Thursday/Friday

It's a good thing when you're distracted enough to not be able to do your regular morning posts. Especially when the weeks have been so slow. I didn't have time to post yesterday, so today's post is a Thursday/Friday post.


Wednesday I took a break from working out because I was very sore. Thursday I jumped back in and did Fire 45EZ, which in no shape or form is EZ...... Since I still had some residual soreness in my legs, I figured the workout wouldn't be easy. What I didn't count on was my legs fatiguing as quickly as they did. I had to take 3 or 4 breaks during the workout to catch my breath and be able to continue. The result of the workout was me falling asleep on the couch by 8! I thought exercise was supposed to give you energy!! Haha not this workout! 


My outfit today (Friday) is the Friday uniform. Jeans, Science polo and tennis shoes. Nothing to be excited about.


My outfit Thursday:


Pants: Ann Taylor Factory Store, $20 (LOVE THESE!!)
Sweater: Mossimo for Target, $12
Shirt: Worthington, Pennys, $14
Necklace: Ann Taylor Sale, don't remember what I paid
Shoes: Nine West, had for several years, $48

Take that Daylight Savings!!!!

Not really. Just trying to fake it til I make it! No rain in sight today, very sunny in fact, but still very dark at 6:30 on the morning walk. I suppose it was always like this, as I don't really think the Earth has changed just to spite me, but I don't remember it being quite so dark.
Nonetheless, J and I got our walk in and had a regular morning. 


I am super duper sore today. I got back to my tough workouts Monday and then did the Physique 57 video yesterday and today I'm extremely sore. So much so that I'm not sure what I'll end up doing today work-out wise. I may just take an extra-long walk with Jax tonight. 


Today's outfit (flats b/c heels were out of the question with shakey thighs!)

Pants: Kenneth Cole Outlet, Christmas gift (but I know they were around 25 bucks ;) )
Sweater: JC Penny Clearance, $12
Shoes: Gianni Bini, Dillards, $24

Daylight Savings, 2 Allie, 0

Wow! The time change is not going so well for me in the mornings! Now, it is fabulous to have daylight on the drive home and subsequent dog walk and workout. I am certainly willing to trade dark mornings for that. I am just hoping that the very rainy/foggy/overcast-ness of the past two mornings is contributing to the overwhelming darkness! I'm hoping that as the skies clear over the next few days, the mornings will be just a tad brighter, as I am having a hard time getting going and certainly not enjoying walking J in the dark!


I laid out all of my outfits for this week on Sunday, when I did some good cleaning. I knew I wanted to wear this top/sweater combo with jeans and really planned on wearing it closer to Friday but after another misty gross morning walk and fog and rain lingering all day, I decided today was an appropriate jeans day!


This is the first time I've worn this top and I am quite sure I've had it for over a year. It's actually a tank top and I should have worn it last summer, I just never did. After putting it on this morning, I realized that the shoulders need to be taken up about an inch to make it fit me better. (Right now, they are crudely pinned up) So after today, I'll hang it with a few of my other things that need to go to the tailor for "fixin'."


Today's outfit:


Top: Gap, Final Sale, $8
Sweater: Banana, $15
Jeans: Banana, $30
Shoes:  Fossil, via Dillard's Clearance, $21

 Hugest head in the world!!! Haha!

Daylight Savings, 1 Allie, 0

The time change got me this morning! I'm sure it was a combination of not sleeping super well thanks to crazy dreams and crazy thunderstorms and the time moving forward an hour, but at alarm time today, I ran the gamut of possible excuses to call in to work either sick or late. :) I didn't do either because by that time, Jax was stirring and there's just not a lot of sleeping to be done once he gets going. So I pulled myself out of bed and walked him. It was super dark outside and still wet and drizzly. In essence, the perfect day to stay in bed!!


My outfit today:


Dress: Banana, Sale, $30
Shoes: Franco Sarto via TJ Maxx, $27
Jacket: WDNY, via TJ Maxx, $12


Pretty much doesn't get any easier (or less binding!) than a jersey dress like this one! Great for a blah day!
