Fall is in full swing here in Colorado. It was in the 70’s or below allll week and I absolutely LOVED it. Because I don’t have to fully wear pants all the time. I can wear slightly short dresses and pair it with booties and it’s totally acceptable. It’s wonderful. I wish it could stay fall all year. Especially since I just went shopping yesterday and ended up only buying long sleeve dress and and skirts. I’m refusing to face that the snow is coming. Because snow is stupid. There is no point in having snow in the downtown Denver area. There are mountains for that. And they are in driving distance. Get it together, Colorado. Figure your sh*t out.

How exciting is it that all of my pictures aren’t selfies? Really exciting actually. I get so sick of trying to take pictures of myself in the mirror. It’s freaking hard. Especially because your hand shakes. How do people get such good selfies? I try to learn but nothing improves. All well. So whenever my bf is around, I force him to take 20 pictures instead. Poor kid.

Date night outfit! And when I say date night, that means my boyfriend and I had a night out with my parents. We’re pretty crazy. Dinner and then we saw Gone Girl. I don’t know how I feel about that movie still.

I don’t know where the hell I wore this outfit, but I know I want to wear those pants EVERY.SINGLE.DAY. They are seriously the most comfortable pants ever! Do you see the blurry picture? Hard work I tell you.

Ladies night out outfit! I headed to dinner with my bestie, so of course I had to wear another slightly short dress. Someone told me on instagram that I forgot my pants. I replied back by erasing their comment. I ain’t got time for idiots. No sir.

This outfit was an outfit I wore to brunch with two of my lovely guy friends. I was trying to figure out what to wear and wasn’t sold on either outfit so I asked instagram. They were half and half, so it really didn’t help me at all. But you know what, I’m not going to tell you which one I picked! HA!

If you can’t tell by previous posts, I’m pretty big into bargain shopping. You tell me a pair of boots are $160, I will absolutely try to find them for half off. With all the sales that are constantly out there, you can always find yourself a bargain. And that’s why I shop on The Clymb all the time. I buy workout clothes, shoes…and more shoes, I bought a giant suitcase, bike gear, camping gear (if I ever camped) and pretty much anything that excites me. I have used The Clymb so many times for workout shoes and I love that they have New Balance shoes. This pair of New Balance 10V2 Minimus Glow in the Dark Running Shoe was originally $110 and I got this pair for $75.

Last year I bought a pair of Sorel Tivoli’s on The Clymb for half off and was SO PUMPED that they had another sale on different Sorel’s this year. This year I bought the Sorel Winter Fancy Insulated Boots for $80, which were originally $160. So warm! Colorado winters ain’t gettin’ me down! Get both pairs of shoes on The Clymb today!

    Why am I not shopping more at Target for myself?? Your clothes are so cute, and I really love the dresses w/booties look too.

    Wait until you can’t keep up with your parents on a night out with them. Then you really know you’re old and boring 🙂

    Juli, Do you ever have a problem with rubbing/blisters on your ankles from ankle boots? Mine are not tight at all but I feel like the edges rub my ankles in bad ways 🙁

    1. juli says:

      No, but sometimes I wear little socks with the booties, the no show socks are awesome

    Looks like I need to make a Target run!

    LOVE how you are the bargain shopper, because that is how I am too! It’s seriously stupid to pay full price for anything these days, when you can find so many sales/discounts/coupons online. And I cannot remember the last time I paid $100 plus dollars for jeans…I’m a GAP girl! 🙂

  5. Laura @SheEatsWell says:

    LOVE your Athleta pants. Look so comfy too. You really pull them off…give me courage to try to as well ha ha.

  6. Ann says:

    Love these fashion tips! I see pieces like this and don’t know what to do with them so I pass them by. Juli, you look like you have really slimmed down. Are you doing something different?

      i talk about body changes this week on my Weekly Workouts post, check out mondays post

        I second this request. I totally understand why most HLBs especially in the paleo/xfit world prefer to talk more about performance and “feeling good” vs. actual asthetics, but it’s still something people are interested in. You seem to “have it all” in terms of being strong, fit, healthy and having a perfectly balanced physique – so thats why people are curious. Maybe you could do a post talking about your overall fitness and nutrition strategy lately, beyond just, “used to xfit competitively, then stopped.” Not criticizing at all – totally love all your recipes and your blog overall!! Just seconding the interest…

        Thanks! I checked out the post. How I wish I could have a story like that! But, I will have to keep up the old fashioned way of tweaking my diet and exercise and figuring out why I am not losing weight or getting lean. Glad you are in a great place! Cheers.

  7. Christa @ Living Unbalanced says:

    I am so glad those comfy pants are from Target. Time to make one of my “I don’t know how I spent $100 on clothes when all I needed was toilet paper” trips to Target!

  8. Kirsten says:

    I really admire your self-confidence and the way you “don’t take shit from no one.” Honestly, I strive to be more like that. Love your fashion, food, and workouts!

  9. Brianna says:

    I love finding deals too! Juli check out HauteLook and ideel they have Apps for the iphone. I’ve ordered designer things at a steal price 🙂 (currently waiting for my fall Tahari boots!)

    That red top + jeans is such a cute look! Love your outfits!
