Happy Friday, you lovely human being!! I’m so pumped it’s Friday because that means it’s one day closer to a really exciting trip to San Francisco next week! Which means I have A LOT to get done! Just yesterday I filmed my first hair tutorial and today I’m recording some voice over for it AND a podcast. Filming and recording all this jazz means lots of editing and lots of learning. Meaning a learning curve. Meaning I’m googling everything and being taught by teenagers how to do things. Talk about being humbled constantly. Doing all this stuff for you guys to bring you even more fun things to look forward to on PaleOMG.
But until those new things come along, let’s talk about my recent outfits! I’ve been traveling A LOT lately, so my outfits range from at home, then to the airport, then Nebraska, Pheonix, Kansas City and back home again! This first outfit was on a day that the weather came down the a slightly cooler temperature and made me excited about fall! So I smeared on some darker lip stain and my new favorite high waisted faux suede skirt! This skirt will be awesome with some over the knee boots once it gets a little cooler out!

When heading off to Nebraska for a late flight, I wore comfy clothes that made me look like I still had my sh*t together. This knotted top with high waisted jeans and sneakers made clunking my way through the busy airport a complete breeze! Plus TSA Pre Check, that helps a ton, too! Be sure to size way down in these jeans, I normally wear a size 4 or 26 and I grabbed these in a size 0!

I have this mesh-lined sports bra in black but I loved it so much, I went out and bought it in this fun blue color! And these midrise leggings absolutely rock and aren’t see through, except for the cut mesh-lined spots on the side! These are the perfect gym pieces that make you stand out without your goodies hanging out!

After getting into Nebraska late on night, we woke up the next morning to head to my brother-in-law’s college football game. On a party bus. If you follow me on Snapchat, you know how all that ended. I kept in casual with one of my favorite pairs of distressed skinny crop jeans and this tank top that I also have in white but just had to get in another color because it’s so soft and I love the criss cross lines at the top!

Stop. You need this sweatshirt dress. I can’t press it enough. This sweatshirt dress gives me life. After a friend’s wedding that was the best wedding of all time, my hangover was trying to kill me. So after a shower, a gluten free cinnamon roll and a whole lots of water, this sweatshirt dress was all I could muscle when it came to dressing myself. And thank goodness for it. It’s the most comfortable dress you will EVER own! I wish it was colder out so I could sleep in it, too!

After being home for a day after Nebraska, I head back to the airport to head out on book tour. I don’t always get dressed up for the airport, but I couldn’t wait any longer to wear this bodysuit! It shows just a bit of cleavage, so you gotta be cool with that! But it’s so comfortable and keeps your waist looking small since it tucks into your jeans just right! And not to worry, it snaps at the crotch so it’s pretty easy hit up the bathroom when you need to!

Oh my LAWD, I lurrrrrv this sweater dress! And I was so sad to see that it had sold out. But not to worry! It’s back in stock in ALL sizes and it also comes in ivory!! And no, it’s not itchy at all. It’s the super soft, super comfy, super warm kind of sweater dress that you’ll want to wear all winter long!

I’m constantly inspired by other women. Whether that’s in the gym, in the kitchen, or when it comes to my wardrobe. I found this dress from A Pinch of Lovely when she posted it on her instagram and I used my LIKEtoKNOW.it to find out where she got it with just a double top of my thumb! When I was trying to figure out what to wear on book tour, I was so happy to easily find an outfit through someone else!

I snagged this dress right before I left for book tour and even though it was hot out, it was the perfect color for transitioning into fall. And it’s faux suede and faux suede is totes in right now! Their dress tend to run really big so keep that in mind if you’re trying to decide what size to get!

I SO look forward to rest days from the gym. Because I know that I’m not going covered in sweat. So I can actually do my hair and makeup and know it won’t get screwed up. BUT, those days away from the gym are usually super busy. So I keep my outfits comfortable and casual. These jogger leggings are THE BEST. They are so comfortable. And you can also get them in just plain grey, heather grey, and black! I want them in every color now! Best pant for a casual day OR the gym!

Last but not least, this lovely midi body con dress! It’s nice and snug and hugs all your curves just right! And it’s thick so any imperfections or things you want to hide, are hidden! Definitely size down in this dress, it runs big!

Happy Shopping and Have a Wonderful Weekend!
that grey sweater dress is just GORGEOUS!! and the red dress too…. and the bell bottom jeans! ah! you have the most enviable closet
Love those jeans. Very flattering!
Off topic, but what are your favorite ab exercises for definition that you do in cross fit? I know “abs are made in the kitchen” but would like to know what exercises have got you the best results for definition. I don’t do CF and love cable exercises (chops, etc). Thx.
if you want defined abs, eat clean and do olympic lifts. i don’t do certain ab movements, sometimes i have a workout with toes to bar or ghd sit ups, but any core definition has come from (partly genetics) and doing olympic lifts on a weekly basis!
I would love a look into you closet — how many wardrobe staples do you have that you rotate with your various outfits! Love your style!
Love the burnt orange dress and enjoy San Francisco! My favorite paleo-friendly place in the area is a restaurant called Gather (technically in Berkeley, but same area)
Stumbled on your blog last week and I’m hooked! I’m not paleo, but I’m very conscious about food choices and how they make my body feel and perform, so I find it very relatable. I also don’t do cross fit but lift heavy and exercise 5-7 days a week. I love that your blog covers so many aspects of fitness, food, and fashion. And your snapchat is pretty hilarious. Keep up the awesome content!!
thanks so much, natalie!! xoxo
Hi Juli! Im heading to Denver tonight for the weekend and am staying downtown at the hotel at Union Station. What are your favorite places to eat and shop in/around downtown?
Hi Juli! Love your style and wanted to let you know I completely appreciate you snapping your nail color! There’s so many times that I think you find the best nail colors! Could this become a usual thing? Thanks Juli!
Hey Juli! Stumbled onto your blog last week, and it’s quickly become one of my favorites! I’m not paleo or a cross fitter, but I eat very similar to you, and heavy lifting/fitness is a huge passion of mine. I love the varying content of food, fitness, and fashion (may or may not have made a few purchases after seeing some of your posts…). It’s so helpful to see fashion on someone with a lean muscular figure like mine, because I can get a better idea of how things will fit. Just wanted to say thanks and keep up the great content! And loving your snapchat also 😉 haha
awwww thank you so much for the support, natalie!
