Friday Fashion Fix: Polka Dot Blazer

In an attempt to be healthier, and to make better lifestyle choices, I joined a gym over the weekend. And I'm not gunna lie - something about it sorta freaks me out. Since moving last year, I honestly haven't met that many people in the town I now live, so I'm hoping joining a gym will perhaps change that... and let me work on my sweet, sweet glutes, too.

I went for the first time last night, and I was the only hipster in the joint... Doubting anyone in there knew who Friendly Fires or Local Natives, are.  Plus, I was the only girl with bangs - that part I actually enjoyed.

We'll see how it goes. Since I'm not trying to lose weight or get buff or anything, it was more of a make better health decisions choice. Just as long as it doesn't interfere with my online shopping time...

Oh, and I guess it's officially Polka Dot Week on House Of Jeffers! For this week's Friday Fashion Fix, I went with a laid back look with subtle contrast in patterns between the polka dot blazer and striped top... And of course, you know I had to bring in something bright with my red lipstick.

You may have noticed my new banner... Figured the place could use a little sprucing up. You like?

Aside from fashion, the other huge passion of mine is music. Since I was 13, I always clung to a music scene - which I give much credit for my love of writing as I used to read and dissect lyrics. I hold a huge admiration for song writers and musicians as I'm neither of the two... except for a short stint with piano lessons when I was 11. That didn't last long - my teacher would force me to play "Yellow Rose Of Texas", and I was more of a Green Day gal at the time.

Music and fashion go hand in hand. They are constantly changing, not everyone agrees with your taste or gets your opinion on why you like it, and both are an uber creative outfit of expression. And sometimes they don't conform to what everyone else likes... My taste in music is all over the place. Good fashion and music are the most similar because when you find a band/clothing you really love, you wear them out to the point that you'll eventually need a new one, but you'll still hold on to the old one.

My playlist of current favs includes:

Cake - Showroom of Compassion
The Black Keys - Brothers
Fiona Apple - When The Pawn
Fleetwood Mac - Rumours
Local Natives - Gorilla Mansion

Today, I was in a Two Door Cinema Club type of mood. I guess this meant that I'd go to the park and make an ass out of myself while jumping.

I did catch some good air, though.
