She's getting back into the swing of things by making her return to acting after serving a prison sentence for her role in the college admissions scandal.

But Lori Loughlin didn't give any hints about her return to the small screen when she was spotted looking casual and relaxed at a gas station in Los Angeles on Friday.

The 57-year-old Full House star looked comfortable in a set of purple sweats as she filled up her luxury Range Rover.

Lori looked at ease in a lavender zip-up jacket that went up nearly to her chin.

She paired it with a set of lilac FREECITY sweatpants and rounded out her low-key look with black flip flops.

The actress blocked out the sun with a pair of aviator sunglasses, and she kept her brunette hair tied up in a messy bun.

She also kept a navy floral-print mask with her, which she wore when she stepped inside the attached convenience store while carrying a large tan handbag. 

Lori also took the opportunity to clean up her luxury SUV a bit.

She wiped down the windshield and had to open the passenger door and stand in the vehicle to reach all the way across it.

In December, the mother of Olivia Jade Giannulli will make her return to television on the GAC Family series When Hope Calls.

The show is a spin-off of Lori's old Hallmark Channel show When Calls The Heart, and she'll be reprising her role as Abigail Stanton from that earlier series in the second season premiere on December 18.

After Loughlin was charged in the 2019 Varsity Blues scandal, she was fired from When Calls The Heart and barred from other Hallmark shows and movies, and her previously filmed scenes for the show were edited out. 

However, Loughlin seems to have been invited back into the family-friendly sister-series, and When Calls The Heart's creator has previously hinted that she might return to the flagship series.
