Pink & Blue

 Jacket - Miss Selfridge // Shirt - Zara (old, similar here and here) // Skirt - J.Crew (similar here) // Boots - Jeffrey Campbell // Purse - Coach (love this one here) // Shades - Ray-Ban

 It's safe to say one of my favorite colors is pink: I once was a pink M&M for Halloween, it's my go to lip color, I always picked pink for my bands for braces, I even chose it as the color for my bathroom counter! I was also 5 years old when I made that decision...but still, pink rocks. 

Pink is also very versatile in what colors it works with, largely due to the fact it can range anywhere from baby soft to electric neon in hue. I especially love how it pops when paired with royal blue. It makes for a color combo that stands out but not so much that it is in your face.

A cutesy color combo such as this in my opinion works even better when juxtaposed with items like biker jackets or moto boots to play off the feminine details of the outfit. What can I say, biker/moto jackets just make me feel like I can take on anything...except maybe the cold. I may have to break out my winter coats for that and soon, seeing as it is snowed! Ahhh too soon!

Happy Tuesday, stay warm!

(And to those who live in a warm climate, please enjoy it for my cold, pale self)

 This weekend was spent studying partial derivatives and Lagrange multipliers, and celebrating my dad's birthday. My dad has become a big health nut in recent years, so for his birthday dinner we tried out a vegan restaurant in downtown Ann Arbor called Jazzy Veggie. All of their food was delicious, especially their healthy heart aka sweet potato fries! I could eat those every day and never grow sick of them. :)

Of course, birthday celebrations would be incomplete if we didn't have the whole family together! Because of that, we made a day trip out to Grand Rapids to visit my sisters and of course eat at our favorite Coney Island restaurant (this family loves to eat, if you haven't noticed ;) ).  The rest of the day was spent checking out some new exhibits in the Grand Rapids Art Museum and eating chocolate espresso cake. Yum! :)

It's still cold here in the mitten, but I couldn't resist wearing some fun colors out and about. Maybe if I keep dressing as if it were spring outside, it will eventually warm up?! One can dream!

Happy Monday!

P.S. My sisters and I ended up wearing coordinating colors completely by accident! So, of course, I saw it as a photo opportunity we couldn't pass up...can you tell which individuals weren't too pleased with me about that? ;)

My parents and I made the weekly commute to Western Michigan to visit my sisters and watch the littlest one race. The campus where my sisters go to school is divided by this deep ravine and the students pass over this bridge to get from one point of campus to the next. The blend of nature and campus reminded me so much of my alma mater and made me miss it dearly. I can't believe it's nearly been a year since I graduated! It kind of scares me how fast time went by...so much has changed since graduation, it only makes me wonder where I will be this time one year from now. The thought is frightening and exciting!

Where and what do you imagine yourself doing one year from now? 

For me, my dream has been to live and work in DC. I don't know what I'd be doing for employment, I just want to be living in the nation's capitol. If in one year I am sitting in an apartment in DC reading this post, I'll be one happy girl :)

Happy Presidents' Day to all my fellow Americans! I was a little bummed to be going into work today since I technically could have had the holiday off. Working in the mortgage industry, business operations rely on the Federal Reserve so that loans can be funded. While the Federal Reserve was closed today, we somehow were still able to be open for business.

However, that soon changed when the power went out 2 hours in to work! Without our computers and internet access, there was virtually nothing we could do and were thus sent home. Hurrah! So I technically did get a free holiday :) Thank you, George and Abraham! 

Xoxo, Meagan

 Sundays may be my favorite day of the week: it's a day to recover from the events Saturday held and a day to relax and prepare for the upcoming week. The time on Sundays just seems to move a little slower and I love taking full advantage of that.

The best way to cap off the weekend is sitting down and cuddling up in a blanket to watch Downton Abbey. Such a good, juicy show! I can't believe it's the season finale already :( I guess I'll have to find another show to get wrapped up in for the time being!
