Anyone still sobbing over last night’s Bachelorette?! Even my husband was mad at the T.V. Although, he will deny taking any part in watching it. He will, however, watch Bachelor in Paradise with me. I am a reality T.V junky and while Neil doesn’t understand why I watch it, he leaves me alone and lets me do my thing! Who doesn’t love to watch grown men fighting over the same woman or women in their 50’s getting drunk and falling into bushes? Yes, I am a loyal RHONY fan. Consider me well versed in all things reality T.V. Let’s move on to some fashion, shall we?

I must keep this short and sweet today. Currently, there are 6 mounds of clean laundry that need to be folded as well as a long list of chores that I must finish. Three of my four kids begin school tomorrow and so today will be spent having fun at the park, some ice cream and then organizing school supplies, picking their first outfit and getting them all clean. Come tomorrow, I will be a blubbering mess, I just know it. Will starts Transitional Kindergarten at the “big kid” school and will be there from 8-2 just like my 3rd grader. Sometimes I wish time would slow down. This past year some days felt like it would never end. However, when I look back on it, I realize how much has happened and how much I feel like I missed out on the kids. There was a good 6-7 month chunk during recovery that I couldn’t even sit on the floor and play with them. I feel bad that I missed that, but I am back to it now.
The Spring and Summer line by Rebecca Taylor is one of my favorites clothing lines to date. There are so many pretty floral pieces that I was drawn to, including this one shoulder midi dress. Right now, it’s currently 45% off at a few stores online. I did size down one size since it has an elastic waist. The pockets are also a welcome detail.
If you have LikeToKnowit, I have linked a slew of tops and skirts in this same print that are all on sale as well! Rebecca’s quality is impeccable and her pieces last years. I paired this dress with a black hat and some black Chanel flats. This dress could easily be worn into fall with some cute booties and a sweater.
I am going through my closet today and doing a little Spring cleaning in August. If you like some of the things I wear, be sure to check out Poshmark.com and search April Wagner or ajwagner26 to see what I have put up for sale. I will also be selling some items through my Insta-stories and using PayPal.
