Today has been a lazy one. This week was rough, being sick and having a broken A/C. I had little energy to do anything, let alone get dressed up and take pictures outside in the heat. Now that my sniffles are improving, and the cold air is circulating inside again, I felt like I should get out and enjoy a little sunshine. One of my favorite things about our house is the tree swing in the yard. Fought (nicely) with the husband to keep it, because he thinks it’s an eyesore. I’m so glad I won that battle– it’s wonderful to sit out there and relive simpler times, when a swing at a playground was the best form of entertainment.
I’ve been dying to have the perfect chambray shirt to wear on lazy days like these. After several failed options that fit too tightly or were shorter than I had hoped, I found this one at Kohl’s on a random shopping excursion. It’s soft, a beautiful light blue color for spring, and just the right length.
I’ve finally accepted that my metabolism is not what it used to be, and it’s time to retire all the skinny jeans that stopped fitting me two sizes ago. Sundays can be depressing enough at the end of the weekend, without making it worse by trying to squeeze into too-tight pants. Tossed the old jeans aside in favor of these white Current/Elliott boyfriend ones— super comfy!! I love the combination of chambray and white.
Hope everyone enjoyed their weekend and had at least a few moments to unwind before Monday rears its ugly head!

Swings add character. I’ve never seen one with a mini-pallet for a seat…that makes it especially interesting. I’m glad you’re feeling better. Sick and no a/c is a bad combination. As for the metabolism, you look terrific, so no need for stressing or depressing today.
PS – I think I’m getting a box of cookies in the mail this week!!! 🙂
Stephanie Drenka says
Thanks, Rick!! And heck yea– cookie delivery!! Is your friend from Dallas sending them to you??
Rick says
She hinted at it (sending cookies), but then fell from a horse. The cookie idea may have gotten misplaced in the aftermath. She’s fine now, but was in a lot of pain for a day or two.
