Avenger Inspired Outfit: Thor

So, I know I am being totally random with the planning of these posts. My original thought was to do one a week, but I didn't want you to have to wait that long. Because I know these are the highlight of your day! Haha.

Today's Avenger Inspired Outfit is for Thor. Thor is the brother to my personal favorite non-Avenger super villian Loki.

Thor's outfit would be great for a night out but I would also wear this to work. Because I'm a graphic designer and people expect us to be eccentric. But if you change out the boots for some flats or nice black heels it turns very conservative. Until people notice the details of the jewelry. Which is how I like to roll. I mean, really, I wear a necklace with a fish on it. It makes people wonder.

The earrings I love because they remind me of Thor's helmet, which in doing research for this (ha, I love blogging, looking at pictures of Chris Hemsworth is research!) I found Thor doesn't wear his helmet in the movie, that I remember or can find Google images of.  Isn't that weird?

Avenger Inspired Outfit: Hawkeye

Today's Avengers Inspired Outfit is inspired by Hawkeye, everyone's favorite marksman. Now, I haven't seen the Avengers movie (Blasphemy, I know!) so this Hawkeye's color scheme is based more on the comic book character, rather than the movie.

The comic book character is wayy purple. So he is kinda my second favorite Avenger. But did I mention my boyfriend is also an archer? That probably helps too.

Avenger Inspired Outfit: Loki

I'm not a fashion concious person. Most days I would rather wear pajamas than get dressed. But, then I discovered Polyvore. Actually, I discovered it a while ago, but I've been playing with it like all day.

That site is addicting.

So I decided to start something new! Outfits!
Inspired by the Avengers. At least, for a few posts they will be. Until I can find some other inspiration for outfits!

Okay, Okay.
Loki is not an Avenger. But I LOVE Loki. I even have a cat named after him. 
Not sure why, I just always liked him.
I think the internet feels the same, considering how much Loki stuff is out there, especially on Etsy.
And believe me, he lives up to his name.

But really, I think Loki is just misunderstood.

Today's outfit is prominently black and green, with a splash of gold. These outfits will be more inspired by the comic book characters, with maybe some of the movie thrown in.

My favorite part is the necklace. I would totally wear it. My Loki would be proud.

Work Out in Style

So, I've noticed that I get inspired to work out by looking at work out clothes. Now, mind you, I've never been one for fashion, but I love looking at work out clothes. Is that weird?

To inspire me to be better at this whole working out thing, I made my VERY FIRST polyvore thingy. Let me know how I did!

1) UNDER ARMOUR Armour Sports Bra DD Cup - $57.99

I've never spent this much money on a sports bra.. but I've never owned one, either. And I'm starting to really think I need to invest in one. Apparently they make a big difference. And this one is purple! 

2) Women's Under Armour HeatGear Sonic 2.5 Inch Shorty Shorts- $25

Okay, so it will probably be a while before I wear comfortable wearing this outside where people can see me. But when I'm at home, I could do this. Plus, again, they are purple. This is the basis of many of my decisions. If something comes in purple, it is instantly better. But I am thinking in California summer these will be useful since I won't want to keep my A/C on while I'm working out. 

3) UNDER ARMOUR Tech T-Shirt - $23

I already have a shirt similar to this, but they are so comfortable. To be quite honest, usually I just throw my hoodie over my bra when I exercise. But when summer comes along, that might kill me. (For those of you not familiar with California summer, it starts getting hot here in like May, and doesn't stop until usually October. September if we're lucky. Peak hot days get up to 107 degrees F+!) so this might be a better option.

4) Nike Dual Fusion Run - $80

Let's be honest. I've never spent this much on shoes. But recently, when I bought my new pair of trainers, I spent more money than I'm used to. But I'm used to buying cheap shoes. But I realized that a good pair of shoes makes all the difference. It's not a bunch of hoopla like I originally thought. Plus, these are so cute! The reviews look great on them too. Anyone want to get them for me?!
