the Weekly Rundown: Dad Sandals + Why You Need to Think About the Death of a Garment

True to my late-to-the-party approach on trends, I’ve become very interested in ‘Dad sandals.’ They seem like such a great way to make a statement AND be comfortable. I used a discount code this week to order the pair pictured above. I was tempted by this pair first, but realized they were probably too narrow for me after reading the reviews.

Our June gloom has me browsing around for jeans, particularly true blue jeans. I’m trying to decide if I want a slim fit or a wide leg.

I just got this dress from Madewell (c/o) and it’s so cute on. It’s a true wrap, and the fabric is thick and textured. (Expect to see it on Instagram soon!) This weekend Madewell is running a $25 off sale with the code LTKDAY. I will definitely be pairing it with my ‘Dad sandals.’

Bra update: I got my Pepper bra in the mail this week and it is GOOD. The best bra fit I’ve had in a long time. I highly recommend them if you’re looking for a good fit for your small bust. The only problem now is that I want throw out all my old bras!

I am plotting a way to recreate this chic summer look ASAP.

The styling of this black slip dress is spot on.

Another interesting take on drinking less. Coming out this pandemic, I think so many are re-evaluating their relationship with alcohol, even the lightest and most casual of relationships.

My friend Leah Wise penned an excellent piece on biblical literacy for Earth & Altar. Interestingly she mentions the book Inspired by Rachel Held Evans, which I’ve had in my nightstand ever since she (Evans) passed away. Now might be the time I actually read it.

One of the hosts from my favorite podcast wrote a book about prayer, which is also on my list to read. During last week’s podcast they discussed the book in depth and the author said something that really stuck with me about prayer being more for the purpose of communing than communicating. I’ve been thinking about that all week.

See the horrifying place where your old clothes go to die. Wow, this gives me serious pause. This article contends there is no such thing as sustainable fashion but it does offer a solution.

To my Oregonian friends: Kip Kinkel’s first interview ever. This is a long one, I’ve only made it halfway through. But if you lived through this, you might be interested.
