Do you ever just itch for a change? Is it the in-between of seasons that’s got me ready for a change? Honestly, I’m not even sure what the change is…ha! I’m so complicated like that. I think I’m tired of the same ol thing.
Last time I had “the itch” (that sounds really terrible) It was the hair itch. (that sounds even more terrible) You know, the one where you need a cut or color change? So you hit up your hairdresser and make it happen. That was me last month.
But, I still have “the itch!”
I know that when I’m feeling like I need a change, it’s because I DO need a change. Now I have to figure out what will do the trick. It doesn’t have to be anything maj. Sometimes it’s shifting a couple little things, that make “the itch” go away. Ok, I have to be done with that….sounds worse and worse every time I type it.
- 100% the sun! That would be fabulous.
- I might move around some furniture?
- Sign up for one of the new Kaia Fit TRX classes?
- Switch up the weekly dinner menu with something funky?
- Try a new beauty product?
- Maybe all of the above?
What do you do, when you feel like you need to switch things up a little?
In the meantime, since I have NO frickin idea what the change will entail, I bought myself a few pretty things. Springy things. Obvi, that should do the trick for now….lol. A new blouse. A pretty pink one. One that screams spring. And it made me feel better.
I apologize in advance for the terrible photos today. I had every intention of taking outfit pictures over the weekend when it was beautiful and sunny. But decided to save that task for a rainy, dark, stormy Tuesday morning. Totally makes sense, right? HA! And my house it a dungeon. I get zero natural light. Which KILLS me.
Cutwork Balloon Sleeve Blouse // like to know.it referenced this blouse as boho meets victorian. Which I think is so perfect. I love it tucked in too. And did you check out the gorgeous detail on the sleeves? It makes me smile 🙂
8″ toothpick jean in Newcastle wash with let-down hem // A fun pair of denim. Just a tad distressed on the knee. And my first pair of let-down hem. I have some cut-off hems that were a DIY project, but I love the look of the let-down. Sized down and they are the perfect fit. I think the 8″ mid-rise is my new jam. These are currently $50 off + free shipping with code: NEWNEW
I originally bought these 9″ high-rise toothpick jean in Daly wash with button fly after reading all the amazing reviews. They were a total flop. I had major mom ass. You know where the pockets are too high up on your butt? I like to call it “high ass!” Just goes to show, every style of denim runs differently.
Bandana // I grabbed the “gentle blush multi” Such a cute accessory to the bamboo clutch. Or tired around your neck. I wore one last week….got mixed reviews from Cory + Bay, but I liked it, so I rocked it. For $12.50, I kinda want to buy one of each.
Bamboo Clutch Doup // I’ve had my eye on the “Cult Gaia” since last summer. I thought it was so impractical. The price tag and the fact that its see through. Then I stumbled on the knock-off Amazon started carrying. For $38, I decided to give it a try. It’s so fun! And nothing has fallen out…yet!
If you saw my Instagram Story Poll, which bag did you think was the knock off?
Bag #1 // Bag #2
Here are the current results…….
You guys are pretty good!
Bag #1 // $128 Ark Handbag CULT GAIA
Bag #2 // $38 Miuco Womens Bamboo Handbag Handmade Large Tote Bag
I saved $90 and I’m 100% happy with the quality. It came perfectly wrapped in a purse bag and came with a cute handbag handkerchief. Prime it if you can, shipping did take longer than I’d expected.
Espadrille Wedge Sandal // I stumbled on these beauties while doing my weekly daily Target run. TARGET is on fire right now. I must stay away! These are from the Universal Thread line. $32! I sized down from my normal 8 to a size 7. And they fit like a glove. I’m going to be honest though, not sure I will be keeping them. I love them, but we’ve got 1 problem. I’m already 5’8. Throw a 4″ wedge and I’m straight up Amazonian. Pushing basketball player status. Ha. I love them so much. Bay voted that I keep them. Only so she can have them “when I die!” Gotta love her. We’ll see what I decide to do.

A $129 savings with this doup. Pretty good, don’t you think?
Ok, that’s all the fun I’ve got for you today. Have a great day and see you tomorrow. I’m thinking about sharing an asparagus salad. But, who knows, that could change.
