Laid Back

I feel as though I blinked and the weekend was gone. And don’t even get me started on that 8+ hours of shut eye I got last night – it felt like far less. I’m pretty sure the bags under my eyes have their own bags at this point.

I guess that’s what happens when you cram your days full of all of your favorite things and people with little to no downtime in between. Of course, I wouldn’t have it any other way.

We took a tour of the Boulevard Brewery on Saturday and thanks to their flights, we taste tested just about everything. I’ve always been a Tank 7 and Pale Ale girl myself, but there’s a new (to me) brew in town and it might have won my heart over…only time will tell.

Yesterday’s floral arranging workshop far surpassed my expectations (more on that soon!) and after Meg and I put our newly acquired skills to work, we caught up over chips and dip. You could say it was a weekend well spent!

As for the threads, this is the outfit you can find me in nearly every weekend. I’ve said it before and I’ll be saying it until the end of time: this look is nothing revolutionary – it’s just what works for me. I was reminded the other day of the acronym K.I.S.S., which stands for, “keep it simple, stupid.” This is the perfect example of me keeping it simple.

I’m looking forward to another productive week, sprinkled with a few Bar Method classes, topped off with yoga on the lawn at the Nelson Atkins! Que the much-needed detox.

HOW WAS YOUR WEEKEND? ARE YOU TAKING YOUR WORKOUTS OUTDOORS NOW THAT SPRING HAS SPRUNG?

    Madewell tee’s are the best! So jealous of yoga on the lawn, I’m hoping to go to a yoga in the park session while I’m in the city this summer!

    Jeans and a grey tee is my favorite weekend outfit! it matches everything and can always be dressed up or down while still staying laid back. It really doesn’t get any better.
