OOTD June 22

Closeup of the shoes.

I should really move that ottoman hey? It always cuts off my left leg, and I never seem to move it out of the way :)

This is definitely an el cheapõ outfit. Looked much better in my mind than on me (very baggy it seems?). However, that’s the beauty of picking out your work outfits for the week on Sunday nights. Thankfully I did because I usually set my alarm for 6am, and this morning I didn’t notice it go off and once I looked at my blackberry it was 8:14am. Usually I’m all ready to go at that point, needless to say Alfie didn’t get much play time with me.

Tank: H&M (I think it was $9.95!) recent buy – about 2 weeks ago
Sweater: Zara (Roughly $11.00) Whenever I go to Toronto I MUST go into this store, they always have really great prices
Shorts: Old Navy ($29) bought in May.
Shoes: Reitmans ($19) I purchased these last spring and wore them in the rain a few too many times. They’re disgusting and falling apart, but I can’t seem to find any nice black flats. I’m picky.
Watch: my new black stella from Fossil!!!!

I should totally include my purses for these OOTD’s. Even though I only use one on a regular basis (my red one), I’d like to include them. Maybe it’ll pull it together.

Race photos

One of the ladies that I run with at the gym, her husband took a couple of photos for us at the race. I had no idea that most of these were being taken, of course we posed for the very last photo.

As vain as it sounds I’m definitely not wearing my hair like this again for another race. I had my “bangs” pinned back super tight that I looked bald. So these photos are most definitely photoshopped :)

And this is why I never wear my hair in a pony tail other than sports haha!

I spot my running buddy and I at the start! See that tiny red circle I drew? Right there is where we are!

That’s me slowly jogging into the finish line. That’s a water  spot on my shirt since I flicked a whole cup of water on me at kilometer #4 to cool me down.

We’re cheering on one of our older running buddies who does our jogs at the gym with us. So proud of her! At the end we basically had everyone who had no idea who she even was, cheering for her! It was an awesome finish for her, she even picked up the pace when we started whistling and screaming for her! Such a great feeling.

About half of our running group! Yayyyy!!!

Slather on the aloe

Well isn’t that interesting.  Yep, that’s one mother of a sunburn. I was silly enough to not wear sunscreen at my race yesterday. I have no idea how I forgot. It was a hot one and I was out for about 3 hours between 9am and 11:30 til I walked home. Surprisingly it didn’t bother me as much as I thought it would. I’ve been applying Aloe Vera and “After Burn” which is Aloe Vera with some sort of pain reliever in it about 3x a day for the past two days.

Wear sunscreen.
