A Little Pep in my Step

Ahh, ladies (and perhaps gentlemen) I won't lie to you all, I've been a little down lately. I feel like the walls are closing in on me. I'm always really busy, it's just who I am but lately I can't seem to get a moment to catch my breath, or just catch up period! In addition, to feeling a little claustrophobic I've been less than confident about my body too. In June of last year I hired a personal trainer. No, I don't make that kind of money, but I decided to finally do something for myself. I did great! I mean I've never felt so good, it wasn't that I necessarily lost a lot of weight, it was more that my whole body was changing. I lost 2 dress sizes and about 10 pounds. Because I've been so busy lately, I can't seem to find the time to workout (I can no longer afford the trainer, so this doesn't help). At any rate, just not feeling uber confident, so I decided to wear something peppy!! I like this outfit, in fact, I have had this blue and green blouse for a few months but haven't been able to figure out how to wear it, I think I got it!

I have a love/hate relationship with these heels. I love the texture and the classic nature of them, but especially at this time of year, when I'm really pale, they sort of blend into my skin!
