The inevitable schedule-thwarting that is the holidays has turned this post into 2 parital weeks of OOTDs all mushed together: Alala flash tee in black Splits59 nova trailblazer capri in hyper Heavy squat day!

What I Wore: Strength Days and New Shoes
Lululemon forme jacket in mini check pique Lululemon cool racerback in surge Lululemon dog runner pants in black For strength days, I always go for thicker layers, like my dog runners.
