What’s Happening Saturdays
Welcome to What’s Happening Saturdays. I have found that I have a lot to say and share, so on Saturday, I’ll write a blog post that can contain more of everything.
Life Update
It was so beautiful yesterday that I decided to get out of the house. I drove about 45 minutes to a mall and did a try-on at J.Crew Factory. Then, thankfully, I also stopped by Talbots and Chico’s.
The reason I say “thankfully” has nothing to do with the styles at J.Crew Factory. In fact, I found a lot of gorgeous pieces. The problem was the sizing.
I’m usually between a medium and a large in tops. For jeans, I’m pretty consistent, but it seemed like everything I tried on was just a little too snug. By the third or fourth item, I was already heading down that dangerous path of telling myself I needed to lose weight, go on a diet, and stop eating everything in sight.
Sound familiar?
By the time I got to Talbots and Chico’s, I started feeling better. My usual sizes fit just fine. That’s when I realized the problem wasn’t my body.
The problem was my brain.
I had completely forgotten what size I wear in J.Crew Factory jeans and grabbed a 28 instead of a 29. One little number had managed to change my entire mood.
How silly is that?
The truth is, I let the size on the tag determine how I felt about myself instead of focusing on the only thing that mattered, how the clothes actually looked and felt.
So here’s your reminder, and mine: the size on a tag doesn’t define you. It’s simply a starting point, a suggestion of what to try first. Different brands size differently, different fabrics fit differently, and our bodies certainly don’t fit into one universal sizing chart.
The goal isn’t fitting into a certain size. The goal is finding clothes that make you feel confident, comfortable, and like the best version of yourself.
The Weekend Sales Worth Shopping
Ruggable
There is a SALE section where the rugs are 20% off, but you can always use code TANIA15 for 15% off any rugs not included in the sale. My daughter has already picked out several, but can’t decide which one. My favorites are the Provence Sage Rug, the Mallow Flower Natural Stone Rug, and the Bird & Pomegranate Soft Black Rug.
40% Off 2 Or More Full-Price Styles. New arrivals launched, and I tried on a lot of really cute items. These Scallop Pull-On Crop Jeans, denim dress with braided trim, and this statement knit dress were a few things I wanted to try, but they weren’t in my store.
Earn a $50 Award for every $175 you spend through June 21st. Then, spend your reward from June 22 to July 12, 2026, toward a $100 minimum purchase. New arrivals just launched. I’ve linked a few & also ordered some.
40% to 60% off everything, plus $10 off every $50 – These Ankle flare jeans are a favorite of mine. I like the slight flare, which isn’t overexaggerated.
Joe loves their Performance Polos because of the moisture-wicking fabric. I love the Wrinkle-Resistant Linen Shirt that just came in, and I’m going to make him wear it tonight when we go out to eat. You can get 30% off warm-weather styles with Code WARM. Just in time for Father’s Day!!!

One More Thing
Well, the baby has woke up early, so I’m off to NeeNee duty. The great thing about having the sales in this post is that I can update it. So, check back in an hour or so, and I’m sure I’ll have some more sales and items for you to see.
Each time you share my posts on PINTEREST, INSTAGRAM, YOUTUBE, AND FACEBOOK, it not only helps other ladies who might be style-challenged find my blog, but it also strengthens our community. Furthermore, I appreciate every one of you and consider you a friend.

Verse Of The Day

for they will be filled.
I really like your new format for Saturday’s!
I’m glad this format is working better for you.
Love the summer looks.
🙂 Love the green and pink J Crew top!
🙂 Size has always been too important to me, since I’m always trying to go down a size. But you’re right, it’s just a number, just like our age. I like the brightness and summery look of the first outfit. It looks great on you.
Isn’t funny how we can let a number on the scale or on our clothes make or break our days! Glad you got past it quickly.
Love your new Saturday post. You look pretty in pink, beautiful pink & green top, looks good with the pink & the white pants.
😊ok I’m back! I had to stop reading and order that first stripe top from JCrew factory! Adorable!
I know what you mean about not letting your size define you!! Definitely, all brands have their own sizing. There have been times I ordered online only to realize the sizing was off. It does help to try clothes on before buying. I want to tell you how refreshing & helpful it was to read your post, Tania! Thank you!!
