Hi there! Well, as you may have noticed, I took an (un)expected break from blogging. It was one of those moments where I just had to take (self-imposed) pressure off of myself and relax. I took moments to look at the blogs I follow but for pure enjoyment. I have been running a bit hard lately with work and personal commitments so the tech break was much needed! Thanks for being patient with me!
I'm happy to be back to blogging. It's something I truly enjoy and I value the time you take to stop by and say something. Despite my tech break, I did steal moments on Instagram (that is just too addictive). I also managed to sneak in some shopping, and this H&M jacket was one of my recent acquisitions. It's such a simple throw-on piece that probably looks like a million other things I own but who can say no to bedazzled embellishment and army green?
How have you been?!
I was wondering where you went ... lol :) Glad you're back and are well rested (from the blog). Love this jacket, such a great color!
ReplyDeleteEveryone needs a break now and then!! It's important to allow us to feel inspired and to destress!
ReplyDeleteI love this look, the polka dot tee is perfect with this military blinged out jacket.

Love the combo of the gray/silver polka dots t-shirt and your awesome jacket (what a great find). I haven't been able to get to H&M to check out their Conscious collection.
