April 1 : Dear Diary ,
I am not traveling this week ! This means I will be getting to celebrate Walk to Work Day , it is held the first Friday of April in the US and was declared in 2004 by U . S . Secretary of Health and Human Services Tommy G . Thompson .
The day encourages Americans to walk to work for at least 30 minutes to promote good health . Sustained walking for a minimum time of thirty to sixty minutes a day , five days a week , reduce health risks and have various overall health benefits . We all know this and yet we still hop on the subway or grab that Uber rather than walk .
I think this is going to be my new goal , daily walking to not only increase my health but to also get to know my neighborhood better !
A daily walk through the park or walk to the office is just what the doctor ordered I think or would if I asked him ! I know diary how can a fashion forward girl WALK to work and not kill herself in heels .
New York City women have known for years to wear your walking shoes and put those heels in their bag for once they reach the office . I think I will invest in some of that cute fold up flats I see all over the internet and try to make this a habit . I also planned a great outfit with flat shoes that don ’ t have to be changed , ok they are boots but still cool outfit and cool comfy shoes , a winning combination !
Some outfits with the proper planning are just perfect for flat shoes or boots . I can hardly wait to wear my new outfit to mark the beginning of my new commitment to walking to work . I love that my work allows me to have a lot of freedom with my outfits , it is a perk to working in a creative field , even so I try to pair edgy with classic to stay professional looking . I adore an eclectic look so I paired my Sofija dark crop tee with my Gizza “ Colette ” pencil skirt , added patterned stockings , lovely “ Alexa ” Pearl jewelry by Maxi Gossamer and a cool ring called “ Haraheri ” by Mandala all topped off with a “ Lennox ” over the shoulder jacket by Emery .
The boots , I love my boots , tough studded boots by JD , oh and I can ’ t forget my Gizza “ Soho ” bag to carry all my stuff in ! I will let Wasabi Pills do my hair style called “ Happy ” isn ’ t that just perfect ? Seriously , Diary , this is a win / win outfit for me . I may even have to take two laps through the park just to show off a bit .
