Golden, Golden, Sunshine!

Mar 24, 2011

{TOP: CLUB MONACO, BELT + SKIRT: MODCLOTH, TIGHTS: JOE FRESH, SHOES H&M}

I had many, many high hopes for myself. Hubs was at an acting workshop for a few days and I had a list of practical & responsible things, which I was hoping to do. Here's how it went down:

High Hopes
Healthy breakfast, go for a jog with my pooch, wear cute clothes, clean the house!

Reality
Slept in, ate cold pizza, watched re-runs of Sex & The City, wore PJ’s all day, made a "mental note" to clean the house -tomorrow!

And I would like to state that I didn't feel guilty, but rather re-charged & happy that I gave myself permission to do a whole lot of blissful nothingness! Prior to hubs' workshop, we went out for a lovely dinner and took these outfit photos. I was thrilled to find this charming location; it backs on to a forest & train tracks and it's safe to say I'll be back for many more outfit pictures. I was also thrilled to wear my new ModCloth skirt, and enjoy some gorgeous, gorgeous sunshine. Hope you guys are enjoying spring and feeling inspired for lots of pretty outfits. xx veronika

    Haha...sounds like the perfect day to me. I'm the same, I'd make a to-do list. BUT I'd wake up late and half the day is gone, then I'd go online and that's another few hours and before you know it, it's time to prepare dinner, then well, everyone knows you can't work after dinner...oh, wait, what?! It's mignight! Ah, well! Haha

  40. Your outfit is adorable and makes me wish for spring (snow over here last night). I really like the grey or green tights you have on. A little softer than black, but still a dark leg.

    And I make all sorts of ambitious plans when I have a free weekend. And I usually spend it the way you did---and never feel guilty!

    ReplyDelete
  41. Blissful nothingness sounds amazing! I have a tendency to do the same, be full of good intentions and then Sex & hte City wins! I'm happy it made you feel good and recharged!

    Your hair looks particularly wonderful in these lovely pics, proves my friend Sophie's theorie that wind should be our most have accessory for pictures this summer :)

  61. You know what? Sometimes you just need those days. I really love how you described 'nothingness' with 'blissful', because really thats what those days become! =)

  100. Such a lovely skirt! I really want to make my first modcloth purchase soon. I drool over all of their beautiful items, but I love to try things on so much that I shy away. Sigh. SOON.

    And red lips.. ah.. I'm jealous. I need to find the right shade of red for a pale complected natural blonde gone orangey-red. Ha! I'm not sure there is one, that doesn't scream "hooker". :x Not the look I'm going for!
