21 Thoughts You’ve Probably Had If You’re a Military Wife

Hey guys! It’s been a little while since I wrote a military life post, so I thought I would do that today! If you’re a military wife/spouse/girlfriend, you know the rollercoaster of emotions that we go through. Whether it’s a deployment or just a normal day, it’s a rollercoaster, am I right? So today, I thought it would be fun to talk about the different thoughts you’ve probably had if you’re a military wife. Even ones that you’d never say out loud haha. I also thought it would be a good way to help others understand the mind of a military wife! Some of these thoughts are funny, some are sarcastic, and some are just plain real, but I’ve definitely thought each and every one of these at some point. If you’re a military significant other, I’d love for you to add your own in the comments!

About the Outfit – Fall Basics

Before I go, I wanted to share some of my favorite new fall basics! In these photos I’m wearing the SOFTEST waffle Henley from American Eagle. I love the button details and the fit is so comfy and loose. It also comes in three other great fall colors. I will be wearing this on repeat once it gets cooler out! Wearing a size small.

If you’ve been following me for a little bit, you know I am in love with the Jamie style Topshop jeans. They are budget friendly, super stretchy and comfortable, and they have a high waist, which I usually prefer in my jeans. The fabric doesn’t stretch out after wearing them all day, and overall I just think they’re so flattering. Also, they come in several different variations, which I love. So far I have this dark wash style with a step hem and a lighter wash pair with destructed knees. The sizing on these is a little different. I am wearing a size 28 30 L and usually wear a 26 or 27 depending on the brand, so I highly recommend sizing up in these!

Finally, you can’t go wrong with a simple pair of mules for the fall! These from Free People are incredibly comfortable and easy to throw on and go. Wearing a size 39 in these and I’m usually a 7.5/8 in US sizes.
