I love when one of your favorite pieces comes home from a long vacation at the dry cleaners. This silk blush colored top (worn here) has been out of commission for months and now that I have it back I plan to wear it as much a possible. I even wore it in this warm weather by tucking it into a pair of breezy shorts. This weekend I have my 10 year high school reunion (yes I'm old). I am excited to see old faces and feel 16 again. Natalia, if your reading this I am desperate for an emergency hair appointment.

I was surprised when a heat wave hit our city this weekend making it  feel like the middle of summer. I really wanted to wear long knits and scarfs, but that was out of the question. The warm weather will probably stick around for a while and that isn't something to complain about. Luckily, my new maxi skirt from Forever21 is light and airy and kept me cool even in the heat. I love the soft brown color and decided on a gray top to keep the outfit neutral and feeling a little more fall.

The Crossfit Community

One of the biggest reasons why I continue to do Crossfit despite my ripped up hands, bruised collar bones, and aching muscles is the strong community! There is something about the mental and physical challenges of Crossfit that bring people together. The dynamic is one of shear competitiveness, but also support and encouragement. There are days when I break down and struggle to the point of tears and I can always count on the community to cheer me on and help me in any way that they can.

I use to spend hours at big gym by myself. I was so bored of  having to spend another twenty minutes on the treadmill or doing one more sit up. Now, I can go to Crossfit, mingle with my friends, work so hard that I want to collapse, and then feel invigorated the rest of the day. The other great thing is that many times my work outs are only twenty minutes or less and with my schedule that is a life saver! 

Do you have a work out community?

 There are times when I like to play with style and add fun quirks to my outfits, but most of the time I dress casual and comfortable. I found this mustard color sweater at H&M and knew I had to add it to my wardrobe. I love the strong shoulders. It was the perfect addition to an amazing dinner with a view of the city.
