It started with Christmas. Otherwise known as Veggie Overdose 2010. Compliments of Loon Organics.
Boxes and Brussels.
Unfortunately I didn't get to the shop in time to meet the farmer, but I did get there in time to at least pick up the veggies. So what's all in the boxes? Christmas Cheer.
Veggies.
This picture doesn't do my produce justice. The parsnips, carrots, spinach and beets bags are just filled. I do, however, love how the sunlight shines in on just the one butternut squash. I think that means it's special. So special, in fact, that my booze had to get some new roommates.
Greatest Cupboard Ever.
To continue my weekend of good finds, I also went to the Mall of America yesterday. Since I want to run outside, and since outside is quickly becoming a refrigerator, I had to buy some cold-weather running gear. I normally don't post pictures of clothing finds, but Kelly over at Fitting Back In always posts her posh apparel finds and has inspired me to post mine.
Old Navy. $15 Vest & $10 Long-Sleeved Fleece.
Marshalls. $13. Fleece & Fuzzy Inside.
Urban Outfitters. $5 Skirt. Not For Running.
Why are my clothes on the kitchen table, you ask? Well, because at 8 o'clock at night that's the only place in my apartment with decent light. So my tablecloth gets to be in the picture yet again.
In case you didn't notice, I'm a bargain shopper, especially when it comes to workout clothes. I just can't justify spending a ton of money on something if I'm just going to sweat in it and get it all gross. Party dresses and clothes for work? Sure. I'll spend the money. But not on soon-to-be pit-stained exercise gear.
Speaking of stylish exercise gear, do you know who else has style? Sheldon.
Stylish, no?
Questions
- Do you spend a lot on you workout clothes or are you like me and spend as little as possible?
- Do you have any recommendations for cold weather running clothes?
- Let's place some bets. When do you think I'll have eaten all of the CSA veggies?
yes, that cupboard holds all of life's necessities :)
ReplyDeleteI think all that veg will be gone by mid to late week next week! :D
svedka vodka is my favorite!!
ReplyDeletei don't spend a lot - i buy my work out gear at target and old navy...and on sale.
Haha, I like the alcohol-veggie cupboard. I get almost all my running gear at target, cheap but good quality.
ReplyDeleteI love Sheldon's new sweater! I am big bargain hunter, I never pay full price for anything.
ReplyDeleteLOVE that the squash and booze share a cabinet!!
ReplyDeleteI usually get most of my workout stuff at Costco. It's pretty inexpensive to start but then every couple of months they want to get rid of it all for a new batch so they mark it way down and that's when I stock up!
I think you can definitely eat all the CSA veggies! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI am soooo guilty of being obsessed with Lululemon!! (and we all know its not cheap!) But lots of times you can find stuff on sale (although all sales are final). Usually I will buy it if its on sale, because you can never have enough cute workout gear :)
ReplyDeleteTheir wonder under leggings are soooo great for cold-weather running, and any of their running pullovers!! I also bought some legwarmers from there which work great if you want to continue to wear your cropped leggings!!
Hahaha booze and squash cupboard! LOVE IT!
ReplyDeleteI'm an in-the-middle spender when it comes to workout clothes. I have like 6 or 7 pairs of the Nike Tempo Track shorts and a few tops by Nike and Lululemon. I don't mind spending $$ on workout gear because I usually run like 5 days a week AKA I definitely get my money's worth! And for cool weather, I love thin, long sleeve tops that I can layer under running jackets and vests when it's extra cool... ooh and gloves. Lululemon makes amazing running gloves!
Haha booze + squash = greatest cupboard ever!
ReplyDeleteI'm all over the place with my workout clothes - some are Lululemon and Nike, and others are from Old Navy, and some are just ratty old t-shirts. :P
I LOVE that long sleeve fleece from Old Navy. I've been thinking about buying some cold weather running clothes, and that looks perfect!
Well I DO spend lots on Lulu Lemon but I justify it by wearing it around the house every night and all weekend long. HOW cute is Sheldon?! Stylish for sure.
ReplyDeleteI just got two great running tops at Marshalls! Both are Under Armor. They're super thin and have a kind of fleece-y feeling underneath. One's a mock turtleneck and the other is a 3/4 zip up. It has a zipper pouch at the left wrist and I stowed my chapstick there on a run yesterday :) I am going to have to check out ON for a vest, though, because I know it's going to get freeeeezing soon enough.
ReplyDeleteoh Sheldon looks so cute! I only have 1 sweater for my pup because she chewed up the other one. I swear it was an accident and she didn't mean it haha. I want to get her a cute new one for Christmas :)
ReplyDeleteWow!! I don't think I've ever seen such a big delivery of produce! Pretty impressive. :) That's going to keep you fed for awhile!
ReplyDeleteI'm totally a bargain shopper. I hate paying full price for things, unless it's something really fancy that I love. But when it comes to workout clothes, I'm all about the clearance rack. I found my absolute favority pair of running shorts at a sidewalk sale for dirt cheap, so sometimes my frugalness pays off!
And I love Sheldon's style :)
AWEEEE haha SHELDON <3 <3 what a little model :)
ReplyDeleteLOL the cupboard- one side alcohol, one side squash..no wonder the squash chose to set up 'home' in that top shelf ;)
Sheldon is so stylish :D and I love your skirt, very cool.
ReplyDeleteI'd love a veggie overdose too... mm!
Those are some great finds! Gotta love bargain shopping!
