Yesterday was my first day out of the house since last Tuesday, (sick with a cold) and the crisp, cold air was just what I needed to feel revived and back to the living. It was also the first time wearing makeup in over four days. As much as I wasn’t feeling good, it did feel great to give my face a little break and just let it breath. Anyone else like doing that once in a while?

It also feels great to actually get dressed again – I can only take wearing pyjamas and slippers for so long. So I was super excited to put on this favorite sweater again that I’ve been wearing both casual and dressy. It looks fantastic with jeans, but as you can see it also can be more office-appropriate when paired with a pencil skirt and layered over a button-down shirt. Oh and its over 60% off right now! Gotta love clothes that do double-duty (and at a fraction of the price)!
