Athleisure Everyday

February 27, 2017 By Ruthie Ridley 77 Comments

“Shoe Carnival provided me with product and compensation. The opinions I have shared about the products are my own.”

I am so incredibly excited to partner with Shoe Carnival today to chat about athleisure and the perfect sneakers to complete your look this Spring! Spring is the perfect time to update your sneaker collection! If I were to be completely honest with you all, this look right here is my uniform 85% of the time!! Athleisure is quite possibly my favorite way to dress during the week! People like myself,  buying “active-wear” these days are buying it for non active use as casual and everyday-wear!! It has been said that comfort has lately become as much a part of designer wear as aesthetics and sophistication… I agree 100%.  I do workout 3-4 days a week, but even when I am not at the gym,  I am wearing an outfit just like this one… Even after work, I change into athleisure.

When I am not at work, I am typically in between 3 different pick up and drop off times for the kids, after school activities and sports.  Running around with 3 littles 7 and under, I need comfort but I also want to look cute! Over the years, I have gathered some of my favorite athleisure pieces that are comfortable but cute at the same time. My sweatshirt, top and leggings are linked below and pair perfectly with these Nike Tanjun shoes!

I am sure that you would agree that besides your outfit, a key element to your everyday athleisure look is your shoe game!! I will be honest, I have everything in my closet as far as brands go, but Nike is my favorite. In my opinion, they come out with some of the most epic styles with the best colors and designs. I recently ordered these Nike Tanjun shoes from Shoe Carnival. I had them shipped overnight and it could not have been an easier process! I ordered a size 8.5  and they fit perfectly!  As you can see, I ordered a pair that is neutral and perfect for Spring! This particular pair will go with everything in my closet! Is anyone else obsessed with Nike as I am?! I remember buying my first pair with my own money from my paper route when I was 13! They were Nike Air Max! I can remember them like it was yesterday! Are you looking for a new pair of sneakers to complete your athleisure looks for Spring?! Look no further! You can check out these exact pair here, or head over to Shoe Carnival for a vast variety of brands and sneakers to fit your style and taste! Also, Shoe Carnival has in-store locations all over the United States! Check here to see if there is one near you! As always, thank you for stopping by the blog!

Much love,

    You are slaying the whole athleisure look here! Really effortless but chic! Really crushing on your sneaks even though I’m more of a bright colors gal I see these working with many of my outfits because they’re neutral. Will have to check Shoe Carnival and all their styles!

    I mean, what you say is valuable and everything. However imagine if you
    added some great graphics or video clips to give your posts more, “pop”!
    Your content is excellent but with images and video clips, this website could certainly be one of
    the most beneficial in its field. Fantastic blog!

I honestly went back and forth on sharing this but I honestly went back and forth on sharing this but why not 🤪. I left the worst ones out 😅

Online hate is wild to me. People behind a screen saying whatever they want not realizing it actually affects real people.

I posted a simple cute video of Ben and I going from regular clothes to our work uniforms. it went viral, which is a chance you take so I got a lot of love which I’m thankful for but a lot of hate as well.. these were all strangers, people who don’t know that we’ve been married almost 18 years, have a beautiful family, genuinely love each other, and love what we do and the people we serve 👮‍♂️ 👩🏾‍⚕️ 🩺 

You expect it to some extent but I didn’t realize how much words could still affect me…I’m 41 almost 42. It really doesn’t matter how old you are words still hit.

I’m not sharing this for sympathy just a reminder before you leave a mean comment on someone’s page whether it’s a stranger, someone you know, or someone with a big platform think twice. Words matter & they  impact people more than you think.

And don’t worry I got a new wig this week 😝💀🤣

This time last year I was unexpectedly renewing my This time last year I was unexpectedly renewing my Nursing 🩺👩🏾‍⚕️ license after leaving my job in 2020 and spending five years at home with my kids creating content full time. To say I was shocked to be reentering the workforce is an understatement. Sometimes life shifts and you just have to roll with it 😮‍💨

I am SO thankful I had the opportunity to go back to work but it was hard. I felt like I failed in my business & I was down BAD 😝 But I realized something….God makes NO MISTAKES.

I LOVE my current job & I STILL get to create content, but now it feels more authentic and true to who I am😌

I am dancing because I can & because I am thankful. Your life can change SO much in a year, overnight or In a MOMENT. Trust God with your life. He will NEVER let you down 🤍

If you’re new here, then I’ll give you a little bit of a backstory but also if you’ve been here for a while because a lot has changed in the last year 🤪. 

I became a nurse at 19 after graduating high school early, raised in a very purpose driven Jamaican home. Nursing was never just a job for me. It was provision, connection, and a way to serve people from all walks of life.

In 2020, I stepped away from nursing to pursue content creation full time, and it truly felt like a dream!!! The biggest blessing was the time it gave me with my family. Being present, raising my kids, and soaking in every moment 🥲

Then almost exactly a year ago, May 15, God called me back to nursing, and I couldn’t believe it. The transition was not easy, but it has been one of the greatest blessings. My heart is so full, and I have never felt more aligned in what I do.

God knows what He is doing. He makes no mistakes 🤍 Where are my nurses, law enforcement, and first responders at 🙋🏾‍♀️
