Oh…Hello! So nice to see you all on a Wednesday evening! Monday was just a brutal day for me which is why I didn’t blog. After lunch at work I suddenly got these very sharp pains in my stomach and I was so nauseous and dizzy and just felt hot and cold flashes constantly. I ended up having to leave work early (in tears) because I was in awful pain (and dry-heaving, ick). The nausea I could deal with, but the jabbing pains in my stomach were awful. I medicated and the next day I felt a bit better, but to be safe I ate only from the BRAT diet (bananas, rice, apple sauce and toast.)
Tuesday night I had an event for work so I didn’t even get home until 10 at night. So that’s why I’ve been gone!
Having had two days to recover, I got back into my workout routine this morning. It’s the first early morning workout I’ve done…ever. I woke up at 5:45 a.m. and headed to the gym (sans makeup—a first!) and my friend and I worked with our trainer. The workout was pretty intense today but I must admit it did feel amazing to get the workout done first thing and be able to feel accomplished first thing in the morning.
I’m definitely going to be doing morning workouts whenever they work with my schedule. It’s not as awful as I thought it would be and it’s nice to come home from work and just relax for the rest of the night.
I did have a chance take some OOTD photos for the past 2 days. Here is what I wore to the work event I had on Tuesday evening:
Dress- Marc by Andrew Marc New York (Nordstrom Rack)
Jacket- LC by Lauren Conrad Lace jacket (Kohl’s)
Tights- Hue (Macy’s)
Shoes- Jessica Simpson
Necklace- Forever 21
Jacket- LC by Lauren Conrad Lace jacket (Kohl’s)

I really love this dress and jacket combo. The jacket was bought for me by my lovely mother in law! I saw Chloe wearing it a few weeks ago and just loved it!
Today was a chilly day in Houston so I threw on my trusty H&M sweater coat:
Top- Ann Taylor
Sweater Coat- H&M
Pants- Express Editors
Shoes- Aldo
Belt- J.Crew

I hope everyone has had a great week so far! I’m just happy to be back to blogging and my normal routine.

Veronika.
I'm in LOVE with the lace jacket..and it's on sale! too bad they don't have my size ๐ will have to search the store this weekend.
I hate to say this, but are you positive you are not pregger?? Same symptoms here before I knew.
And I'm so proud of you for gymming w/o makeup!! Are you still working out w/ Randy?
Cme- i'm positive—i got the monthly annoyance today (TMI)!
i always love ur ootd's <3
You look so cute! I hope you are feeling better!
Aww im sorry you were sick! Some bug has been going around here too, the otherday i COULD NOT get out of bed. But unfortunately for me my coach does not like it when you miss practice, so six miles were ran with a snuffling nose =/. IN THE SNOW. fail..
I love how you belted your H&M sweater. i belt alot of mine too. What are you asking for christmas?
@swissfit—my husband and I are going to Paris for Christmas ๐ I'm really excited!
so cinched! love it!
@cinched- you know I love a good cinch! ๐
I really love you in pants! They somehow make your legs look ridiculouslyyyyyy long and lean!!

thanks amelia ๐ it's the shoes too—pointed toe shoes always elongate the leg!
Welcome back – glad you're feeling better!
And yes, working out first thing always makes me feel so accomplished. Now if only I could repeatedly get up early enough to do it…
And I need to go get that lace jacket ASAP. I've loved it on so many bloggers. You look great!
Love both these outfits, especially the Lauren Conrad lace jacket! ๐
Glad you're back and feeling better, V!! ๐
Loooove that H&M sweater coat… but you knew that, right? ๐

@A.co—I had a feeling ๐
Veronika, you look amazing in those pants. They totally suit you, I think you should wear them more often.
Sounds like you might have had some mild food poisioning ๐ The exact same thing happened to me last Thursday. I'm glad you're feeling better.
I love that first outfit – that jacket is so cute!
Love that lace jacket! I might have to go buy it tomorrow… Does it run true to size? I think I've tried on LC stuff at Kohl's and it sometimes runs small.
The jacket runs small. The one I have is a 4 but a 6 would be good too! I would size up
TWO outfits in one post – boy are we lucky! I love 'em both. I still can't get over the images with the new camera!
Morning workouts are the way to go! I did 5am 5x per week for years, right up until I was 9 months (and 8 days!!) pregnant. I can't do the morning thing anymore, and I miss it. It will become a great routine for you!
Lol, I was thinking maybe you were preggers too, but I see you already shut that one down! I love both outfits, but I really love the second one most. You look long and super lean in those trousers. Love that look on you!
Gorgeous dress! I love blondes wearing black, it looks amazing on you!! Why am I not blonde?? hahahaha. Kisses

That second outfit is great (the first one too btw) – love how the pants fit with those shoes!
Love both outfits, both so classic. The necklace is the perfect accessory in the first outfit, and I am loving that you did something different with the long shawl cardi and belt in the 2nd. It looks tremendous on you!
PS-hope you feel 100% soon, that sounds like a rough time ๐
@POLYVORINA— i'm so sorry I accidentally deleted your comment this morning because i was trying to publish it on my iphone…here it is :
