It’s been a while since I’ve worn such a tight and short mini skirt. But as I said in my How I Lost 40lb post, my weight is pretty much back to before I got pregnant with Chloe, so I feel confident enough to wear such a fitted mini skirt! I’m pairing this mini skirt with a loose effortless sweater, so it looks a lot more casual. And as you guys know, I’ve also been obsessed with these white flats. (As seen here!) I love how they make an outfit look more preppy and sporty. Not to mention, I’ve got my whole team to start wearing white sneakers! This plaid high waisted mini skirt is great because it can be such a statement piece but here I’m keeping it casual for Monday meetings!
Also, I’m drinking coffee again. Although I quit coffee for a year because of pregnancy and breastfeeding, it was very hard to go without it because of my demanding work hours (and Chloe hours)! Before, Chloe would fall asleep at 2am and wake at 5am, but I’d have work at 10am so I really didn’t have any chance to sleep. (Luckily her sleeping schedule is more normalized now!) I usually try to get lattes with almond or coconut milk just to get a small energy boost, and black coffee if I really need the caffeine. Black coffee is awesome because it’s low in calories and is great for your metabolism, so I like to take it before working out.
Wishing you guys a short Monday and hope your coffee game is strong! Have a great week!

That ring is so cool! Scratch that…this whole look is so cool! You have such a way for chic and easy style! http://www.chasingbelle.com
Chriselle beautiful look, as usual.
I’m a massive fan of yours, I enjoy your Instagram and I love chole’s snapchat lol(she has taken over).
I have a question and hope you are not offended and can answer. What advice would you give to someone starting a blog, who does not have connections or money to market? I’m asking for the average girls such as myself who have a small social media following and not a lot of money to spend on branding and no industry connections. I have (in my opinion) high quality pictures(Dslr), my site is updated and nice. I have also joined look book, chictopia, and Google+ but what I find is just every other blogger is up and coming and trying to follow for follow which builds a inactive following(followers who don’t even read, like or look at your post), they lack general interest and are so obsessed with getting the next follow they don’t care about who to follow. I know this is lengthy but I hope you can give some tips on just everyday minor (free to inexpensive) tips on getting your blog to viewers and building a following.
love your shoes and bag!

I love seeing your Monday look, I also quit coffee during my first pregnancy. So after giving birth, literally when my husband asked me what do I want, I was screamed for a java chip frappuccino. But during my second, I had a cup of coffee almost everyday. I have asked my doctor about it, she said it was okay. So I can relate.
I love your outfit Chriselle! Good morning!
