Sitting Around On A Big Blue Bubble

What you see here is the outfit I wore to go out to the bars on Saturday night, and the exercise ball I'm using as a new desk chair. If you follow me on Twitter, then you saw me praising it... It's bouncy fun, good for posture, and works muscles slowly but surely--way better than sitting all folded up in a traditional computer chair! Wesley instantly recognized it as a toy and went on attack, which was hilarious. It's a bit too big for him to get a hold of! :) He leaves it alone now.

Metallic top - thrifted
Jeans - Target
Shoes - Bamboo by Journee
Purse - Vintage
Scarf - Vintage
Earrings - I can't remember if they're vintage or from Big Lots, and that's a compliment to Big Lots... Sometimes you can find some cool earrings there on the cheap, as long as you can wear mixed metals.

    those ball things are awesome - I remember the day my brother and I discovered how much fun it is to roll over them on your stomach!

    That scarf is great - and Yay for big earrings!

    Those big fit balls just remind me of being in labour and bouncing away in abject misery…

    Love your outfit, esp the shoes. I would wear the entire thing, I think we have similar styles :)

    I never know what to do with those gigantic balls….

  7. Miss Karen, on September 2nd, 2008 at 4:22 am Said:

    That’s such a cool outfit - I love your metallic top!

    I wonder if my work will replace their awful desk chairs with exercise balls? They’d make working so much more fun! I must speak to someone about this :D

  8. Ivy, on September 2nd, 2008 at 5:54 am Said:

    hahaha, Wesley rocks!
    Loving those heels, Ms.Spandex. And that scarf just completes the look, doesn’t it?

    I’m soooooo buying one of those balls now, I have the worst posture from sitting at this desk all day! Friggin’ brilliant idea

  16. ambika, on September 2nd, 2008 at 11:18 am Said:

    I adore your scarf and have been meaning to get one of those balls for ages.

  17. crash division, on September 2nd, 2008 at 12:17 pm Said:

    Looks like fun, sitting on that ball and using it as a desk chair. Looks fun and comfortable.

  18. Becca, on September 2nd, 2008 at 1:29 pm Said:

    Cute outfit! I love the jeans and shoes particularly. I have one of those balls as a desk chair too! I love love it. Gives you good posture but also fun to bounce on.. haha

  19. Couture Carrie, on September 2nd, 2008 at 2:20 pm Said:

    Hey Annie,
    Great idea on using the ball as a desk chair - I’ve heard that’s great for posture and for ab-toning!
    That scarf rocks :)

    Aww Wesley is so cute! As are your shoes!

  24. Michelle, on September 2nd, 2008 at 5:57 pm Said:

    I have a ball JUST LIKE THAT but haven’t thought about using it as an office chair…hmmm. I love those shoes with the skinny jeans!

  25. Elizabeth, on September 2nd, 2008 at 7:56 pm Said:

    I use a ball like that to do a backbend over. I so want to be flexible and be able to do a backbend on my own, so that ball is like my training wheels.
    Great pic of Wesley. I really like the picture of you and him in the car on your “About” page.

  26. Austere, on September 3rd, 2008 at 2:03 am Said:

    Great shoes and scarf!

  27. Grant, on September 3rd, 2008 at 3:31 am Said:

    You look so wonderful. I love the juxtaposing of the metalic top and the billowy scarf.

    Xx

    Awww, Annie, you are so gorgeous! I love your big vibrant scarf!

  31. amanda lee, on September 4th, 2008 at 6:58 am Said:

    Those exercise balls are amazing. I had one with little spines all over it. . . it was like getting a massage when you laid on it.

    (Also, your dog looks like my dog’s twin. Is he a border collie?)

  32. Sam, on September 4th, 2008 at 7:09 am Said:

    Lovely scarf! And ofcourse lovely outfit. And funny day your dog attacked the exercise ball haha

    your shoes, your scarf, and especially the big blue ball, are my favourites!

    i want a night out like that, i’m just too young.

  36. Annie Spandex, on September 5th, 2008 at 12:01 am Said:

    Sydney - From your blog it sounds like you have plenty of fun with your friends… Even if there is drama, it doesn’t stop at 20, there will always be challenges. Embrace living in your moment. Carpe Diem! –corny but true ;)

  37. Farren, on September 5th, 2008 at 6:51 pm Said:

    exercise balls are so fun to play around with. haha. i almost killed myself once bouncing around on one. hehehe.

  38. Cammila, on September 5th, 2008 at 11:24 pm Said:

    You’re like an adorable little fashionable yoga instructor. I’ve been thinking of getting one of those balls to replace my office chair at work! If it really does work then maybe I’ll just go for it! :)

  39. mspennylane, on September 6th, 2008 at 3:28 am Said:

    Is it really possible to stay sat on that at your desk? It seems like a really cool idea anyway, just need a bit of space for it!

  40. Annie Spandex, on September 6th, 2008 at 3:32 am Said:

    Farren - OH no! ahha

    Cammila - I got mine for $13… how can you lose? If nothing else, they’re great for doing crunches. ::nods::

    mspannylane - Yes! The body shifts naturally, which burns calories and works the core. It’s not uncomfortable. It’s just more active. :)

  41. Laura S. Taylor, on September 6th, 2008 at 4:59 am Said:

    ummmm…I am fucking getting one now. you rock. btw, the pic of the pup + dog = brilliance

  42. fashion chalet, on September 6th, 2008 at 9:57 am Said:

  43. Marisol, on September 6th, 2008 at 8:13 pm Said:

    I wish I could use one of those at work. They look really fun.
