affordable activewear, JCPenney activewearThough I enjoy a good workout and love an early morning run, I tend to fall off at times when it comes to consistently working out. But I absolutely jumped at the chance when I was invited to the New Year, New You event by JCPenney. Dancing with the Stars champ Karina Smirnoff would be on hand leading a dance class, so I knew I had to attend.
But besides the opportunity to be whipped in to shape by a DWTS pro, I loved the JCPenney Xersion and CityStreets activewear lines. They're chic {you won't be embarrassed to be seen in these gym clothes!} and super affordable.

stylish blazers, how to be stylish and professional
I'm definitely a summer gal! By this time every year I'm craving summer dresses, floral tops and bright colors. Maybe it's the long hours spent at the office or the lack of sunshine, but the winter blues are definitely setting in. In efforts to brighten things up a bit, I like to incorporate my favorite summer pieces into my winter wardrobe. Not only does this expand my closet but my wallet as well! A winter staple of mine, especially for work, is a blazer. Blazers are essential in a versatile office wardrobe. Throw one over your favorite sundress or pair with a silky top and you've got yourself a fresh new look, using summer pieces that you already own.
