Monday Vibes
In addition to all of the craziness with the job situation and thinking that we were moving, and then figuring out that we weren't moving I forgot to mention that we also have had houseguests for the last nearly 3 weeks - which although was wonderful - meant that you better believe I thoroughly enjoyed this past weekend of down time with just the husband and the fur babes.
I know you may not believe me, but, I truly am a homebody at heart. And I LOVE quiet. So on Saturday when I had almost the entire day to myself with zero people in the house I was in 7th Heaven.
*Side note - remember that show?! So good!*
I digress.
Anyway, where I am going with this is that after a recharging weekend and a little nap this morning after I taught my 7am cycle class I feel energized and ready for the busy week ahead!
And lets be real, that does not always happen on Mondays, so I am pretty pumped.
I am also pumped about this collaboration with Motifs here in Portland, which is where this dress and adorable backpack/purse are from.
Not to mention the fact that you can still enter to win a $25 gift certificate to the boutique!
Yup, that's right - free shopping $$.
I mean...who ever said no to free shopping?!
Not someone who I consider a friend that's for sure.

I personally would suggest this dress - it fits beautifully and flows so easily as you move. Definitely a staple if you have an office job or for business meetings.
And I have to admit I was surprised by how much I loved the backpack.
I have seen people using them while traveling and never thought I could pull it off - they always seems a bit "momish" to me. But when I saw this one at Motifs I thought I would give it a try (and if you know me, or read my blog often you know I am always hesitant to try new things) and I am so happy I did!
The straps detach so you could easily carry this as more of a tote, do the over the one shoulder look or wear it as a full backpack.
If I had an office job this would absolutely be my go to bag for the to and from work life.
What do you think? Backpacks or no?
Would love to hear your thoughts.
Happy Monday!
And also, just a reminder, for the Motifs Giveaway winners will be chosen this week on Friday July 20th!
