I hope you had a great weekend! Thank you so much for all of your sweet comments on Friday. It is amazing what a good night’s sleep and a little me time (i.e. reading, relaxing, and shopping) will do. I’m sorry I left you on a low note on Friday, but I feel so much better and refreshed now. Sometimes it is hard to remember that you have to set time aside to recharge, but I always feel so much better when I do.
Have you every bought something that you don’t know how you lived without it before you found it? Maybe that is a little extreme, but this jacket is totally that for me. I was killing some time in Zara (I should know better by now) and walked by this jacket. I almost didn’t try it on, but a great leather jacket has been on my list for a while. As soon as I put it on thought, it was love at first sight and I want to wear it with everything! I swear it makes almost every outfit look better. I can’t believe it was under $100! I think I got the better end of the bargain, but I’m not complaining. I’m going to warn you in advance that you will be seeing a lot of this jacket over the next few months.
Have a great day and thanks for reading!

What a find with that jacket! I am kind of glad that we don’t have a Zara near us because I’d probably spend way too much there. I love this whole look – especially the unexpected striped pumps.
