Skinny Spring

















Jacket: Limited (similar); Top: Express; Pants: Gap; Shoes: Franco Sarto via TJ Maxx

My Mom had a friend that used to say that she was always one stomach flu away from her goal weight... well let me tell you, I am at my goal weight. I came down with a nasty, emergency-level flu on Thursday at work and ran out of work with a 102-degree fever. After sleeping from Thursday afternoon through Saturday morning, I am officially fitting all my skinny jeans and these favorite velvet skinnies were falling off today. It felt good to get outside for a quick walk to the store and around the park to absorb some gorgeous Spring sunshine. It's rare to get a March day that looks this perfect in Washington. 

To feel more alive today I showered, tied my hair up in a pretty pastel ribbon tie, and smudged some pink lipstick on my cheeks to look a bit less sallow. I also baked some homemade rosemary crackers which I'll share later on the blog. It sure feels nice to resemble one of the living, rather than one of the walking dead, again!

  2. I'm glad your better. My friend got sick recently and made their goal weight too. I guess it's the silver lining. I love this blue blouse perfect for the start of Spring.
