Welp, its Monday. And on Mondays, I just want to wear something super comfortable and easy.To be honest, I’m usually still half asleep, and I just don’t like thinking too hard on Monday mornings. I have the luxury of having a pretty casual office, and  this outfit is the epitome of comfort and ease. I love these jeans – they come pre-worn and perfectly ripped, and are so comfortable. I just threw on an old sweatshirt, wrapped around a cozy scarf and voila — easy breezy Monday comfort. My coworker dubbed this look ‘athleisure,’ which feels pretty spot on! Hope y’all have a good one!

top: ASOS bodysuit // pants: 1. state white culottes (also in a soft pink & black here) // shoes: christian louboutin pigalle follies 100 mm in black suede (cheaper version here)// fur stole: old (super similar here) // lipstick: chanel rouge in 104 (best lipstick ever!) // bag: sole society perforated silver clutch

There is something about culottes that I just love — and these white ones just feel so refreshing! I wanted to pair them with something simple yet festive, so the faux fur stole (originally from Forever 21!) and red lip did the trick perfectly I think. The material of these culottes almost feel silky and are so comfortable. I think I may have to go back and get another color! I have also been living in this ASOS bodysuit (under $35!) It’s an incredibly soft jersey material and super great for layering on colder days.

Happy hump day!

New year, new you #amiright? I started working out 6 or so weeks ago and I haven’t looked back since. As I move into the New Year, and continue my ‘fitness journey’ I plan on taking you along as it evolves, so I wanted to round up a few of my new favorites fitness related items for you guys! 

I’m absolutely in love with the Nike tech jacket – it is one of my favorite workout clothing items that I own. It’s great for keeping you warm, but also looks cool when you wear it to run errands or hang around the house. I get to wear workout clothes to work – so I feel like this jacket looks laid back yet still elegant (is it possible for work out clothes to look elegant? #goodquestion) Anyway, the same goes for #8 – the grey/white color combo on these sneakers are so dang sleek. I honestly think they’d look just as good in the gym as they would with a pair of black skinny jeans. And then #7 is a no brainier. The fitbit is fun and functional – Helps you track your progress, but I also use it to keep me motivated as I compete in steps with my family members!
