Jewel Tone Tuesday

Back to work. Here are my neutrals with a pop of jewel tone color...

Swiss Dotted button up - The Gap
Mossimo sweater vest - Target
Mossimo pencil skirt - Target
Dollhouse peep-toe heels - Ross
Purple suede belt - Target
Jewel-tone necklace - Target (can you tell I love Target?)

First I'd like to say that I am so happy I have pics up on the walls now. Will and I have now been living together for one full month and I still have more to do to the new place. The decorating and settling seems to take forever especially if you have 2 different styles merging into one. Our guest bedroom looks like a storage closet. We finally went through most of it this past weekend and organized it into 3 piles (keep, throw away, and garage sale). We still have a few boxes that don't have a home and I still have a few pictures that need hanging, but I am confident we'll get it done soon. We have some of Will's family staying with us for Thanksgiving so we have to get it done! Garage sale is next week though. Hopefully I can make a little moo-lah and clear out a lot of stuff. We decided that whatever doesn't sell, we'll donate to charity.


So not only is merging styles tough, merging diets is tough too. I really feel like I have been slacking on my diet. I use to be so good at planning my healthy meals. I'd cook almost every night and have enough for lunch the next day. Now my grocery shopping days are off. I can't seem to but the right amount and then I have to go back to the store to reshop. I feel like I never make enough food and my healthy meals get a little boring for him. He loves his chips, ramen noodles, dessert, and Tang (yeah, remember that stuff?). For the most part I stayed away from it at first, but now that it's in the house all the time, I struggle with the temptation. The funny thing is, I don't even care for chips. I just get stuck on that salty/sweet roller coaster and don't know how to get off. I need help! I know we've been though some stress with just trying to organize things and trying to find a routine for us. I really hope we finally get back on track and I start eating better again. At least I still manage to make it to the gym 3-4 days a week. I'd be in real trouble if I didn't.


I know I haven't been the easiest person when it comes to schedules. Will is very organized. He likes his "to do" list, organizers, spreadsheets, and 8 hours of sleep. I like to go, go, go... plan as I go, and I only need 5-6 hours of sleep. I know my night owl ways and my social calendar are killing him. I'm really trying to limit the events we go to, but with family and close friends near by, we just get pulled in so many directions.


So how long is it gonna take for us to get into a groove? Does anyone have any advice for the newly wed?
