pretty bird.

just showing off these beautiful earrings that i won in a recent giveaway hosted by teresa at delightfully darling. i've always loved the rich, vibrant colors found in peacock feathers. these shoulder dusters add just enough oomph to this simple outfit.

met up with the gang this morning for a yoga session at the beach park. it was my first ever experience with yoga. i stretched muscles i didn't know existed, i twisted my body in ways...well, you get the picture. as someone who never saw yoga as a worthy form of exercise, i may have to eat my words.
i'm hurting, i did break a tiny sweat, and best of all...
i was challenged.

have you tried yoga?

LOVE your earrings. They look stunning on you.
I've tried yoga once. It was from the p90x dvd and I HATED it. It was so boring... but I want to try it again, with a class, and a friend who won't let me quit :) I could definitely suffer through a class if I got to do it in front of the ocean :)
Maybe I'll have to try it out when we go to Maui in May!

Love the loose fit shape of this outfit! So relaxed, yet pulled together. And gorgeous clutch. My in-laws are in Kauai for the week, probably on a beach sipping on some tropical drinks. Sigh.

Juanita said...

A casually elegant look. Love the colour of the blouse, as well as the shimmer. Very pretty.

Rachel - Notes from my closet said...

I LOVE yoga, and am always surprised how intense and difficult it is, and how sore I can be the day following a good session. I think sometimes people see it as nothing more than "stretching," and it is SOOOO much more than that. And gurl, you KNOW I love those earrings. Durrrr....

I have a pair of earrings very similar. I love them! &as for yoga. I tried it on my own but I think a class would be a much better experience. :)

oomph. said...

ah, yes...dumb and dumber! now you have me laughing!

oomph. said...

you should definitely try an introductory course. i'm really hurting today, lol!

oomph. said...

i was just wondering what the difference was between yoga & pilates??

oomph. said...

the motivation of a class and others around you is definitely better than trying to keep up on your own!

oomph. said...

nothing drastic...second time i was talked out of going super short. i think they are afraid to cut it, which is a bummer! but definitely shorter and much, much thinner.

Call me M said...

Never tried yoga, but I would love too. I've heard it's the best exercise. Wish I had some company to go together.
Love those earrings by the way!

Oreleona said...

i really love those earnings!! i'm loving the color combo you have going on with your outfit :)

Unknown said...

beautiful earrings!And I tried yoga a while ago, and still do a few moves now, but not as stringent as I should be with exercise...

Great outfit, love the top and trousers and how nice are those earrings!

SpryOnTheWall said...

Such an elegant outfit, just in love with the top and pants! I've done yoga (I prefer Pilates), but I would certainly do it more if I could do it in such a fantastic location. I wanna go back to Hawaii for a vacay!

Relaxed and chic! Love this look!

You do yoga in paradise! *faints* I've never tried it, but only because I know am NOT flexible and the last thing I need is to get stuck or pull something or goodness knows. Those earrings are so pretty! I have a few feathery ones but I walk so quickly that when I wear them, they wind up flying along behind me.

Tara said...

Back when I was actually the gym going type, I took a weekly yoga class that I swear left me more sore than the step class I was also taking. There are some oddly placed muscles in the body that you just don't think about until yoga has them all stretched out of place :)

I love the peacock feathers, especially paired with such a gorgeously simple outfit. And your hair. I WANT YOUR HAIR!
