You know how at the end of the year we totally throw caution to the wind, eat cookies for breakfast, lunch, dinner, midnight and then snack on like once carrot a month and call it good? We kind of feel like Bridget Jones going through her breakup and in a relationship with two men, Ben and Jerry. Then suddenly between January and February we are supposed to be Greek Goddesses who just eat salmon and kale and everything just magically melts off our bodies that suddenly are transformed into to the hot version of Bridget Jones? Yeah well, I’m still in the stage of looking like I’m in the relationship with Ben and Jerry.
Cape: NastyGal (on sale but only a few sized left!)
Pants: Anne Taylor (exact in solid) (leggings version on sale!)
Shirt: H&M (very similar in button down) (embellished sleeves)
Shoes: BCBG (similar but more edgy and sexy) (similar)
Earrings: (almost identical) (similar in pave and gold)
But whatever, no one has time for those 955 extra cookies you ate during the holidays to just melt off. You just claim it’s your winter coat, or in this case, winter cape. (See what I did there? I am cracking myself up.) Oh and you should make sure that when you are wearing a crop top you are wearing high-rise pants because no one wants to see that in the dead of winter. NO ONE.

I hear ya – I am still fighting those extra pounds I gain last year. I love the stripes on your pants paired with the great cape.

I am not getting on the scale until at least July! I definitely know where you are coming from. Did I dry those jeans? Why are they so snug? That cape is looking fabulous on you as always! I love your jeweled top!

I'm a newish Floridian, and one of the hardest things about living here is there is no "hiding" season. If I could throw on a nice bulky sweater I wouldn't think twice about the cheeseburgers that seem to be calling my name these days but in my t-shirts…oy.
But you've given me another idea — distract them with sparkle! That should work in any climate 🙂

I was out of control over Christmas break too. Winter is just a hard time because we're not active and outside. Love this jeweled tee today!

Girl, you look beautiful no matter what! I totally relate, though. Just when I thought I was starting to make progress, Valentine's Day candy entered our household. Such is life.

You don't even want to know all of the sweets I ate this weekend…four donuts…three cookies…I'll stop there. These photos are F A B. Am I ever going to see you again?!

Girl, you look amazing! But don't feel bad, I'm the exact same way. I haven't been working out at all and my nights are usually topped off with Reese cups or KitKats… or ice cream. I am not ready for crop tops and bikini season at all. Oh well! Love that cape, gorgeous!

I ate way too much Ben & Jerry's last year. I'm finally getting back to the gym to work off all those calories and making a choice to eat healthier. I hadn't really missed ice cream until I read this post though…so thanks for that! 😉 haha.

You're so hilarious. Those shoes are killer!

oh dear….I do understand. I've had an almost exclusive relationship with Ben and Jerry for about 4 years now. They are such great companions, with lots of deliciousness to share. They can be so comforting, especially Jerry. I'm rather fond of him, probably because he's my hubby! lol You look great sweetie. A

You crack me up! And I have to be honest – when I saw your first picture, the stripes on your pants made it look like an awkward photoshop job, where you accidentally left the edges around yourself, and I was like "this doesn't make sense!" but then I realized the stripes and it all became clear. You look great, as always!

Such a cute plaid cape and embellished top! I have a relationship with sweets too…it's so bad how much I snack! hehe
