Fashion at the Olympics

I think this pink panther ensemble from the German pairs team sums up all of my fashion and life aspirations. A nice Valentine’s Day outfit!

And kudos to Shaun White, you my not have won a medal, but thank goodness you found the barber.

The Grammys: Pretty and Crazy

You can’t really do a “best and worst” dressed for the Grammys because it’s usually a lot more creative in the clothes department than the average awards show. So I went with “pretty and crazy” because I don’t want to judge the crazy outfits, I just want to identify them so you can draw your own conclusions. (all the pics come from People.com as usual)

Pretty

Colbie Caillat: This beach girl cleans up pretty good. It’s a tad formal for the Grammys, but when it works, it works!

Ciara: For a pregnant woman, I like that she picked something a little interesting but still flattering. Sometimes she can be a little extra fashion forward, but this look strikes a balance between fashion and glamour.

Chrissy Teigen: Another good choice in gold. Nothing too original, but I think she does look fabulous.

Crazy

Zendaya: This is just strange. Usually, she’s a little sleeker and more modern, but this one is a miss.

Katy Perry: I guess Katy Perry was trying to be a little whimsical with this, but it has musical notes on it… It’s a little obvious. She reminds me of the school teacher from the Magic School Bus who dressed according to the lesson plan.

Sara Bareilles: I don’t think this overly offensive but it’s not a good look. Between the high-low hem and the feathers it’s just a little too weird.

Cute Couple Alert!

Pink and Carey Hart looked super cute!

Workout Wear

Usually I buy workout gear 24/7/365, I love it. But I realized recently that I kind of took a hiatus this past six months. I was so concentrated on buying suits and suit adjacent things for work, that workout gear took a backseat. Well, enough of that! I would much rather buy neon spandex than black wool, believe me!

Here is combination of my current favorites and wish list:

My best friend recently bought these from Athleta and I’m totally jealous:

Athleta Capris

It’s a little hard to tell but they’re call “stardust” and they basically look like purple and black leopard print. Fantastic! Apparently Athleta’s standard fabric cocktail (% spandex vs. % cotton, etc) is only one percent different than Lulu’s, so it’s basically the same quality with a more affordable price tag (I saw that tidbit in an article last month that I can’t find…).

And these look like good running/spinning capris from Under Armour:

UA capris

They have a zipper on the lower back/butt which is why I say running or spinning. Not optimal for rolling around in Pilates…

I just got this long sleeve from UA that is great for running in chilly weather:

It might be hard to tell in the photo, but it’s metallic and shiny! So that means it needed to come home with me.

When it comes to inside workouts though, I think this tank from UA needs to get into my closet:

UA mesh shirt

I have a couple other mesh tanks from UA and I love them! This looks like a slightly different cut so I need to add it to my collection.

Also I keep seeing Nike’s Dry Fit shirts like this one that look and feel really soft and stretchy, but I can’t decide if the clingy nature would be kind of unflattering when I’m at the gym (in case you didn’t know, Arlington’s Gold’s Gym is a dress to impress atmosphere):

And PS- in case you didn’t know, printed leggings are in. According to everyone. Do it.
