I got this top last month as part of my March clothing budget. I got it from a local consignment store where I usually try to sell clothes that I don’t plan to sell on eBay. Of course, I had to look around while I was there and stumbled upon this Banana Republic shell for $11.99! I love the colors and pattern, and knew it would work well with my maroon pants. (Seriously, these pants have gotten some great wear! Check out my 3-day remix with Erin, and this outfit.) Shop the Read More

Seem pretty do-able- takes 10 minutes (or less?!) at a minimum! [Also- have you seen that article on “10 Things I want my daughter to know about workout out?” It’s worth a read even if you don’t have kids. #truth] 2. If you’re like me, you probably did Read More
