It’s always so much fun to wear my little flower pot purse! Yes, I know, it has a name; but it looks like a flower pot to me so that is what I shall call it! haha

The weather has been fabulous, so I took my kids to meet some friends at Santana Row for a stroll along the Row, and also a yummy lunch at The Counter. I had a southern fried chicken burger with provolone cheese, and dried cranberries, on a brioche bun with a side of shoestring fries, and pesto sauce. It was a really good combo! I’m going to try it with beef next time; or the impossible burger. Have you tried it? It’s so good!

This outfit was perfect for a relaxing afternoon with friends. This might be my new favorite “throw-on” tee for the spring and summer seasons. It’s really comfy and I love the loose fit. It comes in a few additional colors, so I might pick up one more!

Are you enjoying the spring weather we are getting? Hopefully it won’t get hot too quickly; this weather is perfect!

Track pants on a spring day

Have ever had one of those days when you wake up and something hurts, you’re exhausted, and your schedule is full? Ugh, that was me last Friday! I woke up with an aching knee, I was exhausted-as if I ran a marathon, which I did not, and my schedule was jam-packed!

My knee threw me for a loop. Since it was spring break, I thought it would be a good idea to do a few volunteer hours with my daughters since I am trying to teach them our responsibility for the community around us. Since the weather was nice, I thought an outdoor volunteer job would be nice. So, I took the girls down to the Rose Garden in San Jose and we joined other volunteers to help maintain the garden. Our job was weeding. Now, I have a gardener at my house, so although I know how to weed, my body isn’t used to it. We worked for three hours, and afterwards it felt like I had done squats for three hours straight! Eeek!

I could barely walk the next two days, and on Friday I woke up with a pain in my knee. Ugh! I had to cancel my plans of attending spin class with a friend, and just concentrate on getting through the day without aggravating my knee even more. I met up with my fabulous friend Laura from Have Need Want and snapped pictures of our outfits, played with her cute little toddler, and ate a yummy lunch at Tacolicious. I’m so thankful I had this athleisure outfit in my closet to help me be comfortable throughout the day! Three cheers for the athleisure trend! Hip, hip, hooray!

There is nothing like wearing super comfortable sneakers and soft track pants to help alleviate exhaustion and pain. I never want to take these sneakers off! Or these pants! haha, they are so comfy!

Do you ever have days when your body just wants to stay in bed, but you have so many errands to run, you have to get up and go? What’s your favorite way to dress on those days? Mine is definitely athleisure!

Thanks for stopping by!

10 spring tops to wear with jeans

corset tops for spring

One of my favorite casual go-to looks every spring season is jeans, and a cute top. It is such a no-brainer look. There are so many cute tops on the market for the spring season; it is hard to choose just one! Since tops can easily be worn with trousers for work, and jeans for casual days, it is easy to splurge on a fabulous top we can wear again and again.

While I have a ton of tops on my wish list, I narrowed it down to my top ten favorite spring tops on the market right now!

10 spring tops to wear with jeans

The spring 2018 season offers a lot of trends for us to wear on the street. When shopping for tops this spring, we can look for the corset trend, shades of yellow, florals (groundbreaking right?), eyelet and lace, bright hues, tiers, bell sleeves, stripes, and asymmetrical lines.

These ten tops for spring fit into the current trends; and can be worn in so many ways! Of course, my favorite way to wear them is with jeans! Now, if only I had the cash to buy them all! Ah, a girl can dream right?

Which spring top is your favorite?
