It's March Madness time aka one of the best times of the year! My alma mater, UNC, is a #1 seed which makes the tournament SO much fun to keep up with. Super proud of my team for winning the ACC tournament last weekend and really hoping they can keep playing as good as they have been lately and go all the way to the championship! I make a bracket every year just for fun and also so I can brag if I beat my husband ;)

My favorite work outfit this week. These adorable polka dot pants from Banana Republic are sold out online. Did you know you get 50% off one item at Kendra Scott during your birthday month?! I took advantage of that amazing deal in November and snagged this hot pink necklace. I've worn it so much more than I thought I would!

Two of my favorite bloggers/instagrammers/fellow IVF'ers posted amazing thoughts recently that I had to share. Amanda @ Little Miss Fearless posted about body image and it struck a nerve in me. As women I think we all struggle with this to some extent and I've been really struggling lately. Eleni @ Convey the Moment posted about her thoughts on Instagram and how picture perfect everyone's lives seem on social media. She reminded me that comparison really is the thief of joy.

This week UNC baseball came to Greenville to play ECU. It was so much fun seeing all of G's old coaches and one of his best friends is now an assistant coach. We loved wearing our light blue in the sea of purple, especially since UNC won 17-4 ;) It was so bittersweet to be sitting beside my husband for a UNC baseball game. I was so used to sitting in the stands cheering for him while he was out on the field, brought back so many sweet memories from college.

My family got sushi Wednesday night and we got 26 rolls for 6 people and ate every.single.bite. So delicious!
Your sushi game is strong girl...you did me proud LOL!! Love what you wore to work...that's pretty much my uniform too lol! xo, Biana -BlovedBoston
ReplyDeleteYay for ALL of the sushi!!! I'm glad that you got some inspiration from the fellow bloggers--it's easy for things to look picture perfect (no one takes or posts pics of bad times), so you never know someone else's battle. Loving your polka dot pants! You're too cute :)
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great weekend!
Love the Kendra Scott necklace - and the sushi (one can never have too much sushi). This Kentucky girl almost didn't comment with all of this UNC talk but that wouldn't have been nice! :-) Have a good weekend.
ReplyDeleteThat sushi looks AMAZING! And I totally give up on Baylor…heavy sigh! Hoping our Lady Bears will handle it (yet again) for us!
ReplyDeleteWhoa! That's some serious sushi!! haha It all looks wonderful though! Hooray for a UNC win!
ReplyDeleteugh look at all that sushi - give it to me! and yay for supporting your alma mater! although i am a UK fan so this is going to be the one time where we will be not on the same page haha. have a great weekend girly!

Heck yes, March Madness is here! So very exciting, good luck to your team, I have them going to the Final Four in all of my brackets. Your sushi looks divine, I really want some now.
ReplyDeleteI agree with insta/blog pictures. It's quite funny how much people can change their lives by what they post online. They can be the picture of happiness/joy/ and good will but really be whiny and complainy in life. Comparing doesn't do anyone any good at all. Have a great day!
I'm getting sushi for dinner tonight and I'm beyond excited. Mm
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend girl!
Your UNC baseball game looked like a lot of fun!! Your sushi snaps had me laughing - Ella James was so funny with her chop sticks! Have a great weekend :)
ReplyDeleteI had no idea about that KS deal - I can't wait until October now ;) I also LOOOOVE those polka-dotted pants. I will be on the lookout for something similar. Good luck to your Tar Heels!!

My bracket is already totally screwed up from Baylor losing to Yale! I have UNC for sure going to the Final Four!! I can't remember what I did after that haha.

Oh my, that pink necklace is gorgeous and I love you outfit! Too cute!! Happy Friday :)
ReplyDeleteLove your pink necklace, it goes so well with your outfit! Hope your Tar Heels win!
ReplyDeleteWe love all things UNC around here. I've got a UNC/Kansas final in my bracket too, but almost hoping I'm wrong about playing Kansas. Was glad to see UNCW holding so tightly to the game with Duke yesterday though!
ReplyDeleteHave a fun weekend!
Love your positive attitude.

Sushi. Yum. Good luck to UNC! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteUNC themed FoFs are my fav! My favorite sushi place in Raleigh burned down earlier this year, but they're starting to rebuild and I couldn't be more excited. I love that Kendra Scott does the half off birthday deal. I always make sure to take advantage!
ReplyDeleteI want to dive into that sushi pic SO HARD!!!
ReplyDeleteLove your work outfit! That KS necklace is the perfect pop of color!! That sushi looks AMAZING!!

I am loving your outfit - especially the pop of pink!! That sushi looks amazing, how fun!
ReplyDeleteUNC better win! I have them going all the way too!! How fun that you got to go to a baseball game!! That's awesome and totally bittersweet!
ReplyDeleteI love everything about this post! Your outfit, that sushi, and all the Carolina stuff. I'm a Pirate for life, but I do always like seeing Carolina win. xo, Champagne&Suburbs
ReplyDeleteLove all of this! Except the March Madness talk - my bracket has been beyond blown with all of the upsets and my Alma Mater Michigan State loosing... boo! And I totally agree about comparison being a thief of joy - and social media makes this all the more relevant. This is one of the many reasons why I deleted my Facebook (I was spending way too much time stalking people I hardly knew and getting upset because they bought a home before me, lol - what the heck is my problem?!! Had to nip that one in the bud real fast...)
ReplyDeleteBanana has so many cute things right now! I have a gift card burning a hole in my pocket and think a visit is in order! I'm a UVA alum, so right now I'm rooting for them, BUT, if they don't make it to the top, I'd gladly root for UNC! So glad to have rediscovered your blog! I made sure to "Follow" so that your posts will shop up in my reader!
ReplyDeleteGood luck on your bracket. Not doing one this year
ReplyDeleteLOVE your necklace and outfit
Loving that baseball is back
Ready to cheer loud for UNC tomorrow, I know you are excited! Loving that outfit! Xo, Stephanie
