Toronto fashion blogger shares a casual summer outfit idea: Floral Vest from Zara, Rag & Bone Boyfriend Jeans

Happy Monday! I hope you had a nice weekend and a lovely Mother’s Day.

This past weekend was jam packed for me, between spending time outdoors, attending a concert, and running the Sporting Life 10k.

I ran the race last year, but I was actually more nervous for this year’s run because I hadn’t trained nearly as much as planned. I spent most of April with an annoying cold and cough, so I wasn’t able to go for any runs during that time. Luckily, I was able to get a couple of runs in over the past week, but that’s not nearly enough preparation! Nonetheless, I was prepared to power through the race as best I could. While I had to take a few walking breaks, I managed to complete the full 10k and got that huge adrenaline rush that makes it 100% worth the pain. My time was a little bit slower than it was last year, but at least it wasn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be.

While I was proud of my final time, it’s a bit frustrating once you start hearing how much quicker other people completed the race. My first reaction is to feel badly about my time in relation to other people’s, but it’s important to remember,”comparison is the thief of joy.”

I need to forget about all of the other people and focus on how proud I am that I completed a 10k race. That’s kind of a big deal! I still can’t believe that I’m able to do that, because I used to hate running. One of the things I’ve grown to love about the sport is that it’s a personal challenge and you can always do better.

Anyhow, onto the outfit I’m wearing here. Today, it’s all about boyfriend jeans and florals. In my opinion, when you pair these together, you’re guaranteed to look cute, stylish and ready to take on the day!

  5. Exactly, it’s amazing that you competed the race! I can’t ever imagine doing that. Your hard work and commitment to training paid off 🙂 I love the kimono you’re wearing here. The fringe on it is so on trend 😉

    • You’re so right…we can all relate to that quote. It’s a shame, but hard to shake that kind of thought process for some reason.

    • I haven’t been a “runner” for that long, so it’s a work in progress.

      And thanks – I’ve tried on MANY pairs of jeans in my day!

  19. I love this outfit, the boyfriends jeans are perfect with the floral kimono! Congrats on your 10k, just finishing is a huge accomplishment!! I used to compare my times too and although it gave me motivation to push harder, I learned to challenge myself based on my old times rather than the times of others! You go girl!

  20. A HUGE congrats on your race!!

    Also, I am OBSESSED (seriously just obsessed) with those boyfriend jeans. I’ve been looking at buying a pair for a while now, but haven’t found any in store that I like and am nervous about buying them online since I have bigger legs and am picky about pants. So cute on you <3

    • Thank you – and congrats to you! I really loved your post.

      I wouldn’t typically buy jeans online for that same reason. They’re so specific to each person, that it’s hard to know what size to buy, let alone if they will look good.

  21. Congrats on running the 10K! I just did a mini and had the same thoughts after the race. You gotta just focus on you and be so proud of your accomplishments!

    On another note… those jeans. Obsessed!

    • It’s almost like we forget the pain we endure once the adrenaline kicks in at the end of the race.

      And thanks – I wear those jeans waaaay too often 😉

  28. Usually my comments are more substantial, but all I can say is “Yay you on that 10K!” and “That vest is life right now”. Yep, that nails it on the head! 😉

  32. WOW a 10k?? That’s amazing! I’m over here preparing for a 5k… by eating burgers all the time and not excercising… haha. That’s seriously impressive! I used to fret about my time with the other runners but I’ve recently learned to just be happy for other people if they had better times than me. We can always improve later but I’d want people to be happy for me if I made good time so I just let them have it. That way we’re all happy! :]
    I am super loving your vest – it’s so pretty! I like the fringe detailing! So lovely!
