It’s (already!) the last week of May, which makes it week 5 of my #LYBLforLess challenge. I’ve been having so much fun doing this that I decided to make a calendar for June as well. Thanks to all of you who have been participating–I’ve seen some fun, creative outfits on Instagram (looking at you Alexandra and Mica!).
Here are this week’s prompts for the end of May and the beginning of June. I’d love for you to join me in any or all of these ideas, aimed at fostering more creativity, style, and contentment in your life.
{May 28} Weekly Outfit Inspiration. I’ll share a blog post this week for some style inspiration for these prompts.
- Layer with chambray
- Dress + vest
- Jean jacket
{May 29} Take a technology break and be more present with loved ones today.
{May 30} Budget Dinner @ Home: Buffalo Chicken Wraps (from Tasty Kitchen).
- Tip: these are great leftover. Either buy extra tortillas to make the wraps again, or chop up the chicken (and other toppings you used) and put in a salad for a great next day lunch.
{May 31} LYBL – Set goals for June and assess your May accomplishments. Stay tuned for my monthly goals blog post on Thursday.
{June 1} LYBL – Make a “reading wishlist” of 5 books you want to read this summer. (And maybe add a couple to your library hold list.)
- I’ve already done this, but I have 20 books on my list. I know I won’t make it through all of them, but dream big, right? #Ihaveaproblem
{June 2} Do something nice and unexpected for your significant other or friend.
{June 3} Healthy snack: make a smoothie. Here are a few I’d like to try.
I’d love for you to join in! If you try any of these, be sure to tag me (@shealennon) and use #LYBLforLess.
Also, for all you expecting mamas out there, don’t forget that Mica from Away from the Blue has written an awesome eBook on how to have a stylish pregnancy on a budget. The best part is that this book won’t bust your budget either–it’s just $2.95. It’s filled with tips, outfit ideas, and helpful worksheets… it almost makes me wish I were pregnant again. Almost. Ha!
