Back to School Outfit: The Best Dark Denim Jeans

Looking for the perfect Back to School Outfit? Dark Denim Jeans are a fall staple that you can wear until spring…….and we found some for a STEAL!

Thank you to JCPenney for sponsoring this Back to School Outfit discussion.Looking for a great back to school outfit? A great pair of dark denim jeans is the perfect wardrobe staple!Make it STOP.  I feel like this summer flew by, and we went from talking about bikinis to the perfect Back to School Outfit in the blink of an eye!  In fact, I'm a little in shock that we already had to start Back to School shopping.  This year, my goal was to find pieces for both of us (since I was shopping for my Teacher Back to School Wardrobe) that we could wear into the warmer spring months.  I was searching for durable, on trend items that weren't going to break the bank.  And honestly? I was pretty much set on the fact that I'd need to spend an arm and a leg on jeans.Looking for a great back to school outfit? A great pair of dark denim jeans is the perfect wardrobe staple! Well, I can admit it.  I was TOTALLY wrong.  During a recent trip to the mall, I had every intention of popping into JcPenney to pick up Converse Sneakers for Lydia.  I knew that they were on sale there, and I figured why not snag a pair (aren't the metallic high tops adorable?).  Well, I had to walk through the apparel sections to GET to the shoes.  And I sure am glad I did.Looking for a great back to school outfit? A great pair of dark denim jeans is the perfect wardrobe staple! These dark denim jeans and olive jackets? We'll both be wearing them ALL fall and winter.  And mine? They're a cut I'd heard raving reviews on (Levi's 529 curvy skinny jeans) and I hadn't seen them in store ANYWHERE.  Well, they were under $50 and fit like a dream (seriously, if you're a pear shaped lady…..order them IMMEDIATELY).  And the classic dark denim? Will go with all the OTHER trendy fall pieces we picked up for less than a pair of designer jeans.  We snagged jackets, sweaters, denim, and some pretty adorable shoes.  All high quality, and all a great price.  And the best part? I'm ALMOST DONE Back to School shopping!Can you believe we're talking fall outfit ideas already? A great pair of dark jeans is the perfect staple for any fall wardrobe!

🎉HAPPY REOPENING DAY TOONTOWN!!!!!🎉⠀ ⠀ W 🎉HAPPY REOPENING DAY TOONTOWN!!!!!🎉⠀⠀We loved visiting yesterday for a preview of this reimagined area.  It’s absolutely perfect for getting your wiggles out, having a picnic and yup……..getting your Disney feels fix.⠀⠀My top recommendations when visiting this new area?⠀⠀1) mobile order from Cafe Daisy…..we loved the pizza options and the cold brew⠀2) play play play in Goofy’s How-To-Play Yard, and inside his house…..⠀3) take the time to walk through Minnie and Mickey’s houses, you’ll probably see a surprise friend or two!⠀4) absolutely yes to the picnic basket from Good Boy! Grocer.  It’s a STELLAR price and a really fun experience to pick out your own snacks.⠀5) Mickey’s and Minnie’s Runaway Railway is a perfect full family ride.  I’d suggest trying for this earlier in the day if you can.⠀6) Keep an eye out for Pete, it’s so much fun to see him wandering the area.⠀⠀#Disneyland #Toontown #Mickey #Minnie #MMRR @disneyland @disneyparks invited guest
✨There’s something in my eye…….oh it’s j ✨There’s something in my eye…….oh it’s just pixie dust.⠀⠀When I think of Lydia’s earliest visits to Disneyland….I think of Toontown.  I think of Minnie’s House and meeting Mickey and playing next to Goofy’s House.  I think of the adorable landscape and the magic that the area creates for the youngest and the young at heart.⠀⠀✨Today we visited Toontown for a sneak peek before it’s reopening tomorrow…..and yup, that pixie dust definitely got in my eye.  More than once.⠀⠀Toontown is even more magical than it was (partially thanks to the addition of a cold brew on the menu at Cafe Daisy (good call Disney food and beverage team). ⠀⠀✨My favorite moments from today’s sneak preview?⠀1️⃣ we saw Pete. He’s even better than I’d hoped.2️⃣ I love love love the food options in Toontown! Highlights: the picnic basket snack option Good Boy! Grocers, the cold brew and a delicious gluten free fold over pizza (regular looked great too)3️⃣ the new play areas are amazing! Goofy’s How to Play Area is phenomenal and filled with a ton of new interactions. ⠀Happy reopening Toontown.  Can’t wait to see you again real soon. ⠀⠀Have you visited Toontown? Are you planning to come see all updates?⠀⠀#Disneyland #Toontown #Mickey #Minnie #MMRR @disneyland @disneyparks invited guest

There are people cheering you on…..and you don’t even realize it.I learned a LOT during the 7 months of training for this race.  I learned that I should stretch and warm up (thanks pulled muscle for that life lesson), I learned that small progress over time leads to achieving big goals.  I learned that sunshine and being outside makes me a happier person.  I learned that I’m more of an athlete than I thought I was. But most of all? I learned……there are a whole lot of people in your cheering section and you might not even know they’re sitting there.  After I pulled this muscle, I was amazed by the sweet and kind messages while I tried to prepare to run my first 10k with an injury.  But NOTHING prepared me for the ovwhelming amount of kindness and support that flooded into my inbox when I crossed the finish line.  From the early morning you can do this messages to the ones that came in throughout the race to the inspiring amount of support as I iced my pulled muscle…..it brought me to tears.And the amazing thing? When Jennifer and Lashawn and I found each other at the finish line….they said the same thing.  It’s not just me.  We all have a cheering section.  And wow, do they show up when you may not be expecting them.Got a big goal? Working on something new? Share it in the comments.  I’d love to join your support team.#medalmonday #rundisney
