This past week was so rejuvenating. Nick and I celebrated our 5 years with a night away in the city, while Uriah hung out with his grandparents. I was so thankful for the few days we got to just relax and enjoy each others company. We were able to go to some hiking spots I had been talking about, eat our weight in carbs and delicious truffle fries, and go for a morning run in the rain. I love being a mom more than anything, but it's nice to also be a wife and enjoy special time with Nick.
Alright, enough mushy-ness..let's talk about this outfit! I swore off wearing sweatshirts years ago. I thought, "I'm past that phase in my life" - no more sweatshirts! Ok, I didn't know or even think about the possibility of beaded sweatshirts when I went through that phase, so when I saw this lovely one at Marshalls, I forgot all about my little sweatshirt fasting and quickly bought it. I'm not sure if anyone else swore off sweatshirts like myself and if you did, after seeing this one you may become a believer again! It is a shorter length, so I paired it with a chambray top (also from Marshalls) that had a subtle print to it. One of my favorite things to wear lately is a longer, loose blouse, preferably one that covers my bum, underneath a fitted top or sweater. It looks so put-together and adds a little extra to the outfit while giving it a playful look. And I can't get enough of the tuxedo cut on the back of the chambray! Love those little details. Cloth & Stone does chambray SO well and I seriously can't get enough of their clothes. I love that I can go to Marshalls and pick up such affordable, in-season pieces and see them being sold at Anthropologie a week later for triple the price. Who doesn't love getting a deal like that?! So keep your eyes peeled for Cloth & Stone blouses- you will be thanking me when you're wearing the softest denim blouse EVER. Speaking of deals, the Plato's Closet near me had a killer sale Saturday, so get ready for a little haul video coming to my YouTube channel.
Thank you for reading!
