Today’s outfit started with the shoes (it had to be flats!). As A. mentioned, we ran our marathon yesterday and it was awesome! The feeling of crossing the finish line of my first marathon was incredible! And thank you to all of you who left comments with good luck wishes before our big day!
Post-race, I’m moving at a much slower pace. I’ve been walking pretty slowly and I’ve finally and slowly come to writing this post. But as tired and slow as I am, I feel wonderful. Also slow paced: my ideas for getting dressed this morning. So I copped out and turned to E. for style inspiration and copied this signature layering look of hers.

I love the look of just the sleeves peaking out from under this tank, creating a seamless layer and extending the life of a summer item by adding sleeves to it.

In addition, I’m wearing this cute pendant that I got from “It’s all about the print” on Etsy. I got three, because they were only 6.95 a pop, and there was a ‘buy two and get one free’ March special going on when I purchased them. (I think that same offer was extended to April sales!) I liked all the different designs the seller had and I was smitten by them being made of Scrabble pieces. I love Scrabble and love that my additiction is no longer just limited to playing the game – now I can accessorize with it as well. S.

Congratulations on completing the marathon! I am so impressed. My husband is training for a marathon right now, so I’ve seen how much work goes into it. I love those necklaces, especially the Scrabble tile! You look great!
Big Congratulations!! Love the necklaces you got – I’m going to have to check out that etsy shop. Also, adore those flats!
I love the etsy store. I also love the 3/4 sleeve shirt with the top. I’m going to give that a try!
Congratulations to you too! Running 26.2 miles is a huge accomplishment and you should be very proud of yourself.
More congrats from me, beautiful! SO impressed by your marathon accomplishment.
Thank you all, I’ve been feeling awesome about it and all your laudatory comments have just been icing on the cake! :)
Congrats on finishing your first marathon! I love this outfit, especially the skirt.
Thanks for the link to the etsy shop – I bought gifts for my mom, my sister, and myself there today!
