Happy Monday y’all! Can you believe that this week will be MAY?! Where is 2019 going, it’s crazy! Warmer weather keeps peeking into the city off and on, and I’m ready for it to be here to stay without a jacket. To kick off the week, I’m sharing this striped sundress that’s perfect for spring and summer. It has a different off the shoulder silhouette than the typical version, and I’m obsessed with the color pattern that just screams vacation to me. I paired it with my trusty white cowboy boots and circle straw tote. Set for spring!

Since today is a Monday and I’m sure it’ll be the Monday of all Monday’s, I felt the need to share a few tips + tricks I have to make Monday more productive. This is a do-as-I-say-not-as-I-do sort of thing here as I was running out of bed at the last minute and didn’t take advantage of my Sunday to do anything other than sleep all day, but hopefully these tidbits help you power through that Monday of yours! What do y’all think? Have a great day and thanks for reading!

1. Make yourself get up earlier than normal and get your day started. Whether you’re ambitious enough to catch an early morning work out, or just waking up to get your morning coffee started, even just 20 minutes of extra you-time will help set your day on the right foot.

2. Go into the day with a more positive outlook than usual. Cheesy, I know, but everyone is always in such a bad mood on Monday’s for obvious reasons! What if everyone made the extra effort to try and just make it a positive day instead of dreading it’s arrival?

3. Schedule something at the end of the day that you’re excited about. So that you have something to look forward to, schedule something exciting at the end of the day whether it be a nail appointment, drinks with a friend, or a call with someone that you don’t get to speak to as often. This will keep you workin’ towards that goal to end your day on a high-note.
