Happy “Friday” to me!

2 Comments

Not really Friday, because it’s Wednesday. Canada Day is tomorrow, but I still have to work on the real Friday. Such a confusing work week, but welcomed holiday. Much needed.

So my brutal burn has turned into an unexpected tan. I’m multi-tasking here and talking to my Mom on the phone, cooking supper and modeling my new tan for you all. Fancy fancy. I haven’t been working out regularly since my 5k race on Father’s Day except for the soccer games I play in. So I decided to kick it up and go back to the gym and do a Boot Camp class (for the first time in a few months) — sure I got my ass whooped but the class somewhat flew by and I feel great this morning. Not sluggish at all!

Funny how when you skip the gym or a workout for … oh I don’t know, two months and just keep running that you feel worn out. Exercise = energy just like Kelly talked about on her blog yesterday!

Then of course I fueled up with some asparagus wrapped in chicken with some roasted red pepper something or other Kraft salad dressing drizzle on top.

Chomp down! Can’t wait for supper tonight. Mmmm my belly loves food.

Don’t forget to enter my DownEast Basics (clothing) giveaway — you have until July 5.

I was too lazy to take a photo of my outfit on Monday this work week but pretend that you saw me wearing something other than shorts. Which is entirely true, I wore leggings with a long cardigan to work then.

So here’s Tuesday til Friday. I went shopping at lunch yesterday which is why there are two photos of me on Friday. Had to sport the new scarf :) Post soon about my purchases maybe?

On Friday I had a bunch of accessories on  and even wore a necklace (rare)! Check out the key necklace that I bought from Etsy. Want one?

Work week clothing was very monochromatic this week. Very boring browns and whites, and unintentional. I liked my outfit a lot on Friday! Next week will be colorful.

Find out what I wore on Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday: BR Cardigan, Abercrombie tank, Mexx capris, Aldo flats, White Fossil Stella watch. | Friday: Old navy top, Mexx scarf, Mexx belt, GAP pants, BR purse, cheapy sunnies, Black Fossil Stella watch, and some brown’s flats.

Also had to attach my Banana Republic clutch that I carried on Friday. Beauty right? That’s for you running buddy!

Have a good morning!! I think I’ll take a nap later.

OOTD – June 23

8 Comments

Top: Joe Fresh. I actually purchased this shirt from a grocery store for $10!
Watch: Fossil
Shorts: Dynamite
Giraffe Shoes: Joneve (bought the same time as my zebra shoes)

I read my comments from my last OOTD post and I have to agree, I need to branch out of wearing these shorts all summer long. I only own two skirts that are work appropriate (to my knees) and I only like one of them which I posted a week-ish ago. I find dresses are a bit uncomfortable and my legs stick together when I sit down in a warm office environment. That and the fact they swirl around my waist and I always have to adjust them. I do have some pants picked out for tomorrow or Friday, I forget which. So I’ll at least be mixing it up a bit!

I ended up buying a few things on my lunch break today, which also happened to be a dress (not work appropriate in my opinion, it’s a bit too short) but it’s nice none the less.  Pictures will be below!


Closeup of my watch, top and shoes:


I tried on these jeans a week or so ago at H&M, but didn’t end up purchasing them because they were full price at $50. I went in today (mainly to go to Bath and Body Works because of their sale) and stopped in. Low and behold, those jeans were 50 freaking percent off! 50% yo! So I picked them up. They look nice. Won’t be seeing me wearing a white t-shirt wearing these pantaloons. Stain the shiznit right out of them.

Nice butt pants. Forgive… couldn’t decide which picture to post, so here they all are. I assume these would be classified under the “Skinny Jeans” genre? Get with the times, Nancy.

The front of the jeans:

Oo la la. Scott, take me out on a date! I need to wear these seksi genes.

I suppose you’d like to see the dress I purchased? It reminds me of the peacock dress I tried on and returned. But this is much more fitting, and nice, and too short to wear to work. I’ll be bringing this one with me to my trip out west this summer!

Okay. So I promise it looks much nicer and probably not as short as it shows in these photos. Self-portrait mode is difficult when you have a flailing dog bouncing around you.

Dress wearing outside:

By the way, Bath & Body Works are re-doing their packaging and coming out with new scents, therefor they’re having a huge sale on … everything in their store. The soaps are $2.50 instead of $5.50!

Mmm yummy scented flavors.

Have a good evening all!
