If I have to get out of bed on a Monday morning, I might as well keep things cozy.

Another morning motivator: coming back from last week’s unplanned hiatus! If you follow me on Instagram or Snapchat (username: SkirtTheRules), you probably saw that I went on a quick getaway to Bermuda. Turns out, a weekend vacation didn’t feel long enough and I decided to take a break from the blog. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, right?

Speaking of absence, it’s been a few months since I last rocked a poncho (see my fall version here). I picked up this grey and pink striped wrap recently and lived in it all weekend long. I love the hint of spring it brings – the perfect transition piece during this “Is-winter-over-yet?!” time of the year. P.S. It also comes in a bolder set of stripes and is on major sale for $36 right now! Because we could all use a little spring in our lives.
