Long Black Tunic

/

What's happening everyone? Hope life has ben treating you well lately! I've slowly been getting back on my feet after being sick. Turns out I had pneumonia forming - go figure. But I'm on the mend and back in business. 

What do you think of this top? It's under $20! I love a head to toe black moment. I live in these leggings lately - not only are they comfortable, but the fabric has a cool shiny look, and they're high-waisted so they're slimming (and hide Gertrude). The perfect pair for dressing up or down - a must have in my opinion. I love how this top just flows over these leggings. Such an easy look that's still chic. You could easily put this look together with things in your closet - nice leggings and a longer tunic. If I have any ostomy friends reading, it's perfect for hiding everything - these leggings are my favorite for that very reason. 

How are your New Year's Resolutions going so far? I'll be honest I give myself a B- on mine. This year I wanted to become more organized in all aspects of life, and be healthier. I'm proud to admit the organization is off to a better start than I expected! I cleaned out my closet (oh my gosh I hope you saw the video on my InstaStory sharing the after), I've been better at organizing my calendar and events, and for health, I've not only stuck to all my routine appointments, but I've made appointments to see holistic doctors, acupuncture, etc. - anything to help make myself as healthy as possible. 

Speaking of the new year, is there anything you want to see more or less of on Sweet & Sauer? I have some ideas of more things I want to include, but I also want to hear from you! Nothing is off limits, I'd love to hear what you'd like to see more of on the blog. 

P.S. Did you check out the awesome feature Ostomy Connection did on Sweet & Sauer? So cool to be featured! Check it out here.

Have a great week!

Hi friends! I failed once again at blogging last week. Why, you ask? STILL SICK. I've seriously had this annoying cold/virus situation for the last six weeks. It's super frustrating. Ok, enough complaining. 

I'd say nine out of ten times you can find me in some version of jeans and a t-shirt. It's my go to outfit and what I feel most comfortable in. And the best part is, you can dress the combo up or down. 

I've been eyeing (and loving) all the cool Adidas pieces lately. I recently was shopping with my girlfriends, and one of them bought this tee. Ever since, I could not get this darn t-shirt out of my head - so I caved and bought one for myself. I've been living in it ever since. I love the versatility that graphic tees provide. So far I've worn this one with leggings and sneakers, jeans, and (my favorite) leather pants. A simple shoe or pant change can take t-shirts from drab to fab (did I really just use that cliche phrase?). Best part about graphic tees? You don't need to do much else! Sometimes it's fun to add a sparkly bauble or other fun accessories, but totally not necessary. Sometimes it's easier to let graphic tees speak for themselves. I've linked this one and some other fun graphic tees in the tool below.

Hope you all had a fun weekend!

It's no secret that I LOVE head to toe black. It's my go-to look every single time I feel like I have nothing to wear (which happens way more often than I'd like to admit). Everyone looks good in all black. Seriously. The monochromatic look can feel boring at times, so I like to mix it up with fun accessories or interesting silhouettes. I absolutely LOVE the open back of this top. It's super sassy and perfect for a date night. Flare jeans are something I never thought I would wear after 2005 but I was pleasantly surprised by this pair! They made my legs feel super long and had a bit of a sliming effect - which is total opposite from what I expected. I guess it's true what they say, everything comes back around. Glad I gave flares one more try!

Did you have a good 4th of July weekend? My weekend was pretty low key. We spent the 4th at the pool and the rest of the weekend just hanging out and relaxing. I've deemed this week 'get my life together' week where I do all that fun adult stuff I've been putting off, like the laundry that's been starting at me for the last week (tell me I'm not the only one guilty of this). I haven't been feeling well lately so I've gotten behind on some things. I'm actually thinking about posting another health related post, but haven't completely decided yet.... stay tuned. 

Have a great week!
