JUST DO IT

Remember that time I asked you to fill out a 6 question survery & YOU DID!? You guyyyyyyyyys.

I can’t thank you enough for taking the time to submit a little feedback so that I’m able to make this the best space possible for fashion, home decor, life, man problems, & lady problems. SO, THANKS. Love you too. Feelings. ::Dry heave:: Let’s get back to the fashion, shall we? To the reader that answered every question with requests for more Wendell, you’re my favorite, & your wish is my command.

NORDSTROM DRESS [SIMILAR UNDER $40] | TULLE JACKET [SIMILAR] | SHOEDAZZLE HEELS | NINE WEST BAG | BAUBLEBAR NECKLACE | ANNA BECK RING 

This dress has been sitting pretty in a plastic hanging bag in my closet since 2010. I’ve never worn it. Not. once. Why? Because it’s relatively unforgiving, meaning it’s not the best choice when attempting to conceal your mac & cheese loving gut. So why’d I opt for this little number? My top 2 choices were at the cleaners & for some reason, I didn’t give a flying Fig Newton about a potential gut bearing situation. I was having a very Carrie Bradshaw in the opening credits of the SATC2 movie & was going to make it happen, gut or not. I had two choices as I stared down that dress, deciding whether or not it was to be the chosen one to make birthday magic happen. I could continue to reach for flowy dresses that hide the areas I’m uncomfortable with or I could do something about it. I decided that night would be the last night I would down a bowl of mac & cheese till Christmas. It was also the night I decided I’d be enrolling in Crossfit the following Monday afternoon. I’m two workouts in & I feel great. Until I need to breathe, or, you know, move. In general. P90X has been working just fine but motivation I get from working out with other humans interested in getting swoll in shape can’t be compared. The people are supportive, I feel the workouts actually working, & most importantly, I just ordered pink lifting gloves since I’m already getting pretty gnarly callouses. I really am such a lady. Don’t worry your pretty little heads, DS won’t be turning into a fitness blog any time soon but I am excited to potentially fit into my pants sans muffin top at some point before Thanksgiving.
