I know it’s been quiet on the blog lately but trust me when I say it’s been oh-so-not quiet in my life. We recently wrapped up a week of my sister’s family being in town with us and it was all sorts of fun, amazing and exhausting!
After hosting them for the entire week, I was ready for some self-care time so I took a few hours to myself on Saturday. Let’s call it my “self care day”.
My self care day looked like going shopping and taking myself out to dinner. It was quiet, relaxing and very refreshing!
I found a couple of corduroy dresses which I bought for myself on sale at Kohls. Each dress was only $11!
The dress above was an XL! This was hard to believe since a majority of the dresses I own are 2X and 3X. Fitting into a dress that was an XL was such a surprise to me!
While it technically fit, it was still much too small for my comfort so I bought it knowing that I won’t be wearing it yet, but I know I will be wearing it soon as I lose more weight.
The dress below is the same style just different color and a size up, XXL. This is a dress that I will be wearing now since it’s a much more comfortable fit.
I also bought a pair of these flowy comfy pants. I am going a little out of my comfort zone by wearing them with a shirt tucked in.
Since I have an apron belly, I typically want to cover it up but this didn’t look too bad to me. I bought the pants and hope to be brave enough to wear them, soon!
After a few hours of shopping, I took myself out to dinner. I got the “you pick two” at Panera Bread with a Bacon Turkey Bravo and Broccoli Cheddar Soup. This has been my go-to order for over 15 years now.
I got a cinnamon roll to go, which I ended up sharing with my husband when I got home.
While I was at Target, I decided to give an Olipop a try. No regrets! It was so good and only 50 calories!
Saturday was a good reset for me, and I’m excited for a more routine-based week ahead!
