Outfit: Pink Pants

Pink pants must be in this season because when we got together this afternoon for a post we were both wearing very similar outfits! Pastel denim is definitely a sign of spring. Ellie and I both got many compliments on our "springy" outfits throughout our day. Colored pants are comfortable, easy to wear, and a great addition to any spring outfit!

Packing: Mexico


After a rainy first day of spring, we are more than excited to jet to Mexico tomorrow. Ellie and I have been planning for the vacation for far too long and now its only hours till we board the plane. Although Ellie has been packed for weeks, I have had a harder time deciding what to bring. Tonight, I decided to use our destination as an inspiration and pack the most colorful items in my closet. If you know me well  you will understand that there are very few "colorful" items in my drawers. But hey, If I am going to wear something bright, it might as well be on the Beach in Cancun!

Bright Pedicure: Essential for a beach vacation! Bright colors will make your toes look all the better as you walk through the sand :)


Colorful Swimsuit: You can never have too many bright swimsuits. Feel free to mix and max!


Neon Athletic Wear: Perfect for sunset yoga on the beach.


New running shoes: A cute new pair always makes the run more enjoyable!

Party Dresses: It is so fun to play dress up after a long day at the beach!


Summery heels: These will spice up any outfit!


Hope you have an escape planned soon! Can't wait to share pictures from the trip :)

Fitness: Maui Hiking!

To escape the gray of Portland winter my mother and I took a short vacation to the western coast of Maui and stayed at the Napili Surf Beach Resort. It was amazing to hike around, snorkel, and experience the beauty of a completely different part of the world. It was spectacular how many different plants and animals call Maui their home. Although it was warm on our trip it was unfortunately not as sunny as we had hoped. There were flash flood warnings and rainstorms the last couple days of our vacation. We did not let the less than perfect weather keep us inside though!

Outfit: Workday Wednesday

Start with the basics! A simple black pencil skirt and sweater is an easy neutral base for any work outfit. Then, add some colorful accessories. Having a different scarf or necklace for everyday of the week is much less expensive then a different pencil skirt. Adding textured tights and fun boots also adds dimension to the outfit. The scarf was a gift from my California best friend, and definitely cheers me up on the rainy Oregon days.





 
Honesty, I wear some combination of a black pencil skirt and a colorful piece at least twice a week. My basic black sweater is a go to as well. What items in your work wardrobe are essentials?

Ellie's Outfit:
Sweater: J Crew
Skirt: Banana Republic
Tights: Nordstroms (Similar)
Boots: Frye
Scarf: Gift
