Amazon Fashion – My Favorite Sweater EVER For Under $20

February 28, 2018 No Comments

So the title of this post is a huge statement. My favorite sweater EVER?! You must be thinking yeah, right, how you can pick a favorite sweater of all time?! Well, if you don’t believe me, your jaw’s going to drop when I tell you where I got it. I give all the credit to my friend Ashlee, who wore this sweater to a double date we went on. Are you ready??

It’s from AMAZON. Plus, it’s less than $20…from Amazon. Prime shipping, one size fits all, the perfect color, and the softest knit. This Persun Sweater is so good friends, you need to have it. The extra large knit is so plush, and it’s perfect with a bralette. The sleeves and hem are elasticized and the top folds over into a great OTS look. I love oversized sweaters and this one takes the cake. Even though it’s long, you can easily tuck it into jeans or leggings.

Maybe it’s age, maybe it’s my sedentary Office job, but whatever it is, I am trying to get in control of my weight. Now, I’m not going to stand here and rant about how overweight I am – it’s all subjective. I am 5 feet tall, so a few extra pounds on me, is the equivalent of 5 to 10 pounds on someone of average height. While I am not a health expert and this post is not supposed to give you any professional advice on losing weight, I’ll share my tips on how I am amping up my workout routines and making some minor changes in my eating habits.

Roundup of My Winter Outfits

January 25, 2018 No Comments

It’s been a while friends! January is almost over and life has been busy – I guess things don’t really slow down after the holidays huh? Bryan has been home for the last few weeks, which is rare for us. It has been nice having a somewhat normal life together where we aren’t constantly at airports, in different timezones, etc. But no worries all, next week we should be getting back into the swing of travels.

For now, I am getting my workouts in – I have resurrected my relationship with yoga, and cycle is now a frenemy, instead of just a pure foe – and trying to get my health in order.

As for my closet, I am so ready for Spring, but the weather in DC is unpredictable until March! We have been known to have blizzards during Spring Break. It’s still sweater and leggings time, and I can’t complain about that. I have picked up one new sweater (check it out here), which I will feature on the blog soon. Other than that, no more winter clothes! My closet is ready for some fun warm weather looks.

In the mean time, here are some of my favorite outfits keeping me warm until the cherry blossoms start blooming. You can jump straight to my photos below, but for some of my musings, feel free to continue on!

Happy 2018 friends! I have been so MIA during the holidays, and work has ramped up for the beginning of the year. I’ve been putting things in place for a fresh start to my 2018, but I feel like I just dived in. A post where I document all my crazy thoughts and to-do’s will be coming to you shortly! For now, I’m bringing you this cozy sweater because the DMV has been frigid, to say the least. The bitter cold has been awful and I wish I could cuddle up in bed all day long. So that’s why this Free People Cuddle Up pullover has been so perfect. Perfectly oversized, comfortable, and warm. Oversized sweaters and leggings are a girl’s best friends during the winter months, especially when the weather hits below zero!

Hi friends – one last outfit post before Christmas is here! I dress pretty casual and comfortable for Christmas dinner, since I need room to expand…we are doing surf and turf this year, so I’m DEFINITELY going to dress appropriately. This dress is perfect. I haven’t shopped at Abercrombie & Fitch since high school, mainly because I thought I couldn’t fit into their clothes anymore. AF has done a complete rebranding and their new lines are updated, mature, and affordable! I grabbed this AF Vegan Suede Dress for under $40! It’s available in a few different colors and the site may say it’s out of stock, but keep checking back, or put it in your Shoptagr feed (Don’t know about Shoptagr? see here).
