7 day challenge!

Oh, hey there! Thanks for stopping by on this lovely Tuesday. Friends, I need to hit reset. Fall makes me so happy, I feel like this:

But when I look into my closet I feel like this:

I see the same thing over and over. Instead of being nose blind, it's like I'm CLOTHES blind (mmmhmm, Dad joke) - I can't see the good stuff right in front of me!

All kidding aside, I feel blah. I don't need any new clothes. Neither do you, admit it. But, I could use a little creativity and a little imagination. I need purpose, a motivation! So, starting THIS FRIDAY and for 7  whole days, I am going to wear an outfit I have never worn before, with items I already own.

See, the thing about this blog, is that it's just a blog. About my life, and clothes, and things that one could argue are trivial. I spend a lot of time justifying the voice in my head that tells me that writing about fashion is laughable and a waste of time. But I believe in the Butterfly Effect, and if nothing else, maybe you do this challenge with me and you save some money, or your crush compliments you, or you feel more confident than you've ever felt before. And that will open you up for some good deeds, and so on and so on. Also, WHY NOT?

Here's the scoop. Starting Friday, post a pic of your outfit on the 'gram with the hashtag #LRWmademedoit. Let's start a sartorial revolution!

Thank you for reading my not entirely trivial blog. I so enjoy writing it for you :)

Also, I need that plaid suit.

FIVER: stuff we wanna share

Aaaand we're back! Just a little blogging respite to catch our proverbial breath.  And how inspiring was Court's post yesterday?  It was exactly what I needed to read and gave me a little boost to get back into this blog.  I'm in!

A lot has been going on!  My nephew was born on Monday, and I cannot wait to meet him this weekend!  Aside from that...

A great brand you should check out.  I received their chapstick in a Birchbox, and I was instantly intrigued.  In my quest to weed out products that are tested on animals, I was in need of some makeup remover.  Their version is all natural, organic, and only has 3 ingredients (plus how cute is the packaging)!  If you are crafty you could make it yourself!

Reasonably priced, beautiful clothes.  I discovered this website on Pinterest, and I am loving all their inventory.  I ordered this.  Sweaters and plaid?  How novel.

YogaGlo.  In my January challenge, there were days where I simply didn't feel like leaving the house to go to class.  This website has been awesome (and it's affordable!) for sneaking in some sun salutations whenever the mood strikes.

Are you a list maker?  I totally am.  Sometimes when I'm reading my work emails in the morning, I write down notes before answering them, to highlight key points.  Kind of an extra step, but it works for me.  I love these planners; though I am not type A, there's something about organization by date that just feels wonderful.

This...

Hellooooo, gorgeous.  Happy Friday!!

Anything you're loving and want to share?  I dare you to comment :)
