Soft Hues

hello, 2015! you’ve only been here for a day, but you’re already treating me well. as mentioned earlier this week, Mike and i headed up to Wisconsin for a little NYE getaway with a couple friends. we had a great time cooking, crafting up some cocktails, and playing lots of games. we had just about the laziest day in history yesterday, which was a great start to the new year, if you ask me! we talked on the drive home about our goals for the new year and i’m looking forward to seeing how all of those goals are met this year. i’m the typical ‘forget about my goals by february’ resolutionist (also, making up words, i guess), so my first goal is to change that ๐Ÿ˜‰ but after that goal, i hope to have more patience (something i am seriously lacking), meet some business goals i’ve set for myself, and to actually join a gym and actually exercise for actual better health. i see that i’m already having to convince myself to go to the gym and i haven’t even joined…this is not a good sign.
anyway, here’s to new years and new goals!   
p.s. this look is totally out of my comfort zone seeing as i typically wear black or grey, but i think i’ve caught some sort of ‘light palette’ bug and pinks, creams, and pastels are all i find myself reaching for these days!

for all of you High Five for Friday regulars: 
with the start of the New Year, i’m changing things up a little bit around here. after about 3 years of hosting the link-up, i’m passing the torch off to one of you, if you’d like to host it! send me an email and i’d be happy to direct the H54F linkers to you next week! thanks for linking up and sharing your weeks with me – it was one of my favorite blog days, but i’m looking forward to having another day for different content and starting some sort of style challenge for fridays (still brainstorming details!).

    Happy new year! I love winter white and that sweater looks super cozy. I already tried to search if it's at a target near me but no luck.
