Outfit of the Day. Like a fairy

What to do on a day when you've got absolutely nothing planned till 6 pm? Spend hours playing dress up to get ready. I love feeling pretty and costumey, and I also love being able to pull it off in real life. I thrifted this $4 skirt yesterday and decided I needed to play with it while ideas were still fresh in my mind, and this is what I came up with!
What I'm wearing: lace tank top from rag stock, Charlotte Russe corset thrifted for $5, garage sale kissing butterfly belt, thrifted skirt worn with slip, thrifted black ballet flats.

The flowers are from an old dance recital, the earrings are from a garage sale

I went with no eye liner today, I have a white shimmer in the inner corners of my eyes, pink eyeshadow on the lid, matte gold above the lid, and white along the lashes, topped of with kirkland signature mascara. Wearing e.l.f. bronzer and clinique lipstick in rhubarb poppy

the belt! this thing is from a garage sale I went to when I was nine, then I grew into it a couple of years ago :)

Thank you to my lovely sister for taking these photos, I'm really pleased with how they turned out.

Healthy Granola Yoga

Hey everyone! I went to a yoga class at Zenon dance studio in Minneapolis today! It was open level, so I figured why not give it a try? There were about 16 people in the class, a fairly diverse group of people. There were some 30 something women, a middle aged man and a 50 something woman, as well as 3 older guys who had APPARENTLY been doing yoga a while because I can promise you your average grandpa is not that flexible.

 Over all, the class itself was GREAT. I got a lot out of it and felt good afterwards, however, parking in Minneapolis sucks. And while Zenon has really reasonable prices for dance classes, I found yoga, Pilates, and Zumba classes at my community center for about half the price. The community center is also closer and has free parking. I'd love to continue taking yoga, and for me, the community center is just more reasonable.

This morning I ran off without breakfast by accident. I am a firm believer in good breakfasts and I happened to leave mine sitting on the counter. Whoops! When I got back from class I ate it right away. I had these amazing granola-type clusters from Costco, about a handful, with a banana and some of those fresh berries that are on the counter.

 Have you taken yoga classes? How was your experience?
