Creamsicle

DSC_6764
I am not adequately prepared for this heat wave we've had this week! I reluctantly tried on some of my summer clothes, which not so surprisingly, do not fit, AH. Luckily, I have a closet of flowy dresses including this new one from PB&J boutique. In the mean time, I'm making more of an effort to work out and not consume hot cheetos and donuts for every meal. Wish me luck! 
Tell me, what's your favorite thing to do to workout? I'm thinking about busting out my old roller derby skates and skating on weekends and joining a couple fitness classes! I just need more creative ways to trick my mind into thinking I'm having fun while I burn off the calories!

Great feminine dress, and I love how you toughened it up with the jewels, and those tights are awesome!

Trying to find a fun way to work out is SO difficult! I love going rollerblading and I've been itching to take some dance classes.

Its always depressing when your clothes from previous seasons don't fit, but its a good excuse to go shopping and start getting creative with your wardrobe, right?

Good luck with your calorie counting - not that you need it!

Toni said...

One word - Zumba! It's a lot of fun and really burns the calories. You look adorable, BTW.

On another note, any word on who won the ONA bag??

Jen said...

Spinning is so much fun! It can be a major sweat feast but you can but up 700 calories in an hour if you work your butt off. And its addicting. I love it.

What color is that nail polish? So bright and fun.

Hi, Andrea! I'm a long time blog reader but have never commented. I'm so in awe of your fabulous style :)

Might I suggest kickboxing? I've been doing it for about 11 months and it is a great way to do cardio and strength training, plus, it makes you feel badass. Good luck!

The stockings make the outfit!

amanda said...

I freaking love your tattoos and that dress! Damn, I want your style/closet. In other news, I actually have laptop shelf for my treadmill. Makes life easier! I also crank up "old-school" Avenged Sevenfold and use this crazy all-in-one machine at the gym. (It does stair-stepper, elliptical, and something resembling striding.)

rolling skating sounds like a blast! i was playing co-ed basketball, which was tons of fun and a great work out, but, alas, league is over. duping your mind into that fun work-out attitude is half the battle (well, sort of....)

love the nylons, perfect for summer! such a sultry look.

Oooh, sexy mama!! You look stunning Andrea: the dress, your tattoo and those tights - seriously gorgeous!! Blah, I'm so not fitting into my clothes from last summer either and I'm trying to figure out my "work-out" action plan... I'm hoping to start running a few times a week. My motivation?! A cute running outfit. ;)

Sorren said...

I may have sighed when I saw this dress - it is gorgeous and perfectly fit for summer. I also like that it's not so dress that you could pair it with TOMS ballet flats or something.

My favourite thing to do for a work out is attending TRX classes because no matter the exercise, suspending yourself from a wall is always fun!

Merrybelly said...

Your necklace is amazing!

I love the dress! Riding a bike can be super fun especially if you are someone is riding beside you. It is fun and you have company. I love how your tattoo pops out the side of your dress just a little bit. I love the outfit.

I love this look - especially the tights. I definitely second dancing as the best exercise, and I've heard zumba is great though I've never tried it.

Jenmarie said...

You look darling! I love the soft cream colors and those tights are super cute!

If you drink soda you could cut that out. It makes a difference and you'll feel so much better :)

Leah said...

I know the feeling...I always feel unprepared for summer.
Your tights are so adorable! Which style are they? I had trouble locating them on the Philipe Matignon site.

Patricia said...

Love the whole outfit. It is sweet, with an edge.

And those tights are just adorable.

Frannie Pantz said...

If you ask me, you don't need to loose a thing! But, I understand. I had to give up Dr. Pepper a few months ago in anticipation of my wedding in September. It has been torturous. I have loved riding my bike everywhere. I think roller skating would be a great idea!

I LOOOOOOOOOOOVE this dress Andrea. Truly. And the surprise seam in the tights is a nice touch. Simply lovely dear.

Santina said...

This dress looks beautiful on you! Love the pastels and pleats, not to mention the little peek of your tattoo! So pretty!

Haley said...

I love this dress! You always mix some badass elements with feminine pieces - amazing.

I love any sort of workout class at the gym. Going with my girlfriends also makes it seem more like a fun night out than a workout. ;)

I find layering necklaces tricky so I love seeing how you've done it in the close-up. You make it look so natural.

I LOVE to do the Jillian Michael's 30 day shred...you lose inches everywhere and its a very tough workout throughout all the levels...and its a cheap workout video!!
