Holy Hiatus.... I'm Back.

Okay... It's a little ridiculous that my last blog post was over a month ago.  Before you judge and call me a procrastinator, I do have good reason.  I moved into a fabulous new apartment-for-one last month.  Pictures to follow!  Also, the past month has been spent negotiating with a new company, who trustingly hired me a few days ago!  So things are calming down a little, or at least until I start my new job in two weeks, which gives me time to catch up on my blogging.

During these last few weeks of insanity, I've been dealing with a lot of drama on the job-front.  It drove me to shop.  Seriously, I splurged a little.  So, let me use this moment to express to you how much it truly helped.  Work was stressing me out of my mind (hence the new job), and that little splurge was just what I needed to snap me back into happiness.  You might think it materialistic of me to resort to such a therapy, but that's exactly what it was for me.  After a long and exhausting day (physically and emotionally), it calmed and revitalized me.  It brings me such joy to find things in life (clothes, accessories, art, books, etc.) that accurately express me as an individual.  It takes me to a deeper level and reminds me who I am and where I'm going in life.  I get all this simply from shopping you say?  Yep.  To each their own right!  So what calms you down after a stressful day of work or school?  If you don't have an answer to that question, find one.  It is so important to have a hobby/interest/passion in life that express who you are and brings you peace in such a stressful world we live in.

By now you must be curious which items I ended up going home with on my latest shopping adventure.  It was all at GAP.  Now, usually this is not a store I go to if I'm needing a wardrobe face lift.  However, this season they have some super cute but flirty basics that every closet should have.  So here's a little glimpse...

 I bought this relaxed tee in three colors!  I usually never do that, but I just love how this one feels!  It hits in the perfect spot, and it is super light-weight and comfortable.  Dress it up or dress it down.  It works for any girl and any occasion.

 This cardigan is adorable!  It takes the classic black cardigan and gives it a fun and spring-like twist.  This is a must have.

You're probably thinking something like, "A plain white shirt?  Umm, really?"  Yes.  This is an essential piece to every girl's wardrobe.  Think about it.  You can pair it with some skinny jeans and boots for a casual weekend around town.  Or wear it with shorts and fun flip-flops when it starts to get warmer.  Throw on a scarf, a chunky necklace, bunch of bracelets....I could go on.  You can do ANYTHING with this shirt.  And I plan on doing just that!

I promise I will not take forever and a day between blogs again!  I have lots of creative thoughts and projects these days so you will definitely be hearing about them.  My next adventure: decorating my new bathroom.... (proving to be quite an unexpected challenge)....
