Shopping and runnning!!!

My first recreated shirt, a plain racerback tank with a touch of flair, and color, pink but of course!!

new shoes for summer weddings, we have 3 thus far. 2 in august and one in september, tank I am talking about, $3.50 is such a steal!!!

Second shirt refashion, this was just a plain pink top, i added flowers from an old too small tank with cutting and fusible web and hand sewn on some pretty little beads and took the ruffle off old tank and used liquid stirch which is a fabulous solution to sewing sometimes!!

So today. I decided instead of sitting in traffic on the way home from Phoenix's PT. I would stop by the mall. I don't need anything and actually am attempting to revamp some of my clothing, which is fun and fairly free, nothing ever seems inexpensive with me though. Mike always says you gotta spend money to save money, cause I always convince him that what I want is a great deal. It's our little joke.

But I wanted to get Mike some new summer clothes, he's lost weight, gained weight and now balanced out so.... we both have six wardrobes, mine consist of the pre-pregnancy, pregnancy, the awkward in between baby weight and the oh I am getting my body back: yet somehow my chest has fallen three more inches toward my once existent waist wardrobes. The fabulous news is I am using all his old clothes as revamp t-shirt sewing projects!!! So not a total lost. And I have made progress in thinning out all my wardrobes and giving them away or throwing them in the fabric pile. I have decided that 3 pregnancies ago most of my maternity clothing were cute, but not the next time around, which will still be a while from now. In my mind anyway. That will be a fun shopping spree. Maybe.

So I hit up Macy's cause they have the best fitting clothes for him and came home with a bag full of shirts. He picked through and loved about half, which is great for us. On my second shopping expedition of returns, I found some great steals on summer staples and wanted to share them.

Forever 21 has Long tanks in fun colors with lace on top for 3.50, can't be beat. Macy's has these awesome Baudeu strapless Bra with under wire, cause who doesn't need the support, for like $20 and they are great. Oh and if you have weddings this summer Forever 21 has great shoes for dirt cheap, like $24, that is more than half the price of any other shoe I've seen.

Also, I am revamping clothes from my closet, most of these ideas can be done by hand with things around the house, so here's some links and a couple picks of what I've accomplished.

Running Glorious running has been up and down, continuing to get better at breathing and found this website called http://www.marathonrookie.com/, which has been so helpful and encouraging to the process. Continuing to see God in all the complexities of it and loving making time to be in nature. We've been running at a new track. Mike and I and the boys and it helps the time go by fast if we run on a walking trail and not a bike trail. Yesterday we ended up on a bike trail and that was a bit annoying, but I did my time and sweat my booty off. The goal at this point is to run 30 min with out stoppimg, I am truly only at about 20 before this crazy cramping happens in my shoulder, but everyday I get better at this art form, so here's to drinking more water to ward off cramping.Hope today you all get some fresh breathing time alone or with someone you love, it makes our hearts happy. Love to you all!!
