Weekend Happenings

Happy Monday! Does anyone actually wake up on a Monday thrilled to be starting the workweek? Anyone?

This weekend I did something kind of dumb. I decided that (after not running for 6 months) I would run a 5K that involved a lot of hills. I cannot walk down stairs without a ton of pain, and I’ve been trying to stretch and keep moving because if I sit for too long I get stiff and then it hurts more. #old

I’ve been doing spin for a while, so I thought it would be fine – you use similar muscles when you run, right? So, so wrong.

We have a family wedding mid-May, so while I’m sitting here stretching, I’m searching for the perfect off-the-shoulder dress that will work with this crazy Boston weather (snowing one day, 60 degrees the next). Off-the-shoulder items are definitely having a moment, and while I’ve already invested in a beach cover up and top, I’m thinking about a romper, dress, who knows what else… Which of these would you add to your closet?

    I adore the blue off the shoulder dress! So darling! Hope you get to feeling better! I feel like our muscles should reward us after things like that, instead of punishing us {lol}! Happy Monday!
