Hey all-
I decided to dress up a little more so than usual for work today because I have a date with one of my fave people on earth, Christien and its been forever and a day since I have seen and hung out with him. (yes all of my doing because I came down with an incurable case of the boo flu). I also took this as an opp to wear my new gifted Shoe Mint shoes that I absolutely ADORE! I love the colors and I love that they are pointed because I am SOOOO NOT a round toe shoe lovin chick. Sorry to say that this particular style is sold out
I am also wearing my Jewel Mint gold bracelet that was sent to me as a thank you. Im wearing the Cinema Americano style but THIS in fact is sold out at the moment ( le SIGH). This company is beyond amazing though and definitely understand customer service and I believe they will go VERY far just from that alone.. (oh the products are super duper high quality too but customers like to be tended to also lol).
If you follow me on twitter, you probably realize that I am extremely opinionated and I do not hold back. I do need to find a balance at times but regardless I always want you all to see the real me. Ive had so many times in my life where I didnt say exactly what I thought or I played the fence or I even (gasp) kissed a_ _ but Im finally at the place where I can seriously say forget you if you dont like me and I wont be friends with you if I dont like you hahahaah.
With that being said, I want to show everyone what happens when you lay off strength training and only do cardio (football)… cellulite is REAL folks and guess what… I have it! I have a pretty strict no photoshopping of my body even though I do edit my pics for color and sharpness etc, I dont fix blemishes, airbrush my face or “smooth” out my skin… I would never ever want someone to meet me and think..hmmmm she looks different than her pics so these pics show all of my cottage cheesy in all its glory. Although Im proud and happy with my curves, this is a BLATANT sign to me that its time to start doing squats and lunges again (can you believe I used to leg press almost 350lbs??!)
Well this is the end of my typing and I hope you enjoy the pics…. yes it was windy out and yes my hair is tousled hahahahahaha but guess what no wind machines… it was all Mother Nature. HAHAH!
Huge thanks to my co-worker, life coach, #3 biggest fan and friend Avery for being my photographer today!

Love those shoes! I’ve wanted them since Zara sold out last summer. Yes for not photoshopping the cellulite; I have it too and can greatly appreciate bloggers who don’t try to pretend they have no cellulite.
Hey Jen! Its been a while since I’ve visited and this was the perfect post back! I absolutely adore the first picture, the outfit and accessories are perfect and the wind in your hair and the smile just put it over the top! <3

Very cute outfit. I love the pairing of the color blocked shoes with a graphic black and white print. With regards to the cellulite, we all have it. Squat and lunge away, but don’t let it get you down. Keep smiling.
