I received a Custom Made Long Sleeve Belted Blouse from Suuchi for free in exchange for my honest review. The hardest part of the ordering process was deciding which pattern to go with! There are about 60 designs to choose from. I ended up going with a solid blue so, besides being my favorite color, it'd go with anything I have.
When I got the blouse I felt so lost. The belt is super long so I couldn't figure out how to make it work around my waist. So from the beginning I had mixed feelings about this blouse.
I asked the Suuchi reps about the belt and their response was
the belt is extra long to allow you to double tie it. Just fold it in 2 and wrap it around your waist.That was one of the ways I tied the belt but I still didn't like how it looked on me. Perhaps it has something to do with the aversion I've had to bows since...I can't remember when.
Because I was going to be busy in the kitchen on Christmas day I wore the Suuchi blouse to stay cooler making Benny's roulade and wrapping presents. I only got chilly a couple of times but for the most part my sweater stayed off. This blouse helped keep me at a comfortable temperature.
I wore the blouse for the first time outside the house yesterday. Since it's cold outside (and I freeze at work even wearing a sweater and having my space heater going) I wore a turtleneck underneath. My coworkers teased me about the blouse.
The first one wrapped the belt around me like something out of Star Wars. The second one tied it on my side. The third one said that I looked like I was a nurse. The fourth one said it looked like I was getting ready to practice some sort of martial arts. All women with different reactions to this blouse....
The Long Sleeve Belted Blouse looks pretty badass but I guess it's not really for me. I will keep it in my closet and probably wear again in the summer when I need something to keep me cooler.

FRIDAY I kept getting lightheaded and had crazy legs during Triometrics.
SATURDAY I tried the final Green Blender smoothie. It wasn't that bad.
I did Eccentric Upper afterwards. This workout had way too many pushups! LOL
MONDAY I did MMX. I started reading the Group Exercise (GX) Certification study material during lunch. Read the first two chapters during lunch - The Role of the Fitness Professional and Relationship Building & Communication Skills.

Yesterday I did Decelerator. I read chapter 3 - Behavior Modification & Motivation.
Today I did Triometrics. Chapter 4, Introduction to Wellness Coaching, is skipped for GX but since that's where I'm going next I'll go ahead and read this one.
Are you studying anything new lately?
Linking up with Jill for Fitness Health & Happiness.
