soak it in

On a Sunday afternoon while the sunlight streams in, I sit with my wet hair newly combed at the dining table, my feet in fuzzy socks propped up on the seat across from me. As I open my computer, Daniel hums along with the 90's pop Pandora station while he works on grad school. 

Today is productive, slow paced, and lovely. Usually on quiet Sundays like this I have a bit of an underlying nagging worry that I haven't done something yet, whether that's the laundry, baking muffins, giving myself some creative time, or calling someone. 

But today, there's no nagging feeling and I am content and I just soak. it. in.

  Before moving on, before checking my to do list, before letting the feeling pass- I dig into it.

                   

 I let it warm me up from the tips of my toes to the top of my head like a deep breath. I hold onto it, looking out at the wind blowing through the trees and the sun streaking across the park, and try to savor this peace so I can savor it all week.

Do you let yourself grab up those moments? To rest in them for a moment, content and joyful, a little hum in your soul?

I'm soaking up this one.

This style is an absolute classic for me for work, brunch, church, and family get togethers. I love a patterned dress that accentuates the waist paired with a solid cardigan and boots. A twisty half-updo and beaded hoop earrings compliment the look. I am enjoying more leggings-less dress styles now that spring is coming. For more spring dress looks, check out this layered striped look and his & hers spring florals.
