Ya guys, this is the first official outfit post of 2019! Three cheers!
I've been feeling pretty uninspired & not excited when it comes to getting dressed lately (not sure what that's about?) but this is a recent outfit that I absolutely loved. I'm no stranger to running tights - I probably wore them for about 60% of my college experience, before, during, after practice, etc. but never as a fashion statement, just out of necessity.
I saw these online at Old Navy (their activewear absolutely kills!) and immediately pictured them with a chunky gray sweater & platform sneakers. This is, in my mind, the perfect casual lewk for right now; works just as well with a gray t-shirt, but I kinda like the juxtapose of a knit sweater with athletic tights.
These exact tights are sold out, but there are many ^ similar options out there ^ as well as the OG Adidas three stripe leggings that these are knocking off. How fresh is this dreamy pink version?? Somebody buy these because I can't. Pretty sure I've linked to the exact H&M sweater that I own.
Just because this is the first outfit post for a while, a bit of housekeeping: remember you can browse outfits by season > WINTER < shop exact or similar items in the widget above, and check out how else they've been worn on my blog by clicking the item name above.
I've been doing mostly retroactive blogging lately (a necessary evil) so how about a current life update?
+ I'm wrapping up a 30 day clean eating/dry January! I didn't have any real goals in mind other than committing to healthy eating for the month, which I have never done before. It's gone surprisingly well! Art & I have been using Hungryroot (check out that link if you're interested - I'll write more about it later) and cooking a LOT.
+ As a result of eating in/not drinking/the weather being so cold, we've been inside, mostly watching a lot of TV, though I've been reading too. Honestly it's been a cozy, but slow, month.
+ I've also taken this time to tackle some house projects & get organized. One thing I've been working on is a make-up inventory, to help with my no-buy, and goodness it has been alarming.
+ My no-buy challenge has gotten some great feedback! Excited to cheer on those of you that are attempting a similar challenge. So far this month I have bought: nothing. I do have my one purchase for Winter/early Spring in mind, but this limited shopping REALLY makes it hard to pull the trigger.
+ One of the first things I do every January is book travel, & I'm SO EXCITED that Art & I are going to South Africa at the end of March! One of our friends moved there last Summer with his wife, so it was the perfect excuse! South Africa has been at the top of my list for the last few years and I can. not. wait!
+ A real time update: I'm going to a murder mystery birthday party tonight and I am so excited. Have you guys ever done one of those? I have a feeling it's going to be my favorite thing - takes me back to planning my own birthday parties in elementary/middle school and forcing everyone to play those games, haha.
Thanks for checking in with me! I hope 2019 is treating you just fine so far.
