When I grabbed these pants off of the clearance rack at LOFT a couple weeks back I was totally pumped while standing at the register.. They scanned to be only $8.99. 

Eight Dollars and Change.  Totally my lucky day!  The tag was marked down, but not THAT low.  I was frantic to throw something else in my {pile} of clothes awaiting to make their home in my overstuffed closet.  I had justification because these pants were less than ten bucks. 

Shortly after my quick spree through LOFT I came to realize this justification of my own is equivalent to that of many of my nutrition clients..

I’m gonna go ahead and get the larger sized fry because I’m drinking a Diet Coke. 

You wouldn’t believe the amount of times I’ve heard that one.  It is not Diet Coke that randomly expands your waistline, my dear.  Its the fat in those fries.

Either way you justify- I got a pair of earrings in addition to these colored skinnies. 

It took me just moments to figure out how I would pair this top.. my most favorite spring-y top in polka dots (also from LOFT- last season) .  The red and the navy kind of gives it a nautical feel, no?

Throw on some sandals or grey TOMS and I’m ready to set sail.

What I would give to be on a boat right now with my bestest and her hubby.. enjoying a nice bevi while basking in the rays. 

Someone needs to buy me a boat. 

Maybe it will be on sale.
