2014 was definitely the year of the sneaker (and don’t worry I’m not doing yet another round-up of what was popular/trending this year…although they’re sort of fun, right?) For a while it was all about Nike, but there’s been a few other brands stepping up their game in the “athleisure” department…
Hi, my name is Jena and I’m new to exercise…
Is basically how I introduced myself my first month or so of working out (which would involve me breaking a sweat no more than once a week). Health and fitness are things I don’t think I’ve ever touched on here on CCF (the closest I’ve gotten is discussing activewear as ready to wear). So now that I have this wonderful life category where I can pretty much write about anything, this seemed to be the perfect time to talk about this stuff.
Summer style is all about prints, colors, sandals (and if you really want to be on trend, crop tops and Birkenstocks) so today I thought I’d do the total opposite of that…
Sometimes I’ll get dressed, look in the mirror and think to myself “where did this come from?” There’s certain things I’ve refused to wear in the past (with a few of the many listed here) but now I’m all about them. For example, I never thought I’d be wearing sneakers or sweatpants in public…then this happened. I’m not huge skirt person but then I ended up coming home with three after my Australia trip (here’s one of them). I don’t know how it happens but it just does. And now I can add activewear to this list of things-I-never-liked-but-now-I-wear-all-the-time. Yes, coming from the girl who openly despises exercises. Activewear.
