Have ever had one of those days when you wake up and something hurts, you’re exhausted, and your schedule is full? Ugh, that was me last Friday! I woke up with an aching knee, I was exhausted-as if I ran a marathon, which I did not, and my schedule was jam-packed!

My knee threw me for a loop. Since it was spring break, I thought it would be a good idea to do a few volunteer hours with my daughters since I am trying to teach them our responsibility for the community around us. Since the weather was nice, I thought an outdoor volunteer job would be nice. So, I took the girls down to the Rose Garden in San Jose and we joined other volunteers to help maintain the garden. Our job was weeding. Now, I have a gardener at my house, so although I know how to weed, my body isn’t used to it. We worked for three hours, and afterwards it felt like I had done squats for three hours straight! Eeek!

I could barely walk the next two days, and on Friday I woke up with a pain in my knee. Ugh! I had to cancel my plans of attending spin class with a friend, and just concentrate on getting through the day without aggravating my knee even more. I met up with my fabulous friend Laura from Have Need Want and snapped pictures of our outfits, played with her cute little toddler, and ate a yummy lunch at Tacolicious. I’m so thankful I had this athleisure outfit in my closet to help me be comfortable throughout the day! Three cheers for the athleisure trend! Hip, hip, hooray!

There is nothing like wearing super comfortable sneakers and soft track pants to help alleviate exhaustion and pain. I never want to take these sneakers off! Or these pants! haha, they are so comfy!

Do you ever have days when your body just wants to stay in bed, but you have so many errands to run, you have to get up and go? What’s your favorite way to dress on those days? Mine is definitely athleisure!

Thanks for stopping by!

How cute is this outfit!? OK, that wasn’t very modest of me, but I am so excited to tell you about it, I couldn’t help myself! I got this entire outfit, plus the Calvin Klein carry-on suitcase, for under $200. Can you believe it!

So, you might be wondering how I did that?! Well, let me tell you, Macy’s has a fabulous new concept which helped me keep my bill under $200.

There were so many fabulous on-trend outfits for spring. It was really hard for me to only come home with just one! I am so thrilled to have stayed waaaaaaay under budget, and come home with a complete outfit, perfect for spring or a vacation; and a suitcase! My outfit includes shoes, a handbag, the dress, a necklace, a fabulous pair of earrings, and three bracelets!

I tried on several outfits, it was hard to choose just one! Here are a few shots from the dressing room:

How cute are those skinny jeans with pearls down the side! The polka dot skirt is haunting me, I might have to go back and get these items!
