New purchases...falling for summer trends.

Like most new fashion trends, I balk at them at first...then fall in love with them when I actually try them out.

Maxi dresses are no different. As a short, short person, I never thought I could pull off a maxi dress...but now I own about 10 of them I think!

...including three new ones I just got from Target and Old Navy. I've seen the Target dresses circulating on the blog circuit, so I guess I won't be too unique when I wear them, but I LOVE them. So cute, comfortable and easy for summer.

And as a short person, I'm in love with wedges - which are a perfect compliment to these maxis to keep their hems from sweeping the floor.

Not a maxi, but this dress is super cute, affordable and will be
great to slip on over my bathing suit after a day on the beach.

I was on the fence with these, but I think they'll be fun to pair
with lots of my outfits this Spring and Summer.

This isn't a good picture, but this is the last Target dress when I wore it
Friday to happy hour on the Shem Creek Bar & Grill dock. It was chilly, so I paired
it with my jean jacket. I got lots of compliments on it. It's perfect for a Clemson game
in the Fall too! :)

What fashion trends are you stocking up on for the summer? What bargain finds have you found out there? I've been really impressed with Old Navy this year.

How would you accessorize this outfit?

I'm loving the black and white stripes paired with one of my old tourquoise skirts for an easy throw it on outfit for the weekend - but I have no idea how I should accessorize it.

I came up with three options using things I already own, but not sure what I'm feeling...which one of the three do you think looks best? Or a combination of any of them? Or do you have other ideas for me? I think once I figure out which shoes, the rest will be easy.

Wordless..Thursday? Easter weekend in photos.

April showers bring Easter flowers...

It's becoming a tradition with me - wearing Lilly again for Easter on Sunday...love, love, love this dress and I can't wait to wear it. Looking forward to beautiful weather and time with family in Birmingham.

Linking up to AV's Long Distance Loving Friday Fancies - this week's theme is flower power.

** Happy Easter! **

Weekend races.

The last two weekends, I decided to put my fitness skills to the test and do two different races here in Charleston.

Two weekends ago, two of my girlfriends and I formed team "Blondetorage" and did the Rugged Maniac mud run at Boone Hall. We had never done a mud run before and have been considering doing the Marine one in Columbia - but we decided to test out our 'mud run' skills with a basic 5K one here in Charleston...

Me before the race - washcloth in sports bra as recommended
by my trainer - ended up coming in handy a lot! Great idea!

It was definitely an interesting experience, and I'm so glad I only paid a third of the price through a Group On, but it was a lot of fun in the end. I wore the WRONG pants and spent most of the race pulling my sagging yoga pants up as they threatened to fall off. It was also difficult to run....and run...and run... between obstacles with soaking wet, muddy shoes..... but in the end, we were laughing at ourselves.

The best part was the giant slide into a pool of water at the end of the race.

This past weekend, we all ran the uber-popular Cooper River Bridge Run...which is starting to get entirely too crowded and ended up in an hour delay due to several miscommunications, issues, etc. It was brutal waiting and listening to the VERY annoying announcers...sorry...if you were there, you have to agree with me...they were awful.

Anyways... the first four miles went by fast and I was feeling good...until I got off the bridge and made my way down King Street in the brutal sun and no breeze. It.was.brutal.

But I pushed myself and my best friend and I ended up finishing five minutes faster than our time last year. Yippee! I'm not a runner...and not a fan of running....so I was extremely proud of us for pushing through.

The race kind of snuck up on us this year - usually we have fun costumes planned, but this year we did a last minute get up which included cutting up our shirts and refashioning them. I feel like we looked like competitive cheerleaders. Ready? Ok!

Afterwards, as is tradition with our friends, we headed to Red's to enjoy the beautiful weather and totally negate any calories we burned with celebratory beverages.

It's probably good I got in some good workouts the past two weekends, because this week I'm out of town for work...can you guess where I am?
