Finally spring

Happy (finally) spring! Well... at least here in Michigan. Last week, we suffered through an awful ice storm and SNOW that actually stuck around for days. Needless to say, I took a week off from taking pictures, posting here, and posting on IG. I just couldn't bring myself to put on a happy face during those dark, dark times. Hahaha. But here we are! It was actually over 70º today. So nuts. But I'm so grateful. The sunshine, warm wind, mild temperatures... it's giving me life! I love winter, and I get that I live in Michigan where it's winter the majority of the year, but to have snow and ice into the end of April is SO depressing. Glad spring has finally come around!

10x10 | Outfit 3
10x10 | Outfit 3

Hi friends! I'm slacking on this challenge (I think it ended days ago, haha) but just like everything else... I'm moving along at my own pace! I'm going to blog five outfits total from the challenge, and then do a little recap at the end with ALL the looks I wore/planned. As much as I'd love to blog/take photos everyday, there's just no way it's going to happen. Between my full-time job and my workout schedule, I really appreciate days where I can just head home afterwards, put on my comfy pants, and chill out in bed with a book or some Netflix! But in the meantime, here we are! Outfit #3!

10x10 | Outfit 2

Onto outfit #2 of the spring 10x10 challenge! I knew I'd love this outfit, because I love each of the pieces so much on their own. I recently purchased these Levi's wedgie fit jeans from Zappos. They are the total mom jean, and I love them. I am officially a mom without a baby at this point. It's okay. I've accepted it. I'm typically in bed by 9pm. My idea of a good time is a comfy booth with a glass of wine, or some purple grapes while watching American Idol. I listen to a finance podcast everyday. Dang, my thirties are awesome. I have no shame. I love this decade so far! Hahaha.

10x10 | Outfit 1

I'm a couple of days behind... but here's my first outfit of the 10x10 challenge! Since we had some dry weather this weekend, I thought it'd be a good time to bring out this dress. I'm not sure what the weather is going to hold over the next week (looks like maybe some rain or snow) so I thought I'd knock this one out while I had the chance! Most of my looks will incorporate jeans (which are my usual anyway) so that'll be safer for cold weather! Even though it was 33º when we shot these photos. Brr! The three pieces from my 10x10 are this floral Madewell dress, my denim jacket, and my mules. For accessories, I paired my small tote, some cute earrings from Rebels Mark and my brimmed hat from Gigi Pip! (If you missed my intro to the 10x10, you can read it here!)

Spring 10x10 Challenge

For the next 10 days, I'll be participating in the spring 10x10 remix challenge put on by Style Bee and Unfancy! I've been wanting to try this for a while, so I'm excited to give it a go! I did a capsule wardrobe before, and I didn't love it. But this is an easy 10 days, 10 items, 10 outfits! It'll be a fun challenge to kickstart my spring wardrobe, and inspire me to get creative. The rules are... pick 10 pieces of clothing from your closet, including tops, bottoms, and shoes. Don't include accessories, outerwear, bags, PJs or gym clothes. Then for 10 days, create a new outfit each day, using your 10 items! Keep reading to see the 10 items I included... and links to everything! If you're also participating in the challenge, good luck!

Weekday casual

Almost Friday! This week flew, which is great, because I'm all about starting a new month. Especially one that is fully spring! I just love starting a new month of budgeting, a new month of goals, a new month of plans and fun. It's such an exciting time of year, and there are so many good things happening. I'm just really pumped for this season. To start seeing flowers bloom. To listen to thunderstorms. I'm thrilled for it all! What are you looking forward to most this season?
