Fun Facts Friday - Fashion Edition 1

I know I mostly talk about food and workouts, but today I thought I'd talk fashion for Fun Facts Friday. We'll call it the Fashion Edition 1 (so unique right??). I think I was born to shop. Now if only I had the unlimited funds to support this little habit of mine, I'd be good to go. Maybe I should be a personal shopper. Just spend someone else's money.

I've done a post previously on some of my Fashion Faves. I thought it might be fun to do another one. This one will be all about the clothes and shoes. Though, I could probably do one on shoes alone to be honest.

You'll see that I'm fairly brand loyal. A lot of that has to do with where I live too. We don't have an abundance of shopping options. So, I tend to frequent the same stores like The Limited, Ann Taylor Loft, or DSW. I tend to shy away from buying online from brands I'm not familiar with because I never know how something may or may not fit me. I also want to know the texture of the clothing, very important.

So, being limited...I guess in some ways that makes things easier since I have fewer choices, but at the same time, it means half the city has the same outfits or at least same pieces of the outfit.

Favorite Tops, Sweaters, Accessories - The Limited (just bought this outfit)


Another Limited find (on clearance) - can dress up or down easily



Favorite Jeans - Lucky Brand - Lil Maggie


Favorite Skinny Jeans - Gap Always Skinny (have these in 3 different colors)

More Shoes - Like these wedge booties by Madden Girl also from DSW

These are just a few of my recent finds. And while I love to shop, I don't love full price. So all of these were bought either on clearance, on sale, or with coupons (or a combination). Sometimes it's all about finding a bargain that makes shopping so much fun. And now I want to go shop.

What are some of your favorite fashion brands? Do you have a wide variety of shopping options where you live? Do you tend to stick to what you know or just go with whatever based on fit and price?

Daily To-Enjoy List:
  • Sunshine

I Run to Feel Alive

Today is National Running Day . Guess what I did this morning? Cycling? Nope. Lifting? Nope. I bet you thought kickboxing right? Nope. Running? But of course! I actually sort of planned my running days this week just so I could participate this year. I didn't get to run last year and didn't even know about it the year before. But running has become such an integral part of my life and who I am, that I couldn't miss this year. Basically, I run to feel alive . It calms me, it helps me work through life, it's often a reason to get out of bed. No matter how tough a run is, it makes you feel ... period. My plan was to get in 5 miles (got in 5.5 actually). It was about 10 degrees warmer this morning and definitely more humid. That always makes for a tougher run. We decided to take a different route today. Well, it was really only a few streets over different, but still. The point is we took a different street. Sometimes that's good, sometimes not. I did realize th...

Taco Thursday

Rest for the Weary  Today I have some DOMS going on from yesterday's biceps/triceps/shoulder workout. I only briefly thought about getting up for an early run, but our lows were going to be 79/80 degrees, and the humidity is extreme - makes the heat so much worse. So I didn't even bother with a run or pretending to think about a run. I had really wanted to do back and chest today, but my arms are too sore and the workout would have suffered as a result. Believe it or not, I do know my limits. So today was a rest day. I really wish that I could have mustered the energy for a cardio only day though because this means I'll have to force my rear out of bed tomorrow morning in order to get the workout done. The dogs are getting groomed (very much overdue) in the morning so Jason will take them in, but I will have to pick them up after work. Sometimes I think morning workouts are worse when I know they are a must. Hmmm, need to refocus how I think about them. Tomorrow I wil...
