Casual Fridays!

I'm a huge fan of American Eagle's jeans. I love the way they fit and the length they give.

Fun Run

As it is summer and there are usually various 5ks, half marathons, and fun runs around the area (including company-sponsored events), I thought I would post some running stuff! I am usually very against Kohl's. Their clothes fit weird and I can never find anything in my size. However, they are a goldmine for athletic apparel as Kohl's is ALWAYS having a sale. Here are all things found at Kohl's for under $30.

One Piece Suits

So the one-piece bathing suit for people under 30 may be frowned upon by most. However, some offices have beach parties and I'm not that comfortable with firm principals seeing my tattoo or navel! In these cases, I feel a cute one-piece is definitely the way to go! As swim season is coming to a close and most-to-all bathing suits are on sale, now is the time to search the racks and find a cute one! Here are some suits I really like that will be flattering on many different figures!
