Starting Monday Right!

Last week I think I did pretty well getting dressed in more than just shorts and tees (even though I didn’t post many pics of the outfits). So I decided I would try it again this week. Especially since I’m back to eating better and will, hopefully, incorporate some exercise this time. I’ve got 10 lbs. to lose.

(Amazing how slow it is to lose them and they find their way back so quickly.)

Today, I’ll start off with the Canterbury Bells Pencil Skirt from J Crew. The top is a jersey knit cowl-neck with a v-back (I guess it could be reversible).

Blouse: Bordeaux from Anthropologie (similar here)
Shoes: Miss Trish for Target Seahorse Sandal
I know it is somewhat of a cop-out to wear white with the skirt but I wanted the focus on the skirt today. I’ll be trading out the top for the J Crew Trevi Shell for this evening. 
The Boy will be inducted into NJHS tonight. We are very proud considering the ordeal we went through with him for this special honor.
Have a Great Monday!

    The skirt is gorgeous and you look great. Good luck with your weight loss. I'm with you in spirit as I try to stick to my eating plan and weight loss goals.

    Oh, Audrey! You are my twin today;) At least on the bottom half. I'm wearing my cantebury pencil skirt as well. Paired it with a white perfect tank and navy blue bling button cardi. Oh, and navy espadrilles.

    We can be weight loss buddies. I'm working on my last 10 lbs. Or maybe 15-we'll see;)

    Great outfit!
    Congratulations to your son! I hope you post the evening version of the outfit, too. I'd love to see the Trevi shell with the beautiful skirt!

    Thank you Patina. I think losing is easier for me during the summer because I eat more fruits and veggies. I don't eat "heavy" comfort foods much during the warmer months.

    Rynetta – Good Luck! Isn't it always those pesky 10 lbs?

    Holly – I'll try that next time as I have all of those items.

    Pamela – Thank you. I posted a pic with the Trevi.

    Kathy – Thank you. We are really proud of him. He said afterward that he should have submitted his application last year (he didn't want to write the essay!?!!?) and ran for office because it was all girls and there should have been diversity. Then he asked for ice cream. LOL!
