Workout Wednesday: Get Active In Style!

{ Via: Vogue }

I hope it is safe to say, the warmer weather just might be here to stay. It's time to get outside and walk, run, and head to the gym. I'm proud to say that a few of my workout pants are a bit baggy this season. Sounds like a good excuse to do a little shopping. No matter what you do to keep healthy and active, looking good is half way to feeling good.

Chic Sneaks

Accessories: Peeking At Posies

{ Via: Dolce & Gabbana }

The inspiration for today's post came from Mother Nature. Spring has finally sprung in my part of the world, and I hope in yours, too. I walked for miles on the lakefront and down the magnificent mile this weekend. Flowers were blooming everywhere. They also bloomed on the Spring 2017 runways. It's all lovely, but I tend to shy away from clothing with a large print. Instead, I love to accessorize with pretty posies. A fabulous flower can add a pop of pretty to any outfit.
