Peachy Keen in Time for Spring

Spring has sprung in DC. The beginning of April meant taking in all of the blossoms from cherries to magnolias and ornamental plums too! Between the warmer weather and getting my second dose of the vaccine, I’m feeling optimistic about the season of renewal. A couple weeks ago, I picked up this peachy keen midi skirt. Can’t seem to get enough of bright colors this spring.

Friday Five: Officially at the Pandemic Wall

Happy Friday! I don’t know about you, but I’m glad to have made it through February. Nothing specific I just seem to be at that pandemic wall and dealing with all the feelings around it. I’m hopeful that I can really use this weekend to reset (as best as we can right now) and be in a better headspace to start the new month.
