Do you guys ever feel like life is a little over planned?! That's how Martin & I have been feeling lately. We've been growing conscious of the fact that we're usually pretty swept up with work obligations, social events, and day-to-day errands. Argh! Since our stay-cation, we've been trying to carve out a little more space in our lives, time for just the two of us, and on this particular day we did just that!!
We started our day off with a little trip to our local train museum. They actually serve tea on the train in the late afternoon - super cute! I love living in a town with so many photogenic locations, because it makes having a blog really fun and I'm always up for a little exploring too. The rest of our day was spent at the mall: we shopped, people watched, pigged out at the food fair, and lost track of time (oh bliss!)... Martin & I sat there for hours just chatting and laughing. Ah, seriously therapeutic and exactly what I needed!!
Handbag Heaven just sent me this adorable cross body bag - it's absolutely perfect for the spring season. Their bags are great quality + super affordable too! And yup, my fave cardigan is back. I just wore it earlier this week with my mustard skirt, and now with my jeans. I'm loving bright coloured cardy's this season. I have several more I'm hoping to buy this month from modcloth... like this one & this one! What's on your list?! xo veronika
Outfit Details:

It's so important to carve out time for yourself - and that place sounds really cool! Also, I love your blouse, I was thinking of buying the same one in green from Old Navy but never pulled the trigger on it.

Such a cute look, and you're right--down time with partners is definitely essential for happiness. That's so cool that they do tea time on the train! I'm a teensy bit jealous :-)

So glad you got some date time Veronika. It is so important. Patrick and I have had the same dilemma as of late with an upcoming wedding, full time jobs, three kids and all of that stuff. We decided that Friday nights were going to be "our nights" even if that just means playing Scrabble and having a glass of wine when the kids go to bed.
ReplyDeleteAt any rate, the train museum sounds sensational and I love this casual and pretty outfit!
aw tea on the train, i'd feel like i was back in the early 1900s. they should bring that back! i usually don't like flaired jeans, but they look so cute with your outfit. it seems like you can pull anything off :)
ReplyDeleteGreat top and shoes!
ReplyDeleteXO,

It's always such a nice thing being able to relax and just have some alone time with your special person. I like to do that myself sometimes but you're right, sometimes life does get in the way. But when there is time, it's always nice to catch up and enjoy the simple things in life.
ReplyDeleteThe red cardigan and blouse combo is so pretty!
ReplyDeletethose wedges are awesome.
ReplyDeleteI love this outfit! It's casual, but still chic. <3 Super cute!

You look so pretty here, girlie! And YES, I have learned that I am a person that cannot have too much planned or I feel stressed out! Not in a way that I'm all that spontaneous, but that I can't have too many commitments going on at once! I'm definitely a girl who likes her down time, and it sounded like you had a perfect little date with your man! So important!
ReplyDeleteGreat outfit hun! The cardy goes so well with your lovely blouse xx

ReplyDeleteThat sounds like such a wonderful day! It's nice to take a break from the regular busy life every so often and just forget and breathe.
