But Sunday--that's where you get to have fun with your street fashion. That dress is very cool, and you look great in it. Maybe has something to do with the working out? Just a guess--ha! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-of-512---18-reality-bites#post-1259801 Sat, 24 May 2014 02:50:02 +0000 Gigi 1259801@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking good, Mo! I think the purple workout outfit is awesome. I'm glad you were able to buy some extra workout gear to make you feel fab, since you have to spend so much time in it. You look really great in the maxi dress also!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-of-512---18-reality-bites#post-1259789 Sat, 24 May 2014 02:31:53 +0000 Helena 1259789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are great - I love your laundry day style ... and the tie-die maxi ... but especially the blood donation shirt with the mosquitos ... cute for a cause, can't beat that </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-of-512---18-reality-bites#post-1257853 Thu, 22 May 2014 01:08:08 +0000 Anonymous 1257853@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in all of these.

Also love the purple running outfit. And I think you look totally fine for something like a quick run to the grocery store. Especially since, unlike many people wearing gear to do errands, you're actually in it for a reason! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-of-512---18-reality-bites#post-1256327 Tue, 20 May 2014 12:04:19 +0000 ManidipaM 1256327@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And here you go showcasing how cool fit can be. Not just the clothes, the fit body under them. Though the proportions of that white t'shirt do make me want to jump for joy. the shades of purple from top to toe very stylish, I think, and I love the pattern mixing in your tie-dye and dots 'cover up'. </p> <p>I don't think gear worn intentionally with attention to fit as well as function is unstylish, ever. It is still going to show the wearer' sown style if not the height of fashion. But yeah, gear functions first, so you can't exactly glance askance if someone chooses to buy or wear the first piece that comes to hand for a run at crack of dawn, vs dressing to close a deal in the boardroom, yes? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-of-512---18-reality-bites#post-1256305 Tue, 20 May 2014 11:18:52 +0000 LoriFLA 1256305@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The purple outfit is fab. I have to get some more colorful exercise bottoms. &nbsp;I wear a lot of black and the bottom half and it's boring.&nbsp;</p> <p>I live in Florida as well. &nbsp;I can't tell you how many times I've worn my&nbsp;bathing suit under clothes to the grocery store. &nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks for showing your everyday&nbsp;outfits. &nbsp;:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-of-512---18-reality-bites#post-1255938 Mon, 19 May 2014 23:02:13 +0000 Emily 1255938@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had the same thought as Joy...have you considered volunteering or a </p> <p>part-time/temporary job while in Florida?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-of-512---18-reality-bites#post-1255908 Mon, 19 May 2014 22:19:54 +0000 Caro in Oz 1255908@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great post I love your workout gear &amp; the dress looks amazing on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-of-512---18-reality-bites#post-1255901 Mon, 19 May 2014 22:09:31 +0000 Aida 1255901@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>More reminders that fabulous workout gear is fabulous! I love seeing how you dress for your very active life.

I would feel pretty darn good to look like you in work out wear! Your lounge wear is pretty fab too! Love your movie outfit. Glad to hear that Godzilla was entertaining.

I am right there&nbsp;with you on gear in public. It is the only way to fit in the amount of training you need to do a tri. The updates look cheery and functional. Good luck on your training! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-of-512---18-reality-bites#post-1255876 Mon, 19 May 2014 21:32:18 +0000 Lyn D. 1255876@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting comment from CL:<br />&nbsp;I walk for my main exercise, so can get away with modified ordinary outfits- swap jacket/shoes.<br />Your running gear is Fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-of-512---18-reality-bites#post-1255868 Mon, 19 May 2014 21:21:15 +0000 Anonymous 1255868@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wonderful running outfit. The lavender and deeper purple look great on you.<br /> Just wondering...is there a nursing home or daycare or hospital anywhere near you where you could volunteer once or twice a week to read to someone, hold babies, etc? That would let you dress in "real clothes" more often. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-of-512---18-reality-bites#post-1255865 Mon, 19 May 2014 21:16:08 +0000 Mo 1255865@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Denise, thanks! &nbsp;I did spend on gear again this year after a good couple years out of the loop. &nbsp;2 running skirts, 2 tanks, running tights, and a long sleeve top. &nbsp;Replacing my sneakers this week (but with an identical model, so no one will notice).<br />&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-of-512---18-reality-bites#post-1255849 Mon, 19 May 2014 20:52:57 +0000 CocoLion 1255849@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your date outfit was fabulous and I said so on that thread. &nbsp;Regarding the rest of the week, you look good in everything. &nbsp;I guess it helps to be cute and fit!</p> <p>I'm curious what percentage of your budget goes towards gear. &nbsp;I like what Angie said about your gear. &nbsp;Maybe that needs to be your shopping focus, just an idea. &nbsp;I know it's not as much fun, but it's reality. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-of-512---18-reality-bites#post-1255827 Mon, 19 May 2014 20:24:59 +0000 Zibbets 1255827@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE the purple gear and your polka dotted shorts!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-of-512---18-reality-bites#post-1255804 Mon, 19 May 2014 19:54:06 +0000 abc 1255804@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I admire your active lifestyle. &nbsp;I don't have as much drive as you, that's for sure. &nbsp;</p> <p>Please don't downplay your everyday outfits. &nbsp;You live a real life, not an imaginary one. &nbsp;Live for those Sundays of dressing up. &nbsp;I feel similarly when I can get into "real" clothes and let the world see me all gussied up, haha. &nbsp;You are not alone.</p> <p>I liked Angie's comments, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-of-512---18-reality-bites#post-1255736 Mon, 19 May 2014 18:08:36 +0000 Thistle 1255736@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kitty's know their stuff! </p> <p>Your workout capsule is looking terrific.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-of-512---18-reality-bites#post-1255731 Mon, 19 May 2014 18:02:45 +0000 Angie 1255731@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I corrected my typos.

Date day with BF every Sunday. &nbsp;This time to the movies and then a roadhouse for steak afterwards. &nbsp;Some quick shopping in between for household stuff. &nbsp;The world sees me in real clothes! &nbsp;:D</p> <p>So there's the slice of Mo life in FL these days. &nbsp;Gear and lounge driven. &nbsp;I suppose it makes me extra excited to put on my real clothes for Sundays out! &nbsp;Always a silver lining, right? &nbsp;;)</p>
