OOTD – June 17 <3

Top: RW & Co (this spring)
Black bermuda shorts: Jacob
Zebra print flats: Vianni Collection — from Joneve

The past few days I’ve been psyching myself out over this stupid 5k run that I’m doing this weekend. I have absolutely no need to freak out – what training is done, is done. I’m prepared for this and I know that I can be a speedy runner if I keep my negative thoughts out of my head. It IS all mental. I know I can turn on the jets and do that 5k. But I don’t know how realistic it is to do it in 25 minutes. Sure, that’s my goal and if I reach it I’ll buy myself something pretty. But if I don’t, it’s fine too. Not every race needs to have a personal record beaten. But it would be nice ;)

Today marks the 5 year anniversary of the Boyf and I dating. Flew by, that’s for sure – and it’s the longest relationship that either of us has been in! We had plans on Monday to eat out because we knew this week was jam packed busy, especially tonight. It’s the last day of Alfie’s Obedience training.

Anyone watch soccer this morning? Argentina and South Korea? Boy that guy is fast, and looks a lot older than 23 — I thought he was in his forties! HAH. I watched the first half while getting ready for work this morning, and saw the 2 goals for Argentina go in, and then saw South Korea have a fluky goal (okay not really fluke, but Argentina’s defense definitely didn’t see it coming). Argentina came back strong to win it 4-1. I didn’t have a chance to see those.

Have an awesome Thursday guys!

OOTD – June 16

Top: Jacob
Scarf: Old Navy
Pants: Dynamite
Shoes: Haven’t chosen them yet! :)

I watch the World Cup in the mornings — Chile and Honduras are playing right now, I can definitely see a “level” difference in their abilities, compared to some of the other countries I’ve been watching the last few days…

It’s still early, I’m not at work and I don’t know what shoes to pair with this. Probably the same as yesterday. We finally have our bath tub re-tiled, and I was allowed to use the shower head (we had to bathe in the tub the past few days. Very difficult to wash one’s hair when there is no shower head to use!).

Question: Are you getting sick of these outfit of the days? Answer anonymously if you want. I have no idea what you like/don’t like. Do tell though!

Jenna would be proud to see me wearing this get-up this morning. The tee and scarf I received as a Birthday present from my bestie. I’ve been wearing this scarf folded in half for the longest time, unknowingly I was doubling it over and it’s actually a pretty long scarf! So glad to figure that out. Though, the second picture where I’m holding Alfie, I remind myself of a Girl Guide!! Except in purple, and not blue.

Oh Wednesday. It’s half way through the work week at least.  This one is goin’ sloooow. Like molasses.

OOTD – June 14 & 15

Sweater top thing: H&M. I bet it’d look nicer with a belt wrapped around my waist or hips, but I don’t have one
Shorts: Old Navy
Shoes: Michael Kors flats (these ones) forgot to take a picture
Watch: Fossil Stella

Getting photos of outfits of the day can be time consuming, especially when you have a dog launching at your knee caps in the a.m. Yesterday he didn’t want to be put in his crate when I was about to leave for work and he took a huge leap of faith and bounced over the baby gate we have set up for him so he can’t get into the hallway/bedroom and bathroom. Little frigger man, he’s learning how to do that. Makes me not trust him even more when I want to try and leave him alone for a few hours while I’m at work. Crate time for another little while. He’s so tiny so he gets into the smallest little crevices and eats everything he finds. His own fur balls, little pieces of dirt, and stuff that I haven’t seen before. Where does he find it all!

Cardigan: Old Navy (old news, right? I seem to wear this a lot in pictures.)
Tank: H&M
Necklace: Forever 21
Skirt: Some boutique in town that doesn’t exist anymore
Shoes: Seychelles — Moment of Truth,  bought at Browns online

So curious as to what I do in the a.m. That’s his What?! face lol.

Over the weekend I went to the mall to kill some time, because it was a mucky humid rainy day and I didn’t want to venture out for a walk or run, and Scott was doing a century ride (100 miles? Either way it ended up being 164km’s) on his power cranks. Jeeze that boy has some crazy strong legs. SO! I went shopping. Of course.

I noticed La Senza had a sign in the front of their store saying SALE — what stores never have that? I swear, it’s just a marketing gimmick to lure people in. Well it worked, because they had bras on sale for $9.99 each and 10 undies for $30, or maybe it was $25. Everything wasn’t all picked through either, so it must have just started yesterday. I ended up picking out three new bras for myself and couldn’t use my La Senza stamp card because they were under $15 each. By the way, Canadians — this card will expire at the end of this year and we will no longer be able to get free bras!

I had my fitness assessment done to re-evaluate my measurements after work yesterday too. Blog post coming up about that. The gym I attend offers this for free every three months, but I just haven’t booked an appointment until now. Maybe I’ll do a before and after on my measurements on how much or how little things have changed since January. I wrote about it back then, but I never did speak about it in detail. I also booked it with another trainer, because if you read my previous entry, you’ll know I wasn’t impressed with the gymnast who liked to compare each other’s bodies.

Hope you all had a fantastic day at work! Don’t forget about my Lululemon giveaway!
