The Color Run - Atlanta 2014

By
Happy Monday everyone! I participated in The Color Run this past weekend so I thought I'd share some pictures with you! It was a lot of fun. If you know me you know there is no way I'm ready to run a 5k. (Running is pretty awful in my book.) My best friend from high school organized a group to do The Color Run though, so I said yes to the opportunity! Our group walked and it was great. We all had these tinsel wigs which made us stand out from the crowd. People kept wanting to take pictures with us. Plus I mixed up a light blue shade of OCC lip tar to match my blue tinsel wig. Any excuse for a crazy lip color is good enough in my book!

These pictures don't really go in any particular order so I'll narrate as you scroll through! These first photos are ones we took after the race with powder paint all over us. We mainly ended up turning blue. I still had blue on my legs yesterday. It got all over the place! In my shoes, on my bra, in my nose... It was still a fun event despite the clean-up. If you were wondering, it came off pretty easily in most spots with some light scrubbing! 




Here's pre-race with Jeanie.


Right after crossing the finish line, there's a post-race festival where everyone throws up extra powder color packets. I participated in one and then took pictures of the next color throw. The green powder I got stained my hands for two days!


My best friend from high school and me right before the finish line. We like to take jumping pictures. It's kind of a tradition.



And more after race pictures start again!





I hope you guys had a good weekend. On Saturday I did The Color Run (walk) and then we threw my mom a birthday party at our house. Matt, Jeanie, and I made appetizers and got things together. It was a fun time despite my exhaustion. Saturday was quite a long day! We got to relax on Sunday though. There's just so much going on lately. 

Have a fantastic Monday!

What fun, I always see a couple pictures of the colour run when then do it in my hometown or where I currently live and always forget that i should go try it out. It does look like a lot of fun though!

Ah, congrats on finishing your color run! I always see people do these and they look awesome. I'm not a runner but I'm a biker and wish there were such things as color bike runs, hahaha. Your blue lips are exceptional.

What a fantastic rainbow event! The lip tar was an excellent choice.

Hah, I've heard about these races, they always look completely crazy and fun! (Although digging powered paint out of your nose sounds like maybe not so much fun?)

Looks like you had an amazing time! I may have missed it, but did you run for a charity too? or was it just for the pure fun?

Botanical Fun

These pictures are from my outing to The State Botanical Garden of Georgia, which just so happens to be conveniently located about 8 minutes from my apartment. There were still a nice amount of flowers blooming so it was really pretty. I decided I needed to get more wears out of my pretty Steal the Game Show dress from Modcloth so I took some inspiration from other bloggers and wore it as a skirt! I actually really liked how this outfit turned out. Plus it was easy to walk around in all day because I wore nice, comfy Keds. dress (worn as a skirt): Modcloth.com blouse, belt, bag: thrifted cardigan: ann taylor loft; thrifted shoes: keds sunglasses: kohls earrings: forever 21 I quite enjoyed my brightly colored nails. They're China Glaze Papaya Punch with an accent nail of Electrify from the Capitol Colours collection. I've been loving having the whole Capitol Colours collection. Especially since it's Hunger Games themed. If there...

Work Outfit: Light Blue Jersey Knit Dress and White Block Heels

I'm a big fan of what I call "pajama dresses," which are really just jersey knit skater dresses . They're comfortable enough to sleep in, yet can look 100% put-together if styled nicely. That's exactly what I did with this light blue dress California-based shop Tobi sent me to style. (Someone even asked me why I was dressed so nice at the dog park! I told them I just came from work, of course.) For the debut of my newest pajama dress, I added my silvery beaded Stella and Dot necklace and a pair of white block heel sandals from Forever 21. I actually bought the shoes back in December on sale and had to wait for it to warm up to finally wear them. Happily, they're comfortable enough to walk back and forth to work, which is really all I can ask in a pair of cheap shoes.  daydreaming skater dress : c/o tobi | shoes : forever 21 | necklace: stella & dot | sunglasses: forever 21 Check out more from Tobi:  shorts  |  jewelry  |  casual dresses ...

Outfit: Concert Tee, Black Denim Mini Skirt, Pink Tights, and White Converse

Here I am wearing a concert t-shirt again. At this point I'm not sure I'll ever stop wearing them. Maybe when I'm 70 I won't wear them with bright pink tights and white wedge Converse, but really, who knows? Maybe we'll all be dressing like Zenon : Girl of the 21st Century by then. (I can only hope.) And if I really take a look at this outfit, all I need is a colorful vest and I may as well have come off the space station. They really liked vests in that movie. I guess they don't need sleeves when everything's climate controlled? It is, however, not climate controlled outside in Atlanta. These pictures are from a couple months ago but it still hasn't reliably warmed up here yet. Also, my hair is now completely different since I had it chopped off again into an asymmetrical pixie a couple weeks ago.
