Inspiration Monday - Springing forward

Happy Monday everyone!  I'm currently enjoying a fabulous day off from work.  I ran into the whole "you have too much time off saved up again" problem so my boss insisted I take a day off (I know, I know, and my diamond shoes are too tight and my wallet is too big for my 50s - bonus to you if you know what that is from.).  I have a few more days coming later in the month, but for now I'm kind of glad to be off on a Monday for a change - as I mentioned on Friday, Spring Forward always kicks my behind.  So it feels good to have an extra day to try to get used to this!  I'm also keeping this a "Me day."  Lately when I've taken days off I've made a bunch of plans which has been very nice, but today I just wanted all for me.

Anyway, enough about all that!  It's Inspiration Monday with two birds and they chose this bright Springy look from Olivia Palmero here.


Now because I'm off of work today, I pretty much don't plan on getting out of my PJs and am milking this "Me Day" for as much as it's worth, but I knew I would want to do this ahead of time, so I dressed for this inspiration on Friday instead.  As soon as I saw this outfit, I knew that I'd be incorporating this scarf somehow.


The colors in this scarf are just so cheery and happy!  Because it was Friday, I did dress down a bit, but I think it still works with the inspiration picture pretty well. The layers were nice too because lately it's been getting really warm in my office in the afternoon, but it's rather cold in the morning.  This gave me options!

Well I'm back to my day.  I really love that the most difficult decision I'll have to make today is whether to watch Mamma Mia or Rent!
