Oversized tee shirts have taken over my closet! I quickly grabbed this 90s NASCAR tee from the thrift store a few months back and I wear it all the time but just never grabbed a photo!
Back to school…in my vintage tshirt from my very own high school! My mother-in-law gave this to me because, believe it or not, she WAS my English teacher! Little did I know that many, MANY years down the road my English teacher from the mid 90s would be my mother-in-law! I love it! I guess it’s just the chances when you live in a small town! Or is it fate? I’ll choose to believe the more romantic option, thank you.
We are homeschooling again this year so that first year "freak out" feeling isn't looming over me quite as much. My son is a freshman this year and I'm still a little nervous because, let's face it, I don't have a fancy degree in Education! Covid has put a halt on a lot of meetup groups and small co-ops. On a more positive note I do love the software we use and I'm enjoying creating and sourcing supplemental material. I LOVE the field trips too. Can't wait to head to Raleigh for the NC Museum of Natural Sciences!

I can't promise how consistent I can be on posting over here on the blog but I'll try! I'm still wearing all the summer things as I squeeze out the last little bits of summer. We start homeschool on Monday and I am so sad to see the summer break go!!! I guess I have one foot in summer and one foot in fall because I have already started drinking all things Pumpkin Spice. I have an instagram page dedicated to All Things Dunkin called Dunkin.Orders! Here's a little bit of what's been happening over there...
I grabbed some Dunkin Pumpkin for home brewing...
Had a Pumpkin Iced Coffee that was SO GOOD
And a Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew that was yums. It's a good option if you don't like your iced coffee too sweet.
Don't forget to try the Pumpkin Muffin. Don't!

I haven’t really been updating the blog like I should! I am still posting lots of fashion - it’s just over on Instagram. I have found that microblogging really fits into my lifestyle right now. I’m not deleting the blog because I may pick it back up at some point in time. So if you wanna keep up, just follow me on Instagram at jessicauwnc
Before you judge...our main bath needs a complete gut and redesign (hello gold toilet and shower!) but until that day comes I have to make the best with what I've got.
When we bought the house it was covered in hideous wallpaper as old circa 1980s houses usually are. We peeled that ick off and painted it a shade of green that I slowly grew to hate. Last year I painted all of the walls and trim a glossy white, scraped all of the popcorn off the ceiling (back breaking work!) and gave it a fresh coat of white paint.
Last week I saw this quirky cactus shower curtain at Target and figured Why Not?! It was on sale and it makes me giggle every time I walk in the bathroom. Plus the price was great for it being a fabric curtain. I kept the towels and the bath mat simple and let the curtain hold center stage.
I grabbed these little succulents from the Dollar Bin area.
Prices may change because it was on sale the day I went. Also, the price IN store was about $3 more. Sometimes it is cheaper to buy online and then pick it up. I could've done that but I wanted to FEEL the fabric of the curtain first. I also wanted to match up the rug in person.
I've got a video review over on Instagram. It comes in 7 colors with one of them being white with no elbow patches. I do recommend sizing up if you like your tunic tops to be on the longer side.
I love the light red color. And the green! And the white!
The leggings are from H&M and the boots were a gift from my mom a few years ago from Sears and well, Sears is no more. Make sure your leggings are always on the thicker side and are NOT see through! I think a pair of tall brown riding boots would look great with this outfit. Or a short black heeled ankle boot for a sleek look.
I got a pair of velour leggings at Christmas that I wanted to style up and share with you. I know - Velour!?! Isn't that just for grandma's? No!
The first look is sporty and cozy with a warm sweater and sneakers. The second look I attempted to dress them up a little bit but I don't think these are the ideal boots. Honestly I think a wedge ankle bootie would actually be the best but I don't have a pair of those! Darn. The last look is really just a shoe change into a more blingy fashion sneaker.
The leggings are VERY SOFT. They are a perfect length. I'm 5'4" for reference. I am wearing a Medium and it fits true to size.
The leggings are from Amazon. There are a lot of colors and not all have the two stripes on the side. Price is$18.95
My black boots are from Walmart! Now, normally I don't get shoes at Walmart because I stopped getting cheap shoes a few years back. I've slowly built up a curated shoe army of comfy boots, Birkenstocks and sensible heels. I'm actually impressed with these Time&Tru boots though. I got them on clearance for $9.00 so I really didn't feel like I had to commit at that price! If I hate them in a year and need to consign them it won't break my heart. They are $19.97 on the website right now. You could check your local Walmart to see if they happen to still be on clearance.
My fashion sneakers are from DSW. I have had mine for a few years and I love how they can take a simple outfit and just spice it up a tad.
