J.Crew Factory Sweater (On major sale! Take an additional 30 percent off with code “HURRYSPRING.” One of my favorite sweaters this season.) / Vera Bradley Tote (c/o) / Ralph Lauren Oxford (On major sale! Such a steal!) / C.Wonder Pink Suede Pumps (Old, similar here, here, here, here and here) / Henri Bendel Bangle (c/o — Old, newer bangles here) / Kate Spade Pearl Necklace (Old, newer version here. And how cute is this one?!) / J.Crew Jeans (Mine are actually the old “Miller” wash, but the “Kelly” is very similar. And has a better name, hehe) and Pearl Earrings
Life has been crazy over the last few days. Actually, that’s an understatement. All is well, but I’m exhausted and my head is cloudy. I feel like I have a zillion things to do and am being pulled in too many directions… so please excuse me while I take mental health day.
I used to be convinced that taking breaks during stressful times was pretty much the worst thing you could do for your sanity. Who wants to feel even more buried upon returning? Now, though, I realize that they’re sometimes necessary, and that they can give you that extra bit of energy to power through. They also help prevent meltdowns. (And I’ve definitely had my fair share of meltdowns over the years. Mom and Dad can attest to that, haha. Sorry, guys.)
So what’s on the agenda today? Lunch with a best friend from NYC who’s in town for business. And that’s it.
The to-do list will be there tomorrow, right? ;)
The color combinations are perfect! I’m loving those heels!

Definitely need to take more days like yours! Lunch with a gf and that’s it! To-Do lists have a way of piling up overnight.

Love love love the pink pumps. If those aren’t calling for Spring, I don’t know what would be! Out of curiosity, are you wearing hose because of the still-very-un-Spring-like weather (i.e., full pantyhose for warmth) or just knee-hi hose (perhaps to avoid blisters that some such as myself are so prone to get with heels without some sort of layer in between shoe and skin)? While I sometimes go with the former, I nearly always go with the latter (depends on the shoes, in particular how broken in they are).
I feel like your site has changed a little. Am I crazy?
Your jeans looks so good! I could use a new pair and I just might have to try these!

Kel, I loved that sweater so much that I just bought TWO (in navy and in grey. Couldn’t decide and they were SO on sale). Thanks for the heads-up. Hope your day off was refreshing!
