So I've decided to write another Blog, or would it be called an entry? I don't know. Anyways, I have a crap ton of homework to do, and can not focus for the life of me so I'm just going to go with the flow and let myself get distracted.
Today I ended up working out with a few friends, and I'm inspired to look at workout clothes. My all time favorite workout type article of clothing would be the yoga pants from Victoria's Secret. They are super comfy and you look cute while working out, which lets be real is kind of hard to do. They have tons of different variations of their yoga pants, but the one's I'm coveting the most are the cropped yoga pants.
I've always felt iffy about these because I'd feel like a knob wearing these and tennis shoes, especially since my tennis shoes are old as dirt and kinda clunky. A lot of the girls in my sorority wear these out and about, and they've grown on me... A LOT. Once I have the spending money I'm going to invest in a pair.
Another option that I've seen out there is from Forever 21, and they're much more affordable. I can't say whether they wear the same since I don't own a pair myself, but from the minute or so I had a pair on in the dressing room, they didn't feel very different.
They don't look the same but I'm sure they're just as comfortable.
So now onto the footwear section of this. As mentioned before, I have old tennis shoes. I also have a pair of Skecher's Shape Ups, and I will swear up and down that they work! I've only worn them as work shoes (might as well get paid to work out) but have not worn them in a while. They look a little awkward, but the newer versions are attempting to look more like the average tennis shoe.
While they definitely do work, many people are turned off by the look of them. I'll admit that even I think they look a little weird, but luckily my work pants covered them. The Reebok Easytone is the answer to the awkward clunkiness of the shape ups. The website also allows you to customize the shoes so that you can design what you want the shoes to look like. I think that is pretty great, and if that had been available back when I bought my Shape Ups, I would've opted for that choice.
Alright, well that's all I've got for now. Maybe I should get back to this paper I have to write..... or go to sleep.....probably the latter.

There's a first time for everything...
So this is my attempt at blogging, hopefully it goes well. If not, at least I gave it a shot right? My hopes for this is to maybe post some of my online shopping findings. This includes outfits I find online that I want or have, some great deals I've found, some outfits others have worn, and anything else I feel like putting on here. It will make me feel less guilty about my online shopping habits.
First of all I have formal coming up for my sorority, and for those who don't know what formal is, its the college equivalent of a homecoming type dance. I got this awesome dress in the coral color,
http://www.forever21.com/product.asp?catalog_name=FOREVER21&category_name=dress&product_id=2077859250&Page=4&pgcount=100#
I like it because it's bright and vibrant, it fits great, and it was really cheap. Since the dress itself is very bright, I'm thinking the accessories should stick to black, like the accent belt. I was looking at getting either this lacy pair
Or this jazzy pair of shoes with the accent on the back of the shoe. I'm thinking the first pair of shoes because I would love to get a set of lace gloves to wear with the dress. The lace accents would match. I think some lace hair decorations would look pretty snazzy too.
A black layered necklace, with a set of black dangling earrings.
I feel like it might be a little much, So I'll just add pieces as I go and then stop when I feel like the accessories are overpowering the dress.
Alright, well that's all I've got for now. I'll leave on a good note. Ever hear the song "Peacock" by Katy Perry? Well when I saw these, the earrings that song popped into my head.
