NOT BAD FOR RACE WEEK

This OOTW installment consists of race day and the few days before and after. While I might’ve been tired, sore, and busy, I still managed to look halfway decent.

FRIDAY, MAY 13

Friday the 13th! I wore a casual little outfit, with a hint of blue and orange (Go Gators!) to visit the Bronco’s stadium later that day to pick up my race bib for the half.

• skinny blue jeans, Gap
• polka dot blouse, Target
• orange cardigan, J. Crew steal from Good Will!
• white flats, Target

SATURDAY, MAY 14

(My best friend Emily’s birthday!) I was off to go shopping at Good Will and Old Navy before a 5-hour dance rehearsal.

• Nike running tights, REI sale
• The Highlands Ranch Half Marathon race T-shirt, free with registration (I ran this in 2013)

SUNDAY, MAY 15

Race day! I was so comfortable in every aspect of my outfit/gear during the half. I planned pretty well!

• black running shorts (and gray/yellow sports bra), Walmart (see more here)
• pink dry-fit T-strap tank, Old Navy (see more here)
• neon-yellow throwaway pullover, Good Will (see more here)
• Asics running shoes, Kohls on discount
• Smart Wool socks, Runners Roost (gift from the man)
• Garmin Forerunner 220, borrowed from the man
• Hipster belt, Runners Roost (gift from the man)
• no-slip headband, Target
• throwaway gloves, heaven knows, I’ve had them so long!

MONDAY, MAY 16

Rainy Monday! I was tired and a tad sore, but able to put together an easy-peasy work outfit.

• black skinny jeans, Gap
• gray top, Gap
• black booties, DSW

TUESDAY, MAY 17

It was a super-casual and still-rainy Tuesday, so:

• skinny jeans, Gap
• blue blouse, Kohls
• white striped sweater, Forever 21
• brown booties, DSW

Wednesday, May 18

The sun and warmth finally came back around! Time for a sundress and denim jacket!

[I really love this dress, but it no longer fits well because I’ve dropped a few sizes. The jacket helps make it work.]

• orange hearts dress, Dillards
• denim jacket, Aeropostale
• strappy sandals, Ross

Thursday, May 19

I love this outfit! It was one of those mornings where I put each piece on not thinking of how they’d mesh, but it totally worked:

• pink skinny jeans, American Eagle
• striped top, Gap
• beige wedges, DSW

I’d say not at all bad for the days before and after the big race!
