Thank goodness for awesome bloggers and tutorials.  This outfit came from Merrick's business card illustration  I knew I had all the pieces to make this outfit and honestly I had never thought of this layered look(seriously, what is wrong with me?).   I am open to any outfit idea and inspiration to make my clothes feel new and awesome again.   I am getting serious tunnel vision on how to wear my current winter closet. 

Last week I didn't have a very good time getting my booty to the gym; I did manage to work in a few pilates videos (28 Day Pilates Challenge) and a couple yoga sessions.  I'm glad to be back in routine this week!  How is your week going?

pep in my step

Since about October I've been craving luxe neutrals and earth tones.  There's been a shift in my consciousness and now I want to wear all the colors all the time.  I'm not sure if it's the remixing that's got me thinking this way or if I'm just tired of the same 4 sweaters and so I'm mixing it up a little bit more.  Either way, this purple and orange-cicle combo put a little pep in my step last week.  

I'm celebrating Hump Day a little extra this week.  I took off Friday and have Martin Luther King Day off of work and am just so happy to have a four day weekend.  

A weekend full errands, lounging, appointments and more outfit planning.  Do you guys do that too?  

If I'm bored laying around the house and don't feel like doing that any more, I start ripping apart my closet.   Either way, I'm excited for what the weekend brings.
