I’m officially out of work and exactly one week away from starting school. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t enjoying the time off, so I’m glad I took the week as a “staycation.” After all, I have a lot to do this week!
I’ve put together a lengthy list of things that I need to get done. None of these tasks are overly interesting or exciting on their own, which is probably why I’ve put them off until now. That said, I’ve already been able to check a few things off my to-do list. Woot, woot!
In addition to enjoying some much needed down time, I love the weather we’ve been having in Toronto. Warm weather means it’s patio season and time to break out my summer skirts and dresses.
Here’s to a week of transitions, to-do’s and relaxation!

OMG, I absolutely live in my oversized denim jacket, so I’m loving this combo ( obviously! ). I need to get a little denim jacket for layering over dresses this spring/summer. I love the fit of yours! xx
Jackie says
So funny, but I actually really want an oversized denim jacket too!!

Sometimes staycations can be just as amazing as real vacations, anytime you get a break from work its a good thing. That dress looks so pretty on you!

Agreed! I actually find that after a “real” vacation, I tend to need time to unwind and I never can!

Hey Jackie! Oh, aren’t to-do lists so empowering?! I live by them! If I didn’t, I would never get a thing done. I get too distracted by things I like! Pretty spring look! I love the dress and colors!
