I'm a health coach. I eat and work out really well. I'm a dancer. I can touch my toes and bust a move in heels. I work with kids. I can create fun games at the drop of a hat and run circles around the fastest 3 yr old in the room. I'm a fitness instructor. I can rock my hot pink Nikes as I jump rope and do crunches into oblivion.
What I'm not, is a fashionista. My boyfriend, who used to work in fashion magazines is constantly offering gentle suggestions on how I might alter my outfits before leaving the house. Ok, it's not usually gentle. It's usually delivered in the form of, "Uhhhh...are you really wearing that!"
Since we've gotten back from our 7 1/2 months of travel (You missed our travel blog? Where have you been? http://bucketbath.travellerspoint.com/ ) and wearing the same 3 outfits for that amount of time (don't worry EVERYTHING was given away before we even boarded the plane home from India) I find myself longing for an amazing New Yorker wardrobe. Unfortunately, 90% of my clothing is STILL in storage and I've been forced to get creative while I run around the city as my fabulous, health coaching, dancing, kid wrangling, fitness instructing self.
This has all lead me to become obsessed with the fashion advice of fellow Brooklyn-ite, Hilary Rushford and her blog, Bow Ties & Bettys. I'm waiting for the day I can afford (or be given the awesome gift...anyone?) to have her over to do a wardrobe edit. Until then, I'm taking her July Instagram photo challenge. I'm hoping it brings out the fashionista that is hidden under all the workout clothes and sweat every day.
As and added challenge, I'm going to try to accessorize it with some healthy advice, work-out move or recipe.
Wish me luck! Better yet, join in and take the challenge with me! Check it out here:
