Hiking in the Flatirons

Top (similar) - Old Navy / Jacket - J. Crew Factory / Leggings (exact are sold out, I also love this pair with a mesh bottom, this pink color-blocked pair, and this moto-inspired pair) - Zella / Hat (currently on sale!) - Urban Outfitters / Sneakers (similar) - Nike / Earrings (similar) - Charming Charlie

Isn't that background stunning?! We took these photos in Boulder last week when we went out to hike in the Flatirons, which are right next to town. They're kind of crazy looking, these giant rocks jutting out of the mountainside. We went up into the hills three times over the weekend, and I somehow managed to forget how beautiful the views were and was taken aback every time.

I honestly thought I was going to hate hiking, but really I loved it. I'm not ready to go on a six hour summit climb or anything, but a walk through nature? Just my style. As long as it's mostly flat ;)

What's also just my style are these leggings - how fun are they?! I've long been a fan of Zella leggings, but they've really stepped up their game lately. This exact pair is sold out, but I'm seriously loving this pair with a mesh bottom, this pink color-blocked pair, and this moto-inspired pair. They're fun to wear for working out (or, ahem "hiking" in this case) but are so cute they're fun to wear around town too - three cheers for athleisure! My cousin said they were "leggings of the future" and my grandma didn't say anything but snapped the fabric on my leg, so I think she liked them too.

More Zella Leggings

What the trip really showed me though is that I need to work on my sneaker game! I currently own two pairs and one gives me blisters on my little toes if I sweat too much. The pair I'm wearing here is fun because they're hot pink, but also they're hot pink so they really don't work with most outfits. I came home and immediately ordered two new pairs of sneakers that I'm still waiting to get in the mail. I can wear sneakers to work, so I may turn into an all sneakers, all the time kind of girl.
