  Today, I'm talking about style in the gym! Personally, I don't think that the gym is the place to show off how cute you are. I think it's a place to get down and dirty. You sweat, you work hard, and you grow.  But I'd be lying if I said that I don't do a lil' hair and make up check pre gym.

I like to go there looking...appropriate. So this is my gym-style!

These are my favorite pants to wear to the gym. They are comfy, tight and they have a splash of orange down the side (that's my favorite color!) I don't like to have anything bouncing around on me while I'm running on the treadmill, so yoga pants or running pants or whatever you want to call these are perfect. And I'm not gonna lie, they make my butt look fantastic.

I bought these shoes a few months ago and I'm so in love with them. Not only are they adorable, but they're light weight, they breathe, and they make me feel like I'm running on a cloud. That is something I greatly appreciate when I'm on mile number two...

Puma socks...I cannot stop buying more and more puma socks. I have a bunch of different kinds but these ones are my favorite. They are the athletic kind with the arch support band dealy. It is...heavenly.

So, I go to the gym looking...well I wouldn't say glamorous, but I always try my best to keep my boobs in my shirt and my head held high, which is a lot more than I can say for most women at the gym...

Speaking of most women at the gym, why the hell do so many of them work out with their hair down? If you are breaking a sweat at all it feels gross to have your hair all sticking to you. Or it gets in your arm pits. You can't jump, run, bounce...without it being annoying. I don't understand it and I never will. 

I also hate it when they wear just sports bras or like fitness tops that are like sports bras...whatever they are...and all they do is look at themselves in the mirror AND yesterday, I saw a girl taking pictures. Like ten of  them in the mirror...Serious, you have a hot bod, so obviously, you did something to get it, but it must have been steroids because you waste you time at the gym...

Okay, now onto the good stuff!

All my life, I have been a strictly tee-shirt and jeans type of girl.

My sister said just the other day, "Since when does Katie care about fashion?" I'm not exactly sure when it happened, but it's fairly recent. I just...really like to put together outfits that works.  

Today is all about details.  

I took a dress that basically had nothing special going on and made it a cute outfit with a few small details. 

In this case, red high heels, thin red belt, a ring, a bow, and of course, red lipstick!

Lately, I've been working really hard to look my best on a daily basis. For some reason, my day just seems to go better when I'm dressed to the nines. 

I have been documenting all my outfits just so I can remember how cute I was when I get out of my ACUs and back into real-life clothes.

The jacket in the middle? That was only $35 at JCPenny...How could I say no?!

Apparently, my favorite mirror-picture pose is hand on the hip...

How do you tie an outfit together? What are you favorite accessories? Are you rocking an awesome "outfit of the day"? Take a picture and Instagram or Tweet it with #SemperStylish and share! Join in on our link up! You know you want to!

 

Semper Stylish [Week 2]

Style.  What is it?  To me, style isn't about who you're wearing, it's how you wear it. I don't care if you got your shoes from Payless or Steve Madden, if you wear them with confidence and pair them with the right outfit for your particular tastes there's no doubt that you will look fabulous!

And that is the point of this link up. To show off your style.  Share what you are wearing, what you wish you were wearing, what you wore yesterday, anything goes! Just link up and share!

Today, I'm talking about what I wish I was wearing. I have a fantastic Pinterest closet just like most of the women in this world. I'll sare a few pieces with you.

I am in love with tights this winter. I have tons of skirts and dresses and I needed a way to "winterize" them. So I bought a couple pairs of booties, several colors of tights, and I figured out a way to make it work :)

This is how I did it. Not quite as cute, but we can't all be as awesome as the girls on Pinterest!

I also really love jackets.  I probably have one for every occasion and every type of weather.

I wish I had this specific one...I'm in love.

And shoes...Holy crap. Who doesn't love shoes? But honestly, I think that one day, I will have so many pairs of shoes, I'm going to need a closet just for them. They rock my world. Especially these ones. They epitomize my style...again, I'm in love...

Semper Stylish!

I am so excited for this awesome link up hosted by Semper Wifey!

She started this link up because she's not into brands or fashion necessarily, but she loves style. It's all about the way you work with what you've got! Which, to me, is so great. I don't have all the money in the world to spend on clothes.  You won't see me sporting any single clothing item over $30, but somehow, I find a way to make what I have look good on my body.

What are you wearing today? How do you make what you've got in your clothes look like you just stepped out of your  cloest?

This is what I've got on today. 

I pretty much wear those lil' boots with every outfit, but it just seems to work. So I have no shame.

Although, it wouldn't hurt to clean that bathroom mirror huh?

In the car, I put on some lipstick to dress up my Plain Jane look today.

Plus, I threw on this rain coat I bought for $7.99 at Savers.

Ya like? My favorite thing about this outfit, is that it's all pieces I have never thought to put together before. This morning, I needed something that worked for the weather out side, and this was it. This was not the outfit I had planned originally, but it was snowing outside a few minutes after I woke up, so I opted not to wear a dress today.

Personally, I think that style is so much more than just what you put on your body, but wearing it with confidence.  I always feel great about what I'm wearing when I hold my head high and I rock my read lip stick like I don't care what anyone thinks of me. Now that is style, if you ask me. 

What's your style like and how do you define it?
