New Summer Finds

New Summer Finds on a Budget

Ok you all know I love a good deal! I mean hell I have a whole section on here with all my new findings! This outfit I found at a pop up shop from Discount Fashion Warehouse. I really wish I would have came here sooner so all my local friends could run up and get it themselves but it looks like today is the last day for the Mentor location- but by looking from their instagram they have a location in Elyria and Columbus. So if you are up for an adventure let me know... 

I will tag along! 

I got this whole outfit you guys for $20!! Both are originally from Express. The top is a lace front body suit. Great for those nights of going to the bar and drinking. You know what I mean- spending hours trying to figure out how to snap it back up in the crouch haha. But no - for real its super cute! The struggle of being a girl I guess.

I will say this though... You have to wear what I like to call

 "sticky boobs" 

                                            This is a no normal bra type of shirt.

Ps. Don't mind the hair to the right.

It was a wake up and throw on clothes cuz Grammy said we were going shopping kind of day. 

Anyways back to the real topic here.... The outfit.

So the body suit I am wearing a Large because well I am in charge and my pants are also a Large. I honestly am in love with these pants. They are a light weight wide leg linen pant. Great with flats or wedge shoes. The body suit was only $8 you guys and the pants $12!

I looked at the tag of the bodysuit and ya it was almost originally $50!

So can we all say together.. SCORE!

This outfit would look super cute paired with either a jean jacket or long blue sweater. I can see it now!

As always if you know of a good deal let me know! Your girl loves to shop.. but also loves a great deal.

Til next time friends

Summer Fashion

Summer Fashion Finds

I don't know about you but finding the best summer outfits are my favorite. And I love them even more when you can change your shoe and your outfit goes from casual to date night. I like to call it the Cinderella effect. 

And honestly that is how I feel about this gem. 

Believe it or not I found this at American Eagle! I typically don't shop there but I swear the retail gods were speaking to me. When I think of American Eagle I normally think of my high school days finding a basic tee that I wore just to advertise I bought a $30 shirt for the world to see. haha I know you all did it so don't even think about rolling your eyes at me!

Anyways- I needed a new outfit like I needed a hole in my head- and decided to hit up my favorite place..... The local mall. ( I don't know if you read that sarcastically or not but that was the point).  

Side note: as I get older the mall is less and less appealing. I am your typical girl in her 30's who would rather on line shop and hope for the best- but this day I needed an outfit STAT!

Like I said before I am not sure why I walked into American Eagle but I did- and I am so happy that my legs took me there because this is where I found my new favorite outfit! 

Considering I am not a size 2 hell not even a size 6 I was shocked that the clothes even fit me there. So that was a huge plus for me!

I found this button front tank for about $20 ( wearing size large) and these linen striped pants

 ( wearing size large) for about $40ish. Now the pants that I linked are not the exact pair but they were the closest I could find on their site.  

My headband I got from my local tanning salon and my bangles are a range of stores that I can not link. During the day I wore flip flops but you can totally wear wedge shoes with this outfit and grab a light jacket for a date night.

This outfit is super soft, super comfy and I will definitely be going back to American Eagle to shop for some new gear! Actually since I tried to link the stuff I bought I already got side tracked and put stuff in my cart haha I mean come on guys I told you I am an add to cart type of girl! 

I hope this helps you find the perfect summer outfit you can go from casual to date night with!

My Sol Family

-My Sol Family -

Today marks ONE YEAR of working out! That is a huge deal to me and I honestly owe it to my family at Sol Cycle. If you are looking for a place that is uplifting and always encouraging you to be the best version of yourself then this is the place.

One year ago my friend Rose asked me to take a Pound class. I honestly never heard of it and had no idea what the hell she was talking about. I was scared because well... Jamie doesn't work out- but I knew that I needed to start getting back into shape. I had gained over 40lbs and was not healthy by any means.  The morning of the class Rose texted me saying... " See you tonight!" and I honestly wanted to tell her I didn't feel good or something came up so I could get out of it. 

But I didn't. I sucked it up and decided to go to a class that I had NO IDEA what it was about. 

The moment I walked in to the studio I was greeted with nothing but love. A girl could get use to this! That is when I saw my girl Casey. I swear the moment you meet this girl you just instantly fall in love with her. Honestly I wish I met her when I was younger because she totally would have been my BFF4L. hahaha - taking it old school with that one. 

Anyways- That first class SOLD ME! It sold me on working out- it sold me on becoming a better version of myself and it sold me on the fact that I NEEDED to sign up and become part of the 

Sol Family. 

Side note: if you don't know what Pound is I like to say it is a mix of dance moves, yoga and hiphop all while doing squats and hitting ripstix ( weighted lime green drum sticks) together to the beat of the music. Basically amazing!  

The next month or so I started trying out the other classes they offered- Cycle ( which honestly my first class I hated and I thought my legs were going to fall off) but now I love-  Bootcamp, TRX 

( truthfully I never tried it but I need too) Pilate and Core. 

They have the most amazing instructors there too. I have fell in love with everyone. When I say that they treat you like family they really do.

I have NEVER in my life have gone to a gym where people know your name- ask how you are doing... AND CARE ABOUT YOU!!! I mean not just the instructors or owners I mean EVERY SINGLE PERSON!!!!
The owner Paola even brings her dog to the studio. His name is Argent and is their little mascot! So cute!  I can't tell you which class I like more. But what I can tell you is that you will find me there most nights of the week. I might be cycling with one of my girls or doing Pound with Casey or Pilate with Mel. These classes are for everyone!

I am telling you- you need to check this hidden gem out. From day one I have been non stop talking about this place. In fact since joining I have got my friends to join too. And what better thing to do with your friends then work out! ( I can not believe I said that- Little old me who use to HATE working out). So thank you SolSprint for letting me be part of your family!

Here is to another year of crushing my weight loss journey!
