I really did start to feel different (physically and mentally) when I was not working out. I had a stressful month at work and with the new house in the mix life just felt too busy and out of control to make time for working out.
I needed those weeks off to focus on other things, but now it’s time to get serious again.
H and I have been living off of takeout food for dinner (I’m not even going to mention all of the crap we’ve been eating).
Anyway, sorry to go off on a tangent there but I wanted to give an update—sometimes, we fall off of the fitness wagon and it’s so easy to skip a day…and that turns into two days and then three and then five and suddenly you haven’t worked out in a month. The best thing you can do is just get back into it when you can. Life happens and that’s okay.
Here is today’s outfit. I enjoyed pairing this more casual jacket with my work outfit—
I dressed it up a bit by adding the pink flower to it.
Jacket- PH8
Flower Pin- H&M (old)
Top- Old Navy
Skirt- J. Crew No. 2 Pencil Skirt
Belt- J. Crew
Shoes- Kate Spade

I agree that we all falter when it comes to many things in life, especially health and fitness. I took two weeks off from the gym and went back last night. It felt weird, but also really good!
I love the flower pin, very Carrie Bradshaw! I've been actually looking for one like yours, but can't find any.
noelle—-try going to Michael's arts and crafts and buy a peony and add your own pin 🙂
Great outfit and I love the pretty pink flower on your jacket!
Hope you're enjoying the new home. 🙂
you really remind me of kate middleton. i love this. xx
The flower is such a great touch! I'm sad that the J. Crew skirt is on backorder in that colour… it's so pretty.

monika—you are SO sweet! that is the biggest compliment ever!
bigger closet—thanks 🙂 we are still settling in! I think I need to start painting or something…some of our walls are painted but I hate the guest bedroom color…need inspiration!
I love your outfits, I wish I could have more fun with my outfits but being a makeup artist limits me to all black:( so I'll live curiously through you! your outfits are always so simple yet chic ..lovely
Urgh. I wish I could just send you my money, and have you send me back clothes. I'm finding zero inspiration in shopping when I actually get to the store. Such a bummer of a rut.
the flower was a great touch
VERY CUTE outfit- you look darling!
I agree too- you have to be flexible and adjust to what's going on in your life. Good for you for getting back to it!

such a cute outfit girl 🙂 so simple and chic! xo
Love the outfit! Super cute! And totally know what your saying with working out…I tend to fall off of that wagon often, but I am trying super hard to keep it going now that the holidays are around the corner!!
Where is your necklace from?
Same here, I've been getting back into my routine of sleeping earlier, getting better, and working out more. As it gets colder I know I'm going to need more energy and I want to look good for family during the holidays xD
You look great, lovely flower pin!
Great outfit. The flower really does dress up the jacket well. It's so easy to fall out of a workout routine. That's so nice that you and your H have each other to turn to for motivation!
Such a great outfit, V! I love that you are getting more creative and mixing different patterns and colors! So fun and they look great! You know how to do it in a sophisticated way.
love it but if u changed the jacket
to a blazer or a boyfriend jacket it'll look much hotter and nicer
I normally don't comment, but that outfit is adorable! I want to copy it!
I love that pink flower addition!
Cute outfit!
The jacket really ruins this outfit for me. It's just too casual looking. Having said that, the skirt and top and belt and shoes are all fab together — love it. Just ditch the jacket. 🙂 🙂
I LOVE this look!
This post just made me feel so much better about missing the gym ! I'm glad I haven't been the only one too busy to schedule gym time! Love your our outfit too! I never know what to wear to work that doesn't look too stuffy!
