Featured Fit: Cause for Celebration!

By Jess

In June, LL posted about her wedding the previous year- Read about it here!

Even though my wedding was a bit further in the past, I figured what better day to reminisce than on our 4 year anniversary. So I'm following LL's lead, and posting a few old pictures from that special day!

We had a beautiful, sunny Saturday in Minneapolis on October 18, 2008. The trees had changed to their vibrant  autumn colors....

The "perfect leaf" was on every corner...

My sisters were my bridesmaids, and they wore orange dresses from J.Crew (I love a J.Crew wedding!)

My dress was a simple Nicole Miller gown. I didn't want a big train, or a poofy princess dress. Our wedding was pretty "simple" overall, so I felt that my dress fit the rest of the wedding. I remember finding this dress online, and then heading to Rush's Bridal, which was the only local store at the time that carried Nicole Miller.

Now, 4 years later, we again enjoyed a gorgeous October fall day. 

Our celebration included a kettlebells class at Balance Fitness with our friends!

The couple that sweats together, stays together!

..and then a lovely dinner at Restaurant Alma.

The kettlebells class was from 6-7, and it was a bit "aggressive" to assume we could be showered and at the restaurant by 8 pm, but we did it! I often tell Dusters that despite what he thinks, I'm actually pretty low-maintenance for a girl. Yes, I do write a slightly narcissistic blog about fashion, fitness, and fitness fashion yet I was able to shower and head out the door in 15 minutes.

That did mean there was no blow-drying my hair- just a quick side-braid and a headband.
