Touching Bases

Sorry for the slow up in posts:) I rarely go anywhere since I'm on vacation and I am pretty sure you don't want to see me rocking my PJ's in every post. I probably won't get around to posting often this week either because I have a business trip (when did I get old enough to say that!?)

(Nothing special about this outfit but it's all from Target...except the Sam Edelman wedges that I am officially obsessed with. I look mad in this pic but I'm not...it was just hot outside! The heat affects my smile:)

Allow me to share the highlights of my past week though:

1. I took the best NAP EVER on Thursday! It was awesome. I slept so hard that when I woke up, I thought it was the next day....literally. In real time, it was only about 4 hours but it felt like days!

2. I finally saw Blind Side with Sandra Bullock. I enjoyed it. I wish someone would adopt me...any takers? I clean up well and I do dishes:)

3. I jogged 20 minutes on Saturday! That's the longest I have ever jogged in my life! I was so surprised at myself that I kept looking at my reflection in the mirror to make sure it was me that was still standing upright. Question: Does anyone else jog to a beat? I have to jog to a beat. Meaning if a fast song comes on and I can't land my steps with the beat of the song...it throws me off. Am I the only one??!?? So far, the best jogging song for me is Hey Ya by Outkast and some other not so nice rap songs!

P.S...I'm hoping to meet a few Dallas bloggers this week, I'll keep you posted on my foolishness and shenanigans:)

Betty or Wilma?

I can't help but feel like Wilma or Betty from the Flintstones in this dress...which means I LOVE IT! I always loved how chic and form fitting their outfits were. Is it just me? I got this dress from the ASOS Africa line. I usually am attracted to ethnic prints and this was right up my alley. It's ethnic with a modern silhouette. I've had it for a minute. I'll be honest. It was a little snug on the jelly but I recently lost 10 lbs so I decided to see if the jelly was ready! It's ready! I love it!

I'm wearing it with Aldo Shoes and a F21 necklace/earrings. I've had that orange bag for years. I got it at a boutique in Philly when I went to visit my cousin. I am pretty sure this dress will be in heavy rotation this summer. I'm wearing heels here but I can easily take off the jewelry, throw on a belt and sandals and go to a festival or something.

It's a little on the short side but a little leg never killed anybody:)

In other news, for some reason I am thrown off this week. All day yesterday, I thought it was today. (Did I confuse you yet). I thought yesterday was Wednesday when it really was Tuesday. I even missed my favorite Tuesday shows!!! UGH!!!! I was so mad at myself! Then fast forward to today and I did the same thing. Really Reiko? Really?

So who do you think? Am I more like Wilma or Betty?

This is what the model looks like in the dress (click here)...

And for further randomness...You should know that I am obsessed with the song Soul Sista by Train. I sing it really loud every single time I hear it!

If you are wondering how I am losing the weight...I joined Weight Watchers and I work out whenever I can. But mostly it's due to this class. This is my actual Zumba teacher and those are the actual songs and dances we do:) I'm not in the video...trust me that would be a travesty...but I love my ZUMBA CLASS and teacher!

Yes, I get down like that!

And trust me, we get alot more grimey than this. Karen has us working it out! She has this same level of energy every single time. The above video is my favorite routine cause I get to wind it like that long hair Asian woman on Soul Train:) My buddy Ro usually has to convince me not to jump off the roof before the class is over!
