I wore this to: Make my life a little easier last week.

Last week was one of those weeks that called for quick and easy everything, it was stressful...like, crying in the nursing mother's room at work at two o'clock on a Friday kind of stressful (I'm fine, really). For weeks like that, I stick with the tried and true- comfort is key when you're having a mini breakdown- and a little dress and sneakers will always be right to me. I've been especially appreciative of the sneaker trend this year for making cool and comfortable footwear more readily available. It was something I knew I would want to invest in this past January when I had a little Christmas money burning a hole in my pocket, and these studded platforms went on sorta-sale. I knew they'd go with everything, and I was right.

I hope you're having a good week, so far this one is much better than last for me. Despite feeling emotionally heavy at times, I appreciate this time of year for making me feel a little lighter and brighter. Fewer layers, lighter fabrics, make-up becomes less of a priority in my daily routine. Cheers to a new week and a fresh start and, hopefully, warmer weather (it SNOWED on our hill yesterday).
