I always love daylight savings because that extra hour of sleep really does make a difference for me. I like to get a full 8 hours of sleep every night. I understand not everyone can get that much sleep because they have kids, but if you are childless, making sleep a priority is really important. It benefits how you look, how you feel and even your weight. Okay, off on a tangent there!
Before I get to today’s outfit, I wanted to share a quick, mini-review on the Brazilian Butt Lift videos by Beach Body. Beach Body seems to have a wonderful talent for finding the most annoying video hosts ever. From P90X to the Butt Lift series, all I want to do is mute the entire workout so I don’t have to listen to the voices/comments/attempts to be funny/motivational. It’s really just too much (though, if I had to pick, I’d rather listen to the Brazilian guy, at least he actually is sort of funny and doesn’t constantly remind you how fat you are or how gross Big Macs are.)
Like I mentioned above, the video host is totally cheesy and the scenes of gyrating hips over and over is kind of overkill but it’s a good workout, so I’ll let it slide.
Moving on…

Too funny about the video and annoying commentary…. I love your outfit today! Looks great and you know me and hot pink, but I still think I'd wear a version of this 🙂
Love this! By far one of my favorite outfits 🙂
i love all of these pieces, but not together. the shirt is MUCH too casual for a tweed skirt and the necklace. it just looks…off.
but i do love the shirt (i think it's much more appropriate with jeans) and i'm a fan of navy + pink.
@anon- I appreciate your comments 🙂 I actually thought the juxtaposition of the more casual shirt is what makes the outfit a little more interesting 🙂
I love this look!!! I've been on the hunt for a black & white gingham print shirt – the way you've worn your pink one is so cute!!!
I really love how you put that shirt with these pieces! What a great find! love it
Navy and pink look darling together! Love how you paired this outfit!
Thanks for your review of the brazilian butt lift video, too bad that the hosts are cheesy and annoying!!
Love the gingham shirt!! I already bought two from J.Crew!!
XX
Kute i love it !!
I LOVE your outfit!! I love that shirt so much. I'm such a sucker for gingham, plaid, any button down this season.
Um, and I'm with you on the sleep thing. I absolutely love getting the extra hour and really feel like I need a 25-hr day to get everything done+good night sleep. On normal nights, I'm too much of a night owl to get full nights sleep – but really wish I could…I need it.
I am a huge sleeper too and have a 1 1/2 year old…luckily he's also a sleeper! Another thing that's hard is working out, especially via a home video! I love your description of that video though :).
I want a check shirt and was considering black & white but I really like your pink version. And I agree – hot pink & navy is cute together!
LOVE THIS OUTFIT!! Super adorable on you 🙂
GREAT outfit. The pink and the navy are wonderful combos. Love how you dressed up a casual shirt with that statement necklace. Good call! You've inspired an outfit for me for today! Yay!
LOL that dvd sounds tough and like a lot of fun at the same time.. may have to try it out!! I am being SO lazy at the moment!!
Navy and bright pink were my wedding colors – I always get so excited when people wear them together (especially since my MIL had lots of comments about how you never see people wearing that combo!)
Very cute outfit. I like how the inside sleeves are a different pattern than the shirt. Cute idea to roll the sleeves and show them 🙂
I love the hot pink with navy! I've been rather obsessed with gingham lately as well–I like that you're mixing it up 🙂
I totally agree about the DS/sleep thing – I feel like I'm waking up at my normal time so much easier & feeling much better rested. I'm not crazy about the getting dark at 5pm deal, though, especially since thats usually when I try to get 3 miles in. I'm not a fan of running in the dark.
I need a gingham shirt now. I love navy & pink, too, though I usually don't wear pink myself. Looks cute on you though! Your style reminds me so much of my college roommate, I can't look at one OOTD post without thinking of her (& missing our closet-swapping-raids, LOL!)
I did the BBL sculpting video yesterday, too. Been using Beachbody DVDs for years. They are great.
Love the navy and pink combo. Never tried it but now I must! Love this outfit.
I love this outfit! You put it together so nicely, I love the hot pink and navy combo.
Ooo I love this shirt.
i believe it was diana who recently left a comment—-I was on my Iphone and I accidentally hit delete instead of publish (darn iphone!!!) sorry about that 🙁
Not a huge fan of the necklace (I like the necklace, just not with this outfit), but the rest of it is really cute. And still SO HAPPY that you're staying away from boring black dresses lately. Keep it up!
i've honestly never thought of that color combo but i LOVE IT. and gingham is always a win.
I can agree on the Beach Body stance. The only Beach Body video I've been super happy with, host and all, is Insanity. It's great.
