie
SO cute! I’m all about lemon prints for summer. That’s adorable on you and I love your sandals too.
That lemon top is so awesome! I love it and the way you styled it! I love classic white shorts and tan sandals but the lemon top gives it an extra pop!
Love that bright fun top! And the sandals too!
That top is just so cute…love it, love it. love it. So bright and summery.
Love this! Perfect for summer!!

This top is simply adorable, and I love those shoes from Old Navy! I get all my kids clothes there but never look for myself… Maybe I should start!
Girl, this top looks so freakin good on you!! I think you look amazing in yellow! I’m so glad you finally got to go out and spend some quality time with your loved ones, too! & you are so right about not spending a ton on a piece of item that will only last one season! <3
