*Let me start by saying that the response to yesterday’s post was incredibly heartwarming. Not only do you guys know how to boost a girl’s confidence {not what I intended the post to do but thank you!}, but it seems that lots of you have entered 2014 feeling the same way. I felt so much better reading through each and every comment, taking a deep breath, getting in a hot yoga session, and spending the night just being still. I woke up feeling a huge sense of relief, not only from filling you guys in on what has been weighing on me but taking your advice and not putting so much pressure on myself. There is no timeline, there is only today. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Living in a frozen tundra, seriously you guys there is proof here, makes it difficult to envision any sort of sunshine or warmth on the horizon. The only sense of relief I have is from the resort collections currently flooding my favorite stores and dreaming of ways to incorporate brighter pieces into my current rotation. Here are 4 outfits to help inspire you to lighten up your looks, whether or not you have to throw on tights or bundle up with a puffy coat, too!
