Hello and happy Monday! Life seems relatively back to normal at the moment, which is a good thing for sure! No real plans this weekend except for seeing Pitch Perfect 2, which was hil-aca-arious and I was legit dancing in my seat!
Last week I also started a workout challenge with some co-workers. It's not a weight loss competition, it's simply the accountability to be physical for at least 30 minutes, 6 times a week. And you can take your physicality to whatever that means to you - walking, cardio, weights, whatever! I'm back to Pilates 3 days a week, and then doing cardio the other 3 days. So far so good! I needed this extra motivation, so I'll keep you posted on this journey. I really just needed something to make working out a habit again. And, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't hoping to lose a few pounds also in the process. I weighed myself for the first time in months, and it was not my best.

The weather these days has been pretty psychotic. One day I'm freezing, the next day I am sweating buckets. For the cooler days, I am happy to have this textured knit jacket. This is the same one I already have in ivory:
It's just such a great fitting piece, and it instantly adds a little something to finish off any outfit. I am equally obsessed with my olive military jackets, so I felt like this moto style was the perfect marriage of my two favorite pieces:
Olive can feel very fall and winter to me, but blushes and nudes help keep it springy. This clutch is also a recent purchase and needless to say, I'm obsessed. I seriously got more excited than I should when I saw how nicely it complemented this outfit. If you're looking for something a little bolder - this one here from Target is an awesome budget option and if my Target carried it in store, I'm pretty sure it would be mine already!

Away From The Blue
I love the color and the fit of that jacket. Love it with the blush jeans. I need to pay Express a visit for that jacket. Everyone keeps talking about Pitch Perfect 2. It sounds like it's worth the trip to the theater? ~Cynthia
ReplyDeleteYes! I loved it so much! I was dancing in my seat the whole time with a childish grin on my face. There is some dumb humor in it, but still entertaining!
Deleteyou look stunning, I love these jeans so much but not sure I can pull off that color. I want to start pilates too but the ones I've found are so expensive .
ReplyDeleteYes it can get pricey pretty easily. Though the mat classes can be ok! I was so happy when this studio opened near me because the prices weren't much more than a mat class and I can use the equipment. I highly recommend if you can ever find a reasonably priced place. I truly didn't see a change in my body until I started Pilates!
DeleteMore power to your fitness challenge Carylee - it's really not easy but it's all worth it I am sure! And I'd say you have the best collection of blazers and jackets!
ReplyDeleteBest!

I am jealous that your striped Express tee is still holding up so well! Mine is in a sad, saggy state and in the donate pile, sniff sniff. I have a replacement in mind and I'm hoping it works out.

It takes some massaging after the wash, for sure. I was freaked the first time I washed it but managed to get it to its normal shape. I will be sad when it gives up on life!
DeleteYou go girl! Working out 6 times a week is no joke! I really need to get back into it. But hello that jacket is amazing and I think I need it in my life!

You know I love those jeans! You look so good in all those combos! Wow, 6 times a week. That is intense. I am doing well to get in two. It really does make a difference. Having a buddy really helps me too. Good for you!

Yes 6 is definitely intimidating! Mixing Pilates with cardio definitely breaks it up nice though. I don't think I could handle 6 days of cardio! And my wallet could not handle 6 days of Pilates! :)
DeleteI'm loving the soft color of that denim! -xx

Thank you! And good luck! I knew I needed to join this challenge because it's the only way to get me started! Hopefully it will become habit again before the challenge is over and I can do it all on my own!
DeleteI love the texture of that jacket! It looks perfect with the pink and stripes! Good luck on your workouts!

Thanks, girl!
DeleteThat is one seriously cool jacket. <3 Love the olive color. Btw yayy for 6 times a week workouts. Definitely need that too especially with summer just around the corner. XOXO, Elif

You go girl! I would love to stick with a workout routine because I just feel very out of shape. I don't really want to lose weight but I would love to tone up more. I'm so good with it for a week or two and then I completely stop. Love the olive and pastel pink together, I never would have thought to pair the two but it's so cute
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm glad to inspire you to try the color combo! I think it works great for warm weather months!
DeleteAnd yes - working out is hard to stick to. This week has been much harder than last!
