This is pretty much a staple of the summer. Cut offs one size too big (they fit better that way, trust me) and a loose tank top with some sandals. Easy. Peasy. Plus, it’s been in the 100’s lately, and this is really all I want to wear. Besides nothing, but I hear that’s socially frowned upon or something.
Kidding.
This heat has also made running close to impossible. I know, EXCUSES EXCUSES, right? But seriously. Running in 90+ degree weather? I just don’t think that’s even healthy. So the only chance we have to run is in the early morning, and with Sam’s sleeping being kind of all sorts of off now (oh who am I kidding, ALWAYS), doing anything in the early morning is out of the question. So running has been few and far between, sadly. BUT thankfully we have a stationary bike in our house for cardio, and of course I’ve been doing my Tone It Up workouts, all in the comfort of our living room. With my baby crawling through my legs. Nothin’ better, if you ask me.
What do you like to do for exercise when it’s hot? We need to get ourselves a pool ASAP because swimming is where it’s atttttt.

I love your hair! How do you get those waves?
Katie
Aw thanks Laura! I actually have a post coming up soon with a tutorial on this exact hairstyle!! It’s SO easy! But for now: I wash it at night and let it air dry while I sleep, then spray some sea salt spray the next day and scrunch it up with my fingers! :)

Cute outfit!
I’m in Phoenix, so I hear you about the hot weather. I’ve been walking in the mornings or evenings, and I have to bring water for my dog and me even then.
We have a pool, thankfully, and I love it! I try to do exercise a bit when I’m in there, but it’s much more fun to just splash and play with the kiddos!!
Funnily enough, even with the super hot days, after about 30-45 minutes in the pool we’re all freezing! The kids run into the house with shivering blue lips.
Katie
Ohhhh man, I know you know about heat in Phoenix!! So fun that you have a pool, though! That is a DREAM for me! :) It’s definitely on the “must-have” list for when we buy a home!

I love your top! I’ve bought a few of these racer back style tops, but I can’t seem to find the right bra to wear underneath…do you have any suggestions? (The racer back bra I bought ends up showing and I feel like it shows too much under my arms…)
Katie
Totally get that!! I just wear a lace bandeau underneath- Aerie has cute ones!

Love this! I totally agree – cutoffs definitely ARE more comfortable when they’re too big!
The only exercise I get when it’s hot out is walking laps around the mall… ;)
