OOTD: Once & Always

Here’s another OOTD that I forgot to post from the weekend.  I paired my Anthropologie Once & Always Tee with an old black skirt from J. Crew.  I wish I added something else to this outfit to jazz it up.   However, the weather has been really warm here, so that’s really all of the pieces I could have worn.  I lacked inspiration with this outfit…this isn't my favorite, but I love this shirt. 

Shirt: Anthropologie Once & Always Tee

Necklace: Coach Resort Optic Art C Chain Necklace

Skirt: J.Crew A-Line Skirt (really old)

Shoes: Gianni Bini High Road Heels

OOTD: Eastpointe Garden

Hiya ladies….I’ve been behind with posting my OOTDs, so here is one that I took last week.  The Eastpointe Garden Top is very versatile to wear with jeans on a casual day or dressed up with a pencil skirt and a cardigan like I did here with the Pulling It Together Sweater.  I also added a skinny belt around my waist to add some shape since the top is loose fitting.  I’m really glad that I was able to get this top before it sold out.  If you missed out, it looks like you are in luck.  It looks like Anthropologie brought this top back in new colors and made by a different designer.  The top is now called the Loosened Shelby Blouse. Check it out and let me know what you think.

Shirt: Anthropologie Eastpointe Garden Top

Sweater: Anthropologie Pulling It Together Sweater

Skirt: JCPenney East 5th Belted Pencil Skirt

Belt: Banana Republic Skinny Leather Belt (really old)

Shoes: Ann Taylor Dark Brown Pumps (really old)

miscellany monday

happy monday everyone – i’ve added my random ramblings to carissa’s miscellany monday party!  check out carissa’s blog here and join in on the fun. 

{one} running.  i mentioned last week that i was going to run in a 5k last thursday.  the race was great, but it was extremely sunny and humid.  the weather threw me for a loop because it was a lot warmer than i expected since the race began at 6:30pm.  during the race, i felt like i was dying from heat exhaustion.  there was also only one station to get water, which was like torture.  anyways, despite the setback of the extremely warm weather, my time for this race was 30:57 and i finished 289 out of 1668 women runners.  overall there were 1328 male finishers, 1668 female finishers and 2996 total finishers. i’m pretty pleased with myself.  i’m finally on a role now with running races and training for races.  i already signed up for another 5k race scheduled for this saturday morning.  this race is a women’s only race, which should be an interesting change of pace.   i’ll tell you all about it later. 

{two} drop 10 challenge.  last night i signed up for self magazine’s drop 10 challenge.  the website has great tips on losing weight and how to get you to slim down your body.  the website is complete with daily menus, workout plans, and a food and workout log to track your progress.  check it out if you’re like me and you just want to get bathing suit ready for the summer.  oh and another great perk is that enrolling in the challenge makes you eligible for a dream vacation in the bahamas.  good luck.
