When it Rains and Shines, It's Just a State of Mind

06/15/11
We're having yet another string of rainy days here in Chicago, but it's not quite as cold as it was last week, so I can deal. Despite the rainy, 5:30am walk, I finally got myself back to the gym this morning. It felt so good to get back to exercising, and much to my surprise, I'm not nearly as out of shape as I worried I'd be. I'm guessing all of the trips up and down 3 flights of stairs while moving things the past couple of weeks helped.

I kept my accessorizing pretty simple today - just going with a leather flower belt and a small pair of red earrings (which I didn't get a picture of - woops). Sometimes less is more.

Dress & Cardigan: Target
Belt: New York & Company
Earrings: Macy's
Shoes: Kohl's

  2. Great outfit -- love how it has an almost retro feel. :) And I love this porch you're using for your photographs. :)

  3. The belt is a really nice touch.  It is tough to get back into the habit of exercising.  I've been trying to do the same thing.

  4. Wow, way to make Target pieces look awesome.  I agree that the flower belt is a perfect finishing touch on an already classic Anne outfit.
    Yeay for working out and feeling good.

  5. The flower is such a great touch.  Are you some today from taking time off and then going back to exercise?...I always am!!

  6. Not today b/c I only did cardio, but I'm sure once I get back to lifting it'll be rough for a while!

  7. Yes, stair climbing is serious exercise!  You could strap on some ankle weights to make it even more serious exercise.  Your legs will feel like they are flying when you take them off.  Admiring the leather flower with this outfit.

  8. Maybe now that I'm not constantly lugging boxes up the stairs :)

  10. But it is so much harder to get motivated in the rain! Good job for getting past that stigma and out the door. I need that kind of dedication.

  11. Love the polka dot dress! I did not look half as good as you do in it, so I wasn't able to add it to my collection. :) I will enjoy it vicariously through you instead!
