Featured Fit: New Year's Eve

Cool J in Minneapolis

Welcome to 2013 readers! I could follow suit with all the fitness bloggers out there, and tell you all about my resolutions for 2013, but I won't. I will tell you that one of them is to take rest days, and not feel guilty about it. I'm cozying up with the husband and the animals, and sharing some pictures of our evening last night. And I'm not feeling guilty! Well...I'm trying not to.

I will spare you all my resolutions, but I would like to take the time to say THANK YOU for reading in 2012! LL and I have really enjoyed writing this blog. 2012 was our first full year with the Right Fits, and we have had a blast. We look forward to continuing to share our experiences with fitness, fashion, and fitness fashion with you in 2013. Keep coming back for more!

So back to New Year's Eve: Our friends Susie and Sam hosted a great party last night. I struggled ahead of time as to what to wear, but settled on an old dress you may remember from Vegas (dresses so short you can't sit down?)

Oh Vegas, what a good time we had...

Remember this?

Nothing says New Year's Eve better than sparkles, and this dress glimmered! Flashy enough for Vegas equals flashy enough for NYE 2013, right?

Unfortunately January in Minneapolis is not quite the same as Vegas in April- in terms of the right fits/appropriate attire, and especially in terms of temperature. So I had to tone down this dress a bit. I did so by pairing it with warm leggings and tights, and then topping it off with a bright red bubble necklace.

The party was a blast- good food, plenty of drinks, champagne, games (Battle of the Sexes- women won!), music, dancing, and other shenanigans. A huge thanks to the host and hostess for having us all over! Good times.

 Welcome to 2013!

How does the Right Fits (in Minneapolis) get home safely on NYE?
Things did escalate a bit..as you can see in this picture:

But we had planned ahead. A few days ago, I booked a ride home with "You drink, we drive". This service allows you to drive your car to wherever you want (whenever you're ready), and then they will pick you up at a designated time/place, and drive you and your car home safely. They arrive at the scheduled time with two drivers. One driver will drive your car to your house, and the other driver follows behind. It's a little more expensive than a cab, but it was timely and worth it for us, as cab rides would be difficult to find on NYE.

This party was in the suburbs, so we could have been waiting around for quite awhile for a cab, so this service worked out great for us! I highly recommend it.

So that's how we stayed safe on NYE. I hope you also stayed safe, and had a great evening.

Here's to 2013 and all the fitness, fashion, and fitness fashion experiences that it will bring!

Finalize My Fit: Vegas Attire Recap

By Jessie

Las Vegas has come and gone, and I haven't yet posted a recap of the attire.

 Las Vegas allows you to wear dresses a little bit shorter, and perhaps a little bit "tackier" than my conservative city. I'm not complaining- it was fun to take some liberties with my outfits for this special weekend.

Dress #1:

Dress #2:

And here is the finished product:

Don't all the ladies look phenomenal?

The zebra dress was definitely "so short I couldn't sit down". The combination of short and tight was a bit of a failed fit for me, as I spent most of the night pulling it down after it crept up as we walked around the Strip.

The silver dress may have also been short, but it was not as tight, so I feel like I could possibly wear it again.

We had a lot of fun over the weekend, dancing, a Cirque de Soleil show, great food, and lots of laughs and memories with all the girls.

A bit congrats to the two brides-to-be! So excited for both you on your upcoming nuptials!

Failed Fit: Thong Under Bikini

By Cool J

I wasn't sure that anything could top LL's post on the failed fit that was Bikini Jeans - yikes.

But if the Bikini Jeans  could be topped, it would only happen in one place:  

Las Vegas, baby!

Yes, this past weekend was the much anticipated bachelorette party in Vegas, and the abundance of failed fits was remarkable.  One particular failed fit occured at the Palms Hotel pool party. 

Now, my girlfriends and I would not normally be hanging out at the Palms pool...Jersey Shore anyone?

The pictures don't quite capture the d-baggery of this party. You had to be there.
However,  the people-watching was phenomenal.
Though the party was not our usual "scene," the 8 of us ladies tried our best to embrace the experience.

But did we fit in? Not so much...
Had we worn thongs, we might have looked like locals. 
Thongs were the norm at the Palms.

But let's be honest- a thong alone is not enough. 
A Palms Pool Party Patron (PPPP) needs to make a statement.
And the best way to make a statement?

A thong UNDER your bikini....

Yes, look closely. That's a thong UNDER the bikini. 

Epic. Failed. Fit. 

Now I'll admit. This post could be interpreted as a little mean. 
(Perhaps a tad "superficial" old FB friend?)

Perhaps I just don't understand Las Vegas style. I'll let you decide...
