What about this duo-licious color combination?  I'm typically not a huge fan of pink, but this color combination is so unique and bright.  I'm not sure that I could pull of these outfits, but i'm certainly sure i'd try!  With spring in full swing i've been more and more attracted to bold colors.  

In what ways are you changing up your wardrobe?

Running shoes:

I feel like i'm doing this a lot; however being a running newbie i've begun to notice that i'm in desperate need of some advice.  Running shoes:

Any preference? My biggest dilemma i'm having right now is how cute Nikes are.  I've heard that if I want to buy a good pair of running shoes I should go ASICS, but let's be real... there just not as adorable as Nikes. Comfort over beauty? Probably not the best idea in this case.  Anyone have particular luck with an adorable pair of Nikes? Let me know.

As sad as it is I've been wearing down the same running shoes for a while, and it's starting to take a tole on my body.  So I'm having to somewhat trick myself into getting a new pair of shoes.  This sunday... THIS sunday I'll be participating in the Greenville Mud Run (which I mentioned here), so I figure what better way to take those tennis shoes out with a bang while also forcing myself to buy some new shoes.

My next phase of logic is that I would just procrastinate buying new shoes, HA! Tricked myself again, I can't because being the unknowingly genius, genius that I am, I also agreed to do a "Paint run" here in  Clemson to help local high school students in the Tri-County area go to a Young Life camp!  If you live in the Clemson/Anderson area, or anywhere neighboring and want a fun 5k to run, sign up!

On the topic of runs/ athleticism I should also recommend Body Pump.  Body Pump is class I take at fike that starts at 6 in the morning.  Ok, I realize 6 sounds early... and, well it is early. But it's a wonderful start to the day, and they pretty much whip your butt into shape!  Fike is not the only place that offers Body Pump, actually if you look at your local gym/ fitness center, I bet it's offered! Take it!

P.s. Off the topic of working out, and onto books.  Finished 19 minutes, it was awesome! So unexpected... and officially started the second book in The Hunger Games trilogy. Madness, absolute madness! And yet, I can't rip my eyes away from it for longer than an hour at a time.
