As a woman with wide hips and muscular legs, I’ve spent countless years studying and trying different ways to either hide or flatter these parts of my body that sometimes I hate and sometimes I embrace. (I’m a woman. I waffle about my body. We all do.) So when I find an outfit that flatters these parts, I wear the hell out of it. And I want to tell the rest of the big-hipped, female world about it – because in this case it cost me under $60!!! This post is about two things – flattering hips and shopping super-sales. Also - there are cute pics of my dog ahead, too.
One of my favorite going-out looks is rocking shorts with heels. Together they are an unlikely pair since shorts are usually considered extremely casual and high heels are fancy. But that's why I like to wear outfits like this so much - it makes me feel rebellious to do something unexpected! I believe anyone can give this a try, but I do have a couple rules of thumb I follow to keep the lines and the look balanced. Read on for my tips!
I did it! Three full weeks of fitness commitment completed and two new classes to report on, including FlyWheel and SHRED415. Would I call it a habit now? To be honest - I wouldn't. Fitness and health will always be a struggle for me, and I've learned over the last few weeks that I will have to push myself everyday to be active. I love it when I'm doing it, but the motivation doesn't come naturally to me. And that's okay.
I recently visited my hometown of Athens, GA to see my family for Father's Day and had such a great time with my parents. Naturally I had to take a little shopping break while I was there, and guess what I found? This adorable cotton dress that is perfect for a summer date night. And the best part of all is that it comes from a store that donates a portion of your purchase to local charities. It's fashion for a cause and I couldn't be happier to wear it. Read on to learn more about the best time I had shopping in Athens, GA!
I've completed my second week of building a fitness habit with some success but also a little bit of a slow-down in enthusiasm and motivation. In fact, I encountered a hurdle we all do - a very hectic work week - that kept me from fulfilling my goal of doing some activity everyday. Rather than beat ourselves up about this, I suggest we make up for it by choosing a more active set of weekend activities. Which is what I did! I tried two of the items on my bucket list: a Pure Barre class and a walking adventure on The 606 Bloomingdale Trail in Chicago!
