t’s hump day, ladies; we’re halfway through the week. and my schedule is in full blown mode complete with back-to-gym attendance. my muscles are complaining, but it feels good to be in a routine again. as we age, exercise is so important as we lose muscle mass at a rapid rate. use it or lose it as they say. so i’m lifting weights, rowing and running to keep my machine fine tuned. it’s all about maintenance these days.

dress | booties | belt | necklace | similar leather bucket handbag
while my muscles adjust to being used again (my gait has been temporarily reduced to hobbling), i’m keeping it casual with a denim shirtdress and suede booties. if you watched the video from sunday’s post, you’d recognize this dress from the new line by A New Day available at Target.
the dress came with a self-tie sash that i swapped for one of my favorites – a classic braided belt. these suede booties are seeing a lot of action lately. they’re a great transition item that’s helping to ease my wardrobe from summer to fall. the mid-heel height is perfectly comfortable, and the gold grommets add just enough detail to give them some oomph.
a denim dress is a wonderful alternative to blue jeans. perfect for those days when you want a casual chic look yet comfort is a high priority like today. a leather bucket handbag is added due to its slouchy shape that keeps the laid-back vibe going. plus, a gold necklace for some bling.
all right, ladies, let’s get wednesday started. it’s day two at the gym for this girl. wish me luck!

You go GET it, girl! Blessings to you today!
Beth, you’re making the rest of us look bad…ha! Take care and don’t overdo… Navy and camel…classic…the boots are fab… xoxo
Thank you for giving us fresh, fun inspiration, and ideas how to keep our wardrobes from becoming stale. Since I’ve been following you, my husband has noticed that I’ve upped my fashion game. I give you full credit!
Nice! Go get ’em!
Good for you–those sore muscles will flex soon enough and be grateful! I love a denim dress. Looks like a beautiful transition piece.
I love this look on you! I checked out Target’s website and the dress looks so much better on you than on the model. I would like to see how you style this dress for fall.
