Workout Wednesday

Thank you to everyone who gave feedback on last weeks Workout Wednesday post. Since you guys are game, so am I! Here's installment number two!

Here is a workout look I wore to my Bar Method class. Wearing layers to workout in was an adjustment for me from my normal less-clothes-the-better hot yoga outfits. With Bar Method I barely sweat at all. This is one of the things I love about this class because my naturally curly hair doesn't get ruined and I can still go out in public after a workout without looking like a drowned rat!

Since joining Bar Method I've had to invest in alot more long sleeve layers to wear to classes. I tried on this great white half zip hoodie at Lululemon but thought I could probably find something pretty comparable at TJ Maxx or Marshalls since it was just plain white. If you don't know already those two places are great for workout clothes under $30! 

As a rule of thumb at Lululemon, I will only splurge on a great colored piece or some super basic black leggings I'll wear forever . But for just a plain white hoodie, I couldn't justify the $98 price tag. 

Sure enough this micro fleece lined half-zip hoodie was found at TJ Maxx for just $19 and looks pretty darn similar to the Lulu one don't you think?

Neutral Territory

A few weeks back when I attended the Midwest Style Bloggers Brunch, I was introduced to Langford Market via the brunch goodie bag. The kind ladies over at Langford market gave each blogger a $50 gift card to shop to their hearts desire.

The following weekend I met up with Peggy, whom I also met at the brunch, and browsed the Armitage Ave. location. The store had a lot of cute options (especially the teal fringy dress I tried on) but I decided on a pair of out-of-my-comfort-zone neutral-colored satin pants. Usually I would go for the bright colors but I wanted to try something different. These pants also happen to have an elastic waist band which puts them right in everyone's comfort zone!

Thanks to the lovely ladies over at Langford Market. Stop in and check them out for yourself! Locations here!

New Glasses and a Springy Dress

The moment I saw the sun shining through my windows, I knew it was time for this dress (minus the tights) to come out! I had been dying to wear it since I found it at TJ Maxx.

The other part of this outfit I was excited for was my brand new glasses from Firmoo! They are everything I was hoping for and more. I swear that this frame looked good on every single one of my friends I had try them on. I like that the top of the frame is slightly rounded so it really opens up your eyes! Very flattering.

Firmoo, the online glasses store that provided me with these adorable frames, has great customer service, too. Every question I had (which was a lot because I had never bought prescription glasses online before) was answered super fast! They also offer a virtual "try on" option where you can upload your picture and "try on" glasses! The thing that helped me out the most was that they have tons of bloggers' personal pictures modeling their frames, so you can see what each frame looks like on many different faces/hair colors. 

Firmoo would like to offer HOTPINK readers their first pair of glasses (prescription or non) free through their "first pair free program!!" All you have to pay is shipping! Wanna try it? Click here.

Have a great Monday!

Collars: Pink & Polka-Dots

As you may know from reading my post yesterday, I'm on spring break! I woke up this morning to the realization that I never scheduled a post for my usual 6AM! I guess I was too caught up in the excitement of my week-long freedom. I hope you can forgive me!

This gray and white polka-dot blouse is one of those things I wanted to wear the second I bought it which is rare for me. I usually wait for the perfect moment/outfit. Even more rare, I found it at TJ Maxx which is a store I very rarely go into/find anything in. This visit happened to be the best I've ever done in that place finding this blouse for $17, as well as 2 Cynthia Rowley dresses each for $30! Not too shabby!
