What I Wore Lately | Jo-Lynne Shane

Hi friends, happy hump day! It’s time for another edition of What I Wore Lately, where I round up my everyday outfits from the past couple of weeks and share a little about where I wore them and how they came together. This one picks up the weekend I got back from England, so you’ll see a mix of travel recovery mode (think: comfy favorites and low-key outfits) along with some early summer looks as the weather finally started to warm up.

SIZING NOTES: I’m 5’5″ and I usually wear a small or medium in tops and dresses, a 29 or 30 in jeans and pants, and a size 8 shoe. Gifted items are indicated by c/o; everything else I purchased myself.

Two Weeks of Everyday Spring Outfits

I got home from England on the Saturday before Memorial Day, and the next day I got dressed for church in a pair of dark wash flare jeans with a black ribbed tank and an olive twill jacket. It was sunny but still a bit chilly, and sandals felt too summery, so I went with slingback pumps in a hair calf leopard print for a little interest and coverage. This look feels more fall that spring to me, but I didn’t have time to play around with other options, and I guess it works!

We hosted some friends by the pool for Memorial Day, so I ran out early Monday morning to grab food and some flowers to brighten up the deck. The weather was still on the cool side, so I went with a sweater-and-shorts combo and added my boat shoes for a practical, classic touch. They felt like a nice change after living in sneakers for 10 days in England.

By the afternoon, it had warmed up quite a bit, so I swapped the sweater for a navy striped linen tee before our guests arrived. Between the stripes and my red nails, I figured it still felt festive enough for Memorial Day… ha!

I stayed close to home on Tuesday and spent the day getting organized and working ahead on blog posts. I kept things casual with my favorite flares, Birks, and an easy washed black tee. I actually wore this outfit twice last week, but didn’t bother to take another picture.

This was another casual weekday, and I wore one of my go-to pairs of jeans with a pink tee. I ended up spending most of the day at the hospital, so I threw on my white hoodie to have an extra layer, and I was glad I had it because it was chilly inside.

I wore this casual look to run a few errands later in the week, and then to refresh my mani/pedi. (I brought my beek flip-flops to wear home from the spa, but I wore my waterproof running sneakers for errands because it was a rainy day.)

I snapped a quick pic of this outfit before heading out for a morning walk the next day. I wore it around the house for a bit before showering and getting dressed for a graduation party later that afternoon.

The grad party was a casual backyard gathering, but I wanted to look a little more put-together than my usual tee and jeans, so I wore my Rails striped linen-blend top with ruffle shoulders and paired it with my favorite cropped blue jeans.

I usually wear this top untucked with longer jeans, but with this cropped pair, I like how the front tuck helps balance the proportions and defines the waist a bit more.

The crochet flats tied in nicely with the lighter tones in the top, and I brought along my trusty linen Camp Jacket in case it got chilly, which it did. I actually ended up wearing it the whole time. I accessorized with silver jewelry to complement the cooler tones in the outfit and the gunmetal hardware on the jacket.

I changed into comfy clothes after church to hang out at home and take a walk later in the day.

I met a friend at the mall one day last week and threw on this casual look. Aside from my Birks, I don’t really have any great walking sandals at the moment, so I went with sneakers again. This beige suede pair feels a little softer than classic white and still keeps the look on trend.

I remedied the sandal situation while I was at the mall, and I came home and changed before making a quick grocery store run.

These sandals have the on-trend strappy look with soft, flat leather straps, but they’re set on a molded footbed for comfort and support. It’s the perfect mix of minimalist styling and practical features, and I also like how they coordinate with my new Mulberry bag.

The next day, I didn’t have much going on besides a quick trip to the chiropractor, so I kept it super casual with my old faithful MOTHER Dazzlers, graphic tee, and flip-flops.

This was another casual day working from home, without much reason to get dressed, other than the fact that I just feel better when I put on a little makeup and wear pants that button and zip. It’s finally warming up here in Philly, and I was feeling the heat, so I pulled out my comfiest jean shorts and this fun tie-dye tank—which happens to be a great price right now!

I had some errands to run last Friday, and for some reason, I got dressed kind of cute—this white sweater tank is new, and I was excited to wear it. I love how the wood statement earrings tie everything together.

It was a beautiful warm, sunny day, so I took a break mid-day for some pool time with my daughter. I grabbed an old tankini and threw on a pair of jean shorts when I wasn’t in the water.

Then that evening, Paul and I went out for dinner. I was planning to keep the ivory sweater tank on, but it had stretched out a bit over the course of the day, and I just wasn’t feeling it anymore. (I’m thinking I probably should’ve gone with the size small.) When it came time to head out, I swapped it for this striped sweater and added wide-leg jeans and platform sandals to finish the look.

That brings us to last Sunday and what I wore to church and out to lunch afterwards. I decided to give my jeans a break, and since it was a warm day, I pulled out this black linen dress with the contrast stitching. I usually keep it casual with sneakers or flip flops, so it took me a minute to figure out what shoes felt church appropriate.

I ended up going with taupe slides—they’re simple but polished and I feel like they work with the laid-back vibe of the dress. This pair from Sam Edelman pair is similar; my daughter actually has them and loves them.

And then it was back to comfy clothes for the afternoon… I took off the jewelry when I laid down for a nap.

I kept it casual on Monday with a t-shirt and jeans. I love this top, but unfortunately, the red is sold out—there are still plenty of other colors available, though.

And these T-strap sandals are another new addition. I really like the gold ring detail and the light neutral tone, and the square toe keeps them feeling current. They’re not leather, but they’re surprisingly comfortable and walkable.

And yesterday I just repeated the black Athleta tank and green cargo pants combo. I was home most of the day, waiting to start my “prep”… fun times!

I’m praying all goes smoothly today and that there are no issues. Thank you so much for all of your advice and well wishes—I truly appreciate it. I’ll be glad to be on the flip side of this!
