I stated, in my New Year's Day post, that Greg
and I are really making it a point to work on
our personal relationship outside of being 
parents to two small children for 2012. 


In short, we realized that we have lost
"Us" in the process of trying to be successful
parents and employees. This can be deadly
to a marriage so it is time to make some
changes in order to have some fulfillment
and joy as a couple.

A joyless relationship isn't really worth having otherwise.




Greg has always told me how much he loves
it when I am more natural. He would love 
nothing more than for me to never wear make up
and wear fleece pullovers all the time with yoga
pants. While I appreciate my husband for 
appreciating the simpler things in life.

I am by no 
means a simple woman and 
well, I am not ever going to be. 
While you will find me laying around in
yoga pants, fleece pullovers, and no make up
at least one day out of the weekend and most
of the summer when I am at home. I love fashion,
make up, and being stylish far too much for this
to ever really catch on.



I decided to sport Rosie's look for a double date 
lunch with my sister and her husband.
(Since I was having lunch with my sister I would normally
have gone a little bit over the top in my
outfit choice.)


However, I think I could get used to this look.
It is relaxed yet chic, stylish yet comfortable.
It strikes the perfect balance of both.
I could get used to this.

Who knows?


Maybe, I will be sporting a lot more of this 

vibe as 2012 gets the ball rolling.


Bottom Line:
Stay true to myself while testing for a balance as well:)

  1. Although it's a simple look, you look really pulled together and still stylish. My husband likes me more "natural" too. It is hard to forget about the "us" in a relationship with kids and jobs, so I commend you and your husband for making more time for yourselves.

  2. I love this simple and chic look on you! You look fabulous.I also love that you and your husband are working on your relationship. It is so important, but so easy to forget with everything else going on in life! You two sounds like such a great couple.

  4. Definitely for the simple look. You know I'm a big fan of comfort, yet chic.

    btw: so jealous that there's snow in the ground by your neck of the woods. It's still too warm for that white stuff to grace us with its presence here :(

  5. My husband is the same way! Perhaps you should do one post a week in which he dresses you. And, you could involve him in the photography too. I know I always get better facial expressions when my hubby is the camera man.

  6. I like your interpretation of the inspiration look better. It's the hat. I'm a sucker for hats. And white shirts. OK, all of it. You look great.
