I’m baaaaaaaack! After a one week hiatus I’m very excited to be blogging again. Last week I was battling illness and numerous deadlines so I decided it would be better to take a few days off than to muddle through with half-hearted posts and thrown together outfits. I have a brand new look to share with you today that I hope will get this week off to a great start.
Today’s outfit features only one item that you’ve never seen before, and yet I think that one piece makes the entire look seem brand new. I’ve had my eye on some crazy printed pants for a while, but I was having difficulties finding a fit or a price that I liked. Then the other day I decided to stroll through the mall on my lunch break and I found these beauties on sale at Ricki’s. They fit great and I could immediately visualize multiple ways to wear them.
Here’s today’s look:
And the one that inspired it:

I appreciate you stopping by. Last week I was reminded of the importance of taking care of myself. After spending one whole day in bed I felt much better than I would have had I been stubborn and tried to suffer it out at work. Sometimes we need to rest and recharge our batteries so that we can be our best selves in the various roles we play. So my tip of the week is to take care of yourself and to keep your germs at home 🙂
Ciao for now.
