TGIF! We made it through perhaps the longest week of the year (or perhaps of our lives), amiright?! Things are crazy. We can all acknowledge that fact. A few things I did to make me feel more “normal” and at ease this week: several outdoor walks around my neighborhood each day, upbeat music on in the background while working from home, at-home workouts, and I got dressed (no leggings) every day this week. Getting dressed may seem like an unnecessary chore, but I promise it makes a big difference. I even applied a bit of makeup each day too.
I’m sharing pics of my outfits this week throughout the blog post to provide a little inspiration. And on a high note, almost every item that I wore this week is currently on sale! I linked all of the pieces under each photo.
This Week’s Blog Posts

This week’s workouts …
Since we’ve moved to strictly at-home workouts, I’ve been sharing my workouts daily on Instagram Stories. I saved them all to a highlight on my Instagram page if you need some inspiration!
Today (Friday), I’m trying out a live stream yoga class. My yoga studio, Yoga Works, is offering streamed yoga classes for free through the weekend (they might extend). You can check out the schedule here: https://www.yogaworks.com/classes/live/
Michael and I have also been taking numerous short walks around our neighborhood during the day to break up the days.

My Favorite Things this Week
A few of my favorite things this week …
J.Crew Sandals // I grabbed these a few weeks ago. Seen in two photos above. They’re the perfect slide for spring! The leather is super soft and I love the knot style!
YETI Coffee Mug // I always rave about my YETI mug. It keeps my coffee hot for hours, and let’s be honest, I really love the look of it too!
Abercrombie White Jeans // These are the most comfortable jeans I’ve purchased/worn in a LONG TIME. The perfect white denim for spring summer! High waisted, soft denim, loose, straight-leg fit. They run TTS, I wear my normal jean size 26.
Take a few deep breaths, get outdoors, and try to stay off social media for a bit this weekend! 🙂
