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.

So cute, yet so deadly (if you’re smaller than a peppercorn, anyway).
