Double Up

I hope y'all had a great weekend!  Mine was wonderful and full of football.  I've been doing a cleanse for the past 10 days and I finally was able to have a cheat day.  I never thought that depriving myself of my favorite food and drink would actually make me feel better, but I've had such a great experience that I think I will actually repeat it every three months.  My headaches, moodiness, and fatigue and pretty much out of the picture and I feel great. Am going to stay on a modified version of it as long as I can.

In other news, I bought this super cute and super cheap peplum top from H&M a few days back.  I loved it so much that I went back and bought it in black, too.  I wore this outfit to a business meeting last week and ended up in it again over the weekend.  I really didn't think I would fall as far as I have for this trend but I just love the silhouette it gives me with both pants and skirts.  I like higher waist things, so it actually works really well for me if I can tuck it into a full, a line, or circle skirt.









Top: H&M (in store only)
Denim: The Limited
Heels: Banana Republic Mad Men Collection (old)
Clutch: Mimi Boutique, similar
Earrings: H&M (not avail. online)
Bracelets: J.Crew, vintage Hermes

    1. It kind of blouses out in the front because of the pleating, so it gives the illusion that I have boobs. SWEET!

    1. They were my favorite item! I've been searching for a turquoise earring that didn't look southwestern and these are awesome (but very heavy).

  4. Great top Sarah! I'm a huge fan of cleanses now too, did one a few months back and it's amazing how different and 'clear' you feel - turns out I'm a TOTAL sugar-fiend which resulted in mad sugar-withdrawl-headaches 2 days in... worth it though!

    1. The system I used had a replacement drink for morning and i never got a single headache. My cleanse is over, but I am still off coffee, dairy, and white flour. I feel sooooo much better.
