I wasn’t trying to make this week a theme about fitness, but I wanted to share another look that I wear to walk the dog and work out since I spent a LOT of money on work out clothes last year (trading in my high school t-shirts for something more fun/cute)!
I have been doing a lot more running this year, which should have been an obvious choice for my workouts over the past couple years because I can just go and get it done and be completely with myself during that time. I think I was afraid of failing (long story on what I mean by that, you can read more about it here).
Anyway, Ellie and Fabletics have been two of my top choices for cute workout clothing, but I have also found a lot of other cute pieces at Athleta, TJ Maxx, Adidas and Nordstrom (which is where I purchased these Nikes). I used to run and then take Emma for a walk as a cool down, but when she sees me change into my “comfy clothes” she starts to jump, get excited and whine… so now I walk her as a warm up to my runs haha!
^^^ Petting her to calm her down… pictures before the walk were a bad idea haha!

September 24, 2014 at 8:32 AMYou look AMAZING! I attempted to take my sister’s dog on a walk/jog one time and it was a mess haha. She was all over the place and I can’t tell you how many times I nearly tripped and fell flat on my face.

September 24, 2014 at 9:00 AMHaha, yeah I cannot even attempt to run with my dog, she is so good in so many other ways but HATES being on a leash. She pulls me even when we are just going for a walk I’m sure I would trip over her or the leash if we tried to run or jog together 😉 That’s why dog walk first then I go for a run!

September 24, 2014 at 10:50 AMDamn girl, you look ridiculously cute in your running gear. I keep meaning to get back into working out — I’m a total slob and haven’t done it in like six years! But seriously, you make the choice look SO effortlessly glamorous. Maybe if I steal a little of your workout style, I’ll have an easier time. 😉
