A few weeks back, the Washington Post ran an article about a man who retired at age 30. Meet Mr. Money Mustache, whose blog about smart living and financial independence has me hooked!

Here are some of my favorite posts:
Happy reading! Are you as intrigued as I? I haven’t been reading much else this week…

Simple colors sometimes feel tired. What else makes an outfit interesting besides colors and prints?
Try contrasting shapes and textures. Today a loose, flowing top is worn over a form-fitting pencil skirt, with a gray t-shirt scarf adding interest at the neckline. Worn with blue earrings and silver jewelry.
