I rarely post my weekend outfits, because some combinations of Spice Girls t-shirts and plaid boxer shorts from 10th grade are best left to the imagination. This weekend, though, I was active! And, dare I say, quasi-athletic?
Outdoorsy-Katie doesn’t happen all that often, so it was worth capturing for posterity and evidence. So here I am, looking snazzy while surrounded by nature.
Saturday: Kayaking
- Purple sweatshirt – Gap
- Unseen khaki shorts – Old Navy
- Life vest – The Rocket Scientist’s mom
- Kayak – Kayaks ‘R Us?
I only agreed to try kayaking once The Rocket Scientist promised me that
- I probably wouldn’t get sea sick on a reservoir
- I probably wouldn’t tip over into the water
- Fish probably wouldn’t jump out and try to eat me
I love biology, but I love chlorinated pools even more, so this took some bravery.
But then I got pretty awesome at kayaking.
I should have known – both “Katie” and “kayak” begin with “k.” I’m also awesome at kangaroos, kites and potassium.
Then I got sleepy.
Sunday: Hiking
- Orange fleece – Old Navy
- Navy tank – thrifted
- Khaki shorts – Old Navy
- Floral kerchief – Gap
- Hiking boots – Chaco
The Rocket Scientist and I couldn’t do the hike we wanted to the river was crazy high! So we did some walking and then ate bison burgers in a mountain cafe, which is identical to hiking except without the exercise part.
Gratuitous insect photo:
So cute, yet so deadly (if you’re smaller than a peppercorn, anyway).
Looks like a full and active weekend! I’ve never gone kayaking but those are pretty much my fears as well. Fish in their natural habitat freak me out!
There were fish jumping out of the water! I’d only seen dolphins do that before! Kayaking was really fun – we’re already planning on going again.
I have never tried kayaking although I have done plenty of river-rafting. It’s funny that I do think of you as an outdoorsy girl. I like fashionistas in action!
