What I'm Wearing:
Short Sleeved Maxi - c/o Make Me Chic (SheIn's Amazon store!)*
Utility Jacket - Nordstrom*
Tassel Necklace - Pumps & Pushups (SimilarSimilar)*
Metallic Flats - Old Navy (SimilarSimilar)*
Earrings - Chloe & Isabel
Apple Watch*
Headband (See 5 Minute DIY HERE)

Today I am styling my last piece from SheIn's new Amazon store, MakeMeChic! This is such a comfortable maxi dress and as you'll see below, it even has POCKETS! It has a nice loose fit. I do think the added pockets make my body look a little boxy and it doesn't accent my waist... BUT, I think if you wanted to dress this maxi up more, you could cinch the waist in with a belt. :) Since it is almost Valentine's Day, I added a lavender-colored tassel necklace, pink mani, metallic flats and a lace headband (see the DIY here). 

The maxi dress is short sleeved, but I added my green utility jacket as a layer to stay warm. I also tied the maxi dress in a knot by my ankles (although, in some of the photos it came undone and you can see the length). We are starting to get some warmer days here in St. Louis (60-70's!) mixed in with some frigid weather. Spring is definitely just around the corner!

You can see my other outfits from MakeMeChic HERE and HERE.

My Invisalign Journey (Trays 9-15) and Progression Photos

Today I am going to share a little more about My Invisalign Journey with you. Back in May, I shared my first Invisalign post HERE and talked about my first 8 trays with Invisalign. Today I am going to share some information and progression photos for Trays 9-15. And, no, I am not done with Invisalign yet. After your first round of trays (I had 15 trays), they start revision trays. Unfortunately, I found out I have 18 revision trays... I am currently on tray 3 of those. I will continue to share updates as my progress continues. I talk about why I went with Invisalign and what the entire process was like in my first post (see link below). I am not going to repeat it all in this post, but I will share my progression photos with you. If you have any questions, be sure to let me know in the comments.

Currently {January 2017}

I've decided to keep Currently active again for 2017! It is just such a fun post to do each month and I love updating all of you on what I've been up to besides the usual DIY/outfit posts!  Currently... Beyond Thrilled to see SO many #ShowYourMug Photos! Recently I worked with Community Coffee on a Giveaway, where you would have a chance to win a year's worth of free coffee in exchange for showing your mug and tagging me and Community Coffee on Instagram. I was really surprised by how many of you shared your mugs! Below you'll see some of you that played along:      Again, thanks ladies for sharing your lovely mugs! I was so excited every time one of you tagged me and I got to read about your favorite mug! Running Goal I started training for my 10th (that's crazy!) half marathon yesterday! I haven't really set any specific goals for myself with half marathons, except to try to PR. However, I haven't PR'ed my 2:06 time in a couple years! After training ...

Y'all! I DID IT! 2016 Chicago Marathon Recap!!!

I am really excited to share this post with all of you today. I have been wanting to run a marathon for a really, really, REALLY long time. I was too afraid to do it, I was afraid I would fail. I started out running in 2009 after I had my daughter and signed up to run 500 miles in one year with friends I met on  Babycenter   I started out walking and running... but, I did it! I completed 500 miles in 2009. My first 5K was at our local zoo and then I branched out and did a Halloween 10K. After that, I signed up for my first half marathon here in St. Louis and my second half marathon was the Wine & Dine at Disney... My first half marathon time was 2:35 and my best has been 2:04 and a HUGE dream/goal of mine is to complete one in under 2:00 hours. But... first I toyed around with the idea of running a marathon.  All  of my running friends kept telling me to JUST DO IT. That I'd do just fine. But, I was sacred.... Finally, 7 years later I have RAN MY FIRST MARATHON! ...
